I love your paints

I love your paints, they are the best all around for the money. Thank you for making an affordable product for artists.

Basic Colors Oil Paint Set
A quality paint for less.

Gapka’s Burnt Sienna is unsurpassed when it comes to pigment richness and quality. I have used other premium brands of oil paints before trying Gapka, and I can honestly say Gapka can hold its own against any of them. Gapka’s Burnt Sienna mix with titanium white and a tiny dab of Veridian, Cad Red, Cad Yellow and Alizarin Crimson will give you a natural looking flesh tone.

Great paint at a very affordable price

Gapka’s raw sienna is one of the best I’ve ever used. This richly pigmented paint is ideal for mixing skin tones.

Lovely paint colours!

Lovely paint colours! I swatched them out on what I thought was paper for oil paint but it turns out that it was for acrylic (my bad) so the paper leached the oil out of the paint which then went a bit chalky and hard to smooth over, so don't do that! The colours of the neon set of paints (I bought them all) are so vibrant and beautiful and I can't wait to use them on something non-porous to get a proper idea of their consistency -which seemed beautiful and creamy when they first came out of the tube.
