Winter Shipping / Air Freight Shipping Note
The extreme cold weather and / or traveling by air during shipping may cause one or more of the tubes to burst. I check every package prior to shipping to ensure that all of the tubes are in perfect condition, but I cannot be held responsible for any weather or travel-related damage... this is normal for ALL paints that are shipped in cold weather or by air and all paints are sold with the expectation that this is a risk for this, especially during Winter.

As a lover of ShinHan's product, particularly their PASS and Professional Korean Color hybrid watercolors (a hybrid of traditional watercolor and gouache,) I was thrilled to find out that they now have professional quality designer gouache sets.
The 12-pack is a fabulous introductory set, with 12 - 15ml colors. ShinHan Professional Designer Gouache has excellent lightfastness across the range and the colors brush on smoothly and evenly; all of them dry within a few minutes. This gouache also has unique features that allow for beautiful blending and layering. ShinHan as a brand is popular with designers, illustrators, and artists and this latest offering lives up to the quality of their other offerings.
Colors in the set of 12 include:
Carmine, Scarlet Red, Permanent Yellow Orange, Permanent Yellow, Permanent Green Light, Viridian, Turquoise Blue, Ultramarine Light, Violet, Burnt Sienna, Ivory Black, and Permanent White.
(Note that in speaking of gouache in general, unlike traditional watercolor, when applied in a thick layer, dried gouache can crack.)
Note that at first, you may just get a clear-ish medium coming out of the tubes. Every brand of tubed watercolor / gouache paint I've ever used, from ShinHan to Daniel Smith to Schminke, can have some settling and separation of the pigments and mediums between production and use by the end consumer. I find that if you massage the tubes a bit - with the caps on, you can work the mediums and pigments back together. If you do this prior to putting the paint into pans, you may find that you need to do it again when it's time to refill. This is normal and I don't do returns or refunds for this characteristic of the paint.
