Great Value
June 27, 2017
Love these. If you buy much acrylic paint, a great value. Now, they may not be professional grade, but if you are tired of paying massive prices for teeny-tiny tubes that last until halfway through your painting, these are for you. Ditto for if you kick yourself for squeezing way too much out on your palette.
Great for painting ceiling tiles!
May 23, 2017
I use these for my students to paint onto ceiling tiles in my classroom. They work great-- liquid enough to pour easily and cover well. They are not translucent like washable tempera and they don't crack. They look great!
I use a lot of paint and these are great! It comes with two different reds
April 9, 2017
I use a lot of paint and these are great! It comes with two different reds, one is a pink red and the other is more of an actual red. Great quality for the price!
MUST HAVE'S
January 3, 2017
I could not believe the quality of these paints!!!! They are just as good as the highest quality paints I've ever used! Ive been painting for 30+ years and these colors blend well and I can thicken them well to use like oils!!!! These are a MUST PURCHASE!!!
craft paints

Great acrylic paints (and free cat bed)
July 24, 2016
These acrylic paints are great. They are smooth and creamy, blend wonderfully, and have great coverage. No complaints about the actual paint themselves. Only complaint is the seals on 2 of the paints were broken and the paint leaked a little during shipping. It was double boxed with air bags so I'm not sure if it was from our 100+ degree heat or being handled rough during packaging/ shipping.Also, I was glad that with my $52 purchase of these paints, that I also got a free cat bed.I've added several pictures for paint color, bottle size and brand, canvas showing coverage, and so you can see how the paints are sealed and boxed.

Perfect for crafts!
July 15, 2017
This is great for doing faux stain glass or any craft for that matter. You can add some glaze to it and thin it out and make the color more transparent. Doing this makes the paint go 10 times as far. You can also bake it on for a permanent finish! Awesome!
I loved these paints.
June 12, 2017
I loved these paints. Not one was dried up or lumpy. None of the lids were loose. Guess I got lucky. LOL Colors are wonderful. I will re order when I need to.

I love these acrylic paint they go along way for the little bottle that you get. Vibrant colors easy to apply the only thing is going to play it to wood without primary. I will definitely be buying the other colors that they have available.
Not Clumpy or Dried!
November 30, 2016
After reading some of the reviews for this product I just have to comment on it. My paints came in and were not clumpy or dried nor were the caps "slightly" opened. The paints were sealed as pictured with no issues. They worked wonderfully! These are by far the best craft paints I have purchased in years.

Worked well for my first project. Just beginning to paint so wanted some paint that didn't cost an arm and a leg but have enough body to paint with. Great buy. Happy painting.

Great entry level/beginner paint!
March 12, 2016
Hard to beat the price! The paint REALLY needs to be shaken before you open it otherwise it is a inconsistent thickness and opacity. But no matter what it is thick, and if you do not spread it out evenly on the canvas it will crack. You will have plenty of paint if you have a small class to share it with. If you add water to thin the paint it seems to lay more evenly. It is a fine paint for beginner painting and is fine for learning with. The colors blend well and pop on the canvas. It's a basic acrylic paint! What you see is what you get. For practice and repetition, learning brush skills, this is a no brainer. I will buy this paint again for craft parties and small classes where I'm supplying the paint for everyone.
Great for large group activites.
December 19, 2013
No you can't recreate the mona lisa with this. The colors mix well, not too runny not too thick. Doesn't hold up in the long run so if you're looking for that you need to jump up to the 100 dollar paints.

good selection
For the most part I'm satisfied with these paints
August 14, 2016
For the most part I'm satisfied with these paints. However, as some other people have noted, there were two that were partially ajar, and got a little dried out. Not a big deal as they are water soluble, but it does make it difficult to get a small amount out of the bottle at a time. I was also very lucky they didn't open in transit. I could definitely do without so many reds/pinks.
Pretty good.
June 18, 2015
These were mostly as described. The white appears to have been watered down as it's consistency was considerably more runny than all the other paints. I also noticed Michaels wasn't carrying this brand any longer and wondered if quality was the reason why. I purchased some Liquitex Basics paints from them and have been very pleased with their quality for the price (they often have 2 for 1 or 50% off sales).
Very good, except the White
May 21, 2014
All the colors I've tried so far have the expected thickness, except the white which is very runny. Even the extra white I ordered was runny. Very hard to load the brush when the paint is that thin.

Thin but work
July 12, 2017
Thin paint but gets the job done. The yellow and white need numerous coats to show up on top of other colors
Tacky Consistency
June 5, 2017
These are okay acrylics for crafts and student/hobby use. All colors were vibrant and rich except for the Yellow (Chrome Yellow) which was nearly transparent. They mixed well and I was able to create a very nice range. I'd love to give these paints five stars but the problem is the tacky consistency. I suppose it's some filler used in these. Tacky like glue, straight from the bottle even when mixed with some water or acrylic medium. When mixed with acrylic gloss medium they turned from tacky to chalky and dried before I could get the brush from my pallet to canvas.
Not for True Artist Use- Great for Schools, Kids, etc.
May 15, 2017
I teach paint nights and thought this was a great deal... which don't get me wrong it is. HOWEVER, this particular acrylic paint is probably more suitable for kids, children's projects not for actual artist's use. I say that only because the pigment is not very dark, so multiple layers were needed, and then it wouldn't dry fast enough to layer the painting properly... NOT good for a paint party. Again, excellent for kids, schools, day cares, etc... but not good for true artist use.
Okay paint - good color and spread, but cracks once dried.
January 19, 2017
Certainly worth the money spent. I bought these for an event with several people. 10 of the 12 bottles exploded upon opening for the first time... after the first few, I finally got the hang of opening it with certain napkins, etc. present so it wouldn't get all over everything. That was frustrating. The colors are pretty and spread nicely on a canvas. But once the paint dried, it cracked a LOT. Especially where it was thickly painted. I haven't had this same problem w/ other acrylics. So I would say it's great for kids projects and/or practice, etc., but just know that it may crack once dried.
The price is really good for the amount of paint that you receive
October 26, 2016
The price is really good for the amount of paint that you receive. There are only 12 colors but you can obviously mix them to get many more. The pain seems decent quality, especially for the price. Unfortunately, the bottles seem rather cheap and the white top was completely off the bottle with white paint everywhere. Most of the other colors had tops that were cracked on top so the paint would come out from the sides of the cap. The paint is still useable, but I am going to order tubes next time.
Decent value for the money
August 4, 2015
This is a decent quality student paint. It is a good value for the money; however, if you are looking for a really saturated color, this is not the product for you.

Not a good product
July 14, 2013
I purchased this item, with the intention of using it on plastic model figures, for my train layout. It's awful! Extremely watery. Really doesn't work! You'll need to go over the same area 2-3 times. If you want a quality product, purchase Testors.After using some of the other bottles, i decided to upgrade my rating to 3 stars. Problem is, some of the paints are watery, and others are extremely thick.

Lighter paint coats over dark paints require many coats. Will have to buy another paint now. Maybe good for kids though.

Too thin and transparent for canvases painting. Probably designed for something else. Although affordable, won't be purchasing again. Makes my artwork crackle. What could have been a great work of art, became poor quality bc of the paint quality.

Not so great. They are very watery and it takes more than one coat to cover. I use another acrylic and it covers in one coat and dries fast. This also takes quite a bit longer to dry.

Pretty disappointed in this products packaging. Ordered for Christmas and they look like they are about 20 years old and have been rolling around in the back of some truck for years. Hope the paint is actually decent.
poor quality.
August 5, 2015
Poor quality. White was very runny. Others very thick. Definitely not up to Amazon standard. I am sure these paints are old.
dull finish
January 9, 2015
Nice variety of colors; delivery time excellent and packaging. This is product is not acrylic paint as I have used in the past. This is more like 'tempura' paint. It dries dull and chalky, rather than a shine when dry like most acrylic. Will use but will have to use a 'finishing' coat for projects.

Dried crackly and looked like dried marshmallow

Awful. Dried crackly and looked like dried marshmallow.
We painted six 36"x48" canvases on sturdy frames. All of the paints cracked on drying
March 25, 2017
We bought these paints for a huge art project at home with the kids. We painted six 36"x48" canvases on sturdy frames. All of the paints cracked on drying. Also, two of my sons painted their cub scout pinewood derby cars with them and the paint on them cracked as well. I'm not an expert in paint so the mechanism of this cracking escapes me.....the consistency does not! All painted projects were kept indoors in the house the entire time.

The paints arrived with broken caps on several bottles so the paint leaked all over inside the box. The broken caps will not close now so I will have to transfer the paint to different containers.
Don't waste your money!
September 2, 2016
I bought these for my beginning acrylics painting classes, thinking they were really nice colors and would suit our purposes well. How wrong could I be? They do not allow for any true blending when applied even wet on top of wet, and even worse, if you painted one color on top of an already dried color to layer (such as clouds in the sky, that sort of thing) the new layer literally lifts the old one off the canvas! My entire class was a shambles and I will NEVER recommend this product for any purpose.

Most bottles had smashed or broken lids which allowed paint to spill out and be unable to close bottles to prevent the paint from drying out.
Watery
November 21, 2015
Read the reviews and still couldn't decide whether these would work for painting pumpkins. They do not. These paints are a watery mess. I can't imagine what project they would be good for other than toddlers painting on construction paper. Don't waste your $$.

One was opened and many were dried out. Probably better to buy somewhere that has a frequent turnaround on product.
stay clear

A few bottles came damaged
I don't think I can trust you again. So I might never buy from you again. Definetly not the way to do business.
November 14, 2013
I bought NEW paints, you sent me USED paints. They were lumping and drying. This is not the way to do business
Dried up
October 19, 2013
About three of the lids were loose enough that the paint leaked out of the bottles. Just about all of the colors I've used, probably half are dried up enough that I've had to add water. The only reason I didn't send them back is because I could add water and make them work. I don't know if this was the exception to the normal for this product but I will never buy it again .
