Good job for having never used oil paints before! Don't stop using them. Watch some videos on YT. Lots of good instruction available. Like you did with this painting, just play!
I have a similar one. I got tired of coloring in my chair and getting a neck ache from looking down. I set this up on my card table and color away!!!!!
Looks like their Acrylic Gouache is just as bad as their watercolors. Which is weird, since their regular Gouache is pretty decent. Guess they need to find a better chinese supplier, lol. Which will mean a price increase for these. Not sure they will still be as affordable then. Tho for what they offer now, these are definitely overpriced.
Heck yea I was looking for this on Amazon and they want $30! I’m sure the quality is better and nicer wood….but for 2 kids I don’t want to spend $60…..I’m gonna head over to 5 Below Monday!!!! Thanks for this video!
I wish I’d have found this earlier- I’m a beginner and I was so frustrated wondering why everything was so streaky! I’ll be donating these and picking up the Turner!
Thanks for the video. The Arteza has a decent rating on Amazon (4.3 out of 150, 102 being 5 star) and they were running several promotions for a total of 35% off, so I got the 12 count for under $12 dollars. I bought it basically to put a waterproof tone on a couple sketchbooks (Strathmore 400, 6x8 184lb mixed media) with various colors, without resorting to acrylic or casein, because, like others I had read their regular gouache was pretty good and had high hopes for the acrylic gouache. So hopefully for that purpose (toning paper) it will work out. And after watching your video, it won't be my future choice for dedicated gouache painting, so when I go to buy my next set of Gouache, for actual painting, I'll go with the Turner.
I've read the reviews on Amazon saying its more like glorified low grade acrylic paint with not a lot of pigment to them basically. Was hoping this was good because Im trying to find some paints to do faceup on my doll that keeps the pigment colorful with less brush strokes needed.
Nice review. I recently purchased the 24 tube set of Masters Touch and am excited to use it. Did the swatching and was impressed by the flow and creaminess. The price for the set was about $9 at Hobby Lobby. Unbelievable!
Masters Touch Acrylic Gouache? I have not tried that, but I have tried their regular Gouache and it is comparable to Arteza Gouache (which is decent), but I found that Arteza is like a bit better than Masters Touch (regular gouache). It's good to know that their acrylic gouache is better than Arteza's.
I like that a few of lower cost companies are trying to make Acrylic Gouache but so far they can't seem to even come close to comparing with Holbein or Turner.
Oh, what a bummer. Arteza regular gouache is my go-to. LOVE it. Too bad they didn't put the same quality into these paints. Thanks so much for your review -- was considering these on Amazon and now am back to contemplating Turner. Do you have an opinion on Holbein acrylic gouache?
Thank you for this review..saved me a few bucks! I do like the regular gouache from Arteza but Turner is my favorite both in traditional gouache or acryl gouache. Arteza is a great company in general..I hope they can improve this paint.
Thank you for your review. I got these with a great discount. I don't love them but I will use them. The odd names along with the lack of pigment information makes it harder to mix so I am glad I got the larger set. They are very transparent and the white is terrible so I ordered a large PW6 to supplement. I plan on two layers with white mixed in at least the first for opacity. I also have some Japanese gouache to compare it to and there is really no comparison. Pros are that it does handle like gouache and the black is pretty good. I give them a 3 out of 5.
They have no pigment, right! I didn’t show in the video but when I washed off the red paint, and every color I used, my dirty water never turned any color! Not even red! I give them a 0 out of 5! 😅
@Roxie Colors Understood. I will not be repurchasing this brand. I plan on leaving a review on Amazon where I got them because most of the current reviews are from Vine.
Hello, I really like Arteza Gouche for beginners because it's in tube form and easy to use. I have also compared it to one of the jellys and Arteza was much better.
Lyra has a beautiful set that are like the Neocolors! I have those to, they are just as nice (less expensive) but that can’t be purchased open stock. Lyra’s melt like butter as well.
I have the same case for my gouache and it won’t grow mold if you care for your gouache and add clove oil or a spray of alcohol. I have 3 with jelly gouache and they are holding up great.
You only know the difference when you’re working with them the cheaper ones are a bit thinner and a little bit grittier and the expensive gouache is smoother and just better to work with in my opinion.
In my opinion you can see the difference between the two student grade paints and the Holbein, but it’s not a huge difference. Other than that Holbein has good lightfastness and the others will fade if hung on the wall.
I found my set of Master's Touch to be quite watery and had a rough and gritty texture when dry. But the texture thing is also true of their watercolor. I ended up putting the paint in a palette because even stirring it in the tube didnt help the mixture. It still poured out runny. I ordered the Arteza gouache to see if it would be any better so this review was interesting. Thanks!
I am painting with them now and Yes they dry gritty. 🥰 I am also going to paint with Arteza again and see if they also feel gritty. Thanks for pointing that out. 😊
I painted with Arteza today and YES it feels exactly the same as the MT. Gritty when dry. There were maybe a few areas where it was not gritty but the majority of both paintings were gritty.
