Pro Gouache Showdown - Shinhan Pro Designer Gouache Review
Hey there hey friends. Today we kick off our professional gouache showdown. First up we are looking at Shinhan Professional Designers Gouache. Join me as unbox, swatch, demo, and review this gouache to see where it will eventually rank on our showdown list.
*In the video I forgot to mention the cost of the product. At $33.42 a set the paint is priced really well for its quality. Breaking down to $2.78 a tube this is a pretty good set to buy in my opinion.*

Hey there hey friends. It’s experiment time again. This time I am shaving down the pencils to make a paint pan set of sorts! This is meant to serve as a quick sketch, and not a full blown painting!

Watercolor Painting Projects In 30 Minutes! Painting Animals By Matthew Palmer
I just brought the 5 tubes set of this gouache because of the name. I haven't opened them and I will be returning them. I want something that is opaque. Thanks for the review.
Yes unless you add the white that’s included into the paint it will be pretty transparent.
So good to see you again on my feed! Your style is so calming. I recently purchased some gouache paint but have been intimidated because my normal medium is watercolor. You’ve convinced me to give it a try! Happy to see you again!
I am very happy RUclips decided to let me roll across your feed again! I have had others tell me they have to actually come to the channel looking for my videos. The algorithm just does whatever it wants to lol. However, I am super excited to have you back as a part of the community. You should absolutely give the gouache a try.
Thrifty I'm definitely gonna need to give shinhan a try!
I personally really like them.
My goal was to be able to go straight to ink drawing and skip pencil. It's going lol. I see some improvement but I have flew through some paper with the mess ups.
Hey there hey friends. It’s time! Today we kick off the pro gouache showdown!
I'm so excited for the gouache showdown. I've been wanting to get into gouache as my only experience with it is Lukas.
I remember use talking about that. We both know they aren’t the greatest lol. Especially if you dry them down. Sooo hard to re-wet, and a get pigment pay off. These are completely different. In the best way possible.
I'm not sure if I've improved over the month but I know I've improved from my first inktober. I've been trying to stick to using only ink this year and practicing my dip pen control. My dip pen control has improved a little and I have some Inktense colors and some Tombow Fudenosuke colored liners.
Hello all! Welcome to the introduction of our last Inktober 2025 giveaway!
Saturday night at 11pm I found my self ready for sleep and realized I hadn't done my prompt for the day! I did a quick 5 min painting then added a little more the next day. Also, yesterday was "uncharted" and I didn't have much time so I looked up the Gilligan's island island, and I did it in black and white.
InkTober has been taking up a lot of my time, too, but I'm having fun and I've actually been doing it every day. I can't believe I've made it this far lol.
My goal for inktober was to be better drawing with ink directly. As of today I can honestly say that there has been little improvement, because I haven’t been consistent😢. Life has gotten in the way and I haven’t been able to draw consistently. Hopefully as time go goes on, I will be able to improve my skillls
Great Review
Thank you!
@@thethriftyapprentice Your welcome 🤗
yes- portable painter is great. I have gouache in it bc idk that was the fad for a while haha
I am still debating what to put in each one. I might just mix the brands in the big one, and put a gouache mixing set in the micro.
he found the phone palette ! love it
I did. I found all of them. I was so happy!
Twelve 1/2 pans and a sponge in that first W&N travel set. Nice display of the various travel pallets. Quite a few are new to me.
Thank you. I could not remember how many came in there.
I now I have 3 of the travel palettes after watching you review or showcase them in past videos. These videos should come with an "Enabler Alert" disclaimer Ken.. Thanks for sharing your input on these as it helps me figure out what's next...like that cute little turquoise one. I use to watch Bob Ross as a kid, mesmerized at the ease of his skill. I turn his live streams on when I go to bed and drift off into landscapes in my dreams.
Lol! Thank you for watching and supporting. I really appreciate the share! Yes I do the same. I turn him on and allow my dreams to be inspired.
I am always working when the lives air, but I love catching the replays.
Can you get the the bamboo one in U.K. yet ? I love it so much .
Not yet. I have to work out international shipping. I am hoping that it will be really soon!
As an art supply junkie, this video is very dangerous!😂 Thank you for the video.
Ditto !
Thank you for the support. I didn’t realize how many palettes it actually was until I was preparing for this video.
Okay I am going to go broke watching this video! 🤣🤣
🤣🤣
Ditto !
I love the Portable painter...I might own 3 of them...😂
I can’t wait to fill it up. Just trying to find the right tubes to put in it that I don’t already have a palette made of. I might mix a bunch of pro brands in it. The micro as well.
This was such a great video. I found about 5 things to go buy 😅. All of my travel pallets are currently in altoid tins.
Thank you Ruby. I am glad you enjoyed it. Don’t buy too much at once. Pace yourself! 🤣🤣🤣
Hello all! Let’s take a look at some really cool travel systems. You may find something you like!
Thumbs up and shared. I am looking into getting me a nice gouache. Between you and TheFrugal's channel , I will pick a good one.
Thank you love for your support. There are some good gouache choices depending on what you are looking for. My look into different gouache brands will start soon.
This was such a great video!
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it. I need to do another junk journal video.
Love you and water brushes sooo much!
🤗 Luv you all back!! Glad you like the brushes!!
Thumbs up and shared. This will be a great series.
Thank you!
Thanks for the video. Liked and shared!
Thank you!
Good Morning my artsy friends! Come on in and enjoy this quick watercolor Christmas card front Timelapse. I will be back on Sunday with a cool close up look at travel palettes.
View and Ruby, congrats, y'all. Have fun with that sweet haul!
Thanks.
Congrats to the winner, and Thrifty another great video!
Thank you so very much!
Omg, Ken! That’s so stinking cute!! And freehand?? 😮
@@artnerd1970 Thank you so much! I am really learning how to control ink better from these books.
interesting, and i just love the snail house❤😊
Yes Goldi it is a super interesting product.
Happy Sunday Funday back at ya! Thanks for the video😊
Thanks for the support! I love this product.
Thank you for another great review!
Thank you!
Happy Sunday Funday my artsy friends! Here is a product that really surprised me in the end.
After giving much thought, I would say I'd like to be able to draw in ink. inking is the worst part of art making to me. I hate having to trace pencil lines so if I could skip the tracing then that would be great.
@@RLPiper This is a goal of mine as well.
This was so cool. I have so many art supply boxes. Let me make one of these now! 😂
🤣🤣 Go for it!
Awesome ❤
Thank you!
Hey there hey friends! Let’s use some inky products to craft today!
Watching now. I just ordered my Prime items. LOL. Thumbs up and shared.
Thank you for sharing!!!
I just discovered you. Will follow, definitely. Liked your honest analysis!
I am so glad that you did find the Thrifty community. Welcome!! I am always as honest as possible about products from my perspective.
I have never done inktober 😂 but I love to see what others do this month! Love your piece!
Thank you so very much! Glad you watched!😂
Thank you for reviewing this! I think I’m going to stick to their tubes ( I have the 18 set) because they seem way richer in color to me.
Yes I have the Superior masters tube set white labeled under the art whale brand. They are wonderful paints.
I'm hoping to get more proficient and a bit faster!
@@DGiarrusso I think this is the goal for a lot of this this Inktober.
