I use W&N and Holbien. Daniel Smith came out with their line after I bought a lot of other gouache.

Very helpful., especially about shadows on different planes being different values. Thank you.

[@philstarke.artist]

You’re welcome Jan, separating the planes is very important

[@angelalewis4213]

Try the Daniel Smith gouache, also Holbien

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks Angela, I'll try them.

So great! 1. I live in NYC. 2. Find city scales very challenging because they’re so busy. 3. I’m considering learning to paint w/ gouache. (it always looks so dry and thirsty when I use it.) Thanks for this!

[@philstarke.artist]

There’s a lot of great subjects in New York. You might try just added more water to the gouache. Start thinner then gradually add thicker paint in the lights

[@JimLongCO]

Phil it all came together at the end! Have you done any tutorials on painting human figures - like what you added to this painting?

[@philstarke.artist]

Thanks Jim, I plan on doing some figure videos in youtube soon.

Phil, I do quite a bit of gouache for field studies. I use M.Graham, WN, and Holbein pigments. These three all seem to perform about the same. I've also tried the gouache/acryl, but do not like it as well. It's to much like acrylics and dries really fast. Doesn't clean up as easily, and will harden in a brush. It doesn't seem to spread and cover the way plain gouache does. I do buy my white in the WN large tube, and use Permanent White. I do have some M.Graham Titanium White, which they have (permanent white) in the parentheses right below the TWhite label. Maybe try a couple of tubes of the Holbein and report your findings. Thanks again for your shared tutorials.

Thanks Allen, I'm going to try the M Graham. Heading to Scotland so i need to figure it out.
