HIMI Gouache Paint Set, 24 Colors x 30ml/1oz with Brushes & Palette, Jelly Cup Design, Non-Toxic, Perfect for Beginners, Students, Artists(Green)

This set is very beginner-friendly and comes with a great range of colors. The paint is nicely opaque when used straight from the cups, but it also thins down easily into a watercolor-like wash with a little water. There’s a small learning curve if you’re new to gouache, but it’s very rewarding once you get the hang of it. I also love that once the paint dries, it works well with colored pencils on top for added details, which makes this set feel really versatile. Great quality for the price and a lot of fun to work with. Highly recommend.

This is going be a little bit of a long review so if you are looking for an honest review of this paint and products from this store. I’m going give it right here. I purchased this product for the first time this week. I have been doing paint by numbers about A year and a half. I am not an artist, nor do I know a whole lot about the creative aspect side of custom colors, or paint products as I am still learning.(However, I am 53, and a Hair Color Correction Specialist for 30 years) I was looking for reliable paint and products that actually work, as most of the time, the paint that is sent along with the kits are usually cheap and crummy, and I have wasted way too much money from various companies that continue to give empty promises. Even though I am still learning how to make my own custom colors. I have pretty good knowledge from my background that I am able to teach myself and have fun doing so. I came across this pallet after purchasing the iridescent and metallic bottles of their paint sets, in fact, I did not realize that this pallet was made from the same company as the metallic and iridescent paints that I had just purchased a week prior. (I always put a layer of clear gesso on My canvas before I begin to ensure color vibrancy and the longevity of the paint on the canvas) because the iridescent and metallic set was not only beautiful, but it was so easy to play around with, I decided to give this pallet a try..As I mentioned above, I’m not artist per se, but I have been so happy and excited because It has been so easy and so much fun Learning and mixing and playing with all of these colors, it’s now hard for me to stop. in fact, I purchased the other two pallets today. The pallet that includes the metallic colors and the other I think 56 color pallet. (should be coming in the next couple of days). If you are looking for Paint that actually works and that is not runny or see-through or having to do 10 coats before it covers, look no further, you will not be disappointed. Not only do you get your bank for your buck. You will be more than happy with your purchase. I found these amazing little hard, plastic paint pot and lids, I’m able to pull little bit of color from the jelly packs and squirting just a little bit of whatever I need From the metallic and iridescent colors and it stays nice and fresh.. I am really excited For the rest of my order to come in so I can continue to create. Thank you so much to this company for creating such amazing products. I look forward to being a happy longtime customer. (I’m just getting started, but I wanted to show how beautiful the colors look. I will upload the finished product when I am done.)

One of the best purchases I've ever made, and one that continues bringing me joy in a considerably more eco-friendly way than my acrylics did. Gouache has quickly become my all-time favorite medium, and while I likely wouldn't buy this set again for practicality (tubes are more practical and less messy for painting on the go), I'll likely always hold on to the one I have. It's opaque, it's bright, it dries matte (most of the time) and it's just fun. It's great for beginners to get familiar with gouache and was super easy for me to learn and actually develop decent skill with. You can get very expressive or very realistic with it, and once you learn color theory, it's a breeze to get the color you want. I'd recommend painting in monochrome styles for a while to get used to handling it and mixing the paints, and I'd REALLY recommend you buy a tube of white gouche to go with this because I ran out SO MUCH while I was learning. However, that's a problem that goes away with time and experience as you learn not to lean on white and black to adjust your colors. HOWEVER The brushes I got with the set didn't hold up very well, especially the pointed round, but I DID find a purpose for the... rounded... flat... thingy... one, which is almost unidentifiable after all the use. Once that brush in particular gets frayed, it's amazing for dry-brush-scrubbing in clouds! I'll also say that it's hard to keep this clean, especially if you're a messy painter like me, and that keeping it hydrated can be a chore. You'll occasionally have to spray them or drip a bit of water into each pan and give it a stir, wiping the tool you're using to stir with between pans. For more experienced painters, especially those with experience with watercolors or that like to travel, I'd really recommend getting tubes of gouache, a good mixing palette, and , or at least a smaller set, because this thing can be clunky to carry, the pans can leak if turned on their side or upside down, and it is kinda inconvenient to constantly have to rewet them to keep the paints from getting chunky. Also, and this is my biggest gripe, if the layer you're working on top of isn't perfectly dry, it will occasionally dry shiny or the bottom color will bleed through and refuse to be covered until it's fully dry. Thick over thin is key here, unless you're working on canvas panel, which I wouldn't recommend, or wood panel, which I would -- in that case, it's thick on thick to get it to stick! All that considered, though... I love this set. I love it dearly and it makes me so happy to pull it out of my little travel easel and set it on the table with its cute little clunk, and pop-pop it open and see all the love-worn colors glistening with color at me. I would recommend it heartily -- just not if you travel with your paints and value your sanity much. But then, what artist really does the latter?

Everything came in the box that was supposed to. It came with paints, a few brushes, and a paper that told you the colors. My grass green one came dried out, I have to add water to make it better consistency, overall I think it was a nice starter set

The paint consistency is nice and everything came packaged brand new. Just mixed all of the different colors up in their own container and they look great right on a canvas or on paper. The paints are good quality and have helped me create my art.

If you like to paint or have an artist in the family or friend, buy this!! The colors pop and the quality of the paint is the best!

Got this set for my kids and decided to give it a try. I normally work in watercolor and this was my first time using gouache; I was very impressed at how easy these were to use! The 3 included brushes were nice; I used a smaller brush of mine in addition to these to create my painting on cold-pressed watercolor paper. The initial set up was a bit messy and time-consuming; took me about 30 minutes to get all these opened and stirred, but well worth the results. Once stirred, all the paints were juicy and vibrant. I loved being able to use these like watercolors when diluted with extra water. I work fast, so their quick-drying property was just right for me. I’ll certainly be getting a set for myself!

This was a great set to explore gouache with. The colors are vibrant and can be thinned like watercolor as well. The lids are hard to peel and it’s messy versus tube colors but great set for the price nonetheless. The colors aren’t chalky or dull, for learning you can’t beat them. I did buy a small Holbein mix set after and there is definitely a difference but for an artist set the HIMI is still great. I tried gouache years ago and disliked it, too chalky too much filler. I’m glad I gave this set a try, I’ve fallen in love with gouache. 4 stars because it is hard to open the containers, the color labels are hard to read and the pink is labeled purple. The lid is hard to get to stay closed.
