I'm so impressed how close to the end your painting comes together!! It's a super interesting process, and boom it's suddenly stunning. Thanks for all the advice and for sharing your experience

[@hambot]

Thank you so much! It's like that for my process most of the time, I'd get most of it done and then spend so much more time finishing up the details!

[@operacz_9327]

for me the real game changer was switching my paper for cotton one. Even the cheaper one that i did'n really like for my watercolours made my life so much easier. It blends great but also layering isn't that much of a problem anymore

[@urja2790]

that was fascinating to watch i didn't even realise when it transformed from the watercolor to the gouache stage! 😍

[@hambot]

Thank you urja! ❤️

[@linlearnsart4935]

The gouache consistencies are such great help! There's less guessing and more direction with that information as a beginner.

[@johnkanzler6646]

12:25 remarkable how much this layer lightened when it dried up at a few seconds after this timestamp. I would’ve been afraid to lay down something so bold on top of my first washes, but it worked perfectly once it dried. Anticipating these value shifts will take a lot of practice, i can see!

[@kristinarallos4365]

at the end of the video, i realized i've been listening to it very eagerly more than my online classes. My queries abt gouache are answered! Thank you! ❤️❤️ I hope u do watercolor next, cause i'm still struggling with watercolor. ಥ_ಥ

[@murraykriner9425]

A wonderful tutorial. Only once have I heard this medium so well spoken of for its illustrative nuance and versatility for finish or study work. The chemistry of your color selections has more to do with the working qualities than you know. A simple thing like paper choices will often impact immensely the color saturation and color key that is ultimately achieved in the final piece, as sizing agents are mixed with different starches to create the paper your painting on. The use of common glycerin can tincture the hue, but aide in helping the flow quality while reactivating your colors for blending one or two earlier passages previously laid. Glad I found your content today. Its ever a joy to hear your speaking on a media you truly treasure using. Have a great weekend.

[@murraykriner9425]

@artofaauditor my earlier reply was not accepted, so I'll conserve content and say that only the these materials suffer from aging over a time, with unmouted works being susceptible to blistering, cracking, and some darkening with time, as the inert fillers oxidize with heating and light exposure being the culprit. Its a common problem with certain pigments and vehicles like the Gum Arabic that are used in most water-based media that hasn't an acrylic carrier. Its the reason galleries and museums circulate their collections throughout the season of display, in the vain hope that their state of preservation is unchanged. Warm regards, and very best wishes.

[@RamoArt]

The reason why Gouache is commonly referred to as "opaque watercolor" is the fact that it uses the same binder as watercolor - gum arabic. The way you paint skin with Gouache is stunning 😍

[@tengoarcher5787]

но в любом случае, это две разные краски, так как акварель буквально своим название подразумевает, что это прозрачная краска, которая просвечивает бумагу через слой акварели.

[@jackys4299]

You’re too good at explaining! I was having so much trouble with the different consistencies and understanding how to put them on paper. Thank you! 😊

[@NikNakz]

What I love about gouache is the graphic look it gives once you layer them. Another great painting Ham 🥰

[@gxbriellaaa]

THIS IS THE BEST TIPS/TUTORIAL IVE EVER SEEN!! THANK U SO MUCH!!

[@angeleatan2662]

Thanks for this video! I found the 5 different variations to Gouache very useful as I'm a beginning and was stressing over how to properly use it! Thank you 🥰

[@flowerss.992]

My gouache set arrive the other day and I’ve been finding tutorials. Thank you for this ate!

[@colourmequaint9690]

This helps a lot....and explains why I'm having trouble with my miya! Thank you for your generosity😍

[@artwithmo2161]

I’ve needed this video! Thank you so much for the tips on technique 😀

[@mrtohonoart]

I’m happy you brought up Mary’s channel because I followed the same process from starting with a “tea” to “butter” consistency. Nice work!

[@Tsuyu87]

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge about gouache!! I'm starting with it and it's been really useful!!☺️

[@Cre-Art]

That's just beautiful. It's fascinating to see the changes take place. Sometimes it seems almost "wrong" but a few more strokes and it's perfect. So much to learn... :)

[@cloudblinky6189]

Your sketches and paints are so beautiful!! ☺️💖

[@neithersin925]

I really love your art,you are insanely creative❤️

[@darakhshanhasan3955]

This is the most helpful video for gouache painting on KZbin...thank you so much;)

[@Linesnstrokes]

I am so glad I watched this video before starting my gauche.. Super helpful. Thanks a lot❤❤

[@FelineFurKin]

This was very helpful, I hadn’t realised that about using different consistencies in order.

[@naeillie]

i’m currently learning how to use gouache right now and this was really helpful. thank you so much !!

[@AmbiCahira]

"Burnt sienna is such a beautiful color" I agree! It's why my red cavapoo puppy in my pfp was named Sienna. I just had to. 😍 This tutorial was exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much for making this video!

[@kerendn]

You paint so beautifully. Thank you for sharing.

[@artgeometrix6346]

This is stunning. Excellent job.

[@Kokose]

the reason gouache is so opaque, reactivates much easier and why it has matt finish is one simple ingredient - chalk. Depending on a brand amount of chalk within your paints can vary. If you add powdered chalk to your tube watercolours it most likely will turn into gouache!

[@glumsulk]

Thats only for the cheaper brands.

[@artifexmom3824]

OMG! That’s pretty awesome. I will try gouache ☺️❤️ God bless you.🙏🏻

[@kirstenc9943]

The skin is soooooooo sooooo sooooo good T.T I also love the overall color combination

[@Webban1988]

This video was really helpful! Thank you so much :D

[@getthatkatching3252]

I wish I knew these when I was still a beginner!

[@hambot]

Gouache is such a hard medium to get into but once you get the hang of it, it's so rewarding!

[@EnjoyDrawingwithMary]

This video is amazing! just found you and joined ;) I've never tried gouache (exept white for my watercolor paintings) and I enjoyed wathing this! I think they are similar to watercolors... you gave a great tips for blending, thank you for sharing this! and your portrait painting looks beautiful! have a wonderful day! Marija 💖😀💖

[@caterinanarracciartista-ink]

beautiful! I'll try too! Bello! proverò anch'io

[@CaptainFutureman]

Wonderful tutorial! While watching this I was wondering what would happen if I switched out the gouache for watercolors but kept the gouache white. It kind of looks like the process could work in pretty much the same way. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

[@cyntiagadingillustration]

So pretty❤️❤️❤️

[@swetanandy5579]

It's like she can cry anytime but I love the art

[@jcwt_pdx]

[@dominiquebonutan6222]

I need this. Thank you!!

[@hambot]

Yayyy! Also we almost have the same name!

[@dominiquebonutan6222]

OMG! I didn't expect that. That is so cool 🤩

[@meru-rc7ur]

hello Ham this is so far the most helpful gouache tutorial that is so beginner-friendly that even an airhead like me could understand it. thank you, really. i, for the life of me couldn't figure out how to work with more opaque paint and try to purchase gouache to transition myself from watercolour to acrylic or even oil paint. I usually put too much paint without the staging as you did in this video because i thought gouache's matte finish can be achieved directly by using the creamy consistency. hopefully that makes sense (?) anyway super helpful and your work always inspires me to sit down and paint. thank you

[@alicia-lobo]

I think it depends on what you're going for. I often do illustrations with well-delimited flat areas of colour (see Tom Haugomat for a similar style - although he mainly uses acrylic markers) and for that I tend to go straight into cream consistency, which works just fine for me. When I'm doing a more "rendered" piece, with softer transitions between colours (like this one from Ham) I tend to start at the milk or coffee level and go up from there. I don't have the patience for tea, but maybe that would help 😂

[@meru-rc7ur]

@@alicia-lobo I see, thanks for the insight! I'm new to painting so its nice getting some helpful tips from people who has more experience. I think i also dont have the patience for the tea, after all, so i might as well try to have a more well-defined areas :)

[@alicia-lobo]

@@meru-rc7ur You're welcome, happy to share my limited knowledge! Tbh even though I started painting a couple of years ago I can't make much time for practice so I still feel like a beginner. I feel there is so much to learn at once when you start painting (colour, composition, how to mix paint to the right consistency and colour, how to handle brushes,...) that it can get a bit overwhelming. The flat style I mentioned before has helped me by letting me focus on a couple of those things and leaving out others like blending and gradients. Now that I feel pretty comfortable with handling the paint and brushes I'm also learning the more rendered style, but I still really enjoy the flat one. I think it's a great idea to start with something like that :)

[@Bavubuka]

Fantastic.

[@discobeatbox]

Stunning

[@hambot]

Kat!!❤️❤️❤️

[@fuzzydragons]

nice helpful gouache overview :)

[@victorialuzarquines7818]

hey ham ur videos are awesome. Will u be able to make a real time portrait?

[@elaineee1996]

Yeyy finsally

[@DJSHADDY2K7]

I was watching your video and I say the goucher paint is kind what i'm look for.

[@writeasrainy]

May I please know how you keep gouache from drying on your palette/mixing surface while painting? Thank you! I love your channel. :)

[@andreamanzano8561]

Im currently studying gouache. Its annoying sometimes cause i cant get it right. But I always end up trying again because it looks so good when it dries (kahit di naman maganda ung pinipaint HAHAHA) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS I LEARNED A LOT. I'll try these techniques tomorrow. I love learning and watching your videos 🤗💖

[@melizacandelario6084]

Hi, Ham! Do you do portrait commissions? If so, can you make a video or give us tips on how to start? I'm thinking of trying to do gouache portrait commissions but i'm totally lost with the pricing, scanning or shipping :(( Thank you, I love your art so much!!❣️

[@chelei9248]

Amazing

[@Samthe1stbob]

This looks so much easier than water color. How much layering would you say you've done to get the finished product?

[@wm8338]

Hello ate can u give a tutorial on how to paint the eye, I'm struggling to paint the eye kasi, btw I rlly love your paintings! : D

[@haruchi8196]

THANK YOU SO MUCH💖💖💖 I learned a lot from your video 😊 Words are not enough to express what I feel now.. Im just a beginner when it comes to gouache portrait and im really not that interested to learning it before but now im more than interested Hahaha and im joining a local online contest from our country and its just a small contest and yeah. Im looking forward to it. Deadline is 08.10 and its 08.07 here now and i still havent posted mine... Anyways This video really helped me understand gouache. Thank you so much.

[@larissaburmann2152]

Incrível!

[@cazkiwinz4300]

Use a snap lock bag instead of clingwrap on your Jelly gouache (put the middle palette on, put the whole thing in a snap lock and then click your top lid on… mine haven’t dried in 2 years and I’ve never used water or glycerin with it 🤗

[@mariaperr9963]

grazie

[@CozyCreates]

My thoughts for a dry palette with gouache if you really want to make one I say at least use fresh white.

[@KiamART]

thank you so much for the video! I star to draw just 1 year ago and in the last month i star exploring color. Gouache are really attractive for me; i'm going to follow your advice and star to buy the himi brand just to experiment a little bit :D and in the future i'd like to try winson and newtor brand that some people suggested me! ps: i love you're art

[@AM-rh2fy]

Can you tell me if these are environmentally friendly and non-toxic options ? If not can you direct me to some options of gouache paint that are non-toxic and eco-friendly ? I also would like to know how safe it is to use these indoors or should they be used with a window open, ventilation system in place, or is it best/safest to use them in an outdoor environment ? I am sorry for so many questions but as someone interested in starting analog paintings rather than digital paintings I want to choose only the best options as I don't have the best environment for ventilation currently and I don't have anything like a studio for painting.... I also want to ensure my artist activities will not cause harm to the environment as much as possible. Thank you for your time...
