How to make gouache paint at home?

[@carlas.artnook]

Yes!! Catherine!! So good to see!! And how fulfilling is to see you making the gouache instead of buying 😍👏🏽🫶🏽

[@crafterine]

Thank you so much for your kind words 😍

[@Daallaall]

Beautiful! I would recommend using Glass Mullers from the beginning instead of Palette knifes as I believe would be easier.

[@crafterine]

That’s a really good idea 🥰. When I use muller directly, I tend to get pigments all over my face, hence the palette knives 😂

I hope you wear a mask

​@@lynnefibreartagreed, I bought some masks just for crafting because without them I WILL sneeze and blow my beautiful mica powders everywhere 😢

How does the gouache dry in the pans with this recipe?

[@crafterine]

I noticed that they didn’t dry but rather are jelly like, similar to Himi gouache

[@شعبان-د6ط]

This paint after it dry can be reactivated with water like normal gouache?

[@crafterine]

Yes, it can reactivated easily. I tried pouring a little into a glass jar to verify if it gets dry, however it seems more like jelly gouache consistency, it didn’t dry completely so far for me.

[@angelawilliams4644]

So interesting! Does this gouache recipe reactivate with water after dried, like watercolor? Or does it behave much like the acrylic gouache paints that stay fixed?

[@crafterine]

Thank you ! And yes … it reactivates with water. Acrylic gouache is interesting but maybe someday I’ll figure out the recipe to make it too

[@pmnirmal6052]

Acrylic Gouache is different from the regular gouache! While regular gouache has gum arabic as binder (which get reactivated when you add water), in acrylic gouache, the binder is acrylic polymer which when dries converts itself into a thin plastic like film which cannot be dissolved again with water.

Btw i just discovered your channel and im in love with how you came up with those ideas they are so unique i dont think so there is anyone else making their own gouache But now i can make my own gouache rather than purchasing it from the shop beacsue they cost alot

[@crafterine]

Thank you for all the love! 🥰… absolutely! Try making them yourself, it’s so satisfying 😍. You’ll love it ❤️

[@amama1177]

@@crafterine yeah all try them out cause it seems so fun

[@crafterine]

I hope it turned out really good for you 🥰

[@NoorFatima-ou8si]

Hey! Does it work with metallic or Chameleon pigments?

[@crafterine]

Yes it does 😍… I’ve tried metallic pigments so far and they’re amazing 😻

[@Ghosty-Who]

Would love to do this but my cat sheds too much and likes to be at wherever i am 😢

[@crafterine]

Oh I’m so sorry to hear that. Maybe you can try in winters when your cat doesn’t shed 🥰

[@amama1177]

Is clove oil important can't we use any other oil then clove oil

[@crafterine]

Absolutely! I believe you can try essential oils with antibacterial properties. Clove oil worked for me well so I can recommend it.

Commercial honey is not real honey. That was sooo pale and runny

[@crafterine]

I can understand. Raw honey 🍯 would be a little hard to source. However, I use Acacian (Akazien) honey for making all my paints on this channel. This variant of honey does look pale 😊
