They grow on you. And a fantastic, economical deal if you’re doing large pieces. Give them a try!
As I started moving onto larger pieces, I was going through my preferred Winsor & Newton Professional way too fast. I’d go through a 250ml tube in just a couple pieces, and it was costing too much. I tried these (now have about a couple dozen different colors in this line). Not the best quality, espe
cially considering I’d call these ‘student grade’. And Hues are never as rich as pure pigments. But at this price, especially for a large piece with bold, heavy colors, these have been a godsend. They are highly glossy finish, but that’s easy to fix with a sealer. I’ve learned to wait 4-6 weeks (at least) before sealing these. All in all, I’m going to continue purchasing and continue using. I can’t give 5 stars because they aren’t ‘professional’ quality. But they fit a niche perfectly! I’d highly recommend giving them a try. [I didn’t like them for the first few weeks. It took some time for me to appreciate them. This review was written about 2-3 months after I started using them.]

This is not heavy body paint, it's medium bodied. it's also highly glossy, which I dislike. Glossy paint blinds the viewer. How can they see your painting if the light bouncing off is blinding them? It's distracting. Soho has no light fast rating and no pigment is listed on the tubes. If you are just
practicing or playing around then this is OK, but what if you accidentally create a masterpiece, wouldn't you like your paint to be trustworthy? I'm going to stick with Grumbacher and M. Graham, semi-gloss and high quality.

Good Quality Paint for the Price (DioxineViolet)
Size: 250 ml Tube
Color: Burnt Sienna
Good thick quality paint. Rich deep colors. This Violet is so dark out of the bottle it is almost black. Then you add water and it blooms this amazing intense purple. When it's tacky dry you can scrape it off instead of peel it off (which is common for most acrylic I'm familiar with, including grumba
cher premium acrylic). Some reviews complained about the glossy finish, but I saw none of that. It was a pleasure to work with. Update : there is a little glare in the wrong light after it dries a bit, but not more than I've seen in other paints, including liquatex and grumbacher. I recommend going over the painting with a thin layer of matte glaze once the painting is dry.

Warning: This is glossy! Good, but NOT matte.
Size: 250 ml Tube
Color: Ivory Black
Great paint. Heavy body, goes on smooth, is good and dark. But.... BEWARE! This is glossy! They don’t really mention that in the description. It’s a very deep, dark black, but very reflective.

Very bright, vibrant yellow!
Size: 250 ml Tube
Color: Lemon Yellow
I really like the heavy body soho brand because it's thicker to paint with than the more creamy/liquid kind. Plus most of the time doesn't need more than one coat. This came pretty quick in the mail too and in new shape.

Couldn't tell you how the paint was. It arrived in a busted up jar, the paint was everywhere, the lid and jar were in pieces. Far too frustrated to attempt to get a replacement.

These paints are the best. I’ve tried others, but these seem to mix better together to have other colors. I ordered the basic red, green, blue, brown, yellow and white. I definitely think for the quality and the price these are the best.

I am used to using Liquitex Heavy Body or Golden Heavy Body, so I found this stuff to be good for mixing, but it doesn't cover as much as the other two. For the price, it isn't too bad.. It goes on evenly and is a generous size, convenient tube.
