TRYING HOLBEIN ACRYLA GOUACHE | First Impressions

[@sandhyasuryanarayanan2776]

This was just the video I was looking for! I’m so glad you mentioned about learning colour theory and starting out with just the primary colours! It was a joy to look at the various shades of blues, greens, purples and the oranges that you swatched here 😇

I've been painting with Holbein Acrylic Gouache for years. I love how it dries with a matte finish. I prefer sealing it with a fixative and not using glass to frame it with. Unfortunately they have changed the formula with the fixatives. Now I have to test the new Golden MSA Varnish w/ UVLS, Matte and the Golden Acrylic High Flow Medium with these paints. Unfortunately it is too cold now to use these outdoors. I have a painting done for a client's daughter's Christmas present I may have to give her a framed photo of the painting to keep until it's warm enough in the spring.

I wait patiently for your new videos... You should definitely make a gouache skillshare class!!

[@bisousbe]

yayyyy my holbein acrylic gouache just arrived

[@criscarts]

I got the primary set to experiment, but I think I will add the ultramarine blue and the cool yellow you have here. I really loved the greens and purples you were able to get.

[@rominaibarra5033]

I love how you paint and how you do it seems real

[@ArtByKarenEHaley]

Color swatching is, in my opinion, my favorite part, because I learn a lot from what I see!

[@JessChungArt]

haha yay i'm glad! :)

[@amybaker5241]

Get a stay-wet pallet off amazon, it keeps the acryla gouache wet for longer. Works amazing If you need to do a big piece.

[@JessChungArt]

i definitely want to try that!

[@shekinahanne9188]

Ever since i subscribed to your channel, i became your fan already. I wish i am that good like youuuu, more contents to comeeee! All the love and support from the Philippines💓💓💓

[@lorange7071]

Thank you so much for sharing..love your painting and hearing your thoughts on gouache. I recently tried Acrlic Gouache for the first time. I am not fond of acrylic so thought I would not like these...but it is really growing on me.

[@JessChungArt]

I know how you feel! I was so hesitant to try acryla gouache as I thought it'd be much more similar to acrylics, but I actually really enjoy using it.

[@MarleneVega]

Loved watching this :)! looking forward to your acrylic gouache paintings 💗

[@JessChungArt]

thanks marlene!! looking forward to yours too 😍

[@alexandrasanches2473]

I love this! Helped me a lot! Thankyou! Big hug!

[@hena.khadeeja]

So pretty...you have 3 paintings of this aldready!😍

[@asaltyem0826]

Oh wow that’s so interesting. I think acrylic gouache would just confuse me since I’m so used to gouache and use it’s water color type properties a lot since i started with a primary set of watercolors and I kinda don’t do as well with acrylics. I like to use all the possible ways I have with gouache.

[@chrisb7970]

Hi just bought my first acrylic gauche paints. Will I need new brushes or can I continue using my watercolour brushes? Love your lessons. Thank you.

[@JessChungArt]

I would dedicate separate brushes to acryla gouache because they're a little more harsh on the brush. Unless your watercolour brushes are not very precious to you then sure you can use it interchangably. I would use watercolour/mix media brushes with acryla gouache. Hope this helps!

[@soophiamickelsson4162]

can you do a video for mixing greens with gouache,I really have a problem with that

[@trevorcoles1162]

You probably know this anyway, even with acrylic paint, just a short soaking with hot water lifts off the paint. Then scraping off the paint so much easier. Yes as other comments have suggested a stay wet pallet, is a good way.

[@doms8048]

More guoache tutorials please ♥

[@melanie990]

I like it for layering. If I'm working on something that doesn't need as many layers then I completely agree, traditional gouache is so much better!

[@jasminethomas5491]

aww 😍😍 how gorgeous

[@Lauren-ul9gi]

So beautiful!

[@JessChungArt]

thank you!

[@mejiaart5363]

Wonderful work 👍

[@dorothygladsjo3510]

Have you tried a Sta Wet palette?

[@JessChungArt]

I bought one a while back but I haven't tried it yet as I don't paint with acryla gouache much. But I have heard that it resolves the drying issue!

[@meharkaur5]

Hey!! Loved your worked❤️ Did you use water ??

[@JessChungArt]

yes i did! to thin it out a little

[@desktopart3939]

How did you edit your videos .

[@__luvmyself23__]

Do they come in set or you can buy them separately?

[@jondoh587]

Blick sells both sets and open stock. Michaels only sells them in sets.

[@sylviaanna]

Visual Mind has a video where she tried to paint traditional gouache over acrylic gouache. She says it doesn’t work well. Have you already tried it?

[@JessChungArt]

Oooh interesting. I haven't tried that but I'll have to give it a go

[@jondoh587]

Trying to layer a gum arabic-based paint directly on top of an acrylic paint doesn't work. The watercolor paint won't adhere.

[@cherylj.harris4967]

What kind of paper do you use with acrylic gouash?

[@JessChungArt]

same paper as for gouache! any kind of watercolour or mix media paper works

[@marcneve9132]

Hi! Can I use watercolor paper for gouache?

[@JessChungArt]

yep! 200gsm is pretty safe for gouache. the moleskine sketchbook i used was only 165gsm and worked fine too

[@marcneve9132]

@@JessChungArt thank you ilysm 🥺

[@jondoh587]

I apply a few thin coats of gesso on the watercolor paper before I paint it with acrylic. The paint flows across the gesso'd paper so much more easily, plus it saves paint. It's kind of surprising how much less paint it takes to cover an area if the paper has first been gesso'd.

[@ikelaujamila7455]

yay
