“I originally bought the five-tube starter kit of these paints just to try them. I have to say, I was amazed how good they are. I tried various things alongside my Atelier Interactive Acrylics and I could not tell the difference! Obviously the Interactives can be kept wet on the painting for unlimited blending, but that ۪s not a feature I use very much, if at all. One caveat; these paints do smell. Not badly, but if you ۪re a migraine sufferer like me, I ۪d advise getting a small tube first to check before launching into the big pots.”
