I have been very disappointed in the DaVinci gouache videos that I have been able to find! I believe that they are most concerned with lightfastness and longevity of their products. The biggest complaint about DaVinci Gouache is it is more transparent and shiny, not flat like gouache should be for product photography. It has been rumored that the company is re-working the recipe for their gouache paints, so I am waiting for the change. I have purchased the White tube of DaVinci gouache and it is wonderful mixing it with my watercolor paints that I have already purchased, I am not going to say it is phenomenal or my go to gouache, but let’s see how it goes. I hope you check out M.Graham as well as DaVinci brands.

Hullo Irit, I have yet to decide on a “go to brand” for my gouache paint! I have the 10 tube set of Schmincke Akedemy 60ml tubes that I have really enjoyed using, I wish it was easier to get the other colors in the line. Schmincke Hordam gouache is a little easier to find but it is quite expensive, it is almost double the price of the higher priced brands! Like Holbein or Dan Smith. D.S. Is a brand that I feel is truly overrated and overpriced too! I purchased set A from ShinHan and it was a good deal so I got set B to fill out my choices in this brand! I found both sets are much less expensive if you put them in your subscription list and set the frequency of 6 to 9 months for re-purchase. If you have no need of the paints as you are not using them up? You can skip the month and keeping the paint in the list to maintain the lower price too! I like the opacity in your painting and so I think I need to give it more real world testing, painting more pictures rather than just swatching and mixing colors. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about these paints!

Great to see what you painted on base of the photographs. Very inspiring. Very good idea to have a variety of copyright free photos to pick from for painting.

Hello There is a link in the description which is a 404 page can’t be found… Anyway thanks for your videos. I discovered your channel quite recently & i really appreciate it! Have a Nice day 🌲🦄🌲

Love it, so helpful!

My husband accidentally deleted your email to me about joining your art club. . .twice. Could u resend pls? I’m a very technology challenged grandma🤦🏻‍♀️. I’m not sure how to get back to the site. Life got in the way for a couple months. Is this video site different? I want to get this also. I love your paintings, color schemes & style. Much love to you & yours💝

Oh those colours! They look such fun to play with ❤

Thanks for showing us these! It's so inspiring! I hope to be in a place going forward where I'll have the ability to hop on this train, because it sounds absolutely great!

I'm getting both :) I realized that I don't need more art supplies, I need to start creating and finding inspiration and good classes instead.

Great video! Love that you love color! I do too! I’ve been trying to get your free Joy art club and thinking of joining. Do I need to be patient? Because I’ve signed up three times in the last 14 hours and still haven’t received. 😟

Gorgeousness .... and thank you for not adding music ❤

A few additional notes… regarding binder separation , happens in all brands, I give the new tube a hard shake first. I tend to paint more often with dried gouache and ShinHan dries great in a palette. Minimal cracking, re wets beautifully. Their white is easier to re wet than most however I always use white from the tube. I keep a small tube in my travel palette.

Thank you! Even here in the states I won't buy Daniel Smith until they are buy 1 get 50% off. They are 10.99 for the small tubes!

My favorite gouache. I have both set A and B. I work at an art studio with a small retail shop and I talked the owner into bringing in the full line if 72 colors. I had to agree to teach Gouache classes which I love anyway so it’s a win/win.

Shinhan gouache is some of my favorite.

I got my set B about a month ago, I’ve been using them in dry form and they are great! I’m considering getting the 18 colors set is it does have some colors i like but for now I’m just getting to know the colors and mixes, I’m glad you’re doing a review on them.

Re the intensity of your watercolours. I was watching an interview with Hazel Soan the other day and she says that every time you wet your watercolours, you’re separating the pigments from the binder and degrading the binder, so by the time you get to the end of your pan, you’re left with hardened pigment particles with very little vehicle left. Some people pick up paint with a flick and others get in there with a big wet mop and swirl it around and create a soup in the pan. The latter makes me cringe. I see it a lot in swatching videos (not yours, to be clear). I guess, if you don’t mix your own colours, you’re less likely to use the palette to mix your paint to the required consistency and just do it in the pan?? Maybe that’s where this habit develops? Anyhoo…just my thoughts on the subject. I guess that’s the benefit of using angled wells so the wash can stay separated from your paint.

I do love all the teals and the blues… think I’ll need to get both sets A and B… but 🙋‍♀️ question: how are these different from Shinhan Pass?

Thanks! Happy Holidays to you, always love seeing you paint.

I got these from Sarah Burns boxes and I really like them

Hätt ich mir auch fast bestellt!- und dann hab ich doch ein holbein gouache set bestellt beim black friday sale... hoffentlich bereu ich die Entscheidung nicht nach deinem Video 😅

Love this set, got it at the BF sale at Jackson's... got the 18 holbein and the Summer set to (already have autumn). I have a couple of mixing/startersets (WN, holbein, Schmincke...) and big tubes white (both) from WN. Therefore I like the B set more. The Jaune Br is a beautiful colour for the base of a painting. I could have done with a little less blue and greens....but i do love those colours😂😂😂 only painted 2 times yet, but loved it so far.... I did put swatches in my window, so in a couple off months i know more about the lightfastnes😊

Open stock can be found at jacksons

Most of the children's products are (almost) identical irrespective of the brand. I find little use in comparing them. Just scribble away...

I took advantage of the crazy sale and bought 2 copies of the 12-set (because the 24 Set A had too many mixes that I could mix, plus buying 2 12 sets gave me more white). Then I bought Set B at the last minute because of Hydrangea, ha-ha. I love these gouaches. They rewet beautifully, which is the most important thing for me. The lightfastness isn't any better or worse than other gouaches, much as people trash this brand while cutting the other brands a pass on lightfastness. With these, plus my collection of more expensive brands, I'm set for awhile, given my tendency to use gouache more thinly. Thanks for the validation, ha.

Oh I've never tried ShinHan Gouache before, these look really interesting 🥰

I love gouache, it is such a fun medium, great on its own and for mixed media. My fave brand is Schmincke HKS Designer’s Gouache. Works great fresh as well as rewetted. Winsor and Newton Designer‘s Gouache is a brand that I also like. But I also use other brands. Some of the less expensive brands like Arteza or Himi jelly gouache are fun to use.

In my experience, white always dries faster than colors, no matter the brand! I've looked at this many times, I also like the set B :) I bet the fluorescent pink combined with the cobalt violet hue would be nice! Oh and Jacksons does have these open stock. The one downside of this brand (and also Mjello) is they are not all lightfast. But Sarah Burns loves this brand and it's fine for sketchbook!! PS: The DaVinci gouache is very lacking. I don't recommend it currently -- but they did mention they were working on reformulating.

I love DaVinci watercolor, it's my go-to, but the DaVinci gouache, while really great for what it is, is a bit different from most professional gouache formulations as it's pure pigment in binder with absolutely no white added. As long as you know you have to always mix at least a bit of white in, those 37 ml tubes are an excellent deal, as is the huge 110 ml tube of white. It's a pretty limited palette, though, as their watercolors and oils seem to be their main focus.

I just started with gouache, i use caran d'ache geneve for the beginning:) do you recommend sth else...i mainly use it for costume drawings...schöne Weihnachten, eh aus wien:))

Thank you. I especially appreciated that your palette is in view! Helps me understand color mixing.

I have the original 12 color set and i was able to get set B to complement it on black friday. I really enjoy them. Great video!

Oh I'd love to have both sets...not sure it's in the budget right now, but maybe closer to Christmas it will get marked down again. It's great to watch you do art stuff and show us these beautiful colors. I have been neglecting my art too long. I've been very distracted with some traveling (2different trips) and we're having some work done on our house. I've also been "momentarily" distracted by watching advent calendar openings. I don't buy them, mind you, (the high-end designer & skin care ones can begin in the hundreds of $$$ and go up from there.) But admittedly they are kind of fun to watch some of them....for a while. But really, with a few exceptions, they should just be called "way overpriced excessive consumption calendars" because none of the ones I've seen have anything to do with "advent," (the days leading up to Christmas) in its original meaning or usage, which according to Google AI and in the American tradition: "Advent calendars often feature small treats behind the doors, such as a Bible verse, toy, or piece of chocolate." Like Christmas itself, it became over-commercialized and not even close to the original intent. Oh well. 🤔 Thanks & Happy Holidays to you & your family, Irit!

My gouache palette is Winsor & Newton/Holbein but I've been impressed by the three Daniel Smith I tried.

Hello Irit! Hello everyone! Irit, thank you for the thorough overview on this set. Because I am rather brand loyal, (Sennelier, Schmincke, Daniel Smith, Van Gogh) I’ve NEVER tried Roman Szmal. Thinking about your video (excellent as usual) I have a few conclusions. 1. Companies in Europe seem to have a … style? Color scheme ? That’s consistent by brand. Sennelier are not a first choice for all watercolorists but there is a flavor to their colors I find irresistible. Schmincke, Rembrandt, & Roman Szmal have distinct *styles* as well - I think that’s super cool!!! I love the option of granulating and separating watercolors but I like the idea of a few sprinkled into a set, not every color needs to be able to do that. Lastly, I’ve been in editing phase on my book-in progress- digital edits, not painting. Today’s video reminded me I need to ensure I make time just for playing again. Thanks for that. Happy holidays everyone, for those who observe✨ for those who do not, I hope the last weeks of 2024 are peaceful ✨

These are cool but really pricey I've looked them up on Jacksons and they did have open stock. For now I'll keep using my Holbein set and will perhaps get some of the traditional colors although getting all the seasons sets is really tempting.

Thank you Irit. Gray rainy day in Missouri. Yay😍 for paint. Agree, the price for the 2 sets is good. With some of the colors I could be friends🙂 In 2025 I want to try Daniel Smith & DaVinci gouache. From Holbein I can find colors, Windsor Newton I like in formula. Your offerings are fantastic. I’m still working the watercolor varieties of paper. Have a wonderful holiday time 🌟💕

looks like a great set of paints !!

Hi! Thanks for watching! As usual, this is a chatty video, feel free to speed it up (I do it all the time!). If you want to know the jist- I like these!! The color range is definitely Set B material so if you want a more basic palette (with black and white) you'll probably prefer to get set A.

I got set A during Black Friday and I want to kick myself for not getting Set B because it is so pretty and as you have said, it has increased in price so much! Thank you for your video!

• Your effort is remarkable-bravo!😇😇😇😜😜

Hey there, could you tell us about your brush! It picks up so much color! That was amazing. And I love this pallet. Hopefully it becomes available soon
