HIMI Twin Cup Jelly Gouache Paint Set, 48 Colors x 12ml/0.4oz with 3 Brushes & a Palette, Non-Toxic, Jelly Guache Paint for Canvas and Watercolor Paper - Perfect for Beginners, Students, Artists

I got this set from a friend who had never painted in her life. She didn’t feel confident and gave the set to me. I have never used gouache, but loved the colors! I’m used to oils and watercolor so this was a bit of a switch, but when I’ll get used to very quickly, I really liked it. I feel it’s great quality. Several people ever remarked about the fact that it only came with three brushes. Most paint sets come with one brush! I really liked the brushes as well. Clean them very well because they don’t clean as easily as watercolor, but not difficult either. I did not know that gouach paints need to be sealed. So keep that in mind when purchasing. Get some wax or spray…. Just read about the different options. The 4 ounce jar of wax is about $12. Krylon clear spray is about $16 but will last a long time.

Very smooth, from almost pasty opaque to transparent washes, and the colours are excellent.

Yes my granddaughter loves them! She says the color is so vibrant!

See below the way I choose the star rating. The HIMI Gouache paints are such a beautiful set. The colors are more vibrant than I expected. There’s a good mix of opaque vs transparent colors. It is essential to swatch them! I am used to gouache from the tube, so these take a bit of getting used to. It is recommended to spritz them with DISTILLED water or the original HIMI spray (I don’t really know what is in there but it’s a product you can buy). You can see on the picture that the consistency varies quite a bit, from liquid-smooth, to stiff and clumpy. But they all liquefy nicely with water. The brushes provided are nice with a good stiffness, but you might need to add one smaller one for details. The biggest disadvantage is that you only buy those in sets, not open stock. But for now I enjoy creating with them. Star Rating: ***** Exceeds expectations and is better than thought **** Meets expectations and would buy again *** Some minor flaws but ok for the price, would not buy again ** Terrible and I only keep it when the price is right or because of lack of better alternative *Returned the item because it doesn’t work as advertised, is broken, or quality is extremely poor

Vibrant, multiple color choices, drys quick! Easy to clean off fabric and glass.
