I formerly painted with oils but needed to find a less noxious, less cost-prohibitive paint I could actually use at home rather than just in a well-ventilated studio with proper resources for toxics disposal. I dislike the sheerness of acrylic paint and the soppiness of watercolors. Gouache is a great alternative. These tubes are small, not for large-scale work like I use to do, but I don't have room for that these days, anyhow. The pigment is concentrated, and really opaque and true to tone. You can thin the pigment down with water and you don't get any of that sheen and unevenness that drives me nuts about acrylic paint. Don't bother purchasing a huge set with a ton of colors--you can mix any hue you'd like with this set.
Shipping was fast, considering it was coming to the West Coast of the US from the UK. Highly recommended.
