Review: High quality and great value for money for this professional grade paint. - A wonderful acrylic gouache for professional use, their lightfastness rates beat other brands, this is an important aspect to consider if you sell your work. Consistent opacity throughout all colors, beautiful matte finish and also highly pigmented. The colors in this set are ideal and you can mix pretty much any color from it and then decide which ones to buy in a larger bottle. Good value for money especially for a professional grade paint. Use them with a wet palette as you would with traditional acrylic paint so that they don’t dry too quickly.
Review: "ANOTHER FABULOUS AWESOME ART BOOK, BY KAREN CAMPBELL" - Another one of Karen Campbell's fabulous how to Art Books.

## Features

- OPACITY – Acrylic Gouache pushes opacity to its limits. Each color is individually developed to create the optimum opacity possible for its pigment type, through a very careful balance of pigment, the amounts used, and particle size distribution.
- FLAT & MATTE – Our gouache gives you solid matte color without reflections or brush strokes. Because it doesn’t reflect the light, it’s perfect for scanning and mixing with digital effects – making it ideal for illustration and design work.
- WATER-RESISTANT – Get a new level of permanence and water-resistance not normally seen in a gouache. Because it’s acrylic, our gouache dries quickly and doesn’t move once dry. You can overpaint without bleeding and achieve velvety surface effects.
- FLUIDITY WITHOUT WATER - Traditional gouaches need water to ease their way. Our acrylic gouache gives you a creamy, fluid texture with superb brushout, straight from the bottle. Application feels effortless and flowing, with no drag.
- THE PERFECT BOTTLE – Easy-open and close lid, a pre-cut nozzle for immediate use, screw-off top and wide neck for easier access, and no shoulders or corners for paint to get trapped in.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the lightfastness rating of these paints? Can I mix them with other acrylic paints, like soft body acrylics?**
A: The lightfastness varies from color to color, but they are generally within ASTM I-II, Excellent and Very Good Lightfastness. You could mix them with other paints, but that will take away from the matte finish.

**Q: Can this be used on wood?**
A: I use gessobord for my paintings. Essentially the same thing as wood substrates. Plus, acrylic paints generally do well on wood.

**Q: Is this the 12 set? The description says six set but i pushed on the 12 essentials set?**
A: The product photo displayed by Amazon reflects it is the 12 piece set. I purchased the six piece set, the SKU for which is 3699323, a different set identified by means of the difference in SKU. I hope this helps.

**Q: Is this truly gouache or a "matte" acrylic? How does it compare to holbein acrylic gouache?**
A: It truly is. Quite honestly, I have used both Holbein and Golden matte acrylics and out of all three, Liquitex has a much better consistency, fluidity, longer working time, and a beautiful velvet matte texture.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good paint set.
*by T***A on March 21, 2024*

Love these paints! All bottles except one were sealed perfectly. The one that was slightly open though did not leak or dry out. The texture is soooo smooth and colors vibrant! A little goes a long way. They dry matte and do not change color like regular acrylics which usually dry darker. I still varnish with gloss but that’s just my preference. I bought them to try for the strong pigments and creamy texture. If you want to try acrylic gouache or you like acrylics in general I’d highly recommend. I also bought the turner set previously. Between the two I actually prefer these to Turners. But both are great.
