Hot tip: keep a spray bottle on hand when working on a longer term project w acrylic!! It keeps it wet to keep it useable ((: I personally use plastic take away containers and whenever its open I I'll mist it every 20 mins or so while I'm painting

[@DirtyShizno]

Sometimes if I’m coming back to a mixed colour I just cover it with a wet paper towel

[@soniahossain2860]

[@meaganboodoo315]

Thanks for the tips. I just started using acrylic and I realise some of my paint wastes and if it's a mixed colour it's hard to get the exact same shade again. So this was very helpful advice

[@rohsek7298]

Oh.. gouache is exactly my style! Though as a complete dumb dumb with paint in general I’m not sure how to not waste such precious paint..

[@jgr094]

Since gouache reactivates and its also so pigmented its pretty efficient! Its okay Although depending on the brand they may be harder to reactivate or may reactivate in a more liquid state. Some others like (from my experience) talens extrafine stay rather creamy sfter reactivating and also it doesnt need too much work

[@sofialaya596]

Maybe it would be good to start with thin acrilic, so it's not reactivated, and then work over it with oil paint or gouache

[@lavone5541]

Nah, you wouldn't waste much paint, trust me. Even a blob was enough for me to paint a background because it was soooooo pigmented. I've run out of water before the paint.

[@hexkwondo]

I discovered recently too and I love it. It's flat color effect is perfect for drawing in a cartoon and anime style. It will look digital when you ink the painting afterwards. And you don't need much paint at all to cover a big area. It's a very flexible medium.

[@nalublackwater9729]

In my experience, cheap watercolor don't give as good results as one would expect. Buy a palete which is a bit more expensive but not overly so, no need to go to high-end brands, and you will see the difference. This is coming from an amateur artist who learned the hard way :) Oh, and have fun :)

[@sleepysnailsnack]

Thats how id describe it after my first try. Ive used both, and its basically opaque watercolor.

[@lunaredgrave]

You can add glycerin to acrylic paints if you don't want them to dry quickly on your paper or canvas. However if you're too adapted to acrylic paints like me, when the drying time changes, you're more prone to making mistakes. You may mix colors on canvas when you're thinking you're adding a new layer. So be careful. 😉

You did a Wonderful job! It was very helpful😊 I bought some paints and I didn't try them out yet, but after watching this I wanna paint😆 Thank you so much!✌😉

[@jessicas.488]

I highly recommend using an acrylic medium instead of water! The acrylic paint acts like liquid plastic (sets after about 10 minutes and can't be reactivated) and the water breaks apart the molecules instead of actually working with the paint. Using a thinning medium meant for acrylic will do the same as water but without ruining your painting's quality in the long run!

[@glr8559]

You inspire me so much! Watching all your paint activates my creativity 👍🏾❤️💙💚🙏🏽

[@erinf430]

Thank you so much for explaining what Gouache was. I have watercolors but it wasn't reaching the caliber i wanted. I kept hearing about Gouache but the internet never really explained it well enough. Great video. I'll be getting some gouache paints now.

[@srednaart]

I think this was a great video on the different mediums! I started with oils but wanted something that wasn't so messy, then went onto acrylic which is one of my fav mediums but it takes a bit of time to set up/cleanup, then I used watercolors but found that it takes too long to make intense colors, gouche I haven't used but it looks like I can get an intense color right away and cleanup is easier than acrylic and oils. I shall give it a try!

[@elledee6182]

This was really helpful and interesting to learn about! They didn't teach me the differences between the 3 in my college's art class long ago, just to buy gouache, basic technique on use, and use it for projects. So I had no clue of gouache's capabilities and didn't care for it afterwards. But your video helped me change my mind, haha. Thank you!

[@ACE-xg2pt]

I use gouache paint for my projects and they definitely look flat but still very incredible. I love how the colors pop if not water activated.
