Arteza is perfectly wonderful to get started! I hear their line of acrylics are fun to use also! As for using together, both are going to be water soluble and reactivate with water after drying. The only thing you might consider when mixing is avoiding getting the gouache directly in your pans of watercolor, but that is really more because you probably don't want to add opacity to your pan of color. I would absolutely add it to my mixing wells, etc. where I can control the mix. I might grab a set also and throw up a couple of videos, but in the meantime, I can demonstrate how I use white gouache with my watercolor! 💜

Oh awesome! I hope you enjoyed it! As for gouache, I have used it before, but I do not own any currently. I have had my eye on some gouache lately though! If you don't mind me asking, what kind do you have? I am not a pro at gouache, but I have worked with the traditional gouache (non-permanent). You can also get acryl-gouache which has acrylic paint qualities and so I believe it dries permanently, which is unlike regular, which can re-wet similar to watercolor. I find gouache to be a very nice matte paint, which can be thinned out to be more the consistency of watercolor also, if you want the transparency. It can also re-wet and be reworked in layers, but has that nice opacity if you layer it more thickly. You might have given me an excuse to go get some! lol But either way, I encourage you to crack it open and give it a whirl! Gouche is a lot of fun to play with, and depending on what kind of background you like, it may end up being your preferred medium in certain circumstances. Another way to play with gouache is to get a tube of white gouache and you can mix it in your regular watercolors and make them a bit lighter and more opaque! You can get really nice pastel colors that way too. 🙂💜

I guess I should clarify - I don't own a gouache set right now, but I do keep a couple of tubes of white handy in case I want to mix it 🙂

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked the video! I was thinking about you lately and I'm so glad you commented. I was thinking about you after the hurricane. Hopefully all is well 💜

Thank you yes we are good and things broken can be fixed. Born in Florida so well versed on Hurricanes 🌀 Hope all is well with you

So glad all is well 💜

Haha! I felt the same way this week! I just wanted to stay home and play. I hope you're having a great week though! Thanks for watching! 💜

Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed the video! 💜

I'm so glad you like them! Hope you give them a try 💜

Thank you for your awesome feedback, as always! I hope you have a great day 💜

Thank you for the tip! I had thought I bought stickers, but then I didn't think they came apart! I hope people see this comment 🙂 Thank you for watching!💜

Oooh! That's exciting! I hope you love it! 💜

Happy Thanksgiving to you too! Ours is the end of next month, but it's always a good time to enjoy turkey. I guess the pumpkin video had good timing! 💜

Hello! I am actually using Canson in this series! It is their spiral watercolor paper book, 7"x10", 140 lb cellulose. It has 30 sheets and I got it locally at Michaels on sale. I don't normally use Canson for painting (although I do love inexpensive cellulose paper for some things where I'm embracing the blooms!). However, it is great for swatches, tests, and lots of things where you might not want to use more expensive paper. It has worked very well as a swatch library, especially since it is inexpensive. I have also painted both sides of each page and it's holding up well! 💜If you want to use Canson and get a good deal, Michaels often has sales on their paper pads for up to half off, so it's worth the wait to stock up. Those sales do not include Arches, however. As a side note - I think cellulose paper performs better for wet on dry without using a lot of water. When I get very wet and watery, cotton holds up much better for me.

Haha! Well that just means it's extra useful! You had great ideas so I'm glad it is on here for folks to see 🙂 thank you for watching and commenting!! 💜

They sure do! It's one of my favorite things 💜

Love that idea! 💜

Thank YOU! I always look forward to your feedback and I am so glad you enjoy the videos 💜 have a beautiful day!!!

Thank you for such a lovely comment, and I am so glad you find ideas from my video uploads! Just keep trusting your gut and if there is something you don't like or do like, just take a moment to ask yourself why you feel that way 🙂 I always enjoy your feedback! 💜

I also want to add - please stay safe in the storm. So many people have been having a rough time lately and now another one is coming through. I will keep you in my thoughts 💜

It was fun, and thank you! I think prairie is so beautiful with the wide open sky and land. I think in a painting, putting your horizon way up or way down to focus on land or sky would be wonderful! 💜

Hello, and thank you!! So, I am still a beginner when it comes to those distress inks, but I thought your question presented an excellent opportunity for me to learn something too! I looked up both, and apparently here are the differences: distress ink is dye based, more transparent so it appears brighter on light backgrounds, can be a little more challenging to blend, dries faster, and will have a bleach effect when water is added. It is better for creating a weathered, vintage effect. Distress oxide is a mix of pigment and dye, slower drying, and more opaque, which allows it to look brighter on dark backgrounds. It is also easier to blend and while it also gets lighter when water is added/dropped into it, it still retains color for an oxidized look. I hope that helps, and I also found the information very interesting! 💜

@KateMilesArt Thank you for the great information! I haven't used either one yet, but looking forward to trying both! Love the look it gave to your watercolor!

You're very welcome! 💜

You are very welcome! 🤗 I am so glad that it helped clear up some of the similarities and differences of each palette. Whichever one you choose, I am sure you will love it! Thank you for watching 💜

I'm so glad! I always love your feedback 💜

Oh good, I'm so glad! 💜

I'm so glad you liked it! Enjoy your experimenting and have a great day yourself! 💜

Hi Maria! I actually mostly use acrylic inks, but some spread better than others. I get a nice spread with the Amsterdam inks and PH Martin does pretty well too on most colors except white. White tends to stay put. Daler Rowney probably has the most spread as far as acrylic inks go, at least the ones I have. There are some fluid watercolors that would spread more, and Michaels has their own brand. I also hear Ecoline is good but I've never tried it 🙂 I haven't tried Liquitex acrylic ink yet either, but if another viewer has, hopefully they will leave a comment 💜 some acrylic inks have a bit more of a resist quality where they will push watercolor out of the way and still spread, which can also be a beautiful effect!

I will try to up the volume on my next upload. I am actually preparing it right now! Let me know if that makes a difference 🙂💜

That's always great to hear! Thank you for your lovely comment! 💜

Yes! It does go through the paper a bit with the alcohol. So just be careful on surfaces. I work over contact paper so I don't worry about it so much but you can see the marks in my videos 😂 I'm so glad you like them! 💜

I'm so glad it worked out for you! Please update me on the final result! I hope you love them like I do💜

Hello, and thank you! I don't have a link to that exact stencil, but I buy some of those multi packs of stencils on Amazon and I have also done that on Temu. To me, it's a pretty good value for a variety of stencils. Here's a link to some: amzn.to/3N4WMcH💜

Thank you!! Those are my favorites too, I can't resist! Haha 💜

It's good to see you too! Sorry I've been away for a couple of weeks! 💜 And yes you can coat with matte medium to reduce shine 🙂 I like them for transparency but not so much the shine either 😂

Thank you! 💜

Thanks for the feedback! Have a great day!

Love this, Kate! Will definitely give it a go!

I'm so glad you liked it! Keep up the practice and keep having fun 💜

Thank you Jane! 💜

I love picking out shapes! I looked for the person and I think I saw it! 💜 Thank you for watching!

@@KateMilesArt thanks for creating!

You're welcome! 💜

Thank you for the lovely comment! And you stay strong as well 💜 I think weaving your art into your main channel is a wonderful idea. And I think art is also so therapeutic. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you! 💜

You're welcome! 💜

Not dumb at all! I do leave them in. Maybe it's lazy but I have never had a problem with them being in there and they don't interfere with using the ink. You could take them out after a few days if you like, though! 💜

@@KateMilesArt Thank you. I would leave them in as well!

You're welcome! 💜

That's a fabulous idea! I've heard of people using eyeshadow and binder to make metallic watercolor pan paints too! It's amazing what we can create when we're creative with our supplies. Thank you for sharing! 💜

You are very welcome, I hope you enjoy them! I love using them with watercolor and acrylic paints both, and they add another layer of fun and interest, especially with the resist effect💜 Happy creating!

Thank you so much, that is so sweet of you! 💜💜💜 I am glad they worked and you had fun!

Glad it was helpful! Inks are a lot of fun both on their own and combined with watercolor and/or acrylic paint. I just love how versatile they are. 💜

Hello! I'm working on that video soon 💜 I have had several request so I'm gonna get it done! Haha

@@KateMilesArt oh fantastic 🎨🤩

💜

I'm glad they are easy to follow! That's my goal, so if you find these helpful, that's awesome! Thank you for your feedback and happy creating! 💜
