such as?

Calcium carbonate

You can use rubbing alcohol

It has a lot to do with the pigment quality some pigments have higher lightfastness than others

I don't know mutch about the matrials or the cost to make gouche but I think people make it on there own if they have a certain consistency or color they want there paint to be. It would also be kind of cool to have a painting that was done with paint you mixed yourself

You can try using Corn Syrup instead of honey.

Honey prevents mold. You would have to replace honey with something that prevents molding. Usually honey is the cheapest option.

@@truptiratnaparkhi1664 Corn Syrup will not retard bacteria as honey will, it is not a sweetener in this case

Sarah burns advises to use clove bud oil

I dont think so or it wont be as good as regular gouache because gouache adds more pigment and lesser binder

thats called oil paint.. my god (face palm)

Hi! I'm the person in this video. There seems to be very limited information about how far you can stretch this medium. My guess is that it would act similarly to watercolor or gouache that does lift up with water. However I could be wrong. This video was an assignment for class that intended to fill in the gaps of accessible information available online to fellow artists. I would suggest doing your own tests and let us know!

You're varnishing clay with polyurethane? Are you applying this to greenware or bisque? Are these clay sculptures or are you using them for dishes?

Hi L, I've used the white egg glair for varnish polychromed egg tempera plaster, it worked really fine, it leaves a beatiful sink texture to the egg tempera over the plaster and it does not turn yellowish in a short time, but unless if it is in a smoke area. It is extreme sensitive to water and is not really resistant to friction. It was the most common paint and varnish technique in the 19th century for the ceiling plaster ornaments. They used to add some Mica powder as purpurine to the egg white varnish in order to give to the floral ornaments a wet aspect. He it could help you. Regards

School chalk is usually made from gypsum (calcium sulfate) whereas Champagne chalk is calcium carbonate. Kremer pigments offer excellent pigments (and Champagne chalk), but you can also get pigments by Schmincke, Sennelier and other brands, if you want to pay more. Just be aware that some pigments are extremely toxic, e.g. cadmiums (reds) and cobalts (blues). Do a thourough research before you embark on the adventure of making your own colours. A simple way of making your own gouache colours without going through the hassle of working with pigments, is to mix Champagne chalk or even Chinese white into your watercolour tube paints. The white will alter the colour, of course, but it will also make it more opaque therefore transforming watercolour into gouache.

HerculePoirot thanks for your time and explanation !

HerculePoirot, thanks for your awesome name. Aggy would be proud 😉

Hi Mary, So glad you used this video! If the paint is gritty, it is likely a result of the pigment needing more mulling. Each pigment mulls differently and some are more gritty than others. Certain pigments require the use of a muller if pushing and smoothing the pigment is not enough with the palette knife. Certain pigments require more medium also. Hope this helps! Good luck!

For watercolors, you get the best results when you disperse the pigments with grain neutral alcohol and distilled water with a roughened glass muller on a roughened glass plate until the alcohol has evaporated before adding the medium.
