Gouache Tutorial: Let’s Talk Supplies

[@amateur_boba831]

Actually it depends for the white color because the first one is regular white which is used for blending and the other one is used for highlights because it's for of a opaque type but you do you

[@zijing9548]

Oh I didn't know that , does it say on the package which one is which though?

[@sgtea2892]

@@zijing9548 yeah, zinc white is the one for blending, titanium white is for the highlights. i heard that for that specific set, the names of the colors are on the bottom of the paint cup ^^

[@zijing9548]

@@sgtea2892 thanks alot for explaining, that's very helpful 👍 hope you're having a nice day/night 😊

[@chonkycharlie]

Yeah i came here to say this! One is more opaque than the other and the less opaque one is good for slightly adjusting the value without massively altering everything. Thats me coming at it with oil painter brain so it might also have differemt uses in gouache that I havent figured out yet

[@leandraleo281]

OOOOOOHHHHHHHHH

[@cassandratadaya2766]

I use regular pencil when I use gouache and just erase it slightly with kneaded eraser what's left can be covered with the paint.I also like to dry out my gouache and use it like a watercolor I like the results either way because it's vibrant.

[@ShilasSpellboundCreations]

I do that too

[@chonkycharlie]

Double check your whites! Most himi gouache palettes come with pearl white and titanium white, which look the same alone, but one is more transparent.

[@arshini8766]

Im sorry to bother u ... but the two whites are two different shades... actually one is a lil transparent apt for mixing colours and the other is more opaque, used for highlights

[@petrac2840]

In the 56 set it's actually two titanium white. Don't know why, seems like it would be nice to get the both ones but no 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@aeiou1072]

​​@@petrac2840Before opening my himi palette (the same one in the video) I investigated, both have different numbers in their QR codes, investigate and yes, both are for different uses. I'm sorry if my English isn't very good, I'm learning, I speak Spanish hehe.

[@pumpkin5919]

Okay, the watercolor pencil tip is genius!

[@charliepea]

Gouache is opaque so you can cover the graphite quite easily. Did that countless times on my plates. Just that don't use beyond 2B level or the graphite will smear.

[@theartkettle]

HIMI is on my wishlist! They look so creamy and gelly like! Can't wait to try them out! :)

[@aeiou1072]

The two whites that come in the palette have their different uses, one is called "Magic blanded" It is used to mix with other colors. And the other one, I don't remember its name but its pigment is even more processed and purer, so it can be used for painting like any other paint, it is more opaque. Research on the Internet!

[@gengloom4370]

Is the gouache palette supposed to dry out when you store it?

[@edenisok894]

@@incensive5020 I Peel it halfway but only a few colours. Saving the rest for later lol.

[@incensive5020]

@@edenisok894 Yeah! I heard about someone doing that with their white colors, opening only one and leaving the other sealed so it doesn’t dry out, its a good idea :)

[@petrac2840]

It will dry out through time yes. There are lots of videos about it if you search for it. But from what I've seen, it seems to be OK for up to a year if properly stored and sealed. You might need to moisturize and stir some to get the new feeling. But mostly it seemed to be in quite good condition in that time span. If you take care of it and open it up and spray it every few months it should not dry out.

[@Ohdangit12]

Just mist it every other day when your not using it so they don’t dry out.

[@Meowycarr]

@@petrac2840 wont it be less opaque if you add water everytime?

[@Jay13340]

yes pleeaaase make a color theory tutorial!

[@art.life_color]

Beautiful work!!!

[@Andey94]

White gouache works best when fresh, agreed. I learned to only add white gouache to my palette only when i need it :X

[@therealsteel__]

I owned himi 24 gouache paints and they're incredible 👌

[@vickymak1705]

I have this set! I got it for free bc my mums co-worker didn’t want it

[@BreezusSneezus]

Himi is a really low quality gouche, but the better ones come in tubes so if it's the aesthetic of the cubes then you do you

[@shinamonbutter]

What about the rest of the supplies

[@artsyynuha]

Please do a colour theory video

[@kanirasuli8391]

Where to buy refills?

[@Kili_1701]

I recently started gouache and while I should've expected it to happen, I was severely bothered that graphite will absolutely be a pain to work with. I already experienced it with acrylics but I love graphite and I do nearly everything with them. I kinda hoped theyd just stay. Well they didnt. Imma try watercolor pens next!

[@kavitagangwani6623]

please make a colour theory video

[@cherryheartss]

what kind of sketch book would I use when painting gouache?

[@skeletonwarrior9393]

What do you spray it with? Water?

[@satwinderlegha7206]

Hi can you link the paint in the description please

[@user-mo6eb5et7t]

WOW👍

[@kashudesu270]

So if we’re constantly keeping it wet and the lid doesn’t 100% seal off, how do we prevent mold? I’ve let mine dry out and just spray it heaps when i go to use it. Most of them revive fine.

[@aeiou1072]

I recommend buying himi miya spray, they are special for these paints and are anti-cracks, moisturize them, and prevent mold. ^^ And this way you won't have to use water every time you use them, as over time they will lose their original consistency.

[@Tiger_Clawzz]

I THOUGHT IT WAS JELLO IN THE THUMBNAIL

[@Shiny_pallette]

Which sketchbook do you use

[@acesinger6092]

Woah…is Hickman actually your last name? Because that’s *my* last name too!

[@Zxrah_]

Can anyone tell me what brand are those white brushes..?

[@Itz_Tahshin_]

I have a question. so I see people spraying water on their himi guache pallettes.. doesn't that damage the paint? please let me know as I'm new to guache

[@parthrao9443]

No gouache pallets and colors are needed to be kept moist so it doesn't dry out 😊 If you are not using paint still spray water every few weeks or if not needed then don't open particular color this way you can store them for like up to a year Have a good journey with gouache😄😄

[@aeiou1072]

Yes, but there is a possibility that they will grow mold and lose their consistency. You can buy the special spray for that brand "Himi miya", so it will not lose its original consistency over time. But another cheaper option is to use distilled water. ^^

[@LisaBurt-uv3kc]

Is gouache like oil painting?

[@terrirocheleau2504]

I have these and didn’t use for two weeks and now they are all cracked and dry. I have drenched with water but they are still cracked and not as creamy as when I first got them. Do you have any suggestions??

[@shawn9388]

How do you keep them from molding I have some and they always do even when I make sure their sealed

[@AlexRekrut]

I think I have the same one but it doesn't matter if it's HMI or it does I mean like is there any difference

[@charlottehall7542]

Where do you get that kind of gouache? I have some tubes but haven’t found what you have??

[@aeiou1072]

It is a Chinese brand, "Himi Miya Gouache", they are of very good quality, I recommend them. ^^

[@daisywayy]

Can we use gouache in canvas?

[@cassandratadaya2766]

I tried using goache in canvas and it did turn out quiet good but I think it looks better on watercolor paper

[@JayBird-Hate]

Regular gouache wouldn't work well on canvas. It would perform way better on watercolour paper. I think you can use acrylic gouache on canvas though

[@user-ff3cu8sq7y]

I'm new to gouache. does this himi gouache needs a arabic gum gouache medium?

[@L01re_27]

Do you spray you couche set with regular tap water or distilled water?

[@lunaskisses]

I'm sure it's just tap.
