Arteza Gouache Metallic & 60 Color Set Review
I have been using the 24 color set of Arteza gouache for a year and loving it. Let's see who the 60 color set and metallic color set compare!
Product overview: Arteza gouache is an affordable student grade gouache available is sets of 12, 24 and 60. FYI Affiliate links are used in this review.
These can be purchased on Amazon: amzn.to/2UWdlui
Or directly from the Arteza Website: shrsl.com/1fytz *use coupon code FRUGAL10 to get 10% off your order on the arteza website only.
*I recommend price checking both places
Pros:
Price
Pigment information and lightfast ratings on each color.
Smooth opaque colors
Saturated colors mix cleanly
Color selection is nice
No issues with cracking or adhesion
Worked well as a layer in mixed media
Perfect velvet matte finish
Cons:
No open stock colors
I didn't realize that the 60 color set contained the metallic colors so I didn't need both. Also the 24 colors are in there two so if you were thinking about getting the 24 set and the metallic ones you will get 24 extra colors if you get the 60 set instead for about the same price.
Gouache 60 color set on Arteza $49.99 shrsl.com/1fyvx (also use 10% off coupon FRUGAL10)
60 color set on Amazon for $63.80 + $4.99 shiping: amzn.to/2Ib9qIj
Let's looks at the 12 set of metallic colors. Amazon $23.99 amzn.to/2GlDfnZ or Arteza website $25.98 shrsl.com/1fyvk These colors are very opaque with a subtle pearl sheen. The color does not change when tipped towards or away from the light as metallic watercolors do so you can be sure your artwork will look the same no mater what angle it is viewed from or if it is behind glass. These colors are also true on light or dark paper so no surprises. They are great for rescuing a failed watercolor too! The downside is you don't get the flashy shimmer like you do with metallic watercolors like the Paul Rubens metallic watercolors I compared in the video. amzn.to/2BzmZLZ
Bottom line: I have been using the original 24 set for a year and love it, It is very slow wearing so it really goes a long way. I hope they eventually come out with open stock colors so I can purchase larger tubes of the ones I run out of but since they give 2 whites in the sets it should keep me a while and I can always but that color from another brand and it will work fine. You can search arteza gouache on my KZfaq channel and see these paints in action if you like. I can't recommend them highly enough for the price and quality.

i bought the 24 set and put honey in the paint to keep it from cracking. It also made it easier to rewet.

Hello, I know this was three years ago but I thought I'd ask how it was going after all this time. I was wanting to put some of my Arteza gouache in a custom pallette and wanted some info on how well they rewet. Honey is a great idea but I'd like to know how it reacted to the gouache as I've only ever used it in watercolor.

And just recently the set of 60 went on a lightning deal for $30, so we went ahead and got it on the grounds I don't actually get it till my bday in November. The wait is going to be killer! LOL.

I agree soooo much about the gouache being a better watercolor than the watercolor. After a long time of refusing to buy anything Arteza, because there just happens to be something about this company that I do not fully like or trust, I saw both the gouache and the watercolor on sale. First I found the 24 set of gouache for 12Euros, so I figured that this is my chance to try it out without regretting it too much afterwards if I don't like it. I tried it, and I must say that I was/am quite happy with it. Obviously there are much better gouches out there, but for this price (the regular price here is 19 Euros for 24 and 44 Euros for 60) I don't think that you'll have an easy time finding something truly better. So after I had this good experience with their gouache, I figured I should also finally give their watercolors a try, and when I saw them on sale for 19 Euros for the tin of 36, I went ahead and got them and I was not really impressed. I would never call them bad paints, because they are not, I have already had quite a bit of fun with them and I think that they are wonderful for mixed media and pretty good for illustrations, but I surely would never recommend them to anyone looking for regular watercolors. Yes, the gouache is more watercolor-ish than the watercolors, for sure. At the same time, the watercolors remind me a bit of watered down gouache, which is why I think they are a nice choice for illustrations. I find that using the gouache and the watercolors together is really good, too, they work great together, and this is how I am going to be using them, since I have them both. But if I had to make a buying choice again, with the knowledge that I have now, I would definitely only get the gouache. I know that I will rebuy the gouche, I might even go ahead and get the metallic set or the box of 60, but even though I do not regret getting the watercolors (I mean, come on, for 19 Euros they were a steal) I would not choose to buy them again because they simply cannot do anything that the gouache can't.

And about a week after I purchased it it had gone down even more to $40 with a $10 off coupon. And it was available with prime shipping at that time.

Thank you Lindsay. I really enjoy your reviews and painting videos. I've been using the 24 set for a bit now and really enjoy them. I have some WN gouache as well and find some of the color comparable, especially if I'm working on a piece I know I'm going to scan. The opacity is really good in this brand. I'm so so curious about how/who makes their paint formulations/manufacturing. Very interesting. Agree with you, not a huge fan of the watercolors. It's hard for me to compare them to my beloved MGraham. But, I really think the gouache is nice and the watercolors are even good for papercrafting projects. Hadn't tried their paper line yet and I see they have new sketchbooks. Interesting! Thank you for sharing. I so enjoy your work.

hellanistpunk I’ve tried this a couple times for some mistakes, and it works well since it won’t mess with the color scheme of your piece. It is important to note that gouache and watercolor have a different sheen, so at certain angles you can see the matte gouache stand out against the less-matte watercolor areas. If the gouache is minimal you might not notice though 😊

@thefrugalcrafter 4 жыл бұрын

No, it's not misleading. The turned acrylic gouache (or any a acrylic gouache) is simply a matte acrylic paint do you cang rework it when dry. Regular gouache like arteza (also called designers gouache) is simply an opaque watercolor. You can reset it after it is dry and rework ig or use dried paint on your palette as it dosnt go to waste like acrylic gouache would. Both have their uses.

Since gouache crumbles so much when squeezed out, is it okay to use from the tube or does that dry the tube out, as well? I had one set of gouache and dropped them. They shattered and mixed into such tiny particles, I threw them away. I thought I entered this comment today but didn't. Maybe someone watching can answer my question.

@ariweaver1543 5 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but the most common way I see gouache used is by squirting small amounts fresh from the tube onto a mixing surface, recapping the tubes, and then continuing to add more fresh to the mixing surface when the painter runs out. I'm pretty new to gouache personally, so I can't speak with significant personal authority, but this is the technique I've been using, due to its prevalence, and it's been working for me, so far. Best of luck to you! :)

@@cassiescreations9828 Ah, but M Graham is somewhat unique in the water-based paint world. They use a significant quantity of honey in their watercolors and gouache, which keeps their paints consistently much more moist than other brands. This can be a great thing, but it means your experiences with M Graham are going to be fairly unique, whether or not that works for you. ^^

Arteza got sneaky. I wanted to try gouache and just received the 60 set (30 dollar sale) and there are only 6 metallic colors from their 12 set. There is still 12 metallics but you would have to buy the official 12 metallic set to get an extra 6 or the larger 36 set to get them all.

I'm a relatively new subscriber to your channel. This tutorial was really helpful to me, but as newbie as this sounds could you please tell me what the GSM weight means. I did not understand it much when you talked a bit about it. So how would I be able to tell if it's good paper or not.

@@cherryshrimp4120 Yes it does, 150 GSM as Lyndsey was showing is about the thickness of 2 pieces of cheap copy paper stuck together. A lot of watercolour paper is 300gsm which is cardstock thickness. Hope that helps.

@Cherry Shrimp No, the weight of paper is just one of several factors and quality also depends on what you expect from your paper and what you plan to use it for. A Paper that will damage nearly all brush pens because of its surface is probably perfect for pastels or pencils, maybe even for watercolor. There is a bit more to paper and it's quality. You need to know what you expect from your paper and then go and look up the factors that are important for this and what happens if one of it changes. (paper material, size, surface texture/smoothness, thickness, waterresistant or not, hot or cold pressed....) A heavier paper is not necessarily thicker, that is a fallacy. It depends on a few factors i.e. the type of paper you have - is it made out of wood or out of cotton - these materials have different weights and a cotton paper will be thinner but not have less quality. My 60gsm paper is thicker than my 80gsm paper, that I use for lettering. For watercolor paper you can use the gsm to get a good guess in what range this paper might be, in terms of thickness, a 200gsm paper will be thinner as one with 450gsm. But 250gsm vs 300gsm could be nearly no difference in thickness, but has an effect of how much water it can take etc.

Tammy Reese hi 😊 here's the definition from Wikipedia The term, derived from the Italian guazzo, also refers to paintings using this opaque method. "Guazzo", Italian for "mud", was originally a term applied to the early 16th century practice of applying oil paint over a tempera base,[5] which could give a matted effect. In the 18th century in France, It's often called Tempera which for me is kinda wrong as real Tempera is made with egg yolk, Hope I helped 😊

how does adding glycerin or honey affect the permanence of the paint?

@thefrugalcrafter 3 жыл бұрын

It shouldn't unless you added so much if thinned the paint a lot. A thinner wash of color is less permanent than a mass tone application. I would recommend m Graham or achminke gouache with high lightfast ratings is permanence is a concern over a budget brand tho.
