Review on 🎨 Black Powder Tempera Paint - 1lb. Colorations: Affordable, Concentrated & Vibrant! Non-Toxic & Safe for Kids. Ideal for Arts & Crafts. Dilute as Needed. by Barbara Simmons

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Thick, not smooth. And it doesn't hold up well.

This powder is very light and chalky, making it very difficult to mix. Also, it was difficult to get the right consistency. No matter how much I mixed it was a little clumpy and not thick and smooth like pre-mixed tempera paint. However, the deal breaker for me was the fact that it doesn't hold up well. I figured I could mix up the batch and save for later, but when I came back to it a week later, it had turned into an oily, lumpy mess and smelled rancid. Pooh. If you want to use this right away and aren't too picky about the texture then this might be fine. At least the color was nice and bright.

Pros
  • VERSATILITY: There are many techniques and color options. Dissolve the powder in water, stir and paint with brushes and sponges on various substrates such as wood, canvas and paper. Kids love the consistency of the color and the ease of application.
Cons
  • Only available in black
