The tip of the whites is everything!!!

[@CecileYadro]

Thank you!

[@ChantelleArts]

That pastel tip is spot on and super helpful! I always struggle to get pastel colours too because I never start out light enough ❤✨

[@CecileYadro]

Glad it was helpful!

Never in my life I thought I will be so invested in a painting of an onion.

Excellent! This is so helpful. I've just been using Titanium/Permanent White for everything. But I'll now add Chinese White to my shopping list. And I hadn't even thought to use colored pencils on top of gouache - cool idea. 👍 Thanks, Cecile.

[@CecileYadro]

You’re welcome!

[@PaintingPuff]

Thank you for your wonderful tips! I just started dabbling with gouache, and I’m a little overwhelmed by all there is to learn. Your artwork is beautiful! 💖

[@CecileYadro]

Thanks a lot!

[@creativecompanion]

Your gouache tutorials are truly the best on youtube! Thank you so much!

[@CecileYadro]

Wow, thank you!

I'm not sure I agree with not doing mixes with titanium white. I always swatch out my colours tinted with both titanium white and zinc white because, as you said, they produce different tints which gives you greater flexibility with each colour. Mixing with zinc white definitely keeps the hue correct and allows you to make more subtle and graduated tints. Titanium white produces beautiful pastels but there will be a significant hue shift. Once you know which way titanium white will shift a colour it becomes another useful tool. These unexpected surprises is what makes using gouache so much fun.

[@CecileYadro]

Yes but I feel like it’s giving some stickiness to the mix when you use titanium white.

[@bluewren65]

That's interesting, I've never noticed that. Perhaps it is brand specific? I have noticed that the mix feels "thicker" when using titanium white and also that the opacity is greater than with zinc white. @@CecileYadro

Hi Cecile. Wondering if you have a favorite set of brushes that you use for gouache. I've got probably 75+ (I know, way too many) for my watercolor and I use them but...

[@CecileYadro]

I have a video about gouache brushes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJe8ZICdobSbr7s

[@myrnalandersartist]

I've been enjoying your videos and was inspired to paint with gouache! I bought a W&N set and I'm kind of disappointed. The yellow wasn't opaque at all! It almost seems like a glaze. Is this just the brand?

[@CecileYadro]

No it's not the brand, it's the yellow. you can have more information here: cecileyadro.com/why-is-my-gouache-not-opaque/

[@myrnalandersartist]

@@CecileYadro thank you so much!

[@lindawakiyama1603]

Hello from Japan! can you mix watercolor pigment from the tube with gouache to paint?

[@CecileYadro]

What kind of gouache? white? you will get only pastel colors. I wouldn't advise you to do that, you'll get weak colors.

[@lindawakiyama1603]

@@CecileYadro Thank you for your explanation, and I should specified gouache color!

[@sugaryxegnirys]

Wow I never considered mixing the color into white to make lighter values! No wonder I struggle with adding white. lol But one difference I've heard is Chinese white is for transparent mixing and permanent white is for opaque mixing. Do you agree with that?

[@CecileYadro]

I don't like to make my mixes with permanent white, it's getting the colors a bit blueish and sticky; I always use Chinese or Zinc white for mixes.

[@sadiafarjana9400]
