- 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 TH-cam 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.
i love that you are always 100% honest in your reviews. I never know about other reveiwers and usually your opinion is the only one i completley trust..
I really love the Arteza gouache. My mom surprised me with the set of 24 for Christmas last year when I didn't even tell her I wanted it in the first place. 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.
Thanks Lindsay for your honest and unbiased product reviews. You're always spot on and have helped me to make informed buying decisions.
Thank you so much for explaining about these paints. Can’t wait for my order to arrive. I’ll be watching tomorrow when your other video is released.❤️👍🏼
I always love your reviews and swatches are especially helpful!
Thank you for this review! I love all of the products I have purchased from Arteza so far. I have been wondering about the gouache for a while. I definitely would want the metallics, so the 60 set is probably my best bet. Some of those colors are gorgeous. And those food illustrations....so beautiful!!! I think I need to paint some food. 😊 Thanks again. I love your reviews!!
Thank you very much for your very though review. We can always rely on your honesty! I have the 24 set of the gouache and like using it!
i have been wanting some gouache and was on the fence about these. You have helped me make up my mind, thanks.
WOOHOO. You said the gsm and I did the conversion immediately in my head. Like knowing a foreign language. Keep talking Lindsay, it's sinking in! 👍💙💙😁
Waauw, adding glycerine to the containers to sort of glew them together: WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA !!! Thank you so much for all your brilliant ideas in all your videos !!!! Lots of greetings from the Netherlands ;-)
I would love to explore gouache, cos I think it is a beautiful medium to work with and this review it's great. Thanks, Lindsay ❤️
I just ordered this set because of your wonderful information. If my hubby is upset I'm blaming you. Haaaahaaa!!!!! This set is on Amazon US right now with a $10 off coupon making the set a killer deal at $39.99. You honestly make my day every time I see that you have done a new review or tutorial. Thanks so much.
Thank you for this !!!!!!! I’ve been waiting for an in-depth review on these 💜💜💜
Hi Lindsay. Greetings from the UK and many thanks for yet another wonderful video. I have been contemplating Arteza gouache paint (Heavens above, not MORE colour pleads my poor long suffering OH!!) and am most grateful for your help in my decision making. The time, trouble and professionalism you bring to your channel and your review-honesty is very much appreciated and, when you say "Buy", I know I can do so with full confidence in the product. You should be declared a world-wide treasure young lady! Thank you for everything you do to inspire, encourage and educate....I am truly grateful. With warm regards and very best wishes, Marion in the UK.
They look really good but I really don’t think i need mor art supplies even if I want them 😂
Thanks for your review and flip through of your sketchbook. Your work is incredible!
Lindsay, Thank you so much for doing this review. I have been wanting to try my hand with gwash. And have been considering the Arteza. I am limited with funds but still did not want bad paint either. I have been checking some other reviews on them as well. It seems most everyone seems to like the Arteza gwash. But your opinion when it comes to paint, means a lot. So very happy you did this. You art looked so great by the way. By the way, I bought the Pretty Excellent watercolors after your review. I do like them. They are great for there price. TFS
Thank you for reviewing these!!! I've been getting advertisements for them on Instagram and wondered how good they are. :-)
Thanks for this detailed review. You hit absolutely all the points I wanted to hear about.
