The colours are great, and as others have said, they are creamy, like painting with butter, or lipstick. The colour runs out very quickly, there is very little quantity inside the tube. I wish they came in larger tubes. They are good for small works but there is not enough paint to cover a larger area. They are smudgy, you cannot get a solid opaque line, more like a textured opaque line. They are too smudgy for me. I don't know if they will dry or not or how I'm going to seal them, but it's fun to experiment with them. Nice to experiment with a new medium, the colours are beautiful.
