Miya/Himi jelly gouache 🌻🌈 // Unboxing + first impressions 

Main reason why i really want gouache paints: To paint Ghibli scenes...

i only peeled the corner of mine off and when i’m ready to use them i just scoop out what i need and put it on the pan to keep them sealed and fresh

tip: the thing about jelly gouache is when it dries out you can reactivate it with water. But every so often while your painting you should spray the paints with water to keep them moist. oops I just realized you mentioned that, but I said that because you could've reactivated the paint on the lids.

I saranwrap mine before clipping the lid. its been helping keep the paints like putty/jelly. I purchased the set about 8 months ago.

they have a mist moisturizer spray to avoid molding and hardening of the paint. It's not required, water works just as well but the spray easily puts the hardened gouache to their jelly state.

watching those colours get unpeeled and revealed brought me immense joy and i don't know why :,)

I have been wanting to get this set! I’m so excited to see what you have done with it! Your art is so gorgeous!!

You're so skilled in all these different mediums! :O

I’ve wanted to get this set for sooo long and I finally purchased them yesterday! seeing this video is getting me so excited for when they arrive^^

I live in Asia and got the 18 cups palette for 13$. I really love this medium because it dries fast and I can do a lot of layers.

Dear Gretlusky, I actually didn’t write this up until now, but I discovered Gouache all thanks to you. The idea of drawing *Studio Ghibli* scenes with these bright, opaque colors is the BEST! And I bought this exact set for the job a while ago- I still need to get used to it, as the colors felt strange to use at first, but I just want to thank you for everything! Totoro, his blue and white friend plus the cat from Kikis Little Delivery Service were my first motifs! You inspire all of us, but especially us who are artists too! So thank you, you irreplaceable you! (rhyme? ;D)

I told my mom that I wanted gouache, so I asked if I could use my money and then she’ll pay for the shipment. Then she told me: “You already have a lot of art supplies. What’s the difference in getting these” I wish I could tell her that the ones I have are totally different mediums. Update: thanks for the likes and tips! My mom finally bought me one 🥳❤️

I just got some of these after hearing other RU-vidrs and online friends rave about them. I haven't don't much with them yet, just a few small doodles to see how they work, I managed to get a really good deal of a massive bundle with this same set of paint. I haven't been sure what to paint with them yet but I love the idea of studio Ghibli, I haven't watched any in ages, this was such a ramble lol

I got the 18 set of himi gouache a year or two ago and they're still perfect! at some stage I left them for a few months so the tops kinda dried out but I went and mixed each colour with a pallete knife, sprayed some water and they were all good! just make sure to spray them with water over half hour or so when your painting with them, just helps them stay creamy. Considering buying either this 24 set just for all the extra pastels lol, they look so cute, also love the paintings! Thanks for the tip about pencil on gouache btw, think I'll start doing that from now on :))

Thank you for scraping the excess paint from the wrapping into the pod😭 Tht wld have bothered me so muchh LOL

I lovee your voice, it's so soothing and soft, and your artwork is amazing!

Hi. I usually scrape the excess paint from the lid using a knife & put if back into the same colour. Hope that helps 🙂

i really love your art style😍 esp. when i see your illustrations in instagram. it is so amazing😳 i once bought himi gouache and it is fine to me thou

you are really talented, very nice paintings!! & your voice is so soothing, i love watching your videos!!

The paintings are beautiful! Amazing job! :)

Ahhh youre art is so amazinggg i love it sm!! Keep doing what youd do haha it really inspires me :)

the drawings are so nice and cute! thanks for your time and effort.

You are so talented in every different medium it seems! This was a beautiful spread, I always look forward to your videos!

I love that you only use synthetic brushes. Thank you for caring as well!

Really beautiful artwork! I just ordered this set and can't wait for it to arrive in the mail.

This is my first time watching one of your videos, and I subscribed right away. Your video style is so very relaxing. I must agree with you about the Miya Himi Gouache paint. It is wonderfully vibrant, with so much paint that it allows you to experiment with mixing colours without the fear of you wasting a lot of the paint. I love painting in gouache, I just love the creaminess of it, and the flat matt surface you get when it dries. I have only ever used watercolour up until my husband bought me this Himi gouache set two weeks ago, it's wonderful stuff and I'm completely hooked! God bless you and all those you love. Have a great day!

Your art style is really cute, I love your videos!

Wooooah that was so beautiful!!!

Gret, como siempre haciendo cosa maravillosas! tengo el set de 12 y hace tiempo no lo uso, ver este video me inspiró mucho, ahora quiero intentar hacer un estudio de fondos también!!

IT IS BEAUTIFUL!🤩🤩🤩

your art is so great!!

Beautiful artwork, keep making art 😍❤️

Really pretty!

This was super helpful, thank you :)

BEAUTIFUL!

This is so inspiring!

your art is gorgeous! i might ask my mom for this for my birthday !

These paintings are so beautiful. I bought some gouache in part due to this video.

Cool idea using the lids for the color testing

Beautiful 🌈☁️✨

Beautiful 💕

ooooooooooo this looks so dope

YAYYYYY NEW VIDEO I LUV UR VIDS Edit: OMG PERFECT DRAWS!!!!!!!¡!

You're so good! I follow you both in IG and Facebook! ♥

I love when you paint landscape. It is soooo beautiful 🥰

amazing

I used my jelly gouache twice and then it ended up in a bin with other art supplies, but I was really inspired this morning to do it again and they are all dried out. Rehydrating them is chaotic and my hands were covered in paint. But hopefully tomorrow when the ones I have to soak overnight have hydrated and I can mix them more, then I can paint something!

This video was great!! I enjoyed not only learning about gouache in general and the set itself, but also getting to see it in action with multiple examples! really made me excited to try out this medium!

wow I love watched😍❤️

Beautiful

In love with your accent

Beautiful paintings! Thank you for this video… really helped me decide if I want jelly cups or not 💖. I’m wondering what paint set is the color swatches in your journal at the end of the video from??

CUTE♥

bought mine today!

I'm learning and I wish I could paint like you ♥️♥️♥️♥️🤗

Ate these better quality than the miya 56 colors

Good job 👏 👍

O desenho ficou perfeito! Parabéns 👏❤️😊😁😍🎉

Thank you for the review of your process opening this! I just got this set, and your commentary was super helpful in figuring out how to organize the paints and what to do with the lids!

me who never tried gouache making me want to try aaa but i just did order alchohol markers and colored pencil cantwait to receive them eek ! i love how you painted its so opaque and vibrant !

Amo como te estan quedando los estudios. Además me encanta lo vibrantes de esos colores! estan buenisimos.

Quedo hermoso 💙💚 gracias por el video. Btw ayer me llego Primer y lo terminé demasiado rápido 🤣 I want more no me canso de ver tu trabajo.

yeaa Jelly gouaches arnt that that expensive back in china i hear people get a big set for like 8 bucks, sighs~! Anyways! what lovely paintings!

I was first hesitating to buy this brand 😆 when I saw you purchased one, this what drives me to buy one for myself 😂. thank you for amazing artworks it inspires me so much. I'm a big fan all the way from Philippines 💖💖💖

I think your English is very nice!💕

I just got my gouache too:D They are awesome!

I love how the drawing turned out, I really like the sea and water in general ⭐

Look like different sauces

I made two different color swatches with my lids. One where I spread the paint with a brush and tho second I pressed the lid against paper and the slid the foil a little to the right and let them dry onto the paper bc I thought the lids had order info but I realize they are on back.

Ppl be saying that their gouache set costs like 8-12 bucks but nuh uh uh.... It's 67 bucks in my country

Soy tu fan, saludos desde mexico 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

😍😍😍

I get Ponyo scenery vibes from this beautiful painting ^u^ it's a compliment, trust me!

I have too

what kind sketch book do you use? also i really love your art~

MANJA MUITO!!!!

New subscriber here - hi 👋 😊 Lovely painting 🌸

in my experience with this set, when you don't use it after a while (while the lid is on) it will dry out.

Tu dibujo es maravilloso! Ese gouache tiene muy buena pinta 😍 (aunque la textura de gelatina me echa un poco para atrás)

my mum wanted me to try out gouache and i honestly was worried at first when we got this set because i dont know anything much about gouache and i was scared this set would be like the terrible water colors at school and now i feel much better lol

Actually the only difference between jelly gouache and tube gouache is just like, pan watercolors vs tube? Tube acrylics vs bottle? It's just what the gouache is in, tubes vs cutesie cups (leaving aside brand quality and all, that is, something like windsor and newton or holbein or somethings gonna be better quality, especially as himi is pretty cheap-still great tho)

hi there! what kind of paper is ur sketchbook? Or rather, what kind of paper do i need for gouache and other paint mediums? hihi im trying to learn painting and stuff so im new to this.. ^^

The set is so heavy tho- , I knew it was large even with seeing the videos, but it just felt so big when I got it, amazing tho, filled with so much paint

how much time did you practice to know how to color with gouache like this?

hii, i got a question! i just got the palette and i wonder if i can keep it on his side when the jellies are opened?

I saw many people using this Will that easy dry out

Im just about to hit the "buy now" button in Shopee to get all my art supplies but i got a bit doubtful about the washi tape. Is there a specific type of washi tape that can be used or I can use any kind?

i was wondering if acrylagouavhr would make a good base layer then this jelly wash on top because i need to make a painting i promised to do for someone

are they still worth it if you own a large selection of poster paints in jars? I am scared those will dry on me too quick

Where you got it from? I want one for myself and don't know where to get it from

Hola! Donde las compraste? Soy de Bs As! Gracias!

amo tu arte, literal una de mis mayores inspiraciones

Oh! You used the excess to swatch! I would definitely do it one by one as I open each one up because that's how much it hurts to waste them :P

I got the 72 pack of the paint thing I think but when I tried it wasn't as smooth like that T v T

I am waiting for my himi to come I am getting mine AliExpress the 18 colour set

I really like everything you do. Few weeks ago, i started drawing and i bought Ohuhu Markers because i saw your pieces of art with alcohol markers and i wanted to try. Now, i want to try jelly gouache, where can i find this set?

I had to set my goals in learning more about art so im focusing on sketching and painting basics (i cant draw lol) but idk what my art style is, but when people said it helps to find an artist with the art style you like and learn from them.. I keep thinking about you and your art for daaaayss. ❤️ I hope its okay if I make you my inspiration for my art style. \(*^*) / im just a little aspiring artist.

I know I'm too late but I hope and wish I can still get a respond🤧. What sketchbook journal (I honestly don't know what to call that) do you use? I'm struggling where should I paint with my Himi Gouache 🤧

I absolutely love everything you do, you have this magic touch. I want to be like you when I grow up :v (I'm probably older than you, tho) and I have a question... Where are you from? 🤔

Hi! Those are really prettyy! :0 💖💕💞💗💘✨💕💞💖💝❤ I saw a lot of tools you used for your videos, and I loved the copic one and these ones too! I've been struggling on what to use when using an illustration board and wanted to ask, do copic and these work on illustration boards? I hope you can answer me ^^ Thank you for your time!
