An Abstract Gouache Experiment 🌈 |Testing supplies from Meeden Art 🎨

Today I'm trying out some Meeden gouache paints and watercolor paper. For a budget priced brand I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and vibrancy of the paints and the way that the paper took the mixed media.
I'm using gifted products from Meeden Art in this video! If you're interested in trying out these supplies for yourself, check out the links below ⬇ ((affiliate links)) ⬇

Life doesn't get any better than watching you experiment with gouache (my fave) and create . . . while sitting on my sand dune in Baja sipping my morning coffee. Then off to my sketchbook to fiddle! THANK YOU!

I love your comment about mixing on the paper. I always love my mixing palette mess and just never thought of transferring that joy directly to the paper. But now that I’ve done it once, I am hooked. 🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️ Also, I’m totally hooked on your KZbin channel. I will be picking up your book in Kindle format as soon as I finish seeing how this gouache painting turns out.

I received a set of Meeden Acrylics for Mothers Day and absolutely love using them. Colours are vibrant and a little paint goes a long wait. Thanks for this review and your content is most informative and inspiring.

[@angiegiallourakis3787]

thank for sharing. next time I purchase gouache, I will check out the Meeden brand. I do have their acrylic paints. They work pretty well for me.

[@tracyverdugo]

Wonderful! ❤️

[@sabinelloyd8532]

Fascinating to see gouache used in a very different way. I love the combination with acrylic ink.

[@tracyverdugo]

Thank you so much! I guess that’s what happens when you don’t really know the “proper” way to use something. You just make it up and see what works! ❤️😃

There are very few reviews on this product, so thank you for posting this. I picked up the Meeden gouache as my beginner set, but haven't cracked it open yet. Now I know a bit more about what to expect. This set performed well in lightfastness testing over on Sarah Burns' channel recently, if you're concerned about such things.

[@tracyverdugo]

Thanks Lesley, that’s good to know!

Gorgeous 😍

I’m still pouting like a baby because you got to meet Maru Godas! 😂❤ You talked me into it😂 I am missing my gouache as I left it at home, and will be up here on dad’s farm till the driveway is fixed because it’s too washed out for dad to drive it. I really like Meeden products and have a few of their palettes and pastel drawers and they are fabulous quality and much cheaper than other versions. The first watercolour set I had was the Meeden 48 half pan set and for $23 AUD you can’t go wrong with it IMO I’ve bought so many sets for my friends too!

[@tracyverdugo]

I’m trying to convince Maru to come do a workshop in Husky! You’ll be first to know of it happens! That’s great you’re already using Meeden. I was really surprised at the quality vs price ❤️😊

Thank you so much for doing this experiment. I’ve been wondering about gouache and how I’d use it. What size of brush are you using? I think I need one.

[@tracyverdugo]

You are so welcome! It’s a one inch flat brush. Not expensive. You can usually find them in a golden taklon set :)

[@JaneNatoli1]

Love love love! Please can I ask what brush you are using? Xxx

[@tracyverdugo]

You are welcome! It’s a one inch flat brush, a cheapie. Look up golden Taklon sets and you’ll find them. :)

[@JaneNatoli1]

@@tracyverdugo thanks Tracy :-)))

[@juliepackham6669]

I haven't used gouache in ages. Gonna break it back out. And I Love the idea of this pad being glued on all four sides. Did you find it buckled?

[@tracyverdugo]

It didn’t buckle at all!

[@melaniefox4602]

Thank you for this generous gift of witnessing your experimental process with this gouache Tracey. I absolutely loved it. On a separate note I wonder if you would mind sharing what overhead set up you use for these videos as it seems to work very well. Thank you x

[@tracyverdugo]

You are so welcome! I’m going to do a studio tour soon and will share my filming setup then. It’s quite basic. My husband made me a contraption that sits on my working table!

[@melaniefox4602]

Thank you so much ~ I look forward to the tour and other videos ❤
