Arteza Gouache vs Winsor & Newton Gouache Review 

The W&N painting looks better because the colors are more cohesive, which is one of main benefits of using limited palettes I think. Arteza sets come with so many colors, and beginners will tend to use paint straight from the tube

In my area we have a lot more and better option for artist grade non-Asian made gouche brands that are half or third price of the hell expensive W&N: Renesans, Umton, Saint Petersburg and my favorite PANNONCOLOR Made in Budapest, HU. I have a nice collection of W&N gouache paints, they are fantastic but no way they are (much) better than these brands. If you happen to visit these countries i highly recommend to buy gouache from local stores here.

I actually bought the Winsor and Newton Introductionary set about a week ago, and I never knew how much I was gonna love these paints! I've never used gouache before and after many youtube videos I settled on W&N. Will definitely be buying some other colors I would like to have just to have more options 😊 beautiful paintings btw!

Love the art! Arteza is great however they don't have a good primary magenta in any set so if youre gonna go with arteza buy a tube of artist magenta to get better mixes for purples and oranges. Also arteza ia a lot of multi pigment mixes which can mix muddier colours and obviously they wont be as lightfast.

more tutorial videos like this!!! so relaxing and fun to watch your process

I like the Arteza one way better. It’s punchy and saturated. The WN one looks dull, almost faded.

Hullo Keila, thanks for sharing your thoughts and comparison of these two gouaches. I am always wondering about longevity when buying the less expensive options for art supplies. Is Arteza going to last? I have seen their pigment information/lightfastness on the tube but not how they test it? I have several artworks that I have from when I just started out and I took the cheaper route and they have not held up well. I know that you made this video over a year ago, but I am curious about your current situation. Do you still use the Arteza products? I am just as curious about the way that you are holding your brush, you can do whatever makes you feel comfortable, I am aware of working over the long haul and holding your brushes and pencils in the “fist grip” can lead to problems in later life. You might look into a more relaxed grip, just a little something to think about for yourself and your comfort as you continue with your art/life journey. I hope I get the chance to see more of your videos and artworks! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

Are the Arteza available open stock? If you run out of a most used colour and you need to buy a full set to replace it, that can work out very expensive.

I love this review. It gave me some great information. I paint awards in the Society for Creative Anachronism using gouache paints, and we're always on the lookout for good paints for our beginners. Generally, most of the painters I know try more for recreating the look of medieval manuscripts, which is why many go for the more professional grade paints like Windsor Newton. How lightfast would you say the Arteza paints are? If they don't tend to fade, these would be a great alternative for beginners on a budget.

can i use watercolor paper with gouache?

I missed it what kind of paper do you use?

I sooo loved your review. I bought Arteza. I bought the arteza “ tackle box” and didn’t like all of the fluorescent colors. I then bought the portrait set of 12 and these mixed very well to give me a better range of acceptable colors.

What is that storage thing in the beginning i need 10 of them

hi i really love how "messy" the paper edge looks. how did you tear it?

Great tutorial and info!

What’s the best gouache for a beginner?

What set of arteza gouache do you recommend

Nice video, liked your choice of image. That looks like the takoyaki signs! Mmm takoyaki.

You painted the W&N with a larger brush and more careful strokes…. Also, you didn’t make an effort to mix the same colors. That could have been achieved. Biased, unfair review/comparison.

👍👍👍😎

cool video
