What is the lightfastness rating of these paints? Can I mix them with other acrylic paints, like soft body acrylics?

The lightfastness varies from color to color, but they are generally within ASTM I-II, Excellent and Very Good Lightfastness. You could mix them with other paints, but that will take away from the matte finish.

Can this be used on wood?

I use gessobord for my paintings. Essentially the same thing as wood substrates. Plus, acrylic paints generally do well on wood.

Is this the 12 set? The description says six set but i pushed on the 12 essentials set?

The product photo displayed by Amazon reflects it is the 12 piece set. I purchased the six piece set, the SKU for which is 3699323, a different set identified by means of the difference in SKU. I hope this helps.

Is this truly gouache or a "matte" acrylic? How does it compare to holbein acrylic gouache?

It truly is. Quite honestly, I have used both Holbein and Golden matte acrylics and out of all three, Liquitex has a much better consistency, fluidity, longer working time, and a beautiful velvet matte texture.

The colours are vibrant and the containers are sturdy. Its a small amount of paint, but I expected that. This is a good way of getting the smooth and bold gauche colours qhile having a sturdy and waterproof meduim. I use it together with my acrylic to really make things interesting. 10/10 exactly what I was looking for.

Ottimi per il doll repaint e le miniature: fluidi, brillanti, facili da stendere senza quasi bisogno di diluizione. Il set con i colori primari consente di creare tutti gli altri colori. Ottimo anche il rapporto qualità prezzo

A wonderful acrylic gouache for professional use, their lightfastness rates beat other brands, this is an important aspect to consider if you sell your work. Consistent opacity throughout all colors, beautiful matte finish and also highly pigmented. The colors in this set are ideal and you can mix pretty much any color from it and then decide which ones to buy in a larger bottle. Good value for money especially for a professional grade paint. Use them with a wet palette as you would with traditional acrylic paint so that they don’t dry too quickly.
