PAINTING TIPS: How to Paint with Holbein Acryla Gouache

[@halomachine1990]

The wet paper trick in the palette changed my life, my husband's life, my 15 children lives, my lover's life and my cat's life. I love you bestie

[@MartinaLopezzz]

just bought my first gouache set and it's holbein acryla, SO glad i watched this video so I know the paper towel/parchment trick. I was scared for a bit because I wasn't sure how I was gonna keep the paints from drying, but now I have firm proof that i just need a shallow pan, paper towel, and parchment paper haha. thank you so so much for making this video! love the wolf kitty, btw :)

[@AweNature1]

I am new to gouache. Tried the paper-towel trick tonight. SO HELPFUL. Thank you!

[@MissAl12130]

That homemade stay-wet palette was a life-saver ! Thank you so much !

[@judiebattle108]

The wet paper towel under parchment paper was a game changer! Thank you

[@Samthe1stbob]

I love acrylla gouache because it doesn't require all the layering of regular gouache and it has this digital look that I adore.

[@beelzebae]

This is awesome! That wet paper-towel trick blew my mind lmao. I needed this !!

[@megguran]

I'm so glad that I can help!! 🥰 Happy painting!!

[@Inquirer101]

I use the paper towel trick in a lidded shallow tupperware container. If you put the lid on after painting you can keep the paint wet for weeks.

[@adriannamarszal]

doesn’t the paint get moldy during this time, since it stays wet without access to fresh air?

[@CazkiwiNZ]

Put a copper coin (penny) on each edge of the paper to both weigh it down… and stop mould 🤗

[@adriannamarszal]

@@CazkiwiNZ how is that supposed to work…? the container will still be closed. am I missing something?

[@CazkiwiNZ]

@@adriannamarszal Yes, copper is a well-known antimicrobial.

[@adriannamarszal]

@@CazkiwiNZ so interesting!! the world of opportunities has just opened for me 😋

[@SairaFinalIllustration]

Thanks for the tips :) I want to try acrylic gouache as I used to always use acrylic but never liked the shiny/plastic look of it. This looks like it might be the perfect solution!

[@kara1084]

Wolf kitty is soooo cute! Thanks so much for the excellent tip on keeping the paint from drying too fast.

[@katylowe3504]

Boy, I learned so much from you! I am sure now I did the right thing by getting an acryla gouache paint set for my jewelry project. Love the tip on the wet palette.

[@Linoosethemooss]

I loved the DIY wet palette tip, thanks! The painting is so cute too!

[@marso-ooo]

i have a plastic box i can close it shaped like a book i put a white rag on it and then a parchment paper , i avoided paper towel because it gets these little lines witch i don’t like unlike a rag it gives this smooth surface i can work with , and it really makes life easier, i mean it’s been more than a week i didn’t touch my palette and it’s still wet 😮 i work with w&n acrylic paint .

[@Remakai]

thanks for the tip with a wet palette ^^ I have exactly these gouaches and they dried up too quickly

[@JoAnneMOwens]

Thank you, this. Idea did help me! I have been wanting to get into acrylic gouache, but the rapid drying time has kept me from diving in. Ow I can try your trick, thx so much for sharing!

Okay, I don't understand almost anything she says because my English is very bad, (I'm Brazilian) but the content is so good and so organized that I wonder how she doesn't have 1M subscribers? Your work it's perfect congratulations 💕

[@tatianimation8730]

AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! I loved this video!!! I can't wait to try out these tips next time I do a longer painting! Wasting these pricey paints hurts my soul but hopefully using your makeshift wet palette will help me! As always I love your wolf kitty and thank you for sharing your painting knowledge >:3

Thank you for a great video, the tips were useful and detailed and the finished piece was very cute!

[@amelialaboda]

this was super helpful, thanks so much!! acryla gouache is fr just so much easier lol. still getting the hang of it but i'm hoping to try out more lineless stuff like your little wolf here! also we have the same cutting mat lmao

[@ratuhadianti11]

What a best tips

[@MaddieMaddocks]

Great video! Thank you for the amazing tips on the palette. Question - what kind of pencil did you use to make the sketch on the watercolor block?

[@megguran]

I'm glad it was helpful!! I just used a col-erase yellow colored pencil :^) any light colored pencil that's would be the same color scheme as your painting will work! I will alternate between a light blue or yellow

[@ms.marvelous7019]

I learned so much from this video ! Thank you 🙏🏽 I love the painting too 💖🐱

[@jannahlyon]

Amazing! I am so excited to try acrylic gouache now. Thank you so much for sharing your insight and tips and such lovely art too :)

[@oilonpaper]

This was helpful and your character is so cute! 🧡

[@rpederse]

Helpful!

[@saraben-zvi3398]

Thank you for sharing how to paint with acrylic gouache. Can I use regular varnish to protect the painting?

[@megguran]

I'm glad this video was helpful!! Yes! You should be able to use a varnish for acrylic paintings to protect your work :^)

[@Gnadab]

How is acrylic gouache if you work in multiple layers and detailed work?

[@megguran]

It paints much like regular acrylic paints! It's great for layering and detail work so long as you allow the layers dry between painting. It has a lovely velvet finish!

[@summer.days1105]

Can acryla gouache be used on canvas?

[@megguran]

When primed it can be! Though, I personally feel this paint works best on a smoother surface rather than a textured surface. :^) I suggest hot pressed watercolor blocks, smooth wood panels for painting, or hot pressed illustration board

[@summer.days1105]

@@megguran appreciate your fast reply 😊 now I know what I should put in my shopping list

[@megguran]

@@summer.days1105 happy painting!! :^) 🎨🖌️

Adorable💞💞

[@ateardropofdawnlily]

hi!! thank you so much for the tips, esp the palette trick! i was struggling with how fast my paints were drying out so this was super helpful! what kind of pencil do you use to do your sketch onto your watercolour block? is there a reason why you used a coloured pencil rather than a regular pencil? thank you!!

[@megguran]

I'm so glad this helped! I use just a regular yellow color pencil or sometimes a col-erase or verathin color pencil. The main reason why I use the color pencil instead of a regular graphite pencil is cause the graphite will tend to smear and smudge and can be hard to cover with paint sometimes. I found the yellow or non photo blue color pencils to be the easiest to cover with paint! However, if I am transferring a final drawing onto a painting surface, I will use a regular pencil :^) hope this helps!

[@ateardropofdawnlily]

@@megguran thank you so much! this was super helpful

[@kit_kata]

Such a cute video and really nice tips! The stay-wet palette really sounds easy to do and very useful! The end result was lovely ^^ Do you think it's possible to use this kind of gouache and then layer watercolour on top?

[@megguran]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found the information helpful :) I haven't tried layering watercolor on top, but it sounds like a fun experiment to try since acryla gouache does not re-activeate when wet like traditional water based gouache! I'd say give it a go! :)

[@kit_kata]

@@megguran You're welcome! Yeah! It does sound like a fun experiment! I'm purchasing Holbein acryla gouache soon so I might try and do that one I get them! ^^ Thank you for the reply! :D
