New Art Studio Supplies + Painting a Portrait in Gouache!

[@judithherring8220]

Hi! Not only do I greatly admire your skill in gouache and other media, but you make your videos pleasing, with short voice overs, instruction and “chats”, always keeping in mind the “real” reason for why we’re watching. Furthermore, your choice of music is perfection, light and upbeat, just right for relaxing and absorbing your tutorial. Thank you so much for this gift to us!

The colour placement and brush strokes are just so on point and deliberate! So talented 👏

[@emhuesart]

Aw thank you so much! ❤️

[@Issame_sasha_hello]

Your process is so calming to watch!! I love how the painting starts so full and continues to be even better every new details 🥰💓

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you find it calming 😊🩷

[@elizathepainter8604]

Always so amazed at how you chisel away such a clear image out of so many different colors to start with! Very pretty portrait

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much! 💗

[@hambot]

I can't wait!!

[@emhuesart]

Aw thank you Ham! ❤

[@TheArtOfJerry]

Your voice melted me ❤❤ so satisfying 🎉🎉🎉❤❤

[@Gaia_Empress]

She has a really soothing innocent sounding voice doesnt she..

[@raquelsalerno5933]

You’ve sold me on the ceramic palette and the pots that perfectly sit in it. I definitely resonate w being lazy when in comes to my colours on my palette…

[@emhuesart]

Having more room to mix has made a huge difference! I didn't realize how much it would help me in the painting process, but now I can't go back haha 😅

[@bella_color]

love the art supply organization. I bet those wooden boxes would look beautiful with a wood stain too!

[@alynakarczmar5797]

Beautiful portrait! It looks ever so slightly like Ellie from The Last Of Us💚

[@Lia13_]

Ooohh I love the new supplies! Definitely need some of those things. 😊 And of course as usual, your work is just awesome! Thank you! 🖤

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much! I have been loving these supplies! I've used them pretty much every day since recieving them 😊🩷

[@hambot]

Em, I'm so jealous of all of your art supplies! It's so weird how watching organize their oil pastels make me want to use my own. The paintings are gorgeous as always 😍. Also the vibes in your videos are so nice, I don't know how you do it.

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much Ham! ❤️😭 I LOVE the vibes of your videos, always a comforting and inspiring watch!

[@АллаКоролева-ф2ъ]

Your art is so breathtaking and so cozy at the same time. Really like the aesthetic of your videos and also watch them many times to understand the technique of painting with goache ❤

[@emhuesart]

Aw thank you so much, that is so nice to hear! 🥰🩷

[@himbosuplex]

Ooo so happy to see you check out the Meeden drawers, I'd been debating on getting one for ages and it seems so nice! Your gouache portraits are always so inspiring.

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much 🩷 I really love these drawers, so practical and beautiful!

[@xmoshyMCCOY]

I've been watching your videos for quite a while now, but I clicked this one so quickly when I saw the thumbnail because I thought it was Bella Ramsay hahaha... Still stunning, and it's cool to see you working with Meeden stuff. I have a few items from them that I've bought from Amazon.

[@emhuesart]

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I must've had The Last of Us on my mind 😅 Thanks so much for commenting! 🩷

[@cindyfromsydney7693]

Beautiful as always❤ I’m a huge Meeden fan, especially of their pastels boxes and plan to buy a few more for my pastel pencils.

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much Cindy! I am also a huge Meeden fan 😍 I've used the desk easel, palette and water cup every single day since recieving them. I also just love how functional and beautiful the pastel drawers are! 🩷

[@tewfour]

So so so good! Love how blocky the portrait is but still holds so much detail

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much!! 😄

[@moonmother5427]

I just love your videos so much I’m a young artist and learn a lot just by watching you ❤

[@emhuesart]

Aw thank you!! ❤️ I'm so glad you find them helpful!

[@neniiittta]

Hello Emily what is the brand of your gouache paintings? Are they watercolor or acrylic gouache? Thank you!!!! And please keep doing watercolor as well love it when you do it!!!

[@emhuesart]

Hi there! In this video I'm using a mix of Winsor & Newton, Holbein, and Turner gouache (not acrylic gouache). I want to make more watercolor videos too, it's good to know that people enjoy them! 😊

[@Samreadsbooks9]

I have 3 of those drawer sets and I am probably due for a new one! I love your art haul!

[@emhuesart]

Yay! Thank you!

[@MaddieBee1414]

I love your art!! Your so talented!!

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much!!

[@comicallydreamy]

I just got this exact easel and I love it!

[@kayliecheng]

Beautiful work! How do you blend the color blocks (eg. The woman’s hand at around 17:30)?

[@ssdavydo9131]

Just wanna say, just tried gouache for the first time after some time of using watercolors. You made it look so easy 😪😂

[@emhuesart]

I am currently in the opposite boat haha! I've been trying watercolors again after using gouache for a while, and I'm really struggling 🫣😅 Nothing is easy, it all takes practice. Best of luck in your gouache adventures! 💛

[@jenifersalazar4259]

Beautiful question: what was that liquid that you combine with the paints? Water?❤

[@kirstenensine]

I love watching your painting technique and how it slowly evolves in these beautiful painting!😍 I also have a question, I’d love to know how you store your regular gouash. Do you squeeze the colours out of the tube into an air tight container? Or do you use jelly gouash? Very curious to know 😊

[@emhuesart]

Hi there! Thank you so much ❤️ I haven't tried jelly gouache yet. I just squeeze tubes of regular gouache into an airtight container and they stay pretty fresh (I have a link to the container I use in the description) 😄 Recently I have been adding a couple drops of winsor and newton watercolor blending medium to each color, and have found it helps keep them wet in the container for much longer! I hope that helps!

[@imlost-ft4bl]

Please do more gouache painting vlog

[@fuzzydragons]

I actually didnt know Meeden made so many different things really lovely portrait🥰 (and i havent watched the last of us yet...still need to play it first actually lol)

[@emhuesart]

Right?! So many cool art things! 😄 Thank you so much Fuzzy!

[@jungtothehuimang]

Where do you buy your guache? I'd like to get some for my mom.

[@MeowItsGhazt]

Phenomenal; hey how do you get so much value with your strokes?.

[@emhuesart]

Thank you! I find slowing down and really thinking about each stroke helps! 😄

[@MultiPassionateCreator]

Very beautiful

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much!

[@aldofabriziomichelangelliv5880]

what kind of paint you have in those little cubes you use?

[@jackielubeck]

Nice to watch. Thx.

[@DessahLS]

This was so satisfying 😌 i loved the ceramic pallet specially, and these brushes are cute besides being good. Great portrait, really sweet, do you seal your guache paintings? How? If you don't mind answering 😅 (I don't remember how to spell guache in english)

[@emhuesart]

I'm so glad you enjoyed! The ceramic palette is definitely the item I use the most 😄 I don't seal my gouache paintings, but I have considered trying a gouache varnish. If I try it out, I will be sure to mention it in a video 🩷🩷

[@Lavenderchai62]

What kind of paper do you use for gouache?

[@emhuesart]

I find gouache is very accepting of most papers, even just regular sketchbook paper! I don't use my gouache very watered down though, for more watercolor-type applications I'd recommend watercolor paper. I like any hot press paper for gouache, nothing expensive, cellulose watercolor paper does the trick! ☺️

[@lotsoflove789]

paper used for gouach painting

[@emhuesart]

I did the first studies in my Royal Talens Art Creation sketchbook, but the final portrait was on Hahnemühle Harmony hot pressed paper! 😊

[@a7mel3]

Love these videos! Super helpful in getting back into art after a long break. Thanks for sharing x
