if this (okay well when we all get lazy sometimes) happens again, spray it down then reseal the lid so it can soften everything up first. If you can I'd recommend getting a pipette to move the water easier cause yeah you need a LOT. I use toothpicks, but people with the really large 100+ palettes use a sort of immersion blender and a stick shaped thing to get the corners. qtips makes cleaning the edges easier if you care about that, and I believe that there's something you're supposed to spray on it to keep it from molding
You also really don't need to "revive" them. Just use them. Yes they can be rewet. That is the entire point. Being "jelly" is literally just the same as having fresh watercolor, sure it handles differently but there's a reason people dry them in pans. It's very convenient and low maintenance. You don't usually do that with gouache because it cracks. But in these pans it is cracked and they're huge so it's fine.
Yeah, I thought it was unnecessary for her to do this to them, too. She could just grab a small cracked piece, spray it with some water and use that on a pallette. If she needs the color to be darker, she could just stick her wet brush on to the dry colors or just buy tubes. Thet last for what feels like forever.
@@shaneflores5657 i mean if you really want to work from wet consistency sure, but it's a ton of work and it's not really that necessary the paints work fine from dry. But hey it looks satisfying i guess.
I have the same set and although this would make sense I can say when it’s all dried down there’s a lot less pigment. So it’s nicer when they’re in the jelly consistency
the point with these paints though is that they are Gouache and aren't used like watercolor. If these were watercolor, then them being dry would be zero issue, however Gouache just doesn't work the same when it's freshly reactivated. That fresh, thick consistency is how it's supposed to be used (thinned in the beginning and thicker as the painting goes on!)
You can just leave them dried as well. They will reactivate when you touch them with your wet brush. You dont need the whole container to be creamy and soft, just the amount on your brush being wet n workable is enough. But it does look very pleasing to see them all gooey like they were freshly pressed out of a tube haha.
Isso não é aquarela 🙄🤌 existe um motivo pra não se deixar a guache ressecar sempre e o motivo é óbvio ( estraga a qualidade do produto e qualquer profissional que se preze não usa a guache embolorada e de má qualidade) fim .
@@ndeyedraws never happened to me ! When i recieved the palet 2 years ago one of the pans -prussian blue- smelt funny (like goat cheese 😂) so I let it dry and I reactivated it with alcohol and it's fine until then
It doesnt need fixing. Dried gouache isn't bad, it is supposed to dry out when in pans. Simply reactivate with your brush by rubbing it with the wet brush when you're about to paint and its all good.
I always use pallet knives to mix my guache. And something I do so my guache doesn't dry out like that is I try to rehydrate and mix them at least once a week and giving a extra spray on water to both the paints and the lid right before I put them away so if I don't get back to them when I plan to they will be nice and hydrated for an extra few weeks. Obviously I adjust accordingly.
Gouache is an inbetween of watercolor (aquarelle) and oil paint. It's base is honey and gummi arabicum (resinated dried oil) so all the painting and reviving / care technics for both above mentioned kinds of paint are applicable / administerable.
I actually really recommend gouache tubes because they never dry out. Or let's just say if there was any paint outside of the tube like on the cover it will definitely dry. But it's still better that doing this whole process.
@kiwi it can be different depending on brands but I imagine fixing it would be easy. Putting water then squishing the tube. I don't have any experience with this situation so I can't really argue.
Darn it, Pierre! Why'd you have to play that Ida Corr song? 😹 You left me all distracted thinking about it! Forget the Drag Race, more Jamming with Pierre! 💖💖💖💖
Whenever i see temi in a comment i get excited bc i though they were talking about me but no obviously im watching temi danso art My names temi to never seen someone with the same name as me❤🎉
Lol 😂I like hearing you that happened to mines once I struggle through all of them I put plastic wrap to keep it most I just checked mines after months and it’s still moist
I'm a weird guy but honestly, I do like my Himi to dry. It's because it's the time I could finally use it like dried cakes since I'm not quite a fan of scooping liquids. As long as there's no mould in it, dried Himi could still be used.
I remember painting with my mom's old gouache set as a kid. It came in those little containers that look like mini-buckets with lid, but three times bigger than modern containers for gouache. It was so old and dry so i couldn't even open some of the containers. I wish I knew that it could be reactivated 😅
