HIMI Gouache Paint Set (24 Colors)

What the HIMI Gouache Paint Set (24 Colors) is

Key features, explained

Based on the manufacturer's Amazon listing.

• 24 colors in 1 oz jelly cups

  Each color comes in a 1 oz cup. The listing says the colors mix well, so you can extend the range with your own blends.

• Opaque with a matte finish

  Gouache covers what is under it, so you can fix mistakes and paint light details over darker areas. It dries flat and matte rather than glossy.

• Rewets with water

  HIMI says the paint can be rewet and reworked with water when it dries. Dried paint on the palette can be brought back to life for the next session.

• Sealed cups keep paint fresh

  The jelly cup design has a sealing lid that keeps the gouache wet and creamy between uses.

• Palette, 3 brushes and a carry case

  The palette, 3 brushes and 24 cups come in one portable case, which HIMI pitches for indoor, outdoor and travel painting.

• ASTM D-4236 and EN71

  HIMI states the paint conforms to ASTM D-4236 and EN71, describes it as non-toxic, and says it is safe for all ages from kids to adults.

Before you buy

• Paint on watercolor paper or canvas. Thin paper will buckle when the paint is wet.
• Use a small brush or palette knife to lift paint out of the cups, since you cannot squeeze them like tubes.
• Close each lid firmly after painting so the gouache stays creamy.
• Dried paint on the palette can be rewet with water, so there is no need to wash it away.

Frequently asked questions about the HIMI Gouache Paint Set (24 Colors)

How do you use HIMI gouache paint?

Lift a little paint from the cup with a damp brush, mix it on the palette with a small amount of water and paint. Use less water for opaque coverage and more for thinner layers.

What is gouache paint?

Gouache is an opaque, water-based paint that dries matte. Unlike transparent watercolor, it covers what is underneath, so you can paint light over dark.

How does gouache paint work?

It behaves like a thick, opaque watercolor. It can be layered, and HIMI says it can be rewet and reworked with water after it dries.

What do you paint on with gouache?

HIMI recommends watercolor paper and canvas. Heavier paper handles wet paint without buckling.

Can I rewet dried HIMI gouache?

Yes. HIMI says the paint can be rewet and reworked with water when it dries.

Is HIMI gouache safe for kids?

HIMI states the paint conforms to ASTM D-4236 and EN71, describes it as non-toxic, and says it is safe for all ages from kids to adults.
