Galeria is Winsor & Newton's popular lower-priced line of acrylic paint (i.e. student-grade as opposed to professional-grade). Their professional grade is called 'Artists' Acrylic'. Galeria are medium viscosity not as thick as high viscosity acrylics or oils, but thicker and more brushstroke retention than craft paints. They dry to a satin finish.

In terms of color, Galeria is one of the best student-grade paints in terms of saturation ('intensity'). The earth colors are especially good in terms of saturation and darkness (i.e. 'richness'). But as can be expected, some colors especially the Cadmium Hues are disappointing in opacity. This 10-color set is reasonably well balanced in terms of mixing ability of the included colors. But the lack of Ultramarine Blue stands out to me though everyone has different opinions about what colors are essential and which aren't.

I don't like the hexagonal caps because they are thin and smooth so they offer very little grip once they get stuck on. But a very nice thing about Galeria is that if you like this set, you can buy the colors individually in much larger sizes (in tubes and plastic squeeze-jars) when you need to replace an empty tube.

Gold is the best far as I'm concerned, but these do alright and aren't watery in the slightest. Their colors go on magnificently and you don't have to keep using layer after layer just to get the desired effects. I'm not a real artist, but this isn't my first time either and I really like these. You really get more than what you pay for if you ask me, considering the large size of the tubes, compared to others I've seen. The tops on the tubes are easy to opened and close, even with messy paint strewn fingers. The paint dries quickly, but not so much that it's difficult to blend colors. I love them and the ten basic colors are my favorite.

Colors;

-Cadmium Yellow Medium Hue

-Cadmium Red Hue

-Crimson

-Winsor Blue

-Yellow Ochre

-Phthalo Green

-Burnt Sienna

-Raw Umber

-Mars Black

-Titanium White

It's hard to go wrong with Winsor & Newton most the time. ;)

Galeria is Winsor & Newton's popular lower-priced line of acrylic paint (i.e. student-grade as opposed to professional-grade). Their professional grade is called 'Artists' Acrylic'. Galeria can be considered medium viscosity...not as thick as high viscosity acrylics (or oil paints for that matter), but thicker and more brushstroke retention than craft paints. They dry to a satin finish about halfway between matte and glossy.

In terms of color, Galeria is among the best student-grade paints in terms of saturation (color intensity)...especially the earth colors. But as can be expected, some colors especially the Cadmium Hues are disappointing in opacity. This is my only major gripe. This 10-color set is reasonably well balanced in terms of mixing ability. But the lack of Ultramarine Blue stands out to me though everyone has different opinions about what colors are essential and which aren't.

I don't like the hexagonal caps because they offer little grip...I often have to use pliers to remove the cap. But a nice thing about Galeria is that if you like this set, you can buy the colors individually in much larger sizes later on (they come in jumbo tubes and plastic squeeze-jars).

Liquitex Basics is a comparable line of low-priced artist paint. I prefer their packaging (tube design), but I was disappointed in a lot of the Basics colors some were surprisingly pale. In my opinion, Galeria is better...worth the slightly higher cost. Grumbacher Academy is a good student-grade acrylic to also consider.

I had not painted in almost a decade and wanted to ease my way back in by starting with an affordable option (just in case I let the hobby slide by the wayside again). These paints are not only affordable, but are of the good quality that one would expect from winsor and newton.

Even so, the set completely exceeded by expectations. The colours are truly vibrant and the selected range was really well thought out. The only colour that I personally love and used to use alot that was missing from this set is cerulean blue but that's just a personal thing. Other than that, I love these pints I'd definitely recommend it to others.

And, btw, product arrived right on schedule as usual.
