oh yes I remember how funny was Jazza on that video. specially the when he got embarrassed 😆 I am new to gouache but definitely loving them. thanks for this video Kori ❤
@@ColorfullyOptimistic I use it for full paintings! Since I scan my final work into a computer and edit it for prints, lightfastness isn’t a primary concern.
I have this set. I love the pearl colors and have used on many backgrounds. I've tried using the solid colors on a couple backgrounds and was really disappointed in how it turned out. I don't think it's the gouache's fault but user error. I'm excited to see you use this in coloring book so I can get mine back out and try again. I wish I had not put mine in a palette. But when I use the palette it's more of a watercolor consistency and from the tube is just a gouache. But when the palettes run out (like in a hundred years) I won't refill and will just use from the tubes.
Yeah I do plan to water these down, but I will use them thick too. Only thing is you can't layer them in most coloring books, just because they'd become awfully heavy. That said, I might try it anyway and see lol. Just need to find a page to sacrifice - for science.
Looks awesome, can't wait for the review. Wondering how I'd use them in coloring books because I'm wanting those pearl colors - ADOS Attention Deficit OOOH SHINY!
LOL that's a new one ADOS. I'll have to remember that! The pearlescent colors are quite lovely. I think they sell them separately, in fact, positive they do. These will primarily be backgrounds, because if you layer them up, they'd be too heavy for actual pictures.
I do not have this gouache, though it has some pretty colors. I have only tried some jelly gouache so far. Still very new with using gouache but I like the fact that it is more opaque and can be layered on itself.
Yeah, it's nice because watercolor, as we know, lifts the second you rewet it, so it is nice to have something that can be watered down, yet not reactivate.
Well for swatching, I just use the Arteza 140lbs/300gsm, but if you are working on something more precious or something you want to display, sadly, you're going to have to spend money for good papers and watercolor is highly sensitive to paper quality. Stonehenge and Arches are great ones. I haven't tried the Windsor Newton ones myself, but heard good things.
I don't use them as much as I should lol. I bought some half pans off Amazon & put all the colors in their own pan so I can have "watercolor" at the ready. They get used more for the holidays lol
One thing to know as gouache - every layer you use you should use more paint and less water, because the layers below can lift. And use light pressure on top layers to blend or underlayers can lift and you'll get muddy colors. I use watered down washes for the first layer and less water over top of it to avoid that. So for your initial layer, you can use it like watercolor, but after that use more pigment than water. Use it as thicker (acrylic-like) paint.
@@ColorfullyOptimistic yeah, I bought the Himi jelly gouache and I've gone through SO much white. I've heard good things about the Holbein gouache, pretty expensive but I guess it wouldn't be too bad if you're just buying white.
I bought these awhile ago. I'm pretty new to gouache, but so far I really like them. I have used them from the tube as well as reactivated them once they have dried and both ways work well. When they are dried I spray them and let them sit for a little bit and they seem to work fine. Peach Red is a lie lol its neon, pretty but neon. I like the shiny ones they look good on white and dark paper. I think I'll end up buying the watercolors some time . Do I need them, noo, but I sort of want them. I've told myself that I'm on a no buy till the end of the year since I have a bunch of stuff that I have hardly used but there are so many things that I want.
Oh gosh the neon on that one I'm like can we at least get a more accurate name here? LOL. Yeah I like to use them out of the tube after seeing a few others do it. Rule breaking! Yay! That said, I think I like their watercolors more, but I'll still be using these of course.
