[@Fabii1770]

I love jelly gouache so much! 🥰 I sometimes love using them as jelly straight out of the cups, but when I travel I get a mini pallet, glob on some gouache, let it dry and use it as watercolor on the go with a water brush. You guys might enjoy them more if you let them dry out fully and then use reactivate them when you use them. I I personally love how gouache can be used similar to acrylic, very thick and gloopy to add texture, or it can be thinned out and used like watercolor. It is so Convenient for me as it is a medium that it can be reactivated when it dries, which allows me to make the gouache thinner by adding more water, or thicker using less to reactivate. But it was really fun to watch you guys use it again! 😊 As always, beautiful art work! Hope you’ll the gouache more as you use it, but if not its okay, this video was quite entertaining! 😂

I love watercolor and have been getting into gouache lately. I used to think I despised it until I got some better quality tubes and used them straight from the tube in a similar fashion as to watercolors (though more opaque) and the difference is astounding! I still LOVE watercolor more but gouache is winning it’s place in my heart.

You can easily rehydrate these back to new with warm water cover them then let them sit for 12-24 hours giving a little stir every 3-4 hours

Jelly gouache is just 'meh.' That was my first introduction to this medium, and I originally hated it until I bought a set of Caran D'Ache and suddenly realized this was how gouache was supposed to behave.

[@SquibbleDesign]

The round watercolour paper looks lovely, and the paintings turned out super cute!

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

I am so glad you guys kept your word and gave the Himi gouache another try. I am a beginner and I was gifted a 24 set, and I used them for the first time last week with a Skillshare tutorial and I really enjoyed using them. The brushes it came with were ok but the round one had an odd set of bristles so was nearly unusable. However, I still enjoyed using the paint and getting that flat matte quality to my first painting project. I look forward to becoming proficient with them. I love the Himi set. I think that for the price, it's a whole lot of paint, comes in a sturdy box, has a palette and brushes, so all in all I think it's a bargain, especially if, like me, you're a beginner. Thanks guys for the review. God bless you both and all those you love.

[@SilentRaven8]

Gouache is nice cuz its like acrylic paint, but works like watercolor I love himis paints tho, i have the small set n its my absolute favorite set ever

I think everyone has an art supply that they hate - for myself, I don't like oil pastels, soft pastels, charcoal and non professional colouring pencils. I have wanted to try jelly gouache for a while, but I've been working my way through other supplies.

[@Fabii1770]

@@sunshine-b3m5o If they are fully dry you should try to reactivate them! All you need is a spray bottle and water (maybe a bit of isopropyl alcohol to prevent molding, which I haven’t had issues with but it depends on where you live). Use a spray bottle and spray them all, or pour in a bit of water in each cup. Let it sit for a bit and when they soften mix them up with a pallet knife or popsicle stick or something. And then just mix. You might want to start with less water and add more until you get the consistency you like! It should be too hard to activate, just may take some time to mix, but personally I find it relaxing and rewarding. The paint will be ready to use in no time!

[@mjpete27]

I had a tube of gouache and it dried up! I pealed the tube off and put it in a ziplock bag with distilled water and I got it to re-activate and painted with it! Just like watercolor wash can be revived even years after drying, drying does not make it permanent like that.

[@dancetx]

Tbh I love how it looks and would probably enjoy painting with it

[@FelinePoetry]

Omg! I LOVE seeing you both step out of your comfort zones! I loved that Steph drew something bigger than usual and that Adamo used gouache in it’s intended pigmented form! I love it!!!

[@FelinePoetry]

Also, I definitely like the jelly gouache better after it has dried out. The gloopiness makes it way too hard to get a smooth layer for me.

[@blakenehring5805]

Hey there I am a professional artist that uses himi as my favorite medium- mostly because of the price I find if you use good paper and get it to the right consistency it works really well - I also enjoy using a LAYER Of GESSO down before this, making sure it is thin and then they work much better. I have the bigger pallet and in my opinion its worth it cause it comes with metallic and fluorescent colors that in my opinion have AMAZING pigmentation. Those two categories of paint really seem to show the overall quality of the paints in general- if those aren’t good the set isn’t worth it.

[@shiho15]

Hi! Your paintings look so good and vibrant on camera! That's a point for you both for getting adorable results with a medium you don't like 👍🏽

Yay stephtember!!!! As for videos, I'd much rather see you both have fun and enjoy so if you're gonna buy new art supplies splurge on something you think you'll like!!! The positive vibes always make my day 💛

[@artbyamyk1000]

Thank you for some smiles today, your videos always make me smile! I always enjoy seeing how people experience art supplies differently. I've really enjoyed my jelly gouache paints. From experimenting they have helped me with color mixing. Now if I use acrylic paint or acrylic gouache I have a better idea on colors, not real the paint itself since I'm still not very friendly with acrylics. xD

I found it best to use something dull like a palette knife, or a credit card to separate the pages of a watercolor block.

[@rosemiri_art]

I personally have never used jelly gouache, I have the Holbein Gouache tubes though I have thought about using the jelly ones once I am out of college no money phase. mostly because I discovered the hard way that some tubes are more watercolor based (therefore they don't layer on) where others are more acrylic based (more opaque and solid).

[@poibeans8341]

The Gouache rant really made me laugh but I must disagree that is doesn't take forever to dry on paper. :'D Tho I understand Adam here, when I got the HIMI Gouache I really disliked the consistency and how streaky the application was! So I let the paint dry out completely and now add water myself so I can get the consistency I want. It works well, but I think the best is still tube Gouache! You can apply as much as you need and thin it out if necessary. Also the consistency is far better than what you get in the jelly cups.

[@maryjane89]

So here's the thing about the jelly gouache... I have the same set as you, and even though I don't think I'll repurchase it, I have committed to using up all the paint. They're not as opaque as I would like, but I've found that using a tube of good quality mixing white makes a *huge* difference. I've also transferred (part of) them into a smaller airtight palette that I can travel with and doesn't take as much space on my desk.

Finally someone who shares my feelings on gouache! Don't forget Adam when it dries it's all dusty! That being said these paintings are really cute!

[@missypyxi]

if you use it at full strength instead of watering it down, it won't get dusty. If it's dusty that means you've diluted the binder too much. Gouache is meant to be opaque.

My friend showed me that if you add gouache paint to a cup then add enough water to it that it makes for little dip pen ink. I don’t like my jelly gouache either personally so I’ve been trying to use it for that. I will say it does tend to dry a bit quickly on the nibs but it’s not a huge deal to me personally

[@mayloo2137]

I've yet to find another brand that has the amount of texture Paul rubens do in their cold press paper, though the hobbycraft own brand comes in a close second when it comes to texture. I love to use jelly gouache dried out. I hate the consistency of it freshly opened and dried all mine out because of that. Even dried the paint is still mega opaque when used in layers.

omg. just a couple weeks ago i randomly remembered when you guys did a gouache palette with tube paints and glycerin, so i tried putting glycerin in my jelly gouache so i wouldnt have to rewet them every time i leave them for a month or two. long story short, it might have worked if i had also used water, but i just put a ton of glycerin and they became so shiny and took forever to dry, so bad to paint with, im done with jelly gouache lol. i ruined the set i have and i dont see a point in getting a new one, the convenience of having the paints out in the cups isnt worth the re-wetting hassle imo. i wanted to try them for the convenience, i like making it as easy as possible for myself to do my thing, but nah. also dont torture yourselves for content! use art supplies you enjoy
