I finally tried the gouche sticks, & I absolutely love them. I practice on the small Thankyou board we get with each order. I loved them so much, I used all my red from the Classic gouache sticks. I can no longer see them as an option to order, only the pastel ones. I hope they haven't been discontinued
Hi there,

Such a great range of colours and so lovely to use. My 3yo granddaughter and I have a lot of fun using these paint stix and they dry very nicely.
These are really unique with such a lovely range of colours, the idea is they can be used on paper without the need of water, they blend easily and dry fast so mess free art for kids and adults alike, you can use them with a little water for extra blending or even rub them onto a plastic palette with water and use them like watercolours, easy to layer, can draw over the top of them with pencil or even acrylic markers, or glitter watercolours if careful! would make a wonderful gift.
Love these paint stix!! So versatile and help me to create such vivid paintings :)
TOTALLY in love with these and so is my 5 year old. Thick smooth consistency that blends beautifully with a bit of water. Washes off clothes easy too!
Thanks so much for the lovely review Jess!

I love these gouache sticks. They are smooth and creamy, and you can create explosive vibrant sunsets and horizons. I am having a lot of fun experimenting with them in the monent. They are mess free. You just remove them from the box and have a water brush ready and your good to go.
Thank you for your lovely review and for sharing your gorgeous artwork.
Great smooth application. I love them but the colours aren’t great… there’s no pink and a lot of dark colours. Hopefully I can locate a different pack that’s maybe a pastel mix to improve the variety.
Thank you for your review. I would love to help you find other colours in our range. please send an email to hello@lifeofcolour.com and we'll see if we can assist.
Fantastic for kids as they cover a lot of surface but also blend nicely.
As an adult I adore them as they are great for beach scenes and sunsets but not limited to.
Thanks so much for the wonderful review Emily!

These are the smoothest and creamiest paint stickers ever, they don't have that smell other paint sticks have. They are a pleasure to create with.
