I tried GOUACHE for the FIRST TIME... and I LOVED it | The Arcane Style

[@ADCArtAttack]

Have you watched ARCANE yet? - Did I do the show justice? I really enjoyed today's painting, I hope you all did too... It was nice to get lost in the process and actually push to create something Mum would put on the fridge.

You did an amazing job, its nice to hear that you enjoyed yourself while making it! Love the result xx I've used gouache a lot in the last year and I love them, I use Arrtx or HIMI brand and they are both amazing. I'll have to give Arteza gouache a try!

U should Definitely do some more serious art. Not all the time, but sometimes. This video was so worth the wait GREAT job

@@ADCArtAttack hi, lately I've seen a few tributes to George Perez, the artist behind the avengers, crisis on infinite earths and of course The new Teen Titans, would you be willing to make such a tribute yourself?, personally I would love to see what you could do with The new Teen Titans.

I loved the fact that you took on a piece of serious art. It's such a change from the typical marker reviews, that I just had to watch. And wow am I glad I did! The artwork you created is awesome! And the fact that you made it with a medium your using for the first time 😲 I'm shocked. Awesome job! Would love to see more in the future!

@@ADCArtAttack please keep doing this. This was one of my favorite videos and I would love to see your skill evolve using this medium.

[@CalebImanAyin]

You’ve taught me a valuable lesson when doing art; be free and let go and let your skills take control. Every time I watch your vids it all ways helps me to be a better artist. You inspired me to make an art Chanel on ticktock and it’s goin good so far! But my downfall is consistency and I felt like I was loosing my “groove” with art

[@MsBellaGames]

Watching you use the gouache makes me realize how little I still know about my Arteza paints and now I'm going to have to give them another go. And the final piece makes me want to watch this show that I'd never heard about until now. It's fantastic!

[@ADCArtAttack]

You would 100000% not regret watching it! It's one of the best shows out right now. It's VERY mature, in terms of how it treats its audience. That's one of the best things about it... no pandering, just a great series!!

[@MsBellaGames]

@@ADCArtAttack Now I'm really looking forward to watching this show. I do love good storytelling and character development. Thanks ADC!

[@sphhyn]

I have painted with Gouache, Tempera and Acrylic for over 25 years and for the longest time I didn’t know what’s what. I always had just bought paint in tubes and didn’t bother which kind I bought. And I dealt with the paints as they were and combines all three kinds. Took me forever to realize that Gouache and Tempera are water colors 😅 Today I am aware of the differences and I find Acrylic most convenient. But I also like the matte finish of Gouache. So I still use all of them and also combine them when necessary.

[@jaredtreanor8499]

Check out SoFlat if you like working in acrylics but like a matte finish.

[@sphhyn]

@@jaredtreanor8499 Thank you very much. I will definitely do that! Sounds great. But wow, they are expensive here.

[@bananamanchuria]

Question! I'm new to gouache and i've heard that the media tends to crack. How possible is that to happen and if its due to aging how could you prevent the paint to crack?

[@jaredtreanor8499]

@@bananamanchuria It's less to do with ageing and more to do with the thickness of the paint film. gum arabic isn't a good binder for painting thickly, it has relatively poor adhesion which leads to flaking and cracking in thicker applications. If you're worried about cracking, you could try some of the Acrylic Gouaches on the market, I believe Holbein's is very popular. Acrylic is far more flexible than gum arabic with much stronger adhesion so it's way less prone to cracking than traditional gouache.

[@bananamanchuria]

@@jaredtreanor8499 ohhhhhh niiice! Will check those out, thanks for the info! So goauche should be treated more like watercolors? Lots of glazings and stuff of that sort?

[@elitecpudoc329]

The video production on this is next level, loved the sound, the visual effects, and we haven't even gotten to the art work. Having no experience in the subject matter I can still feel the emotion of the painting and it is truly stellar. Great job all the way around!

This video/painting/music has officially made me decide to watch Arcane! That painting is fricking gorgeous!

[@andrewreimisch5487]

This is why I keep coming back: the joy of discovery and excitement that ADC showcases with new things! It gives me hope, excitement, and motivation to get back into Art again. I just wish I would watch these during the day when I can make the time to follow thru with this motivation.

I am absolutely blown away by the results you managed to get with a medium you're not used to! What amazing skills! I kinda want to try guache now! Thank you for an amazing video as always!

[@AntiquatedArtisans]

So, I've been working up to using paints more and more it's like I don't want to stop painting....and I've been drawing for years and I'm completely terrible at painting..but this just made me want to try and experiment more. It is SO FLIPPING BEAUTIFUL! and you put a lot of detail in there. The painting was way smaller than it appeared! Amazing!!! 😦😲❤ And now I want to watch this show lol

[@ADCArtAttack]

Honestly, as someone who grew up ONLY using pencils, Acrylics were so easy to use... but these paints give you such freedom. The fact you can almost "erase" mistakes, or simply layer over, makes a big difference in confidence levels. You'll take risks you never thought you would once you realise you can fix a mistake :)

[@AntiquatedArtisans]

@@ADCArtAttack ha Thank you for the reply. I only use acrylic when I do paint, so it would be nice to not have to use white for my mistakes. This is good to know. I can't wait to see more videos. I'm impressed at the detail here. 😁it's on a whole nother level

[@kaiwolff442]

Love your stuff, keep exploring and trying new mediums, it's so fun to watch! I'm a professional Paintmaker. Gouache paint is Only like Acrylic in the sense that it has full opacity. By its formula it is essentially a Heavy watercolor with a lot of filler packed into it (usually calcium carbonate) to make it matte and opaque. It otherwise uses the same binder (gum arabic) and mulling process as watercolor. It is a great medium for the artist that wants more full opacity with each brush stroke and a thicker consistency paint to play with. Great job using with such deftness for the first time. Impressive!!

[@babler31]

This is rad! You've been a big influence for me in learning how to draw and use pencils and markers over the last 2 years, and I really appreciate you going out of your comfort zone with the gouache. I always found paint to be intimidating but maybe I'll have to give it a shot now!

[@piplup10203854]

I have not watched Arcane but the artstyle is stunning! Also you and Gouache are incredible! I sincerely hope that you continue to explore the depths it offers cause I think you can find styles that maximize this medium and really level up you and your creative mind! It was an absolute joy to watch! The way you tried this out and let yourself just be immersed reminds me of my personal favorite artist because they often explore different mediums and find ways to incorporate to them and how art is just so expressive! This was really cool, great music choice too :D

[@iiruniaalice1764]

Sarah Renea Clark and Chloe Rose Art will be proud. Love that you are trying new mediums, loved it

[@SpySkater1]

This is incredible! The way you just know instinctively where to put shadows and light. It’s crazy. The broken glass?! Just… How?! You’re so good! I watched Arcane and Jinx is one of my favorites on the show! I would love to see you just do a series of Arcane characters in gouache. I want to see you interpret more characters the way you did with Powder/Jinx.

[@ADCArtAttack]

I try not to over think the process and I find it makes placing shadows/lights easier.... if you look at it as realism and not art, we all understand and see shadows daily. You just need to tap into that. Best to not think about it, and just do :)

[@andreaewert7204]

I loved watching you paint her hair! It came alive under your brush strokes! Just beautiful!

[@leftnut1055]

That finished product is something I can only dream of doing, you are insanely talented

[@4.1132]

This is so pretty 😍 Since you mentioned having a bit of trouble with blending skin tones in the video, you can use a clean brush just with water to blend or work in layers of less and less water. Gouache is basically watercolor with chalk in it, so it behaves a lot like that. It can also crack if the paint is really thick xD Starting with lighter layers can actually be better (depending on your subject) because the lower layers are less likely to reactivate and mix. Works a bit like oil paint with thick over thin.

[@ADCArtAttack]

Very useful info! Thank you!!

[@tymondabrowski12]

Better guache don't have chalk in it anymorw, just pigment and binder. Pigment is differently made than in watercolors and there is more of it, that's why it's more opaque. You can see that transparent pigments will often still be more transparent than others in guache form, too.

[@caitlindn]

Hi ADC, this painting is amazing! I was taught to use guash in high school in my arts class, which was really nice, as they are very user friendly. I didn't know much about other types of paint, so it's nice to see a KZbinr use this type of paint too :)) I really like how you always try new things and experiment with art! Happy New Year!

[@grannieannie1371]

I love the artwork but most of all I love the joy painting with gouache gave you. It was lovely to watch. I hope to see more.

I finished watching Arcane today. It was literally the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen! I’m obsessed with this style of work & with these characters.

[@FiaraGC]

Honestly clicked on this purely because of the Jinx image. ARCANNNEEEEE The art style is so unique and I loved it so much. You can tell as you're going along that it wasn't until the face that you really got into it and let yourself just flow.

[@pizzabellies4852]

That was awesome! That part talking about your relationship with your medium... poetic!

[@Finelineengravings]

This is hands down my favorite art piece you have done. We need more of this watching this is a inspiration to start back drawing again 😊

[@TheGreyscaleRainbow]

I fell in love with gouache for the same reasons you did as I love both acrylics and watercolor so this just presented the best of both worlds to me and I was able to get paintings out of it that looked like my digital paintings! I never wanted to try oils for various reasons and gouache feels like it's the best since I am impatient so I can't wait days for paint to dry but I also want to continue to blend. Gouache reactivates so I can leave a painting and come back to it and reactivate the paint when I want to blend and I love that! Your artwork turned out amazing I'm floored! I would love to see more of your paintings with this medium it actually makes me want to get mine out and play.

[@nirellediamond]

Man this is a fantastic piece. For your first time ever using gouache this is absolutely amazing. Honestly wouldn’t be able to tell it’s your first time using it, seriously looks so good. Shameless request. Please try out Crayola Supertips with an Aquabrush in the future! I’ve never found anyone else try using them with the brush as a blender like I do, and I’m dying to know how a pro who’s used many different alcohol markers can compare them. I think the right techniques and the brush can give really smooth and clean results that are super impressive, but I don’t know how they compare to more expensive materials like Pro Markers or Ohuhu markers.

[@LisabettaMedaglia]

Gouache is amazing! I primarily use it for making medieval illuminations for the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism), which are then given out as awards to the populace :) I use them with a combination of ink and genuine gold leaf, and I use them opaquely...I'll put a dab of the paint onto my palette, along with a drop or two of water and mix it well so that it resembles more like melted ice cream, and it paints like dream! If you would like to see some samples of my illuminations, let me know, I can DM you some links to them :)

[@aleksandrawocher4665]

This is an incredible piece of art!!! If you can, please do more videos like this!!! I’m glad you are feeling better!!!!

I absolutely love this piece! Jinx is such a great character and her duality fits the duality of the medium you used. I'm so glad you enjoyed this art piece! And Arcane was freaking amazing!

Absolutely gorgeous! I think it says something about your talent, that you can create something so stunning with little knowledge of said medium. It's artists like you who inspire others.

[@guardianofkeeps1949]

Wow the gouache looks so good, that's crazy how vibrant it is that it can act like acrylics but also watercolours. They seem so forgiving compared to the other two mediums too. I'm doing an artwork for my art assignment that uses watercolours and I'm finding them challenging as they target my weaknesses, mainly impatience. Gouache might be the medium for me. The artwork also turned out awesome, you captured the character so well. I did think the colours were icky at first for the skin tone but then I remembered her skin tone is that colour so ... great job!

[@sailorxyz]

Jinx holds a special place in my heart since she was one of my first mains in LOL (before I decided ADC wasn't for me and that support was my jam) I still need to watch Archane because I absolutely love the LOL lore. But all that aside this piece is amazing, you make me itch to run and create using my Arteza Goache paints (I also have their acrylics, their markers, their colored pencils, sketchbooks, canvas, and art pens and each has been a joy to work with). I hope you keep creating using these!

[@leticiacampos1044]
