This set is huge and you get a wide variety of colours. It’s very heavy but it has a handle on the top so it is portable and easy for transporting. It comes with a free paint pallet which I liked but when pulling off the paper seal there was bunch of glue and paper still stuck to it.
The process of peeling open all the paints was extremely satisfying and was by far my favourite part of setting this up. The seals are very easy to open and came off seamlessly most of the time. I had a couple I struggled with but it’s to be expected.
The paints are extremely vibrant and opaque. They are thicker than a snicker a lot of fun to paint with. This was my first time using gouache and I was very impressed. The paints are very easy to build up or sheer out if needed. I found when I didn’t use enough water it would skip but after a couple trial and errors I got the hang of it and how to manipulate it in order to get a smoother application.
The only minor thing that I faced was when I opened the container back up some paints would stick to the lid and would drop back down into a different paint. I expected nothing less considering the consistency so I just have to be mindful when opening the container. Other than that, this set is honestly amazing, and it’s well worth the money. I know I will get alot of use out of it. I’m happy to have it apart of my collection. It would also be a perfect gift.

This is a hefty set of paints! I read the description and yet I didn’t expect this paint set to have the weight and size that it does. Not the most portable set of portable paints, but you can certainly take it with you. There is a decent amount of each colour - peeling off the lids to each one feels very much like taking the foil seal off a chocolate pudding cup... and the consistency of the paint is very much also like chocolate pudding. It’s bouncy. I’ve always thought of gouache as the lovechild of acrylic and water colour paint. This is almost like the brands I have used in the past, however, it doesn’t allow you to layer lights on darks as much as other gouache paints. This pigment is very easily reactivated with water once it dries on the paper, making it a little tricky to attempt any layering like the acrylic-ish side of the paint should allow for. It is difficult to use in it’s original, non-diluted state. For smooth application, you must use a wet brush and mix a little bit of water into the paint. It’s very easy to dilute and stretch from there. I did find that some colours appeared a bit grainy when they are diluted. I’m not sure if this will go away with a thorough mixing before using. While the case has a lid, I don’t know that the foam seal will keep the paint fresh as long as a screw on lid does for a tube of paint. That being said, the design of the case, with individual cups of paint, is interesting and makes it easy to keep organized and rearrange your colours at will... or replace one of the colours if you run out (though I haven’t been able to find where to purchase individual cups). You really do need a nice, thick, water colour paper to use these paints with - I didn’t have the proper paper so you can see my page has wrinkled. This can be avoided by wetting the paper and stretching it/taping to down before you paint. All in all, this is an interesting set. Would make a great gift for someone who loves to create but might be new to this type of paint. It isn’t the highest quality gouache... but it also isn’t the lowest. There is plenty of pigment to experiment with and the novel format of the storage system and packaging makes it a little extra fun to use.

Bought this for my wife as she loves painting and she needs paint to often. As you can see there is wide variety of colours in a set and it comes with a pallet. Colours are packed in a nice durable sectional box.
She made wall art with this paints.( see above photos.

La palette de couleurs est vraiment intéressante. Beaucoup d'heures de création en vue.
La consistance de la gouache est parfaite, assez épaisse et elle s'applique très bien.
Les pots sont assez difficiles à ouvrir par contre, un enfant pourrait avoir de la difficulté à le faire sans dégâts...
Le couvercle se ferme mal, les clips s'ouvrent toutes seules, se qui petite occasionner un méchant dégât ! Toujours supporter la boîte avec une main en dessous lors du transport.

I love watercolors, and I use gouache for when I want to add bold pops of color to my paintings, that you just cannot get with watercolor alone. That being said, this is a huge amount of gouache paint… it is a really good variety of color, and using a bit and mixing it with water goes a long long way… I have some professional gouaches, which I don't want to waste doing very large backgrounds, but this set has ample amounts of paint and a really good assort...

I was really excited to receive the Miya Himi Gouache Paint Set with the sealed jelly cups and I was not disappointed. The paints come in a sturdy carrying case with a handy palette built into the lid. Inside the case, you get 50 sealed jelly washes in their own individual cups, 36 of which contain 30ml of paint and 14 of which contain 60ml of paint. To compare, most tube gouaches give you only 12 - 15 ml of paint, so you are getting a lot of paint in this set. Each of the cu... More
