Cadmium Orange Watercolor
Great paint at affordable price.

A rich vibrant yellow that mixes well with other colors. If you mix it with titanium white, you can create great looking highlights. The paint has a smooth butter like consistency, which makes it a joy to work with.

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.

Prussian Blue
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.

    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,...
