Scott is KZbin's Art-dad. No one can tell me otherwise

[@outlookonbooks]

I agree 😂❤

[@v_da_]

Definitely

[@Hailey_Marie_Art]

Good because… let’s be honest we all need one, and he fits the role so well 🥹💙

[@lonerstar]

He is literally everyone's online art mentor

[@kappapride6332]

We've got Shibasaki as an art grandpa and Scott as our art dad. It's all coming together.

[@emmapond8469]

He makes me so happy. I hope everyone can be as wholesome as he is.

[@charliepea]

Gouache is basically if acrylic could be reactivated. I love the buttery and painterly feel of gouache. It also makes watercolouring easier since you can layer lighter shades above darker ones and fix a few mistakes.

[@penumbragaming5072]

Scott is literally everyone dream art teacher, literally calmly explains it.

[@beststay_o_o]

KZbin has to protect this man at all costs.

[@LeCrumb]

This is the most wholesome and bestest artist in the world.

[@Jeddi_Teddi]

Hey Scott! This video was actually really informative. Gouache is one of my favorite mediums!! Thank you so much. You’re a huge inspiration to me and you’re art got me through a dark time in my life. You started my passion for watercolors so thank you so much for everything!!

[@hah-no.]

Thank you, Scott. These always make my day, and lately things have been going better than they used to. Maybe one day I’ll finally pick up painting again, seems I might really have the time now to get back into all the things I love. Again. Thank you 🤍

[@garretttippingart7671]

Hell yah I hope you find the time

[@garretttippingart7671]

When you turn to art, you return

[@leobarnes9689]

Its pretty much the thickness and vibrancy you want from acrylic, while still being forgiving like watercolour. Which makes it one of the best mediums to use. 👌🏻

[@SillyMarco]

Best description! 😀👍🏽

[@thespectacle7536]

The lace gloves on that first painting give me life ❤❤

[@CristinMakes]

Mr. Scott, thank you once again for breaking this down thoroughly!! ☺️

[@pluviophile3882]

Hey Scott! I have a huge athletics competiton today and I watch your Videos to calm myself down and zone out. Thank you for helping me accept my mistakes ♥️

[@ssavaart]

Good luck today! I hope you do well! ♥

[@kithric4878]

I have been playing with watercolor and acrylic for decades but I just recently tried guache for the first time over christmas! It's such a fun medium! I really appreciate these videos that give us tips on how to do art, it's so helpful :3 thank you Scott!!

[@problemchild792]

Your talent is out if this world. To me, I have never seen such an amazing range of styles. Your styles are amazing and all slightly unique. You are, and I've probably commented this before, my favourite artist I have ever seen.

[@nazra3]

i loved the pieces so much, ur more realistic paintings have a lot of feeling and the colors u use are so damn good, such a good work

[@valkyrieapple]

Thanks for the information! I make sure to remember this video the next time I try to use it. :D

[@potARTo]

I was thinking of getting and trying gauche for my birthday!! This would help me sooo muchhh

[@mhiggs8001]

I remember people at school talking about gouache being difficult or just disliking it, but in materials and techniques my professor made us use them and I fell in love with them!

[@ronkorenberg9902]

I remember this video from a while ago, it’s sill good and brings education to new artists which by then post this video all you want. Plus it’s good to remember Scott’s (KZbin’s art dad) expertise on this subject 😊

[@veona599]

I am so in love with the Gandalf painting! That along with your Gothic Vampire and Dragon Centaur paintings.

[@fireflymiesumae]

Your art is gorgeous

[@sotirisargyriou6682]

Thanks to you I made my first gouache painting. It's not great, but I love it and have hung it up on my wall.

[@PhoenixL0vee]

I started with gouache not long ago and fell in love. I love how opaque it is and how I can layer the colors on top of each other when they are drying. My latest drawing at the end I accidentally dropped a single drop of water on the background that was filled with dark green (it was dried already) and I put my hand on the drop and smeared the green around. Luckily it’s gouache so I let it dry again and was able to easily fix the smear by coloring on top of it. I really love this medium 😍

[@leocervidae]

Gouache also works really well with conte/chalk and compressed charcoal (not normal has to be compressed) since they’re water soluble. I use conte for line work on top of the gouache and can blend it in when needed. I tend to use compressed charcoal for black and white pieces as a replacement for black paint. I don’t usually like to use pure black pain in work as it muddies the colours, but compressed charcoal can get some nice deep blacks but doesn’t mix as far. Little tip if you want to try mixed media to help you get into painting

[@aformerhiro7383]

super helpful to show examples from real art!! i know about gouache in theory but i have a decent amount of trouble knowing about it in practice, so the closeups of the different techniques was really awesome 💜

[@azymondiasthe3rd]

Love the stuff you’ve been making! But I do have one question: for us younger/ un-experienced artists, would it still work if you mixed the colors straight from the tubes before you paint or does most times it look/work better when you mix it on paper

[@ssavaart]

Absolutely. A lot of artists mix the paint first on a palette. It's just a preference.

[@aaravsharma-vu4ts]

[@RobinParravel]

I love using gouache. I am much more used to using tempera colours, which are very thick and opaque, especially in comparison to water colours, which I am not used to at all. As this short explains, the traits of gouache mainly depend on how much water is used, which is perfect for the way I work when painting.

[@raghavkrishna3123]

This guy can make a masterpiece with Microsoft paint

[@SIRKISSHY]

that "dreamy out of focus" painting is gorgeous. i love it!

[@needzzlaa]

Scott's so talented, I looovee gouache but I've never seen a better painter than Scott. I wish I could paint like you sir Scott 🥹🥹

[@RetroGaming_07]

I never painted with Gouache paint before but it does look fun to work with.

[@bzook767]

Thanks for the tip!! Love ur art btw!! You are one of my art inspirations!! Love your art so much!!

[@ssavaart]

Thank you so much 😀

[@glowinobsidian8326]

Couple of months before I was very bad at water colour but after watching your videos I have improved very much. THANKS SCOTT

[@ssavaart]

Great to hear!

[@bogbert7019]

Gouache is my favorite traditional medium. Watercolor and I have never been good friends but gouache gets me; it’s the perfect balance between something like tempera or acrylics and watercolors

[@sarahcook9110]

Gouache is my absolute favorite medium. Nice to see another Gouache user.

[@frogleader3825]

Great video as always!

[@fancy4516]

My favorite artist!

[@gtt390]

SO COOL! ❤😍

[@shailOmbajaj9844]

Thin man and his family should be invincible and immortal . Love from India

[@juliaad2975]

Because of you I got a big package of art supplies for Christmas and I especially love gouache. Why hasn't anyone shown this earlier? I'm a (primary) teacher myself and I want to change this way for the kids ☺️ so thank you!

[@dismal_mystery]

Hey Scott, big fan here, could you do an episode in this series for charcoal? I recently received some charcoal sticks, pencils etc for my birthday and whilst I know the basics it would be great to learn more from a more experienced artist like you. Again, love the channel.

[@Heartstopperfans]

I love your art work so much. I am a huge fan of yours. You inspire me to keep making art and I love your movie. Thank you so much for what you do ❤

[@TheRhino809]

I used to work with Gouache but never really got the hang of it never really understood how it worked but this video gave me a little insight to understanding it and the ways I can use it might try working with it again thanks Scott 👍

[@arandominternetuser66]

Ahhhh I was struggling with gouache! Thanks uuuu💗

[@thejazzpianist25]

You should 100% publish a book of your art similar to the World of Mucha book, it would inspire so many people.

[@SniperOnSunday]

Good to know. Also, your work is outstanding!

[@ssavaart]

Much appreciated!

[@amandasjoberg463]

Gouache seems like the best of both worlds of watercolor and acrylic!

[@ssavaart]

I think so

[@LangkeeLongkee]

I've used gouache a couple times but I haven't painted anything in a whiiiiile. I basically ran out of white so I could do much on top of not having time, but I bought some last weekend. Unfortunately I still don't have the time but I'd like to get back into it. Thanks for the refresher. ❤️

[@__LVart]

Your art is just truly BEAUTIFUL 😍

[@chocolate708]

I love your videos and your art! You're amazing

[@natix4525]

All of the painting at the end are so gorgerous!

[@quirkygiraffe1737]

I think it would be really cool if you drew pink in honor of her new album trustfall. Thanks for inspiring people to be creative.

[@malinvikberg1194]

Gouache is a great complement to watercolour, it makes painting even more fun I think

[@pixelzebra8440]

I love using gouache straight from the tube with a tiny bit of water it’s so nice to work with I personally have a lot of trouble with watercolor but love gouache and acrylic

[@DazzleDogg]

I think for St.Patrick’s day you should do an art piece! As it is my birthday aswell and it would make my day 😅

[@whalefactsalesman]

hey scott, it would be awesome if you would paint neil cicirega, i think he would look great in your style. also love ur art :D

[@mijunamystery6535]

I recently got some gouache and it really combines the things I love about aquarell and acrylics. It's so much fum to work with!

[@leoc5465]

i was so excited to use gouache for the first time cause i knew you used it often. but everything i thought i knew was wrong because my teacher decided to give me acrylic gouache and i didn’t realize how different they were to use.

[@olgarodionova27]

Wow your paintings are beautiful!

[@legol_45]

Scott I got better at art because of You now my passion is to do art

[@marshmallowbunnykins]

Your art is so inspiring! And I just found out your an AAU alumni and that’s where I go!! I’m even doing an essay with your illustration workshop on yt as a source!

[@yaniwet]

Your art is amazing 😍😍😍

[@gabbymartinez587]

Your paintings are beautiful

[@K_avya927]

Those are some of the finest arts ever , damn idk why those are not next to Mona Lisa 😊

[@hopemaierle6483]

There is acrylic gouache too. It's basically like acrylic paint, but can be thinned with water. It is expensive though and didn't realize it wasn't what I was looking for till I swatched and couldn't reactivate it.

[@rifathabiba498]

I love your art style! You inspire me

[@tragicgirlboy]

I used gouache for the first time today because your art inspired me :)

[@thebloo12]

That looks incredibly difficult to use but also very fun at the same time!

[@catwithahat-lk7it]

I usually use watercolor paint but I wanted to try gouache and I've done two paintings now and I love it! This video is very helpful too thanks 😁

[@sharonmorelli6056]

Great demo, thanks👍🏼

[@matildakristensen541]

I aws so happy to see K-2SO!

[@BlueDreemurrArtz]

[@rochellehannah-nv3jq]

Thank you, I’m experimenting with gouache and this is a great reminder.

[@spindleblood]

I'm about to take a gouache class! I'm very excited!

[@jaymesEo6]

That Xena painting was awesome

[@BBcrafts.]

Interesting you learn something new every day 😮

[@Person-wf1qk]

Thank you for explaining this❤ also may I suggest Johnny Thunders for music Monday!

[@SunitaRani-s6l5c]

I love these drawings i am a big fan

[@pucamisc]

Gouache is my favorite paint to work with.

[@EllaEllaEh]

I’ve been wanting to get into gouache. I enjoy water soluble paints.

[@StarShopping01]

that is so awesome I love your idea👌

[@theodoroprea366]

Wanted to try watercolor, till now inused only oil paint, but now that i ve seen this, i think i ll try this one instead, cause can be more opaque. Thanks man.

[@gbattaglia7439]

That’s the guy from Hugo!! I loved that movie this unlocked memory of it

[@creator_funds]

thx scott, when i actually get gouache i'll try these methods! ❤

[@cheekyzeynep7112]

we can all agree he's all of our dream art teacher

[@sapphirejade5029]

Thanks for the tips! I work with watercolor so if I try it sometime, it's basically watercolors on steroids. I like it!😁

[@It_sleep]

Thanks ssava❤

[@elizabetheaton3882]

Really beautiful artwork thanks

[@Dog-mx9wh]

His art is so cool and nice

[@lunarozegaming]

Used gouache in a color theory class in university, and hated it so much. Our professor made us do several portfolios for this paint including color charts , So I appreciate you saying it's not an easy medium to work with. My struggles in that class feel more validated

[@Cosmoandsprout-fruitcake]

Art idea I think it would be cool to have an opossum in a Halloween costume with some candy in its mouth. By the why I love your art it’s a huge inspiration

[@martins4788]

Yeah, I love gauche!!! Try it, you just might like it.

[@null0357]

His voice is so ✨charismatic✨

[@dragontales2690]

Wow eye catching 😍😍😍😍😍

[@louisejohnson6057]

Love your Xena!

[@Lil-Pony]

That is great work. So awesome

[@pickledlobstermeep]

tbh gouache would be really good for abstract art
