Holbein Artists' Gouache 5mL, Set of 5 Primary Colors
Introducing Holbein Artists' Gouache, a professional-grade, opaque matte gouache from Japan that is made from finely ground pigments, ensuring high saturation and lightfastness. The naturally opaque pigments create vibrant, exciting colors without the addition of opaquing agents, resulting in consistent, reliable results without "milking out" or darkening.
Holbein Designer Gouache is perfect for use in fine art as an opaque watercolor, adding "spot color" and highlights to transparent watercolor paintings, experimenting on dark-colored surfaces, and bringing out intense details. The luxurious matte finish of these paints will not darken, bleed, or crack, and the paint film will remain workable when wet.
This set includes 5 5mL tubes in the following colors: Primary Magenta, Primary Yellow, Primary Cyan, Primary Black, and Primary White.

Great Quality
I'm new to gouache so not entirely sure what makes for a good product, but one thing I've noticed with this one is the superior brightness of the pigments. Each color is extremely vibrant and vivid. The paints also have a nice even coverage. I use these for dip-pen calligraphy and love the versatility this set offers, in terms of essentially being able to mix any color. It covers nibs well when applied with a brush and has a nice even flow coming off the tip when the nib hits the page. No blotting or bleeding on the usual calligraphy paper I use, either, which is definitely nice. The only critique I have is that these are so pricey for the quantity. I know this is a coveted brand, but would be nicer to see them a bit more accessible.
