Winsor and Newton Artists Acrylic Paint Starter (12 x 20 ml)

I waited a little while to leave a review, because I wanted to get a good feel for the paints first, but I think they’re definitely worth the money. There is really good pigment in most of the paints, it does dry extremely quickly so a wet-palette is a life-saver, the texture is nice and they’re not too stiff or too water-y, and they’re very easy to use in my experience, even with a cheap brush. I would recommend still adding an extra layer of gesso to whatever your painting on, and probably an underpainting of raw sienna just because some of the paints can be a little transparent and it can be quite hard to cover a stark white canvas without doing a whole bunch of layers. The paintings I’ve attached are all paintings I’ve done with these paints + a different tube of raw sienna by another company, and they’ve responded to varnishing well. I think the tubes stretch pretty far, but my biggest painting is smaller than A4, so if you’re looking to do a massive piece of work for school or something, I probably wouldn’t recommend these because they won’t stretch that far.

I took up art again as a hobby after a break of several years. These paints are well worth the investment - OK, they may be slightly more expensive than some other brands, however, considering the time you invest in your hobby then you reap the benefit many times over in terms of quality and pleasure in the final outcome. I was a little unsure of the 20ml size at first, however they go much further than I expected - the only exception is the 20ml white, however this is perfectly reasonable as it constantly gets used for colour mixing, so I independently purchased a 250ml bottle. Brushes clean up well. Overall very pleased, and would certainly recommend for beginners or occasional users.

It was well received as a gift and apparently is of reasonable quality - used for decorating pottery.

Standard known product but delivery spot on

I love these paints. I have used a few different brands of acrylics now and I have to say that these are my favourite. They are slightly thicker than some of the other brands making them far more versatile. If you want a thinner paint for a particular project you can always add a drop or two of water. The colours are lovely and I really like the fact that the colour does not change as the paint dries as it does with some other brands. As with other acrylics it’s very easy to clean up after use, brushes are a doddle to clean. This particular set has a good colour range and is good value for money. I will probably buy this set again when I have used them and then just get a few individual colours as required.

Decent paint

The quality of these paints compared to the cheaper brands, and compared to the non-professional version of the same brand, is significant. The depth of pigment is far superior and really noticeable.

2 blues. 2 reds, 2 green (which you can always mix) 3 yellows but no burnt seinna. Anyway, decent for the price.

Tinta com qualidade de pigmentação excelente. Superou minhas expectativas. Vale cada centavo.

I really appreciated the color selection available in this set. The value is there based on the color selection that is included. You can mix most colors from this. I did go ahead and supplement with 7 more colors to get my full palette (perylene green, sap green, payne’s gray, cad yellow medium, burnt sienna, burnt umber, cobalt blue).

I love it

ottimo

Son unas pinturas estupendas, con colores vivos y muy cubrientes
