I've seen others use a palette knife to put what colors they need onto their palette to keep the colors clean. 😊

[@Nianiani]

Great idea! :D

[@RadishTheFool]

It's super helpful to see how much paint you take out of the cups, and what you're doing on the pallette. Thank you so much!!

[@avrilbrielletarver8960]

You are such a talented person!❤️ I love all your paintings and videos😊 they are all so beautiful and stunning!!💖💖💖 Love yaa😊❤️❤️❤️

[@Nianiani]

thank youuu ^_^ ❤️

[@sabbyeg2325]

I am excited for the tutorial the flowers looked really nice

[@Nianiani]

Coming soon! :D

[@a.ravichandran1513]

Wow ❤️ I like colour palette u made . And the flowers was so nice👍💗

Thank you so much 😊

Me too! :D:D

The pallate is awesome and colorful. The flowers and leaves too are beautiful 🤩🤩

I love the colours tooo! :D:D:D

[@tallapakaneelima5439]

You are the best of many artists I see

[@Nianiani]

Aw thanks! There are way better artists around though :p I still have plenty to learn :D

[@happyhoney5002]

Woah!!!!! Nia... You are superb LOVE you Dear❤️

[@Nianiani]

Thank you so much, as always ^__^

[@yvonnehusic9879]

I just bought this same set! Hope you do more videos using this set.

[@Nianiani]

Haven't yet, I'm still thinking what I type of paintings I can use it for :p

[@katiebechtel9320]

I would love to see a comparison video of the two just to see the difference even though there is a major price difference. I love how this looks on the craft paper!

[@Nianiani]

There's a video showing the colour difference between arteza, wn and himi kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaO3e3-liM14hbM but in terms of the texture I think its hard to show on camera, but it's definitely different :p

[@lottylouart]

I’ve seen some you tubers take out paint with a palette knife and seal the container up again to keep them fresh. Just an idea, definitely could see them drying. Great details and enjoyed seeing all the colours! 😍👍 beautiful pastel flowers too!

[@Nianiani]

Thank you for the suggestion! Will definitely try it :)

[@drawplet]

OOoohh I've been seeing Himi jelly gouache everywhere! Loveee that swatch and floral illustration at the end too!!

[@Nianiani]

Hehe thank youu! Still don't know how to use gouache properly though xD

[@drawplet]

@@Nianiani I'm sure you'll get it real soon tho! since it's probably easier than watercolor? haha

@@Nianiani hahahaha always a learning curve for everything! I've been trying to do some landscape for youtube and boy i failed so badly :(((((((((

[@Nianiani]

@@drawplet trueee! But I thought you'd thrive at landscapes since you're so good on judging to not overwork your paintings. Whereas even with a conscious head I still overwork everything >

[@Nianiani]

Thank you so much 😀

[@haripriyasharma6215]

@@Nianiani welcome ♥️😃

[@barbaram5787]

Thank you Nia. I didn't realize mold could grow on watercolors, it's good to know. I usually leave mine open to dry because it just seemed a cleaner way to store them. I usually watch your videos much sooner but this has been a terrible week. I look forward to next week's in watercolor though. It looks very pretty.

[@Nianiani]

Yeaaaa I learnt this from Teoh Yi Chie's Channel. I tend to open them for a day before closing so it doesn't happen to me. But considering with this gouache we try to keep it wet, I thought that it could be a concern. Sorry to hear that you're not having a good week. Hope everything gets better soon ❤️

[@marsbeads]

You are doing the right thing. Just let them air dry before you cover them or close the lid on a palette box and should be fine. .

[@Sonasonapt]

Superb Nia the flowers are really awesome and the leaves too... I enjoyed the painting so much Good luck👍

Thank youu :))

[@ranjitaguru8357]

Seeing the gouache is so satisfying and your drawing is so good you should do more gouache paintings and plz try poster paints. I have got them for Christmas and wanted to try them.

[@Nianiani]

Oh thats great! Poster paints are actually similar to gouache but more opaque from what I've heard, so you can paint something similar using them :)

[@ranjitaguru8357]

@@Nianiani thank you so much nia you encourage me a lot.

[@JVan-yd3zz]

The flowers are adorable! 🤩🤩🤩 Other than that I've got nothing to say, hahahah. I know zilch about gouache and it's staying that way for some time.

[@Nianiani]

Hahaha me ttooooo :(( I have gouache but I barely use it hence why there's no tutorials on it yet xD Thank you for your constant support ^_^

[@yvonnehusic9879]

The flowers are beautiful you painted. Question: to keep paints moist, could one use a piece of plastic wrap placed over the paints before closing the pan?

[@Nianiani]

Yes :D A few people recommended using cling wrap before closing the lid

[@marymorgan2221]

Lovely flowers, pretty cols on

[@Nianiani]

Thank you ^_^

[@julianeves6368]

Perfeita demais

[@Nianiani]

Thank youu!

[@larachan1043]

Thank you for the video. Do you think we can mix the colors with other brands of white gouache? as the white usually runs out faster.

[@Nianiani]

yepp you can :))

[@jiruannu]

Thanks for this Nia! I was just contemplating whether to buy one or not since it's on sale in an online shop here in the Philippines. Btw I saw them selling a Himi Spray for the gouache paint to keep it moist and to avoid molds I think Also the painting at the end is great ❤️

[@Nianiani]

Oooo thats interesting! Thank you for the info! :D:D I'll have a little search

[@jiruannu]

@@Nianiani you're welcome 😊❤️

[@cocoroach_ok]

Love your video as always. I used to have it, but I gave it to my cousin. I didn't use it very often. As someone who did art like twice a month, I don't really think I can make a good use out of it. Also I went back my hometown rn and I don't know how to bring this paint with me anyway😂

[@Nianiani]

that whole case is HEAVY! So it's understandable hahahaha

[@yvonnehusic9879]

Will you be doing a full tutorial using this gouache? Please. Thanks you! 💕

[@Nianiani]

Haven't experimented further with this but we'll see :p

[@elhannah2765]

The flowers at the end are really cute! also what was the first art medium you tried apart from drawing?

[@Nianiani]

In my country it was mandatory to use oil pastels at school. So I guess that was the first medium just like a lot of other Indonesians xD

[@Jozzz_3]

Hi Nianiani you painting's are so elegant and adorable 💜I follow you painting's. Specially husky dog painting's card is superb 🌙

What’s the brush you started with using? I see you wrote Giorgione in your description but that’s the himi brush right?

[@Nianiani]

Nope. It's Giorgiorne :) Himi brush has white bristles

[@thinaespinosa7645]

nice

Thanks

[@maharain]

Color chart-nya ada di balik tempatnya, Kak. Wkwkwk. XD Aku juga waktu itu malah nyari di Google buat swatch. Eh, pas iseng lihat bagian bawah tempatnya--gegara kepo; eh, ada dong! 😂 Ngakak banget kalau inget.

[@Nianiani]

Oh ya ampunn! Tadi baru check belakangnya ternyata ada sticker kecil! hahahaha yah salah deh nama2nya kl gitu xD Thank you infonya hahaha

[@maharain]

@@Nianiani Hehe, sama-sama Kak. 😆 Lucu itu color chart-nya tersembunyi. Kekeke. Ngomong-ngomong, makasih ya Kak, kanal Kakak sangat menginspirasi buat mainan waco. Suka banget sama gaya gambar Kak Nia. 💜

[@erinbosse]

I did get a colour chart and both the colour chart and the label said the pink was called purple too. It confuses me as well.

[@Nianiani]

yeaa it ws odd xD

[@yellowmango09]

May I ask, when did you first start painting? What made you feel that painting is your passion?

[@Nianiani]

I've always been interested in arts and crafts since I was really young.. I can't really remember when or give you an age but I've always been scribbling as a child and I started drawing more and more in junior school :)

[@yellowmango09]

@@Nianiani wow that is so many years of experience! No wonder you can draw so well! I hope you never stop creating such beautiful artworks✨

@@yellowmango09 thank you for your encouragement! It was just a thing I'd like to do for fun as a kid. Well.. I still find it fun now actually 😆

[@gantzleny6074]

winsor newton's gouache is actually a designer gouache! it's a little lower quality than artist grade ;) they're actually a really good brand to compare to other gouache since most people usually start with winsor newton gouache :)

[@Nianiani]

Ah really! I didn't know that :D Thanks for the info! I thought designer's and artist is the same grade, silly me. What are examples of artist grade gouache you'd recommend? I find that WN is very good already compared to others I've used.

[@gantzleny6074]

@@Nianiani i haven't really used any artist gouache but i heard holbein and schmincke horadam are really good :))

Aku pikir WN khusus artist grade krn student gradenya WN kan Cotman, jd asume WN designer's udh artist grade 😂😂😂 schmincke dulu pernah jual watercolornya di paperclip but last time I went there, they were all gone 😨 what brand do you prefer?

@@sayali7773 Maybe you can search from alibaba.com instead of Amazon. I'm guessing it would be much cheaper since it's from China and Himi is a Chinese brand www.alibaba.com/product-detail/MIYA-HIMI-24-color-gouache-paint_1600118363984.html?spm=a2700.wholesale.deiletai6.5.7a301061GfYtk3

I’ve been looking at these for months but still I’ve not bought them. What’s putting me off purchasing these are: cannot see where to buy refills open stock, not lightfast and dry solid over a period of months, student grade, streaky on the paper. The weird thing is I’m still watching reviews on these paints. 🤔

Yea that really depends on which country you're at, and you right about all those points, but they are satisfying to look at xD
