Great trial size. Good variety. Now know which medium I like and will use most!!

Great set of gels and pastes for hobbyist and/or beginner!

nice to get all at once and compare how they work in different projects

Golden Acrylic mediums will help you paint at the next level giving you more control and extending your technique. Golden's Technical support is excellent too.

Normally when you see a kit like this it is way jacked up on price but this is a true value for your money. I just got started into mixed media canvas art and I want to use these to do all kinds of fun stuff but I like to test things out and see what I think will work best for my pieces and not just rely on what someone in a youtube video suggests (not that there is anything wrong with that.) so I did some price comparisons and this is a great deal. It might be a little over per ounce on a couple of them but certainly worth it to be able to give them all a good go.
As well as the actual jars of different mediums and textures you get a folded brochure that tells you a little how each one might be used to give use newbies a bit of a guideline to go by and then we let our imaginations take us the rest of the way.
As for the particular items in the box you get the following in 2 oz little plastic jars:
* Soft Gel (gloss) : Used for glazing and other uses where transparency is needed
* Regular Gel (semi-gloss) : Good for extending paint without changing the consistency
* Extra Heavy Gel (Matte) : Blend with acrylic colors to increase body. Great for peaks.
* Light Molding Past : Is super light so you can build up the layers and holds nice stiff peaks
* Coarse Pumice Gel : Blend with colors to get the textured, pebbled look
* Clear Tar Gel : You can get fine lines and details by mixing with color and dripping it from a palate knife.

I did a little unboxing video for you to let you see what you get and I hope it might help you in your decision making process as well as a few images if you aren't the video type. Cheers and happy creating!
