Our take on the Blick Premium Grade Tempera - Set of 6, Basic Colors, Pints

Blick Premium Grade Tempera is a six-pint set of basic colors: red, yellow, blue, green, black and white. It is a school-grade tempera aimed at sign painters, theater artists and teachers who need large volumes of opaque, blendable color. The pints suit classroom and backstage use where a single color runs out fast. Against student tempera brands, it stands out for the six-pint format and the basic palette; against artist-grade gouache it is thinner and less lightfast.
