Winsor & Newton14ml Designers Gouache Tube - Rose Tyrien

Not sealed other than the cap. Result - as soon as you unscrew the cap the paint oozes out and is wasted. If it was sealed (like milk cartons and other watercolour brands), you could pierce a small hole and thus control the flow better.

I love the color and the texture

What a cracking colour. I've used the large mixed set of W&N for a couple of years now, just making the occasional addition. Having struggled to get vibrant pinks or purples I decided to try this.Really, really vivid straight out of the tube and brilliant when mixing brighter colours such as oranges and purples. Also makes a very good 'black substitute when mixed with a dark green.Good flow and opacity. Solid addition to the set.

Good quality product.

Was deciding between opera pink or bengal rose. Glad I chose the bengal, watered down it provides the same intensity as an opera pink, used saturated it has a vibrancy that lifts any painting.

W&N have always been the best to use. I have an old tube that I have not used for 20 years and when I opened it, it was as good as new. Just needed more white pain and W&N of course.

Better than the white gouache, however, still very difficult to get it to an opaque consistency. Side by side with my watercolour black, not that much of a difference. I expected it to be more opaque.On the picture the middle one is watercolour, the others are this gouache. It’s ok. But I’m sure a better one exists. This is my first experience with gouache.
