Hello Everyone;
Since so many non essential stores are closing now, I still wanted to paint, but not use my really good paint not knowing when I could replenish. My wife and I went to Hobby Lobby on Friday and I bought their ten 50 ml oil paint set. Masters Touch paint was at 50% off so that set cost me $14.99. This landscape and the following two posts were painted with these paints and they were painted on Masters Touch canvas panels as well. I do not know the drying times as of yet since I did these paintings today, but this is not bad paint. Actually, it is much better then I expected. It mixed clean colors, it had a creamy consistency and the colors look bright. I was able to use the same techniques I use with my more expensive artist quality oil paints. Don't get me wrong, these paints can never replace artist quality paint, but for artists of all levels, there is a purpose for them. For artists, it is a cheap way to try new techniques and pallet knife work without costing a lot of money. For beginners, it is a nice paint to start with. The pigment loads give good coverage and as I said before, mixing clean colors is not difficult as with other cheap brands of paint. If you do decide to try these paints, (whenever stores open again) be sure to use their 40% off coupon or wait until Masters Touch products are at 50% off. It really becomes a great deal then. One more nice thing about these paints is the tube size. Normal artist quality paint comes in 37 ml tubes. These are 50 ml so you get a lot more paint to play with. Whenever you get a chance, go to your local Hobby Lobby and pick up a set. They also sell them in individual tubes as well. Have a Blessed day my friends.
