Winsor & Newton Designers' Gouache Introductory 10-Tube Paint Set, 14ml,Blue,green,ivory,white

Great started set with both a warm and cool of the main colors that can help with mixing and creating a great variety of colors. I bought it as my starter set after using other brands and it just takes the art to a new level, mixes well with other colors and the paints have a great thickness and opacity. Great value for the money. You will be able to create several paintings with this set.

They're on your syllabus for a reason kiddos! These are so... SO expensive, but truly the quality is phenomenal. Any and all cheap alternatives that might tempt you truly aren't worth the time or money. Windsor Newton has high quality, smooth, pure colors that blend well with each other. I know it's tough on college money, but it's truly worth it to just get these the first time instead of trying to cheap out and regretting it later when I figure out why these are the best a few hours before critiques.

Great beginner set with warm and cool primaries.Great mix ability. Learn with the good stuff!

Where have you been all my life?? The perfect blend of the vibrancy of acrylics and the fun of watercolor painting. Easy to use, small learning curve as it dries pretty fast but I use a wet paper towel with parchment paper on top and mix on the parchment paper. With a slight spritzing of water every now and then it stays wet for hours! I bought this on sale for $30 from overseas. Great value for money. I also bought it a year ago for $60 and while willing to pay that again I watched and waited for a sale because I wanted more paint before I needed it. I have M. Graham gouache as well and prefer the variety of colors this box gives. I'm having so much fun with it!!

You can mix most colors with the colors provided. Unless you need a lot of a specific color the colors provided and tone can be readily achieved with the colors provided. If starting out this is the perfect set. Windsor Newton quality is unsurpassed.

Winsor Newton Gouache is the choice for many people. It's a tad on the thin side for me, but it's gorgeous and this set is all you need to get amazing results with your paintings. Yes, I will use it, but my favorite in quality and value is still DaVinci.

Gave it as a gift, she said that the quality is outstanding.

The 10 tube Introductory set was in excellent condition. Price of $25.95 was a real steal for this high quality, artist grade gouache. DId NOT have any issues with the tubes. Paint appears quite fresh. As noted by some other reviewers the red tubes did appear to be slightly runny when first opened. That happens sometimes with tube paint but it isn't fatal. None of the tubes spurted paint out. None of the tubes were dried up. The paint was fresh, mixed cleanly and painted beautifully. Delighted!Update: Some people complained that the W&N Designers Gouache did not re-wet well. So I tested it. Left the gouache in a porcelain mixing palette for 5 days to test the re-wetability of this gouache. Took an eye dropper and dropped clean distilled water on the dried gouache. Came back about 5-10 minutes later and had no trouble stirring the paint and painting with it! Colors still look super pigmented and really pop! More than delighted now!Some do say that putting 4 drops of glycerin per half pan mixed with the gouache will help it re-wet more easily. I haven't tried that, yet.
