I have not had occasion to use this paint as of yet

I have not had occasion to use this paint as of yet, but I think I will have fun playing with it.

Neon Oil Paint Samples
Neon wash brings painting to life

Searching forever for neon oils, as soon as I saw these, I ordered all they sell. First thing I did, I made a wash of magenta and a couple of the other neon paint colors and completely transformed an unsatisfactory painting of a young man I once knew into a vibrant Warhol-like statement.

Perfect!

I love this paint. I have a lot of Gapka paints, and no other company make me so happy! I ran out of an old tube of Prussian blue, and was glad to replace it with Gapka’s. It’s great quality, creamy paint - workable and beautiful.

Gapka is just the best quality paint all the way around.

Since I found Gapka paints, I'm slowly just trying to get rid of all my old paints and just ve a Gapka user. Love them.

I love Gapka paints

I use both the oil and water color paints, and have reordered multiple times. My standard paint tool box is limited to Gapka, Michael Harding, and Charvin.

My wish for Gapka - a semi transparent white oil (non-lead)

Great color

I like the color and the transition from partial opaque to transparent. As usual, Gapka doesn't disappoint.

Love it!

This is the first time I've tried Gapka paints, the colors are mood lifting. The paint consistency is creamy and easy to use. I'll need to try different colors.

Very nice and vibrant

I really liked the samples of paint I got. They did get damaged in the mail and dried up a bit but I was able to salvage most of them by mixing with linseed oil.

Excellent

Very good pigmentation will buy again

Yellow Oxide Transparent
Worth it

One of the highest pigment loads I've ever used, extremely thick so you can use it for heavy impasto or thin it down for a wash. Love it.

Ultramarine Blue
Just what I needed!

Ok, who really needs more paint, I should say just what I WANTED! The two sample set I purchased came quickly! Packaged well. What an amazing paint this is. Each and every sample was better than I thought for a reasonable price, which we know is hard to find! I especially am loving the pearls! My favorite by far! I am working with the White Pearl right now and am loving the results. Fine grade paint, not a lot of oils and flows nicely. Thank you Gapka! ~Kim

    Why Filler-Free Watercolors Handle Differently

    At Gapka, we don’t use fillers in our watercolors. That changes everything. Many commercially manufactured paints include additives like chalk (precipitated calcium carbonate), dextrin, or other “extenders.” These aren’t necessarily evil,...
