  • Perfect, Beautiful Paints! Fantastic Price!
Style: 48 x 22ml (0.74-oz) Pattern Name: Paint Set
Before I bought these paints, I read all the reviews and most of them seemed pretty positive. And they should be! These paints are wonderful! But I was curious as to why some people gave them 1 or 2 stars, and had complaints.So, I read those low-scored reviews and here is what I saw. The negative reviews all addressed the same issues: they said that the paint was thin, watery, transparent; they said the colors were not rich; they said that the tube was not filled all the way; they said that the paint squirted out upon opening the tube. This told me a lot, so I ordered the paints and knew what to do. Just do this when you get your set-- shake the tube of paint before opening it!!! The tube is not filled all the way full because it needs room for the paint to blend when you shake it! Acrylic paint, as do all paints, separate when left still for awhile. So, before you twist off the cap of the tube, shake it firmly for several seconds. The "empty" space in the tube will allow for the paint to blend as you shake it. Then, hold the tube with the cap upright and then twist the cap off. The paint will not squirt out or splatter. The paints are rich and creamy with vibrant colors! They cover with one brush stroke. And, they blend beautifully together when you use more than one color while they are still wet. Plus, you only need to use a small dollop--not a lot--for the paint to go a long way. I am going to get another set for myself, even though I just now started using this one, and I am going to get one for my boyfriend, too. They will work wonderfully in his airbrush, as well as traditional paint brushes. Don't be scared off by negative reviews. Just shake the tube before using!! ... show more

  • Nice beginner set. It would make a nice gift, too.
Style: Starter Box 9x75ml (2.4-oz) Pattern Name: Paint Set
I like this product. It is mt go to acrylic paint for everything I do. I do a lot pf craft like paint projects a a little amateur painting. These work for and on everything. The are versatile and easy to mix and thin as needed. You get a decent size of basic colors, a set of brushes and the box. The box has room for more paints, brushes, a small palate, jar or whatever you would like to store and put away easily. Convenient. ... show more

  • Great product!
Style: 48 x 22ml (0.74-oz) Pattern Name: Paint Set
I wanted to try some different paints for gelli plate printmaking and these fit the bill nicely. They are technically student grade paints so the colors aren't quite as rich as with artist grade paints, but still have a decent pigment load, and cover much better than the craft paints I have been using, especially for multiple layered prints. The paint spreads smoothly on the gelli plate. I don't seem to need to use as much paint for each print, so I think the paints will last longer. Great color selection and price. ... show more

  • detailed review on the whole package
Style: 48 x 22ml (0.74-oz) Pattern Name: Paint Set
very great price at $31.00 plus prime shipping you cant beat it. I alter MTG cards for side cash and these are enough to do hundreds of cards. I cant see myself needing to buy more this year since I only use these on small projects. I did buy another though since I noticed amazon selling one that has a damaged box but the tubes are still intact for under $27 and these are a steal. about the storage box. a very sturdy box. the top cover completely covers all four sides so you have to pull the top completely off like a velveta cheese box. which is fine but I was surprised and though these would be in a cheap cardboard or plastic flimsy box but this box is very sturdy and with regular use will prob last longer than the paints. the paints are stacked on 4 plastic dividers with 12 tubes on each row. the holes in the top of the box are really there with just a very thin layer of clear plastic so you can really see the paint through the box. if you remove the plastic or for some reason it came off it wouldn't affect the box look or use at all since the holes are so small that even if you didn't have the dividers and just threw your paint in the box and shook the box the paint tubes would not fall out. about the paint its good paint if you ever used liquitex brand you know they have a good quality and vibrate colors. each tube has just about the same amount (if not a little less) of paint as a average tube of toothpaste. so use this info to decide if these is enough paint for you. would I recommend yes! for the price that I paid for 2 boxes was less than 1 box at regular price. plus prime shipping. plus this is a great brand. all around great amazon prime find! if you can get these for $40 or under with prime shipping at least you would be saving so much! ... show more

  • great product, but 2 colors missing
Style: 48 x 22ml (0.74-oz) Pattern Name: Paint Set
Great acrylic paint for anyone. Lots of colors to see what colors you love, and want to buy more, or use them for a small project so you dont have to buy a big size if you're only doing a small project. But I got two of the same color, and one wrong color. So "technically" I am missing two paint colors. over all, I love it! ... show more

I have found these paints have much better coverage and you have better control of how much paint you use versus the bottled paint.
