First off I want to say I am really liking these acrylic paints.
They are very smooth and blend well together. The tubes were fairly easy to open with the point from the lid, although I did have a few spurt out once the tube got punctured - so keep this in mind when opening them to avoid unnecessary mess.
Included with the set are 12 colors
- Titanium White
- Lemon Yellow
- Yellow Ochre
- Vermilion
- Crimson Red
- Hooker's Green
- Lamp Black
- Raw Umber
- Burnt Sienna
- Cobalt Blue
- Ultramarine Blue
- Viridian
I wouldn't recommend using these in a area that isn't ventilated well. They do have a chemical smell-- not too strong -- just a little bit. I wouldn't want anyone to get high using these (who knows what your painting might turn out to be :P)
Here is an example of a painting that I made with these paints and a blending gel from folk art. This is just on card stock and I am anxious to give them a whirl on canvas.
These have been very easy to use and the colors clean off the brushes very nicely. The paint is water soluable when wet - which is a big plus!!
I would highly recommend these paints to all beginner artists.
Con -- The odor -- so just use in a well ventilated area.
