Niji Artist Gouache Unboxing and Review

This was a much anticipated review and so I hope it lived up to everyone's expectation! In short, I think these are a great alternative option to the Jelly Gouache Cups on the market, and also if you can't get ahold of the Arteza Gouache Tubes! For the way I use gouache, which is mostly in my studio on my desk, these are a great option. They say artist gouache, but I couldn't find any pigment info or lightfast info, so I'd say that they are safe for sketchbook work and work you plan to scan. Out of the "tubes" they are a wonderful consistency and have decent opacity - I'd compare that to DaVinci but not as good as Shinhan or Holbein. The dried versions were very crumbly, which wasn't a big deal in my ceramic palette but would be a big deal if I tried to dry them down for on the go gouache painting. They didn't have trouble rewetting and worked pretty well with not much effort. I really wish there was a pink in this set and outlined the colors I'd like to see adjusted for this to be a perfect set of 12. Overall, I really like these as a budget-friendly gouache option and would definitely consider them depending on your needs for gouache!
