Plaid Gallery Glass Window Color Value Paint Set, 17030 (31-Colors)

Love the variety of colors, cut out the box color dot and added it to the bottles as there is no name on the little pots to know what it will look like dry if they are no longer with the box!

Me llegó la mitad de pinturas secas y no se pueden utilizar. Sin solución.

As described,the pack comes with two large bottles (black and clear), 6 large pots of basic colours and then a whole bunch of little pots of shades and effects type colours - ones with a sort of semi crackle effect, or slightly shimmery, or just different shades.It also comes with a little black toothpick type thing which can be used for spreading the paints.I was using them to finish of a project that I had started with bottle type paints, and hadn't been able to make or find the colour combinations that I wanted. The process is quite simple, the black leading is thick and doesn't spread, so you can draw lines and leave sort of fences around the edged that you want to fill with colour, you then flood the spaces between the fences with colour, filling right up to the depth of the leading (it isn't like painting at all really). Then leave to dry. What starts out as a milky opaque liquid, dries to a transparent/translucent colour. It works well if you follow the docs.Because I had set my picture up to use brush on paints, which dry a lot closer in appearance to how they go on, and don't have to be painted on so thickly, I had a bit of blotchyness and had to go over with multiple layers of this paint to build it up and get the effect that I wanted, I also had patches of different colours next to each other with no leading, so this made things more difficult, but the colours didn't run into each other too much. You can see my hand behind the image to give an idea of the opacity of the colours. - note the yellow and the black had already been done with paint on type glass paints.

works well

Don't let the low price fool you, this is the top quality stuff.Anyone who has used Gallery Glass colors before will love this set. I am a great fan of the Amber tint which I use to color high power LED lights for outdoor lantern applications. Now, I needed a few other colors to simulate candle flames and I was looking for the most economical way to get them. This set filled the bill, in spades!I guess Gallery was able to furnish so many colors so cheaply because of their packaging. All but the white and lead colors (in the familiar, large, 2 Oz., squeeze bottles) come in small pots but there is still plenty of material to use. This stuff is easy to get out of the containers and you only remove what you want. The primary colors are in 3/4 Oz. pots and the exotic colors are in 3/16 Oz. pots (approx). But Hey, for the price, that's a LOT of coloring.It is easy to see how the price was kept down, PACKAGING. The manufacturer simply squirted the color into the pots, eight at a time for the more exotic mixes and six at once for the basic colors. All were capped together and the whole automated process probably took less than five steps. Brilliant! A win-win.Once the carton is opened, it becomes obvious that the tops and pots are strung together and need to be seperated. No problem. Small, sharp diagonal cutters are the best choice and cutting the connecting tabs takes only a couple of minutes. Then voila!, you're ready to go.As expected, the colors are clear and true and the stuff stays where you put it. Need deeper color? Just add another layer. It is easy to control the exact saturation that you want, and being water polymer based, cleanup is a cinch.The only problem is trying to choose what color you want, even with the excellent color chart, because there are so many choices. 31 is a lot of colors, even if five of them are shades of gray.This is a tremendous starter set. If you need more of any particular color, it is available in the large 2 Oz. squeeze bottle and you'll know what to call it. KEEP THE BOX AND TRAY. If you mix stuff up, the color chart and numbered caps will get you back on track.
