These colors are SO beautiful and rich. I mix all of them and use a ton of the white, so also a good idea to buy the single, larger tube of that. Can't say enough about the quality of these, I will DEFINITELY buy again.

These paints are student grade and very nice for someone who isn't looking to spend a ton of money for professional grade paints. The colors are good. I think it is better to get a set with basic colors in bigger tubes, than to get a set with tons of tiny tubes.To quote Picasso: "They'll sell you thousands of greens. ... emerald green and cadmium green and any sort of green you like; but that particular green, never."You will probably find that you end up mixing your own color no matter what, and with one of those 32 color sets you will probably mostly rely on 7 colors, so it is better to have more of those basics.

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.

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.

High quality bright colors. I bought this set for may 2-D university art class and I can see the quality difference between the paint sold by the university store and this one.

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

A friend of mine loves to paint. I got her these paints for her birthday. She was very pleased with them. The tubes are fairly small but there is a good assortment of colors.

I use this paint everyday. I love how it blends,how bright it is and how it smooths on the canvas. i mix it with water and drying retardant and that buys me double the working time and also helps it apply smooth. The best acrylic is Golden Open Acrylics because they paint exactly like oil, but these are my second choice, I just wish I didn't have to mix colors that would be my only complaint.

Darn Good Deal on this Top of the line galeria paints. I remember when the winsor newton rep made a presentation to us back in college our last week of art class. I am excited about exploring and creating with these basic colors
