I was wondering why I’m so attracted to gouache art and the emotion that it can convey, and now I understand. The paint itself is moody, needy and temperamental.

If your "jelly paints" have dried out you can reactivate them by adding\spraying them with water and letting it sit for 10-20 minutes. I had a similar problem with my Arrtx jelly gouache pallet and this really helped

Jelly gouache is a little different in those terms. you can simply add water to the gouache let it sit, and then stir it, and you gouache will be back to normal in almost 1/2 ~ 1day

1. Use thick consistency when painting a layer over (& make SURE that the layer beneath is DRY so they won't mix together )
@sa80242 жыл бұрын
I typically use the thin layers of reactivated paint to underpaint/"sketch" to help me sort out where I want everything to go, especially on a no reference/off-the-dome piece. As for the reactivated globs, I generally get them somewhat soft and mix them with fresh paint, either of the same color or a color I want to mix the dry with. I've been using arteza for over 3 years and haven't noticed any of the hard to reactivate little chips yet. Something I've found helpful with gouache and really paint in general is having a grayish palette, the colors feel truer to me than on white or black, recommend playing with colors to see what color palette you'd prefer. (Can not recc a glass palette enough tbh)

There's a great class on skillshare comparing some different brands. Caran d'ache even makes gouache that is in dry pans. I like to use gouache that reactivates well because then I can reactivate my palette and not waste gouache. So brand matters for this. Thanks for the video!

As an impatient watercolorist, may I recommend starting with bold color and then adjusting with more watered down layers? Working wet on wet with bold, saturated strokes gives you a nice base, and it will inevitably dry lighter. I know that I was never able to slowly build up thin layers.
