12 color set Holbein gouache (japan import)

Ya había escuchado de la calidad de esta marca pero al probar de primera mano las pinturas quede sorprendido. Al principio estaba preocupado por el tamaño de los tubos, pero con la excelente pigmentación en la pintura la cantidad ya no resulto un problema

I haven't tried my Gouache paints yet but I still gave them 5 stars based on my other Holbein watercolours. They make an excellent product for artists.

I am a pretty successful artist by trade and have been for 27 years here on the West Coast. I do a lot of work for greeting card companies, advertisers, and lot of creative work showing 4 to 5 times a year via collective and one person shows, festivals, and fiestas, such as the Napa Valley Food and Wine Festival, the Festival of Arts at Laguna Hills, the Sausalito Art Festival, et al. So my mind is whirring 24/7 . This little pack of Holbein Artists Gouache is easy to pack and carry, as I often find myself with a sudden idea for a painting in the craziest places; restaurants, parks, movie theaters, family gatherings etc.The Holbein Artists Gouache Set fits perfectly in my small fanny pack along with my portable brushes, small plastic bottles of medium and water,and water color pads. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. The colors are rich, true, and well defined. So when an idea for a piece comes unexpectedly, I can whip out my kit, find a reasonably quiet spot and capture the design that I have in my head before it dissipates into thin air.. Family and friends are used to this odd behavior by now and thankfully, take it for granted. If you are like me, buy this product.

received the incorrect set which excluded: Prussian blue, emerald green, and yellow ochre (replaced with violet, turquoise blue, and permanent green light). Incorrect picture from packaging received as well. Despite this, the quality of Holbein gouache is fantastic and I of course will continue using them.

This is my first gouache purchase. LOVE them! I usually paint in watercolor, but I have been watching James Gurney on youtube and he paints in gouache, so I thought I should give it a whirl because I absolutely LOVE his work. When I first swatched these paints, I was just amazed at how vibrant they were. I was in love. They are just SO opaque and when I paint with them there is such energy! I recently tried Lukas gouache and their product just does not compare. These Holbein paints are FABULOUS. And the set is good, because it gives you both warm and cool primary colors. You can make so many colors with the mixing of these paints.Thank you to Holbein for producing such lovely paints. They are a joy to work with.
