my gouache is about to come in a few days and im so excited because i am so inspired by your art

[@hambot]

Yesss tell me what you think of it!

[@Angelwrites]

I’ve had this set for two years and it’s still moist like the day I got it. One time I didn’t use it for months and some paints dried up so much (black and Indian red and others) so I poured water in them to fill up the cubes and closed it for four days. Then I opened it and mixed them each and they were full again and brand new. I’m guessing the water evaporated over time but nothing else did

[@ysabelleramirez9542]

Sameee!

[@ZenitsuKunn]

Ooh happy painting!! Mines coming in 2 weeks!

[@senanarchy4467]

I know I've said this before but I'm gonna say it again anyway. The way you block out colors and then slowly blend them into a soft but richly layered piece is just so wonderful to watch.

[@hambot]

Thank you! I've always liked watching painting process videosthe most

[@kamilladias8569]

I personally likes when the gouache don't blend too much, I love the texture it creates

[@peachywatercolor8987]

Your art style triggers a lot of emotion it’s so interesting!! I’d love to make art that can touch people. You’re such an amazing inspiration!!

[@hambot]

Oh wow thank you so much! 🤧🤧

[@hambot]

This one took me four whole days to finish so it's late 😭but I have a poll about what you guys want me to do for my next video if you guys wanna check it out ❤️❤️

[@isobelsanders3741]

It's so good it's worth being late. Seriously great piece!

[@hyper5]

Don’t be so hard on yourself. It looks absolutely beautiful

[@margaretsilva6122]

Yo you need to stop being so hard on yourself. This was a great painting and you have an awesome sense of color and contrast. Trust in yourself and the process!

[@feshgogulululu]

Correct me if I’m wrong but is this Jane from breaking bad? :0

YESS I RECOGNISED THAT😭

I didn't know before but i think so! I saw the photo on pinterest but i haven't had the time to watch breaking bad yet so i don't know if that's where this exact scene is from

[@livi_ngwildly55]

When I use gouache I start with a layer of watercolor underneath to block out the shapes. I think it gives a nice blended look and it’s easier to apply over watercolor than using just the gouache! I hope this helps! Your art is amazing!✨💖

[@ayo6739]

I know this is a year late but if youre here i just wanna ask , do you apply the guache when the watercolor is still wet or just when it dries? Thanks!

[@livi_ngwildly55]

@@ayo6739 hey! Yeah I wait for it to fully dry, and use a kind of layered technique starting with darks and then lights and then mid tones. Then at the end you add the highlights.

[@cengkirwaskita8511]

@@livi_ngwildly55 very helpful, thanks

[@jameslyons9229]

Ik this is a rlly old comment but your advice is really good and is actually a technique that a lot of classical painters used when they made gouache studies!

[@heyitsritu]

Omg stop being so hard on yourself. You did so so great I love it

[@shereeglasson22]

Thank you for sharing your insights. I have just started using gouache. I used to use acrylics so I’ve come from the opposite end of the spectrum from you, give you’ve moved from watercolours. I would say gouache is MUCH harder to use than acrylics. Particularly struggling like you were with the paint lifting problems. When I used acrylic I used to just have the luxury of going over and over a painting and all my mistakes until I was happy. With gouache this is not really so easy to take this approach. Having said that, I think changing mediums pushes you outside your comfort zone which is a great way to explore new techniques and really stimulates creativity when all is said and done. Look forward to seeing more of your tutorials. This is a beautiful portrait you have completed!

[@Aintusamongus]

I love the layering. Absolutely phenomenal

[@marbledred2065]

Hello! Loved the painting, I have the same gouache palette. I found that once they have dried, you can spray the paints with water and let them soak for a day or 2. After some time, the paints get soft and you can mix them with a palette knife. It reconstitutes the paint and brings it back to that creamy texture it originally came in :-)

[@langemobile]

i also put a layer of cling wrap over the top of the paints, then add the cover. helps keep it airtight.

[@SDW90808]

So many KZbin artists are so hard on themselves. This painting is lovely! I remember the first time I used gouache and thought I would cry myself to sleep. (jk!) So different than watercolor. Thank you for sharing.

[@jaitrikareddy8971]

ty for showing the sketching process too. ppl just skip it and show the painting process only which makes it harder for beginners like meh.

[@sashasimone6095]

I couldn't imagine in my wildest dreams being this good at painting. You're really talented

[@yani2473]

Looks like an oil painting! I really enjoyed watching you blend those colors. ❤️

[@craftycrandall]

As a fellow watercolorist using gouache more often lately, I wholeheartedly agree about your comments and suggestions. This was a great video. ☺️

[@SloppyAT]

I love your paintings! Thank you for inspiring me everytime i watch your videos.

[@brennacastillo1216]

I love watching a gouache piece come together 😍 so beautiful

[@Alex-ee1dq]

Yeah, I find that gouache works best opaque. Yes you can water it down and paint many layers but for that purpose I would use watercolour as it spreads well. Gouache could always be added on por a final opaque layer on top of watercolour.

[@linzertube]

The final outcome is lovely - very painterly. I like what you did with the hair (a kind-of comic-book style), and the background is interesting, too.

[@hambot]

Thank you so much!

[@abby4684]

The way you paint hair is so beautiful I love itttt.

[@aksel1581]

[@Imawatches]

Your art is absolutely beautiful

[@liiley__]

Agree 100% with your opinions 😭 watercolor is my basic, when i use gouache and I uh its kinda hard. I learn that jelly gouache underneath (or all kind of gouache) will melt when we apply new layer. So 2-3 layers is maximum.. this is why in my opinion gouache is more hard to learn than watercolor cs i really used to layering my paint a lot 😂

[@hambot]

So many people have said this exact same thing, especially watercolor artists. Disturbing the layers underneath is so frustrating.

[@liiley__]

I really love your arts. Thankyou for sharing!

[@brvbr_ru]

Great job on this piece, it looks wonderful 🤗❤

[@frisk7755]

i learned a lot watching this video, thank you!

[@inannashu689]

Someone told me to let the layers dry completely before adding another. We are usually more critical of our art than others. I think you did a great job on it and appreciate that you shared it with us.

[@artgeometrix6346]

This is a fantastic quality painting. Exceptional work here.

[@calystacale7191]

So pretty!!! I also struggle with gouache because i started getting used to watercolor. It makes it more difficult when colors shift after they dry in gouache. The way darker colors dry lighter and lighter colors dry lighter is so frustrating -_-

[@hambot]

Yes! People always say that gouache is very similar to watercolor and it’s not at all

[@caramelcream5807]

You are really good at trusting the process

[@ginelleroislim2414]

[@NamikazeH]

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO... struggles for the same reason... The getting-the-flat-wash part always caught me off-guard, and was the source of so much frustration... Part of what I like about watercolors was also layering very light washes to build up colors. (narrator voice) It did not go well in gouache. Using your fingertips to blend made me chuckle-- mostly because that is a mood. In the end, trying to tackle it like I'm doing digital painting worked better for me. At the very least, I'm a lot less frustrated! Your art is gorgeous and I've loved everything you've drawn so far, but in this one I'm just in love with the sketch and can't stop staring at her eyes at the end-- so wonderfully expressive. The finished piece looks gorgeous, I'm fascinated by how you painted the area that's uh, connecting the bridge of the nose and the cheek, it's really beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us! Especially given the frustration you've had during parts of the painting process.

[@hambot]

Wait are you me?! Lmfaooooo at the light layering with gouache and also the part where you mentioned THE ONE PART of t her face where i spent the most time is either reassuring or embarrassing because it means my struggles on that part we’re way too apparent

[@NamikazeH]

@@hambot You spent much time on it for good reason and great results!! With this portrait at this angle it just has so much to say...? Like both in terms of form of the face and and the shape and the atmosphere. It's extremely lovely and I think the extra care and time you put into it really comes through.
