Beautiful, unusual colors, and cool effects if you use a wet brush.

I read some of the reviews but decided to give these a try anyway. I'm glad I did. One person mentioned the smell of these acrylic paints. In my opinion, these smell the same as other acrylic craft paints like Plaid, not offensive. Just normal acrylic paint smell. Another comment said that these dry too fast, but that was not my experience. I feel that I had plenty of time to work with these and blend them before they dried. My one small dislike is that this set doesn't contain a true primary red. The reds range from a pretty burgundy color to an orange red. So if you need a normal Christmas red, you won't find it in this set. But there are some beautiful and unusual colors in this set such as a magenta, a lovely robin's egg blue and a mossy green. After I use them, I just keep them in the box because the box has a plastic tray on the bottom that keeps the bottles neatly in place. If you want to have the feeling of using gouache paint, use a damp brush to paint with these. If you want the effect of watercolors, add a couple of drops of water to the paint in your palette and it thins out nicely. This set contains 3 synthetic brushes, they're decent considering that they're a bonus item and the smallest brush comes to a nice point. In my photos, I show a 15 minute sunflower that I painted using these and a black Sharpie for details. I also made a swatch chart to show the colors. I'm glad I tried these because, after playing around with them, I find them easy to use and versatile.

Pros
  • The acrylic paint set is durable and will last for a long time without drying out or losing its quality
Cons
  • The paint can be frustrating to use for beginners
