This was my first gouache set and I was very happy with it . It can with a caramel d ache 8 round brush that I can tell will probably start to wobble because of the poor lack of construction but for. Ow it is an excellent brush and comes to a nice tip . The paints come in removable pans that are huge . The colors then selves are creamy and smith . The beige is a little streaky and I read in a previous review that the fuisha was not lightfast at all but that the rest were fine . I plan on doing my own lightfast test and with update with photos when complete . The container while slightly flimsy was still nice with large mixing areas
