Oh my God STOP IT. I'M ASHAMED I LAUGHED.

I'm naturally hilarious, it's more a curse than you can imagine. At least now I can thank you for liking the instagram post I made where I 'borrowed' your ant. So yeah, thanks :P ...He's dead already.

I believe its very important not to compare what you draw with one medium with what you draw in a medium you've practiced for a while. That can sometimes be a big turn off for trying new things because it doesn't turn out as well as when draw in your favorite medium. It happens to everyone.

[@KaseyTheGolden]

This is a good tip!

[@gabbycossick2918]

Hey waffles

[@raymondsnailing1352]

I'd like to leave a few gouache tips, if you don't mind! I noticed you used the white of the paper, like in watercolour, but you're not limited to that! Gouache is great for highlighting: you don't have to leave out space on paper or use gel pens and liners. Everything can be done with the paint. Use the paint's thickness to your advantage! We all know what it feels like when we accidentally cover space on a paper that we wanted to leave as highlights (in watercolour). You can "undo" that with the colour you need because they're thick enough to cover the lower layer completely! In this sense I feel that gouache gives you a lot of freedom, especially for making mistakes. Use less water. And don't blend with water, usually one would mix the colours that transition into the main colour. Water takes away from the colour beneath it and may leave unwanted marks. Also it takes more time to draw in gouache, at least for me, haha. Keep in mind I was taught the traditional way of gouache and I understand you were just getting to know the paint, but idk, for the future. I hope I helped you, at least a bit))

[@VERCH4N]

Александра Сидорова i was planning on starting painting with gouache, so this really helped me. thank you for the tips!

[@losatta123]

Your artstyle looks really good with gouache.

[@KaseyTheGolden]

Thanks, I agree!

[@aveh7784]

[@lousworld6212]

"You're not going to create something great straight away" She says, as she makes something great with this new paint she's never used basically straight away.

[@yee8332]

The reason why she created something great straight away is because gouache is pretty similar to her main medium, watercolor paint. Someone trying a new medium that's similar to ones they're already good at will have better results than expected only because of the past experience. Replying like 3 years late but whatever, just wanted to say it

[@HoneyballLP]

I love Gouache. My sketchbook is a gouache playground. You can sketch easy, fast drying, matt. Love it!

[@inspiresketch8655]

Great video. Just watched the Halloween ants vid and was like, “ants? I thought those were bunnies!” Ever since those have been involved in your channel, I thought, aww, cute bunnies. I mean, really, now they’re ants!! I can’t believe it. They’re really good ants, I just was confused.

[@kristineeehj]

Wow! I loved drawing before but I wasn’t good! But! After I watched some of your videos I got so inspired I drew ALL day! And now I’m much better! Before I couldn’t draw without copying someone else but after your videos I come up with so many cool figures! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!❤️

[@truthtea5143]

I have been watching your videos for such a long time now and honestly I don't think my art style or my skills would be where they are at right now if it weren't for you! All of your videos are so helpful and watching you paint is relaxing and it helps a lot of people! :3 you are the main reason I got into watercolor, I have been trying it out for a while now and I don't rlly like it becuz I haven't gotten the hang of it yet, but I think watercolor would look rlly good with my style so i wanna keep trying and that is all thanks to you

[@LanaGoesArt]

You are so right about those things. I also tend to collect informations about new supplies before getting them, so I can choose what's best for me. Just today i placed an order for my first artist quality watercolors after weeks of research. 😀 your Gouache pieces are great. I think Gouache would also be a great medium to use on black. Greetings!

[@bowden8884]

Wow that stuff looks so good I like the leafy ring with the berrys on it. Do you like markers at all

[@andreajordan5088]

Kasey you are an amazing artist you inspire me so much ,every new video you post is 👍🏽 shout out to the ants!🐜🐜🐜

[@AhriAkino]

Dave is a man of culture.

[@bluebubbletea4]

I think you need to use less water, as your gouache painting isn't very opaque.

[@eadenjensen2259]

I drew you and Dave some fanart.(There more like fan doodles.) How can I show you them?

[@etherealdreams7493]

I know that you haven't used watercolour in this video, but when I use about 170 lb to create some watercolour art, my paper seems to curl and buckle, even though its so heavy. When you use about 130 lb paper for watercolour and create a full illustration, your paper doesn't seem to curl at all? I don't get it, I really don't want to have weird mountain-like paper. Could someone please explain how not to make the heavy paper buckle?

[@etherealdreams7493]

Thank you! That helps a lot.

[@coneshaped_frog]

Tape down the paper

[@gabapotoczek8174]

Great video! Your channel motivated me to finally try out watercolor :P

[@karinabliss2671]

Any medium? Ehh nobody can make me spend time using pastels, they are DISGUSTING

[@kiechau]

*cries in pastel landscapes*

[@sergerampon608]

I hate them too

[@EmyArt]

Why are putting masking tape on the paper back? I hope you answer

[@EmyArt]

EnderHannah wow really I'd never have thought that Thanks for replying

[@KaseyTheGolden]

Yes! Also it keeps the paper flat(ish) when it gets wet so it doesn't curl quite as much.

[@EmyArt]

Kasey Golden my paper almost always curl so I will try this out I hope it works Thank you so much

[@kinseydesignsbrands]

Thanks for sharing, that's a great tip that I hadn't thought of before! I use a similar technique with masonite, letramax, or any board that potentially could warp by putting an X of gesso on the back.

[@coneshaped_frog]

It's to hold down the paper

[@carlchristianadenic2688]

Pls do watercolor and guache comparison video

[@moydibaehr7239]

I got a huge eyeshadow palette for valentines day, but I can't where makeup. So it gave me an idea. What if I tried using it to make art? Can you try doing this? It might give me inspiration before I start.

[@lexkennedy3241]

Moydi Baehr I’ve had some class mates use makeup before. One girl even did a full painting in just makeup. I can tell you for sure you’ll need a thicker paper, but it’s totally doable

[@safiyyahmalik5197]

this was right before my birthday

[@johannastrand9597]

Great video, but when you moved your hand over the paper over and over when you drew the girl the focus got on and of, and was really annoying 😩 Maybe you can change some setting on the camera or something?

[@space_demon8948]

Johanna Strand i didn’t notice... it’s kinda rude you would say dat

Bumblebee Bear No it's not, it's important to point out things that she can do better too, otherwise she won't improve.

[@mihaelastefoglo6811]

Kasey try to do a painting using watercolors and Gouache ! It will turn out amazing! I do this sometimes to give to my drawings a realistic and detailed look :3

[@sachamw11]

People always say “gouache is opaque watercolor” that’s not real. Gouache does not apply the same as watercolor, watercolor applies softly and nicely, but gouache is much more... hard? Idk but it also does not use the same techniques, remember last time you used toilet paper or kneaded eraser, that erased watercolor, but with gouache,OOF, it just ruins your eraser, don’t do that, and with toilet paper, does not do any thing. Also, when you make techniques and textures with loose plastic, it does not do much, sure, if you want opaque watercolor, like me. Get qor or cheap student grade like Van Gogh, is more opaque, but also you can use a bit more color on your brush, and less water. But you can also get gouache x watercolor, like mission gold, but it is definitely very expensive,also what make watercolor less opaque is it’s solvent, gum arabique, gouache also uses it but less, watercolor uses about 35% gum arabique, and gouache uses about 10%? I’m not sure but there it is.

[@sachamw11]

yeah

[@aysbe320]

*Ya like smoth jazz?*

[@coneshaped_frog]

This is everything lol

[@datpotatoes4005]

Because the stuf are so expensive! I use free very very good app to draw! IbisPaint x !!!!!! So it has alot of stuf so i use it.. So no need to buy anything

[@idontknowhowiendeduphere6818]

So what kind of brushes should i use for gouache? Round or flat? I really dont know anything about this lol

[@kithaw1686]

It can't be... I'm early! Keep up the great work, Kasey. You've really inspired me and helped me find and art style 🎨♥

[@ramiazaman1394]

I know this is a bit unrelated, but when you shade with your watercolours, do you use a shade darker or pile up the same colour?

Hello

[@ArtWorkOfDR]

Ello Doll I also Just started to learn Gouache, just got my fist set like maybe a week ago now and I am loving it. I took a lot of time looking up Gouache videos and reading things as well before even buying my set. I am enjoying doing pieces with gouache and just having fun with it. Your right about not pushing yourself to hard to make something good right away, I feel its the times i relax and just have fun with whatever medium i am working with is when I normally end up liking my artwork more. Right now i am using gouache in some portrait work as a study kinda. I really hope you are enjoying your time with gouache and keep at it Doll and I love watching your videos and livestreams keep up the hard work Doll *^-^*

[@meteora6972]

I agree with this COMPLETELY my first gouache piece I started on was Daenerys. ( mind you, before I knew anything about painting skin ) i put it down for a month & just played with sketches at the beginning of the school year, i maDE A SUCCESSFUL GOUACHE PIECE !! so this video shows the most efficient way to learn any medium but jumping straight in has it’s benefits 💕

[@gryrabild]

I actually made my first gouache painting yesterday!! How strange... It's a fun medium!

[@emilyty1182]

Omg u should definitely make that your KZbin profile picture amazing work once again 😊

[@purbakabir9894]

*Sees how much comments this vid got* "Oh my- Well... U and other utubers get so many notifications everyday. Sorry. 🙃

[@o0Daisy0o]

I actually have a new pack of W&N Gouache which I'm really looking forward to trying!! I've been wanting to try gouache for years and I think it'll definitely be a fave medium, since I love flat opaque colours in my art. I just haven't opened them yet because I don't have a desk (was recently made homeless but in temp accommodation now) and I have fibromyalgia so sitting on the floor wouldn't be great xD This vid made me more excited about them though!! I loved it when you said "it takes 10,000hrs to master a craft" xD I just pictured someone with a timer counting down every time they painted. Maybe someone should do a KZbin series experimenting this theory lol!

[@ilyash1943]

I think your style works REALLY well with gouache. I would like if you would start doing like “trying new mediums” more regularly. If you don’t have to, it’s fine, but I think it’s cool when artists do that.

[@nekonbi]

[@Kimo0tJJ]

I have ADD.... I can't keep my focus on something for long. Which also means my interests don't stay for long. I've tried soooo many different creative mediums and at first I love it. But because of the ADD my attention to it fades really quickly (usually 2 to 3 weeks).... I really hate it actually. :( I don't know how to keep my attention to something for as long as a few years to master a skill. My brain can't do it... :(

[@animatingaykri7196]

I really love the painting you drew of yourself...❤️❤️❤️

[@brookerd241]

Kasey, Since you're awesome with the guaoche, do you think that you might convert to using it? I personally think that you did an amazing piece so I'd love to see more! but of course, if you don't want to its fine I'm not forcing you to do it, jeez Kasey, stop jumping to conclusions. But seriously, great job :D

[@kiwimiwi5452]

I knew that I liked watercolor because I played around with aquamarkers and I really enjoyed it, so was allowed to choose a watercolor set for christmas. I chose a cheaper one, that isn't too cheap, because I didn't want to spend too much of my moms money for something I haven't tried in that way yet. I love it, and I'm working on a watercolor portrait right now! (I'm so nervous, its realism and I really like it so far, I don't want to ruin it ._.) But this story needs a point, so I'll get to it right now. I have a friend, lets call her Liz. Liz is into art since about.. 2 months? She doesn't sketch much and is a total beginner. She asked her parents for watercolor and they got her an expensive set with 12 colors. Doing that wasn't the best decision. She likes it, but she doesn't need such quality watercolor right now! Something like my set would have been way better, its not too expensive and I have 24 colors in there, and since she isn't very good at color mixing right now, it would have been easier.. kids, don't buy yourself the expensive stuff right at the beginning (She's been ownig the set for 2 months and she hasn't even started any "final piece" or not even a sketch with it by now)

[@marinafurlan6908]

That's going on with your cam?! It's really weird today...

[@nicolle2126]

ngl i honestly thought when i first saw your work that you were working with gouache. Your style and process just lends itself well to it especially since you don't really layer watercolors too much

[@bigpen1s164]

My mastering takes two steps~ 1.Draw something 2.Practice cuz the thing you drew was trash and you didnt know the medium

[@dinodraws5393]

wow, all of your art is so inspiring👍

[@annacooper7656]

It's amazing! I think you should make that your KZbin icon

[@bethag]

I think this medium really fits your art style. Like you've said you have a fairly simplistic art style, and the gauche has a bit of a matte look to which serves your style well. Though I absolutely love your watercolor illustrations, watercolor has a bit of a textured look to it, which isn't bad, but this matte look just looks so crisp and clean, like your art style! And like you said it's great for lineless art, which again, looks great with your style! Ok I think I'm fangirling a bit, but seriously, I hope to see more gauche paintings! 💙

[@rosevans]

hay (horsejoke) do you mind if i steal the imaginary friend oc thing idea from you? its a very clever idea and i would like to use it, but i don't want people thinking i stole it without permission..

[@DoodleStuff]

Hey, I've seen her reply to someone who asked if they could try to draw like she does and she didn't mind at all, so I think making an imaginary friend oc would be fine with her. Besides, I'm sure that it's not a completely original idea so Kasey won't say neigh (horsejoke)

[@imaginartist2139]

Hey Kasey I wish you'd see this..but gouache can be a good sub. For fast contrast and inking instead of watercolor or colored inks. I highly recommend it with watercolor it's really nice 😊 or even straight up line work for your artworks just saying.

[@Emily-vc4xo]

Fun fact Gouache is very forgiving so I recommend this to beginners because 1. You can lift up the paint underneath it 2. If you make a mistake you can cover it up by watering it down and then painting the paper base colour 3. You can water it down to make it more “watercolour like”

[@cinnamonbird1984]

Kasey, i know this is just a random comment from a random subscriber but, thank you so much! Since i started watching your videos i got inspired to start water colors and honeslty, i never had so much fun drawing and painting. Anyways you're my favorite artist and i thank you again :]

[@Boxofcare666]

I want to draw so much, I want to enjoy making the art like I used to when I was younger, but I just hate everything in the process. It is like constantly battling against myself, and I know it is because my eyes are way more trained than my hand, so I see everything that go wrong and I’m not able to fix it. I know that I need to draw more, practice, take references, trace etc to learn and train my hand, but it is hard when every part of you hate the process and making you anxious, couple of times even all the way to anxiety attack (Im not kidding and I know I sound like a sensitive tumblr user, but it is the reality and I know there are people like me.). And you just HATE it. But I’ve started to battle against it. Before I just went couple of years almost drawing nothing, but now I try to draw every day, learn and train my hand. i dont know how long I am able to before my art block gets the best of me, but before it I try. And I know I like some art I hated before, look them happily and proud that I was able to draw something like that. But the constant battle against my art is so disgouraging and tiring that sometimes I even think that I should just stop drawing, it havent made me feel good in years. And English is not my native language so please, if you understand my text and what i mean, dont be a grammar police and ”fix” the errors, it is wonderful that people from different countries are even able to communicate with each other. :) friendly reminder. I am not going to apologize my English and I am not here to learn grammar, I am here to communicate with yall.

[@nessablessa357]

Cool

[@moredread3579]

Because of my art teacher I started to hate watercolors :c She was basically *in love* with them and we never did something fully in pencil etc It was, like, *only* watercolors and nothing else And since our lessons don't last so long, she sometimes wanted us to hurry up even if it would cause everything to be extremely wet There was this one time my painting was fully wet and it was visible but she said "Hurry up!" and stuff like that. And since I was tired of painting in watercolor only, I started to hate it. So, I usually draw digitally, and if I draw on paper, then I use my mechanical pencil or a pen.
