Shuttle Art Tempera Paint Sticks, 32 Colors Solid Tempera Paint for Kids, Super Quick Drying, Works Great on Paper Wood Glass Ceramic Canvas

Ich habe sowohl das normale 30er Set als auch das Set mit den Pastellfarben. Hier bewerte ich das normale Set: Leuchtende, schöne Farben. Die Metallic schimmern schön. Kein Geschmotze, Farbe trocknet im Grunde sofort, das Skizzenbuch lasse ich trotzdem eine halbe Stunde offen liegen, damit beim Zuklappen nichts zusammenklebt. Durch das schnelle Trocknen ist es aber nicht möglich, die Farben mit dem Finger zu verstreichen und ineinander zu verblenden. Allerdings sind sie wasserlöslich (die Striche lösen sich dadurch nicht auf, aber man durchaus Farbe herumschieben). Durch die Dicke der Stifte ist präzises Arbeiten nicht möglich, und ich gehe davon aus dass die Farben nicht lichtecht sind. Leider lassen sich keine einzelnen Farben nachkaufen und ich habe den Eindruck dass ich die Sticks sehr schnell aufbrauchen werde. Viel Plastik. Für Kinder super, und ich selbst habe auch großen Spaß mit den Sticks. Es gibt auch größere Sets, aber wer sowieso das Pastellset noch dazu kaufen möchte, ist zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt (22.07.24) am Besten dran mit dem 30er Set und dem Pastellset, denn in den größeren Sets sind schon mehrere Pastellfarben dabei, und diese hätte man dann doppelt.

Great variety of colours

These are awesome for journaling or for no-mess fun. They dry quickly (not good for blending, but great for layering) and are pretty opaque, especially in layers. Don’t expect precision; they are clunky and it can be hard to get a precise edge since they are so creamy and shaped like a glue stick (they twist up like one too). There are also imperfections in the paint itself - I was getting purple streaks in my grey blue, which happened to present itself in my color swatch so you can see. It’s annoying to cover back up, but for my uses it’s not a big deal. I didn’t find the color labels they come with to be exactly useful and some of the colors on the box don’t match what the colors actually look like. It’s always good to swatch your colors anyway. I labeled them regular names that I thought made sense since I’ll be sharing them, but I am also trying to learn watercolor painting using Winsor paints, so on my color swatch I did my best to approximate the color matches for my own learning. These are pretty pastel colors, portable, fun and easy to use, and even brown paper bags from the store or Amazon shipping paper become canvas material with these. I just ordered the regular color set too!

Really smooth to paint with and a beautiful shine!

These paint sticks are truly the best. I’m an infant and toddler teacher and got these for my class. Young children don’t always have the fine motor strength to use enough pressure to get the color out of crayons that older children do and sometimes markers can be hard to clean. Wet paint is good to use but is always messy and many young children just want to put it in their mouths. These paint sticks were so easy to use, quick to dry, so creamy, and the colors were so bright and amazing. It really looked like paint once it was dry. You could layer the paints without blending and it felt so satisfying to use. I wish they made these in thinner sticks to make more detailed art for older children. My own kids (4 & 2) also loved these. They spent more time making art with these than other crayons or markers. These are way better than gel crayons which don’t always dry and often transfer colors to other things if the paper rubs against another material long after being used. The cleanup is so easy. They wash right off of hands and tabletops. I haven’t tried washing out of fabrics yet but it seems like it will come out with ease. I love these and will always keep a set on hand.
