Review: Great Paints! Professional Use - I was recommended these acrylic paints by a few other Artists. As a professional illustrator, these paints are perfect and the blendability and range of colours you get in this pack is great. Like many other Artists I use these like watercolour to build up colour washes and glazes of thinned colour and these paints are exceptional for this. Also these paints mix very well with each other and you can create other shades of colour easily. The tubes are small, but if you are using them like watercolour and also un thinned they should last, although you can buy larger tubes separately if you get a few favourite colours, I can sense that I'll be using the Neutral grey 5 more as I can grey tone stuff with that paint and also light portrait pink which gives a nice mid tone colour for skin. This is a great paint set and one that I would recommend
Review: Love these paints - After using some cheaper quality paints I was pleasantly surprised by this brand. I'm a beginner painter and these are perfect for me. The paint is a lot nicer than cheaper brands and seem to be on a similar level to other popular brands such as Windsor and Newton (which I have also used and like a lot). I bought the box of 48 and the choice of colours is beautiful. I would definitely recommend these paints.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you use these on shoes/clothing/fabrics?**
A: I have no idea! Sorry.  I got them for modelling!

**Q: Can you use these on skin?**
A: These paints are not for use on skin, please use a body paint.

**Q: Can these be used on glass**
A: I think these are good for glass, there are special colors for glass those are resistant, these would wash off.

**Q: Are these paints waterproof? If I paint on to glass, can I cure it in the oven and it be water resistant?**
A: Hi! Yes these paints are waterproof and provided they are cured properly they are safe to paint on smooth surfaces such as glass or ceramics etc. I would maybe avoid the dishwasher though, just in case.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No fuss, bright paints
*by G***G on 19 May 2020*

The colours are beautiful and bright, very accurate to more expensive pigments. They go onto surfaces well and layer wonderfully. Some of the colours (yellows and reds mostly) are very transparent despite claiming to be 'opaque', but this is a common thing with Acrylic paints. I'm using these for practice and personal works, a very good introduction to acrylic paints.
