Not the best choice of background music. I had to turn on the captions and off the sound because I wanted the information. Not my favorite way of watching a video but it was very informative. 😊

Thanks for this video. You cover a lot of information and you do a really great job of showing some of the ideas that are explained on Bruce MacEvoy’s Handprint website. I especially like the addition of the detail strokes and the softening. 😊

How do these compare to traditional Asian brushes?

They don’t blend.

The noise is terrible

Thank you

Oh my goodness, that alarm beeping makes it almost impossible to listen to this.

You are missed. ❤

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen on this type of paint.

I've been looking into making homemade gouache and one says to add 2-3 drops of vinegar into distilled water to prevent mold. So I guess you could add very diluted vinegar into your paint to prevent mold. I would test in one small amount of paint. 🤷🏾‍♀

Thank goodness for closed captioning! That beep is good for torture, not as background for an otherwise lovely video.

Sadie, you've saved the day indeed! I was worried that a tube of Holbein would finish quickly, not anymore.

We miss you Sadie. Hope you’re doing well! ❤🙏

Why no more videos?? 😢

The alarm clock music makes this unwatchable with the sound on. Good info in the video though. It was fun seeing all the ways the captions tried to say "gansai"

I miss you. 🤗

sound sucks, couldnt watch

I’ve been looking for a good video about trois crayons drawing, and yours is really excellent! Inspiring, informative, and practical! Thanks so much!

Excellent video. Answered my many questions. Thank you.

This is a deeply felt powerful account of direct and institutional racism that is globally felt and globally shared. In the UK many black people fear medical seeking and having intervention due to the disparities in health outcomes, and inequality in health. Government reports have shown that in all the 5 key areas of health black people have the less successful health outcomes. Thank you so much for putting together this very much needed explanation and examination of how racism impacts on melanated people. It should be a global embarrassment.

Hi Sadie how are you doing? This is an excellent video and painting. Relating deeply ❤❤❤

I bought the high chroma and earth sets and love them so much I FINALLY ORDERED this one! I think only one color dupes between sets and I think it's yellow ochre but I am going back to research and list them. Thanks!

Terrible background noise! Terrible 👎

I very very much appreciated the video but like others have stated the “music” was hard to tolerate.

Short, concise and full of information. Thank you, Sadie!

The Cosmotop Mix B brushes hold SO MUCH water. The big ones are the best wash brushes! I just wish they held a better point

Lmao, now we’re literally watching paint dry 😂

What a lovely video, from the narration to the music selection. Thank u

I just saw the most recent video you’ve done. I sure hope you haven’t given up on KZbin and will be doing even more videos? I’m just getting into your videos here!

I never considered the dispersion of paints! I love it - thanks for sharing 😊

Which brushes did you get in the set?

Can I get this in acrylic?

Thank you for this exceptional video in terms of insightful commentary and thoroughness of your review. I too, appreciate these beautiful colours and the work that has gone into them. I don’t yet have my own set from A. Gallo but I hope to own one soon. You are definitely one of the artists that has helped me make that decision.

yea SADIE.. WAY TO SAVE THE DAY again... thanks for the review very helpful!🥰

Beautiful!

Other artists use the large goat for everything from washes to details, fyi

This is a good showcase for how great monotones are for botanical subjects! I grow all sorts of orchids, being a lifelong orchid and botany nerd, but was never satisfied with my paintings of them until I did one using just Payne's grey. Using just variations of tone and hydration to render form and texture made everything pop like never before. So I do much more monotone and very restricted palette stuff now. (O how it makes me feel sophisticated and superior LOL! No but it does put a spring in my step when a sketch is that exciting and rewarding.)

The M. Graham effect you are seeing is interesting, especially since I see a lot of people experiencing the same thing. I can't help but wonder whether Graham uses raw honey, which will crystalize. I can't imagine that being the case, as raw honey is more expensive, more reactive (presence of enzymes, proteins), and less stable, but maybe?

daler rowney is better in Gouache

The sound! Please please consider removing it... Please! The rest was great and I loved everything else, thank you for the information and demonstration!

Why would you think that alarm sound was a good idea!!!!!

I love the painting you made, but the backgroundnoise was só distracting, it even gave me a headache, so I had to mute it and only watch what you've made (and that is so cool!). Too bad, because I really wanted to hear what you were saying about Gansai Tambi.

What was the *bizarre* sound effect in this video like a beeping alarm clock?

how does the cold press version compare to other 100% cotton papers such as Arches. I can get it much cheaper than the best brands

Holbien doesn't use astm, international standard to test their lightfastness. They claim to have their own method of testing, but without the international standards it could be completely invented values. Personally i wouldn't trust a company that doesn't use the astm standards.

I wish you had have swatched the colour so we could've seen each individual colour on it's own.

WOW Thank you!

What a great video, thanks!

Beautiful mushroom 🥰

I am curious to know why so many artists want wet Gouache? They do reactivate like watercolor. Plus, when they are allowed to dry out, that also takes care of the mold issue. Hmmm.
