Gamma "Gamma": features of choice
In the modern world, the crucial importance of creativity in the development of a child has long been understood. Even if the child does not show outstanding results in drawing, but at the same time demonstrates a clear desire for such an occupation, he does not need to interfere. On the contrary - you need to contribute, because in this way the baby can acquire some other, not the most obvious skills. If the child is making progress, then it is necessary to help him.
However, it is no secret that the choice of the right tools is extremely important for achieving creative success. Parents are usually not very well versed in the specifics of colors, and therefore often choose the well-known artistic gouache "Gamma".
Those who doubt that gouache "Gamma" is a worthy choice, should carefully examine this article.
About the manufacturer
In the entire post-Soviet space, there is hardly any other manufacturer of art goods with a longer and continuous history. The appearance of production and its tasks over a hundred years of existence have changed several times, but this does not prevent Gamme from keeping its chronicle from the distant 1899, when the steam dyeing factory was located at the same place.
True, this organization, apparently, was not engaged in the production of paints, namely, the painting of various surfaces. However, after a few years the company changed the owner, who reoriented the company to the production of paints, and took care of the proper diversity of the range and adjustment of the production of its own pigments.
After the creation of the Soviet Union, the production association was nationalized and received the name "Red Artist". Although many initially successful private enterprises fell into decay after nationalization, this did not happen with the “Red Artist”: the metropolitan layout predetermined the role of the plant as one of the leaders in the paint and varnish industry of a huge country.
In 1994, the company was again reorganized, focusing on the needs of a market economy. In particular, got its modern name. After this, an active expansion of the range and the search for new markets began.
As of today, the brand offers consumers more than 2 thousand different types of goods, mainly artistic and other creative.
The products of the company cannot be called professional - masters of the brush usually do not like even the best paint from Gamma. Another thing - children's creativity, because The plant offers a huge selection of paints, including gouache, with a completely safe composition at a low price. It should also be noted that the production of "Gamma" in Russia is available everywhere.
Assortment of gouache
It is hardly possible to call Gamma a specialist in gouache, and yet the choice of this type of paint in the company's range is quite large. Art kits are available in 12 or 16 colors in 20 or 40 ml jars.
In the child gouache segment, nine series of gouache paints are represented at once. Consider each of the proposed series more closely.
- "Bee". A typical set for the youngest children who are just starting to try to paint. In a cardboard box with a cute pattern are 6 jars of 20 ml.
- "Young Artist". By all characteristics, this set is similar to the previous one, only the packaging design is different.
- "Country of the Elves". Another option for the little ones. The volume of gouache jars has remained unchanged, but here in the configuration there is a choice of 3 or 6 colors.
- "Cartoons". This series can already be considered more “adult”, since it is clearly designed for those children who have previously had experience in painting with paints. With the standard small size of jars, there are three types of configuration at once - from 6, 9 or 12 colors. In the most full-color version of the set is already quite suitable for use in school.
- "Miracle paints". Sets of this type are fully adapted for school use - their packaging is even devoid of deliberately childish design. The set is available in 6, 10 or 12 colors.
- "Lyceum". Such a box has a rather sophisticated design and all its appearance hints that a student of art school could use it with success. You can choose from sets of 12 or 16 shades.
- "Fluriki". Such a gift is hardly useful for teaching drawing at school, but it will certainly please any child who believes in magic, because the gouache paints in its composition are fluorescent. Although there are only 6 colors represented, the result should fascinate the baby.
- "Cinderella". Such paints will be an excellent gift for a little lady who loves to paint the rich decoration of palaces for real princesses. In a large package there are 10 cans of gouache paint, and 2 more - with special gels that imitate gold and silver. You can buy a set of this series in a smaller version: there will be only 5 gouache colors in it and only one type of gel to choose from.
- "Orange sun". This set is an attempt to combine all the unusual possibilities for drawing. First of all, the manufacturer presents this creation as 11 colors in 12 jars - for the reason that white gouache has been added to the kit, which is a rather rare phenomenon. Red, orange and blue colors have the ability to noticeably glow in the dark. Gold and silver pearl colors are also included.
The company itself recommends pearl, fluorescent and regular shades to mix only with each other, otherwise the effect will be lost.
In addition, the manufacturer offers to buy gouache individually. About the children's orientation of the production of "Gamma" says even the fact that She does not have a single set of colors, consisting of at least 18 colors. However, this can be made independently, if you buy a set of “Flurics” for a set of usual colors of 12 colors.
