are gouache paints and gouache watercolor paints the same?

Not really. Gouache is opaque and can be layered on itself. That means you can put lighter paint on top of darker paint. With watercolor you have to preserve your whites because you can only go darker. They can be used together. I highly recommend going to Instagram and looking up #gouache and #watercolor. You’ll see the differences fairly easily. I love them both but for different reasons. Have fun!

Is it good to put in a travel pallet?

The gouache paints are not very suitable for a travel pallet, I think. The reason is that they shrink and crumble in the pallet and the pallet needs to be straight up to be sure that the colors do not mix.

Does it have a bad smell? Some cheaper gouaches I've tried have a weird odor to them.

No, it might have a tiny itty bitty smell when you first open it but it’s not bad. It’s pretty decent paint overall

Gorgeous Pastels

This is my first time using gouache. I love the consistency and color pallet! I realized having white/black (+some darker colors) would be nice so I ordered the Sea pallet today! I was looking at some more expensive brands for trying out gouache when an artist said they love this brand. So grateful for a quality product at a reasonable price!

Beautiful Colors at a Great Price

A lovely assortment of gouache in pastel tones. It is worth having because you end up going through white paint trying to tint other colors. This is the perfect range of colors and the quality is great.

Paint

I thought I was buying water color paints, but the description doesn’t match the product. The color runs, too thin to use and store

Love the colors

I love the pastel shades. You do need to go over it a couple times to get a good saturation of color but they are still nice paints
