Myriam Tillson hello You have 2 raw umbers on the worksheet pdf. I’m having a hard time telling which one is the wrong one lol

[@jasminjwhite]

Bree T Raw umber is the darker one on the bottom row of the worksheet. Raw sienna is the lighter one under the titanium white on the worksheet.

[@myriamtillson]

@@breet9499 I do? Ah damn, I'm sorry!! The raw umber is the darker one (middle column) and the lighter one in the right column is raw sienna :)

[@Rosa-wk9yj]

[@stars0215]

I've been using Strathmore Mixed Media paper to practice gouache and I was wondering why I was struggling to keep the strokes even. Now I know that a toothier paper is ideal for beginners. Thank you!

[@myriamtillson]

I hope that will help! Thank you for watching :)

[@ethylschmidt2281]

Would love 💓 to be as talented as you.

[@RadishTheFool]

Oh, your advice about brushes makes so much sense! I can't wait to try gouache with non-watercolour brushes, and see what difference it makes. Thank you so much!

[@sunshinemishasmommy5352]

This video was really useful to me..I have never used gouache and was never comfortable with watercolors and gouache sounds like a good middle ground..I've mostly used acrylics,but have been wanting to try other mediums..this video helped me understand gouache a little better,I'll watch your other videos on it too 😊

[@dagnysams2225]

Got my Himi gouache from the mail and now I'm so excited to start my painting journey!

[@Sandra-in9cz]

I bought my first set of gouache (Caran D'ache 15 pan set) and I'm nervous, but excited to start experimenting! Thank you for the great tips!

[@sandraruberto8806]

This video was so perfectly explained and it has all the main informations you need to know about gouache and to start working with gouache!! It’s seriously so well made and put together, thank you so much for sharing Myriam! This is going to be so useful to any gouache beginners! 💕✨ can’t wait to watch the next videos :)

[@fionabromby4546]

Please pronounce the word correctly French word Goo ash. Got it used to be designers gouache. Flat colour it will always be streaky if blended. I only ever use for highlights on watercolour

[@sueallen952]

@@fionabromby4546 I was pulled up by an art teacher for pronouncing it goo ache she said its pronounced the same as squash but with a g. It's not pronounced gwash either as in this video

[@Bobasketches]

So excited for this series!! Today was the first time I’ve actually considered trying gouache out and then you post this. Love how the universe works ❤️

[@claudiabattel4024]

This is what I a call.a well done video. Straight to the point, rich in information and well organised! Good job!

[@emmari0601]

Loving this and looking forward to your next lesson! Thank you SO much! Best regards from Norway :D

[@laurelcook9078]

I got some for my 18th birthday and brought it in with me in high school during art class because our final was to create a series using any medium we wanted and my teacher asked “What’s gouache?” I let her use some of mine on a scrap paper and she fell in love with it instantly. I painted 4 mini landscapes from my mind on mixed media paper and got an A+. I also brought my Copic markers, gel pens, and watercolor pencils with me because people at my table wanted to use them but my school could only afford crayola brand art supplies. (Actually they gave my teacher a budget of $2 per student for supplies. She had to cut into her own paycheck to provide us with supplies.) It’s sad but people really loved the new types of supplies.

[@anavidmar4005]

This was great. Thank you. :-) I mostly paint in watercolour and acrylic, but I have been thinking about trying out gouache. I'm looking forward to watching the series.

[@gothicpotato8629]

Thank you so much that was very helpful :) I’m a textiles student and I’m finding the drawing and painting side of my course challenging. This was nicely explained in a relaxing manner - perfect!

[@janetnielsen6071]

This was my first class and I'm brand new to painting as well as gouache. I'm so glad I watched it. Thank you.

[@mariohein1560]

So well organized and timed very helpful - finally, a tutorial that actually defines the difference between water-colour, gouache and acrylic - charmingly and professionally presented too!

[@raymondlang]

Love using my Designers Gouache, and been painting with them for many years. I paint from vintage 100+ years old Christmas postcards, and 40s /50s Christmas cards. Usually use 300gsm paper. They are expensive compared to other mediums but I like them. Also use them for painting from old American comic book covers from the 40s to the 60s era, and they end up poster size. Love the videos Myriam. RAY LANG in the UK

[@artistkookie1077]

Omg u have the whole shop of brushes

[@myriamtillson]

Haha! I wish! I was payed by Strathmore to create this video series, so they provided me with lots of brushes, which was awesome :)

[@rachelgonzales3184]

Thank you so much!!! I have been painting for over 50 years in mostly watercolor and have wondered what exactly gouache was and how to use it. Also, your overview of the brushes and colors was very helpful. I already have most of the same tools and paints, and I am excited about working with gouache.
