Winsor & Newton Designers' Gouache Primary Color 6-Tube Paint Set, 14ml | Opaque matt colour, perfect for creating bold, vibrant artworks. Popular with designers, illustrators and commercial artists.

Perfect basic set of high quality Winsor & Newton gouache. Excellent color saturation. A pleasure to paint with.

I recently discovered the joys of gouache! It’s like a blend of two of my most used medium: watercolor and acrylic. While I will admit I’m not a paint-ologist, that’s definitely how I would describe working with these. The texture and consistency is buttery smooth and is easy to water down for thinner applications, or use straight out of the tube for bolder, brighter color. The opacity is fantastic. While they are a little pricier than I would like, you really get what you pay for.

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.

So, little disclaimer here, I'm new to gouache. (Literally started using it five days ago.) I previously bought and have been using Reeves gouache to play with until these arrived since they were cheap AND on sale. There are HUGE, noticable differences between the two. Yet I love them both. Man oh man, I thought the Reeves was bright, these outshine them 100%! Pros: -They're very opaque, and cover well. Even light over dark. -They dry fast. -They mix well. -They are chocked full of pigment. -They don't lift off each time you try to add another layer (*cough cough* Looking at you, Reeves.) Cons: - The white loves picking up the other colours if they're still slightly wet. -They have an odd smell. Especially the green. -They will stain plastic pallettes, I advise a ceramic plate or pallette instead just to be safe. Y'know, unless you don't care if it stains it then don't worry about this flaw! -Maybe this one is my brushes, but I used different types and got the same result. The paint just loves staying in the brushes! Make sure to dab them off on a tissue just to make sure all pigment is out before switching colours. I did not however have this problem with my water brushes. (Niji and Pentel.) That's about it, honestly these paints have already made a huge impact on my life and I just got them today, lol. I hope you all take the plunge and buy these! They're worth it. Woooorth it! (Though if you can't afford them, definitely buy Reeves, they're not as bad as people make them out to be, you just can't go as heavy with them, you gave to use them more like a watercolour.)

I've had these for a year now and have used them on several projects with much success. I experimented with cheap gouache to practice and loved the properties of the medium (opaque to layer easily from light to dark and back again, ability to cover mistakes and easily rework areas, and the ability to go back with white gouache to add highlights). They are much like watercolors but much more forgiving. The cheaper gouache, although came with more color range, was very chalky, difficult to blend, and it was extremely difficult to get a uniform wash of color over large areas. I have not experienced any of those negative qualities with the Winsor and Newton Gouache and have merely enjoyed using them. They are very smooth to work with, lay down smoothly, blend and layer well, and are not chalky at all. This primary set comes with all the colors necessary and with practice, patience, and maybe some help from the internet you can even achieve flesh and earth tones. Highly recommended.

Received two Primary blues instead of one tube of the Ultramarine. Packaging issue. Nothing against the product or brand. I have enjoyed WnN for a longtime.

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.

Did a lot of research to make sure I was doing a good decision because I am new to gouache. A lot of people on Reddit recommended this brand, and strongly advised against jelly palettes. This product is soo worth the money! THE PAINTS ARE SO PIGMENTED! New to the medium, but I can’t imagine painting with cheap unpigmented paints that the other brands have to offer. This is not a medium you should cheap out on!

Fabulous product

I was expecting 6 tubes of paint, I received 4. The box that the paints came in was in tatters, with some oil-like substance that had seeped through the entire packaging and ruined the other item (a paperback book) that came in the same parcel. The paint quality is good, of the 4 that I have, but very disappointed in the packaging quality, or its lack thereof.

Vale cada centavo! Deus... O que se vende com o nome de gouache aqui no Brasil definitivamente não é gouache... Isso é gouache! Quero saber como deve ser um Holbein (provavelmente muito melhor ainda). Sonho!!! Recomendo a qualquer um que deseje ter uma boa experiência com gouache.

Ich habe die Designer Gouache von Winsor & Newton als Einsteiger-Set mit 10 Farben gekauft, um Gouache in professioneller Qualität kennenzulernen, ohne gleich eine große Farbpalette anschaffen zu müssen. Gesucht war ein Set, das vielseitig einsetzbar ist und sich gut in bestehende Maltechniken integrieren lässt. Insgesamt umfasst die vollständige Farbpalette der Designer Gouache von Winsor & Newton 87 Farbtöne. Da in dem 10-teiligen Einsteiger-Set sind folgende Farben enthalten: Primärgelb, Permanentgelb, Spektralrot, Primärrot, Ultramarin, Primärblau, Permanentgrün Mittel, Gelbes Ocker, Rußschwarz und Zinkweiß. Die Gouachefarben zeichnen sich durch hohe Pigmentierung, gute Lichtechtheit und sehr gute Deckkraft. Die Farben trocknen matte auf, ohne nachzudunkeln. Die Farben sind lösungsmittel- und geruchsfrei. Die Farben lassen sich zudem jederzeit wieder mit Wasser anlösen, was Korrekturen erleichtert. Obwohl das Set auf den ersten Blick überschaubar wirkt, lässt sich damit erstaunlich vielseitig arbeiten. Durch die enthaltenen Primärfarben sowie Schwarz und Weiß kann man eine sehr große Bandbreite an Farbtönen selbst mischen. Die Designer Gouache lässt sich problemlos mit Aquarellfarben kombinieren, was das Set auch für Mixed-Media-Arbeiten interessant macht. Pro ------ - sehr gute Einsteigerzusammenstellung - Primärfarben, Schwarz und Weiß ermöglichen vielseitiges Mischen - hohe Pigmentierung und gute Deckkraft - mattes Finish - gut mit Aquarellfarben kombinierbar - geruchsfreies Arbeiten ohne Lösungsmittel Contra ------------ - begrenzte Farbauswahl im Vergleich zur vollständigen Palette - da nur eine Tube Zinkweiß im Set vorhanden, muss relativ schnell Weiß nachgekauft Fazit ------- Das Einsteiger-Set der Winsor & Newton Designer Gouache ist trotz der begrenzten Farbanzahl äußerst vielseitig.
