Hello, I know this was three years ago but I thought I'd ask how it was going after all this time. I was wanting to put some of my Arteza gouache in a custom pallette and wanted some info on how well they rewet. Honey is a great idea but I'd like to know how it reacted to the gouache as I've only ever used it in watercolor.
i love that you are always 100% honest in your reviews. I never know about other reveiwers and usually your opinion is the only one i completley trust.. Love from Australia
I know Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
I really love the Arteza gouache. My mom surprised me with the set of 24 for Christmas last year when I didn't even tell her I wanted it in the first place. And just recently the set of 60 went on a lightning deal for $30, so we went ahead and got it on the grounds I don't actually get it till my bday in November. The wait is going to be killer! LOL.
Hi Lindsay. Greetings from the UK and many thanks for yet another wonderful video. I have been contemplating Arteza gouache paint (Heavens above, not MORE colour pleads my poor long suffering OH!!) and am most grateful for your help in my decision making. The time, trouble and professionalism you bring to your channel and your review-honesty is very much appreciated and, when you say "Buy", I know I can do so with full confidence in the product. You should be declared a world-wide treasure young lady! Thank you for everything you do to inspire, encourage and educate....I am truly grateful. With warm regards and very best wishes, Marion in the UK.
Waauw, adding glycerine to the containers to sort of glew them together: WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA !!! Thank you so much for all your brilliant ideas in all your videos !!!! Lots of greetings from the Netherlands ;-)
I just ordered this set because of your wonderful information. If my hubby is upset I'm blaming you. Haaaahaaa!!!!! This set is on Amazon US right now with a $10 off coupon making the set a killer deal at $39.99. You honestly make my day every time I see that you have done a new review or tutorial. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for explaining about these paints. Can’t wait for my order to arrive. I’ll be watching tomorrow when your other video is released.❤️👍🏼
Thank you for this review! I love all of the products I have purchased from Arteza so far. I have been wondering about the gouache for a while. I definitely would want the metallics, so the 60 set is probably my best bet. Some of those colors are gorgeous. And those food illustrations....so beautiful!!! I think I need to paint some food. 😊 Thanks again. I love your reviews!!
Yay Lindsey, another fantastic review! I don't need more art supplies but really have been wanting to try these. They are all sold out now on Arteza and Amazon, probably due to your review.
I always love your reviews and swatches are especially helpful! Thank you for always being so dependable and methodical in your reviews. Your honesty is so refreshing.
Ooohhh, your pump bottle is gorgeous!!! Great review too. Omg, the burger, all your food pics making me hungry. They are all beautiful. What a gorgeous sketchbook.
I agree! The burger, though it may be a veggie burger, looks good enough to eat!😊 That pastry looks so yummy. The red flowers are gorgeous! Her hen is my favorite! She is precious!
@@cassiescreations9828 They are all amazing. She is so talented and such a great teacher with a great attitude & personality. So happy I found her channel.
Thank you Lindsay. I really enjoy your reviews and painting videos. I've been using the 24 set for a bit now and really enjoy them. I have some WN gouache as well and find some of the color comparable, especially if I'm working on a piece I know I'm going to scan. The opacity is really good in this brand. I'm so so curious about how/who makes their paint formulations/manufacturing. Very interesting. Agree with you, not a huge fan of the watercolors. It's hard for me to compare them to my beloved MGraham. But, I really think the gouache is nice and the watercolors are even good for papercrafting projects. Hadn't tried their paper line yet and I see they have new sketchbooks. Interesting! Thank you for sharing. I so enjoy your work.
Lindsay, Thank you so much for doing this review. I have been wanting to try my hand with gwash. And have been considering the Arteza. I am limited with funds but still did not want bad paint either. I have been checking some other reviews on them as well. It seems most everyone seems to like the Arteza gwash. But your opinion when it comes to paint, means a lot. So very happy you did this. You art looked so great by the way. By the way, I bought the Pretty Excellent watercolors after your review. I do like them. They are great for there price. TFS
Hello, my dear! Thank you for doing this for us! I'm looking to try gouache and I came straight to you for advice. I've just ordered the Arteza set and very excited to work with them. (I have their acrylics & love them.) I always appreciate your candor and honesty when I get ready to purchase a new art supply. Thank you very much, Lindsay. Btw? I thought your painting of the amaryllis was stunningly beautiful. Love & Bless xo
just noticed "your" art set on jerrys congrats lindsay that's such an awesome accomplishment ,makes me feel that much better about jerrys which i already absolutely love combined with your expertise and honesty it all makes me happy for you and for those of us that can purchase
Lindsay when you finish a project you need to write down what art supplies you used so you do not have to try and remember them. It makes it so much more easy. Love Terri Simmers.
I agree soooo much about the gouache being a better watercolor than the watercolor. After a long time of refusing to buy anything Arteza, because there just happens to be something about this company that I do not fully like or trust, I saw both the gouache and the watercolor on sale. First I found the 24 set of gouache for 12Euros, so I figured that this is my chance to try it out without regretting it too much afterwards if I don't like it. I tried it, and I must say that I was/am quite happy with it. Obviously there are much better gouches out there, but for this price (the regular price here is 19 Euros for 24 and 44 Euros for 60) I don't think that you'll have an easy time finding something truly better. So after I had this good experience with their gouache, I figured I should also finally give their watercolors a try, and when I saw them on sale for 19 Euros for the tin of 36, I went ahead and got them and I was not really impressed. I would never call them bad paints, because they are not, I have already had quite a bit of fun with them and I think that they are wonderful for mixed media and pretty good for illustrations, but I surely would never recommend them to anyone looking for regular watercolors. Yes, the gouache is more watercolor-ish than the watercolors, for sure. At the same time, the watercolors remind me a bit of watered down gouache, which is why I think they are a nice choice for illustrations. I find that using the gouache and the watercolors together is really good, too, they work great together, and this is how I am going to be using them, since I have them both. But if I had to make a buying choice again, with the knowledge that I have now, I would definitely only get the gouache. I know that I will rebuy the gouche, I might even go ahead and get the metallic set or the box of 60, but even though I do not regret getting the watercolors (I mean, come on, for 19 Euros they were a steal) I would not choose to buy them again because they simply cannot do anything that the gouache can't.
I like their metallics a lot but their own 12 set isn't worth it to me. It's just mica. I was sad to see that after I bought them. But I think the 60 set is a good value though.
Am i the odd nut here who enjoy watching swatches being done. I must have watched nearly 100 swatches for jelly gouache, and another 200 for other painting mediums.
I am going back to gouache in tubes. I have tryed the Miya himi gouache and i have tryed many diffrent paints and i always come out dissapionted whit them. So i wanna go back to gouach but not the gouach from miya himi gouache but the better and more colours gouache from arteaza. I have never seen metalic gouache colours before. I love this review of the arteaza gouache
Great review! Even if I already have a product I enjoy watching anyway :) I usually learn something new. It's worth keeping an eye on the 60 set on Amazon if interested, since even though it is $63 at the moment, I got it for $40 since it was listed as $50 with a $10 off coupon. And about a week after I purchased it it had gone down even more to $40 with a $10 off coupon. And it was available with prime shipping at that time.
@@cassiescreations9828 if there's a coupon it'll be ok the product page below the price. Arteza coupons stack with lightning deals so keep that in mind
Love your sketchbook. I am impressed on how you used the gouache on your drawings. Can you store arteza gouache in metal palettes for easier access than in cubes. Thx for your reply.
Thanks Lindsay, for another lightening-fast review full of useful information. I see that Amazon is pushing Arteza products pretty hard and I wondered about the quality in general. I haven't used gouache since way back in the 20th century and have recently thought about revisiting them.
Thank you for this. I have been really enjoying my gel plates lately. I have watched Carolyn Dube use gouache on hers. I just ordered this set with your Amazon link. $33.58 for the set of 60. I am starting Christmas cards tomorrow. These should arrive the next day. I think that the convenience colors will make it easy. I enjoy die cutting my gel prints. Steel rule dies cut through any paper I use on the gel plate. My goal is to have 500 images by the end of the week. Mainly tattered poinsettia, Christmas trees, and snowflakes.
Wow the colours are so cool and a good price for 60 colours of gouach if you ask me. Wen i am out of gouach i am gonna buy arteza gouach. I am a newbie in the painting area. I am still learning about gouache. I,ve heard its a fine medium to work whit. I love you,re video.
As far as the 30-page Arteza watercolor pad, I found that flipping it over and using the backs of the pages was better with gouache. There's something about the front sides that bugged me.
it is a monthly membership club where you can submit your paintings for me to critique and help you with and I post two of my sketchbook Sunday videos that I time lapse here on RUclips in a long format with narration (2 a month) so even if you don't have a painting to post you can enjoy those as part of your $5 a month membership. You can learn more here: lindsayweirich.teachable.com/p/critique-club
I thought these were acrylic based? But they re-wet?! That's kind of awesome. I have a set of M Grahams from Christmas I haven't even played with yet, but the color range is SUPER limited and I like convenience colors in opaque paints (like acrylics...) so this set if very appealing to me now that I know they aren't acrylic based and can rewet on a palette.
hellanistpunk I’ve tried this a couple times for some mistakes, and it works well since it won’t mess with the color scheme of your piece. It is important to note that gouache and watercolor have a different sheen, so at certain angles you can see the matte gouache stand out against the less-matte watercolor areas. If the gouache is minimal you might not notice though 😊
You do such a great job of testing and reviewing, thanks. Have you used acrylic gouache? They sound like something I would like to use in my art journaling but they are expensive.
try the turner try it brand of 24 acryl-gouache, they are great quality and the set is $25 or so at jerrys artarama, you will have a nce selection to see if you like them and their larger tubes are affordable as well. Here is my favorite project with that paint: thefrugalcrafter.wordpress.com/2015/08/15/lorraines-wildflower-boquet-in-acrylics-tutorial/
Thanks for another great review! Can't wait to pour out my 24 set into a palette! How much glycerin can you add before you notice a difference in the matte quality of the gouache paint? Is 3 drops enough / too much for say a 5 ml pan? Is it necessary to add glycerin if the lid to my palette meets the sides of the palette spaces? Paula in Florida
Is there a gouache that is more watercolor and another that is more acrylic?? In other words, what is the difference between the Arteza Gouache and the Turner "Acrylic" Gouache?? Or is it just a misleading title?? Thank you so much for all you share!!
No, it's not misleading. The turned acrylic gouache (or any a acrylic gouache) is simply a matte acrylic paint do you cang rework it when dry. Regular gouache like arteza (also called designers gouache) is simply an opaque watercolor. You can reset it after it is dry and rework ig or use dried paint on your palette as it dosnt go to waste like acrylic gouache would. Both have their uses.
Arteza got sneaky. I wanted to try gouache and just received the 60 set (30 dollar sale) and there are only 6 metallic colors from their 12 set. There is still 12 metallics but you would have to buy the official 12 metallic set to get an extra 6 or the larger 36 set to get them all.
I ordered this set from the uk for 50 euro incl shipping. Silly price. Couldnt resist anymore,lol. hope the uk delivery is not slowed down due to brexit mayham; other than that cant wait to play with m
You have such helpful and honest reviews, Thank You Lindsey! Are these 'traditional" or "acrylic" ? I just got a set of 60 for Christmas, and I want to be sure they will not dry up if I put them in a palette, Well, I just thought it over and I suppose you answered that when you said you have them in those square boxes, for your palatte ! While I have painted with watercolor and acrylic, these gouache are very new to me. Thanks and Happy New Year!
Thank you, Lindsay. I bought a student set of Gouache so would love some tutorials with it or with it and watercolour, please? What would be the most lightfast gouache to buy for a painting, not a sketchbook?
the ratings on this gouache are high but I'd probably turn to Schminke Horadam gouache if lightfastness was my #1 concern. Steve Mitchel from the RUclips channel The Mind of Watercolor just did a comparison of high end gouache I recommend you check out that video as he has a lot of lightfast info on that one and color recommendations.
Thanks for this great and thorough review. I was thinking about getting the Arteza Gouache paints but wasn't sure if they are worth it, since their watercolors are crap imo. But now I'll definitely give them a try. Also, the chicken at 17:24 looks more like a hawk than a chicken (the beak is curved too much downwards at the end), lol. Or is it meant to be a chicken/hawk hybrid? ;P
I was the 900th person to give a thumbs up. For my prize, I'd love to have a print of your ROOSTER. Ha Ha! I know I don't get a prize but if I did...I guess I can dream, right. Seriously, your video is very helpful. Thanks so much. 😊
Hello are there eunough skin tone colours in the 60 gouache set? I orderd accidentally the arteaza acrylic set instead of the gouach set. I get them april 14. I love you,re review of the arteza gouache 60 colours set. Have fun painting greeting parna donkers from the Netherlands
Hello Linsday i,ve orderd the arteza gouache too cause i wanna see the difference between Acrylic and Gouache. It was now on sale on Amazon. From 112 euro,s for 48,41. Thats a great deal. I recive the gouache wensday. So i have alot of time to work whit the gouache. Have a great day. Greetings from parna donkers from the Netherlands
Hi Lindsey, thanks for the review! Do you have any affiliate links with Amazon for Canson or Strathmore pastel pads? I'm planning to buy some sketch pads and such in the coming weeks so I could send some love your way. I'm looking at Arteza, Canson and Strathmore at the moment.
5:03 A swatch over a black line on white paper, is NOT comparable to a swatch on all black paper: the black line showing through comes not just from the fact it is black, but that there is contrast with it and the white paper.
Since gouache crumbles so much when squeezed out, is it okay to use from the tube or does that dry the tube out, as well? I had one set of gouache and dropped them. They shattered and mixed into such tiny particles, I threw them away. I thought I entered this comment today but didn't. Maybe someone watching can answer my question.
I'm not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but the most common way I see gouache used is by squirting small amounts fresh from the tube onto a mixing surface, recapping the tubes, and then continuing to add more fresh to the mixing surface when the painter runs out. I'm pretty new to gouache personally, so I can't speak with significant personal authority, but this is the technique I've been using, due to its prevalence, and it's been working for me, so far. Best of luck to you! :)
@@cassiescreations9828 Ah, but M Graham is somewhat unique in the water-based paint world. They use a significant quantity of honey in their watercolors and gouache, which keeps their paints consistently much more moist than other brands. This can be a great thing, but it means your experiences with M Graham are going to be fairly unique, whether or not that works for you. ^^
I'm a relatively new subscriber to your channel. This tutorial was really helpful to me, but as newbie as this sounds could you please tell me what the GSM weight means. I did not understand it much when you talked a bit about it. So how would I be able to tell if it's good paper or not.
@@cherryshrimp4120 Yes it does, 150 GSM as Lyndsey was showing is about the thickness of 2 pieces of cheap copy paper stuck together. A lot of watercolour paper is 300gsm which is cardstock thickness. Hope that helps.
@Cherry Shrimp No, the weight of paper is just one of several factors and quality also depends on what you expect from your paper and what you plan to use it for. A Paper that will damage nearly all brush pens because of its surface is probably perfect for pastels or pencils, maybe even for watercolor. There is a bit more to paper and it's quality. You need to know what you expect from your paper and then go and look up the factors that are important for this and what happens if one of it changes. (paper material, size, surface texture/smoothness, thickness, waterresistant or not, hot or cold pressed....) A heavier paper is not necessarily thicker, that is a fallacy. It depends on a few factors i.e. the type of paper you have - is it made out of wood or out of cotton - these materials have different weights and a cotton paper will be thinner but not have less quality. My 60gsm paper is thicker than my 80gsm paper, that I use for lettering. For watercolor paper you can use the gsm to get a good guess in what range this paper might be, in terms of thickness, a 200gsm paper will be thinner as one with 450gsm. But 250gsm vs 300gsm could be nearly no difference in thickness, but has an effect of how much water it can take etc.
I was wondering, can one buy individual tubes if you were to run out on a particular color? Can’t seem to find that information on the site. Great video, thanks much
No, theyhave a smaller set with the colors you are most likely to use up but you might want to purchase an individual tube of artist grade after you use up the student colors and know what you want. I like m graham gouache for artist grade.
@@thefrugalcrafter Haha. Yeah. I had trouble with jelly cups drying out but the Annigoni has a special foam pad to remedy that whereas the Arrtx I had didnt. However seeing the paints altogether is not. I actually made an unboxing video & found 2 od the cups cracked. A replacement is coming tomorrow, so I’ll make another video. Thx for replying & the info on the quality! God bless!
It shouldn't unless you added so much if thinned the paint a lot. A thinner wash of color is less permanent than a mass tone application. I would recommend m Graham or achminke gouache with high lightfast ratings is permanence is a concern over a budget brand tho.
They do, I am a bit leery about trusting the lightfast ratings of companies who private label all of their products tho as sometimes info gets mixed up in translation. I'd do a swatch and put in in a sunny window for a couple of months and see what happens if you are going to sell your work.
Thanks so much for the video. I have been looking at these and they have a giveaway over on their fb page.. Hope to win them. You've sold me. Love your videos.
i bought the 24 set and put honey in the paint to keep it from cracking. It also made it easier to rewet.
Hello, I know this was three years ago but I thought I'd ask how it was going after all this time. I was wanting to put some of my Arteza gouache in a custom pallette and wanted some info on how well they rewet.

They can crack and fall out. You want to have them separated so they can't mix up when and crack.
your work is stunning..thank you for all you do to teach the rest of us.. I don't see the link for the Gouache.
Love your reviews and art ❤ vert inspirational
Thanks for doing this review as I was wanting to try this media.
Thanks Lindsay, for another lightening-fast review full of useful information. I see that Amazon is pushing Arteza products pretty hard and I wondered about the quality in general. I haven't used gouache since way back in the 20th century and have recently thought about revisiting them.
They are awesome!
Lindsay, I just love the blue bottle!!!!! my FAV!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this. I have been really enjoying my gel plates lately. I have watched Carolyn Dube use gouache on hers. I just ordered this set with your Amazon link. $33.58 for the set of 60. I am starting Christmas cards tomorrow. These should arrive the next day. I think that the convenience colors will make it easy. I enjoy die cutting my gel prints. Steel rule dies cut through any paper I use on the gel plate. My goal is to have 500 images by the end of the week. Mainly tattered poinsettia, Christmas trees, and snowflakes.
wow, that is the lowest price I have seen!
@@thefrugalcrafter Thank you for confirming it was a good buy! Amazon had a 20% off coupon on them.
Thanks for the review!! It was very helpful!!
Wow the colours are so cool and a good price for 60 colours of gouach if you ask me. Wen i am out of gouach i am gonna buy arteza gouach. I am a newbie in the painting area. I am still learning about gouache. I,ve heard its a fine medium to work whit. I love you,re video.
Nice to know Lindsay, I love arteza products. But don't have any Gouache Yet. Thanks so much for the video.
I liked all the information, from someone who uses this medium
As far as the 30-page Arteza watercolor pad, I found that flipping it over and using the backs of the pages was better with gouache. There's something about the front sides that bugged me.
Good to know, I use the back side for stamping and coloring with the pens.
I am so glad you made this video! Ty
Lindsay, what is the critic club? I love the chicken!!!!!!!they all are beautiful!!!! food looks so real to eat! Awesome sketch book!!
it is a monthly membership club where you can submit your paintings for me to critique and help you with and I post two of my sketchbook Sunday videos that I time lapse here on RUclips in a long format with narration (2 a month) so even if you don't have a painting to post you can enjoy those as part of your $5 a month membership. You can learn more here: lindsayweirich.teachable.com/p/critique-club
Isn't that hen just precious? I love it too!
Wow I wish that I could paint like that.
Thanks for a detailed review. Really useful
Very informative. Thanks you!
We had pizza delivered for dinner tonight, and I'm wishing that pizza had looked half as appetizing as the slice you painted. Lol
Great review as always. I’m trying to get rid of supplies it these are very tempting!!
I know what you mean:)
I thought these were acrylic based? But they re-wet?! That's kind of awesome. I have a set of M Grahams from Christmas I haven't even played with yet, but the color range is SUPER limited and I like convenience colors in opaque paints (like acrylics...) so this set if very appealing to me now that I know they aren't acrylic based and can rewet on a palette.
Lindsay your video was great I tried to bu them and they were all sold out at Arteza sight and on amazon they do not ship to the USA.
The chicken in your book is amazing
I agree! She is just precious!
These look amazing!! Thank you!!
I've heard you can add watercolour to white gouache to use if you just want to cover mistakes, has anyone tried this?
hellanistpunk I’ve tried this a couple times for some mistakes, and it works well since it won’t mess with the color scheme of your piece. It is important to note that gouache and watercolor have a different sheen, so at certain angles you can see the matte gouache stand out against the less-matte watercolor areas. If the gouache is minimal you might not notice though 😊
You do such a great job of testing and reviewing, thanks. Have you used acrylic gouache? They sound like something I would like to use in my art journaling but they are expensive.
try the turner try it brand of 24 acryl-gouache, they are great quality and the set is $25 or so at jerrys artarama, you will have a nce selection to see if you like them and their larger tubes are affordable as well. Here is my favorite project with that paint: thefrugalcrafter.wordpress.com/2015/08/15/lorraines-wildflower-boquet-in-acrylics-tutorial/
Excellent info - thank you!
Great Review💛💛 tks^^
Humm didn’t realize this was a review for Paul Ruben.
Hello, thanks for this video. Would you also consider doing a review of Jeece Finest gouache paint set?😊
Thanks for another great review! Can't wait to pour out my 24 set into a palette! How much glycerin can you add before you notice a difference in the matte quality of the gouache paint? Is 3 drops enough / too much for say a 5 ml pan? Is it necessary to add glycerin if the lid to my palette meets the sides of the palette spaces?
Paula in Florida
I don’t think they have this anymore 😞
Wow! Need to get those ❤️
Is there a gouache that is more watercolor and another that is more acrylic?? In other words, what is the difference between the Arteza Gouache and the Turner "Acrylic" Gouache?? Or is it just a misleading title?? Thank you so much for all you share!!
No, it's not misleading. The turned acrylic gouache (or any a acrylic gouache) is simply a matte acrylic paint do you cang rework it when dry. Regular gouache like arteza (also called designers gouache) is simply an opaque watercolor. You can reset it after it is dry and rework ig or use dried paint on your palette as it dosnt go to waste like acrylic gouache would. Both have their uses.
Thank you so much!!
Arteza got sneaky. I wanted to try gouache and just received the 60 set (30 dollar sale) and there are only 6 metallic colors from their 12 set. There is still 12 metallics but you would have to buy the official 12 metallic set to get an extra 6 or the larger 36 set to get them all.
I just ordered and I hope that's the case for me. I have soooo many metallic watercolor already, lol.
I ordered this set from the uk for 50 euro incl shipping. Silly price. Couldnt resist anymore,lol. hope the uk delivery is not slowed down due to brexit mayham; other than that cant wait to play with m
You have such helpful and honest reviews, Thank You Lindsey! Are these 'traditional" or "acrylic" ? I just got a set of 60 for Christmas, and I want to be sure they will not dry up if I put them in a palette, Well, I just thought it over and I suppose you answered that when you said you have them in those square boxes, for your palatte ! While I have painted with watercolor and acrylic, these gouache are very new to me.
Thanks and Happy New Year!
These are traditional
Thank you, Lindsay. I bought a student set of Gouache so would love some tutorials with it or with it and watercolour, please? What would be the most lightfast gouache to buy for a painting, not a sketchbook?
the ratings on this gouache are high but I'd probably turn to Schminke Horadam gouache if lightfastness was my #1 concern. Steve Mitchel from the RUclips channel The Mind of Watercolor just did a comparison of high end gouache I recommend you check out that video as he has a lot of lightfast info on that one and color recommendations.
Thank for this video review
Thanks for this great and thorough review. I was thinking about getting the Arteza Gouache paints but wasn't sure if they are worth it, since their watercolors are crap imo. But now I'll definitely give them a try.
Also, the chicken at 17:24 looks more like a hawk than a chicken (the beak is curved too much downwards at the end), lol. Or is it meant to be a chicken/hawk hybrid? ;P
The gouache is much better
I was the 900th person to give a thumbs up. For my prize, I'd love to have a print of your ROOSTER. Ha Ha! I know I don't get a prize but if I did...I guess I can dream, right. Seriously, your video is very helpful. Thanks so much. 😊
Lindsay , plz can u help what can use as paint for ceramic ??
I just purchased the 60 set, and I wanted to put them in pans, will they crack and crumble if I do that? Or should I add glycerin ? Thanks Lindsay!!
I’m wondering if you have tried their acrylic paint? I am thinking of picking them up for art journaling
Hi Lindsay! What's that art journal you're using? Thank you! 😊
Why did you fill the gouche in Boxes instead of using it directly out of the tube?
I found it more convienient
Hello are there eunough skin tone colours in the 60 gouache set? I orderd accidentally the arteaza acrylic set instead of the gouach set. I get them april 14. I love you,re review of the arteza gouache 60 colours set. Have fun painting greeting parna donkers from the Netherlands
Im not sure as I usually mix my skin tones
Ok thanks i am currently working whit india inkt but its to expensive thats way i wanna go back to gouach paint. I love the colours
Its so cool that you mix you,re own skin colours
Hello Linsday i,ve orderd the arteza gouache too cause i wanna see the difference between Acrylic and Gouache. It was now on sale on Amazon. From 112 euro,s for 48,41. Thats a great deal. I recive the gouache wensday. So i have alot of time to work whit the gouache. Have a great day. Greetings from parna donkers from the Netherlands
What’s the difference in water color and Gouache?
Oh! No wonder they're sold out now! I was looking at them last week, and suddenly it was out of stock. 😂
Hi Lindsey, thanks for the review! Do you have any affiliate links with Amazon for Canson or Strathmore pastel pads? I'm planning to buy some sketch pads and such in the coming weeks so I could send some love your way. I'm looking at Arteza, Canson and Strathmore at the moment.
If you click on any if my links in the video description and then shop for what you want i will earn a commission on it. Thank you!
5:03 A swatch over a black line on white paper, is NOT comparable to a swatch on all black paper: the black line showing through comes not just from the fact it is black, but that there is contrast with it and the white paper.
Since gouache crumbles so much when squeezed out, is it okay to use from the tube or does that dry the tube out, as well? I had one set of gouache and dropped them. They shattered and mixed into such tiny particles, I threw them away. I thought I entered this comment today but didn't. Maybe someone watching can answer my question.
I'm not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but the most common way I see gouache used is by squirting small amounts fresh from the tube onto a mixing surface, recapping the tubes, and then continuing to add more fresh to the mixing surface when the painter runs out. I'm pretty new to gouache personally, so I can't speak with significant personal authority, but this is the technique I've been using, due to its prevalence, and it's been working for me, so far. Best of luck to you! :)
You are right, do what you prefer
@@ariweaver1543 Thanks! I have several tubes of M Graham watercolors and they don't dry out so my experience with gouache surprised me.
@@thefrugalcrafterThanks! My experience with gouache surprised me because I have tubes of M Graham watercolors that don't dry out, of course.
@@cassiescreations9828 Ah, but M Graham is somewhat unique in the water-based paint world. They use a significant quantity of honey in their watercolors and gouache, which keeps their paints consistently much more moist than other brands. This can be a great thing, but it means your experiences with M Graham are going to be fairly unique, whether or not that works for you. ^^
I bought the 60 gouache but I can’t find an empty pan container that holds 60. Arteza’s is only 48 :(
Thank you so much. I would like to ask where did you get that book from that you Swatch your Paints in? I think your videos are great.
It was the black sketchbook from Arteza and I glued in some watercolor paper so I could swatch on white too.
I'm a relatively new subscriber to your channel. This tutorial was really helpful to me, but as newbie as this sounds could you please tell me what the GSM weight means. I did not understand it much when you talked a bit about it. So how would I be able to tell if it's good paper or not.
gsm = grams per square meter
@@Tippel3 Thank you for replying. So does it mean the higher the GSM number the better quality or thickness of the paper.
@@cherryshrimp4120 Yes it does, 150 GSM as Lyndsey was showing is about the thickness of 2 pieces of cheap copy paper stuck together. A lot of watercolour paper is 300gsm which is cardstock thickness. Hope that helps.
@@jeanedmunds536 Yes. Thank you it does help me understand it better now.
@Cherry Shrimp
No, the weight of paper is just one of several factors and quality also depends on what you expect from your paper and what you plan to use it for. A Paper that will damage nearly all brush pens because of its surface is probably perfect for pastels or pencils, maybe even for watercolor.
There is a bit more to paper and it's quality. You need to know what you expect from your paper and then go and look up the factors that are important for this and what happens if one of it changes. (paper material, size, surface texture/smoothness, thickness, waterresistant or not, hot or cold pressed....)
A heavier paper is not necessarily thicker, that is a fallacy. It depends on a few factors i.e. the type of paper you have - is it made out of wood or out of cotton - these materials have different weights and a cotton paper will be thinner but not have less quality. My 60gsm paper is thicker than my 80gsm paper, that I use for lettering. For watercolor paper you can use the gsm to get a good guess in what range this paper might be, in terms of thickness, a 200gsm paper will be thinner as one with 450gsm. But 250gsm vs 300gsm could be nearly no difference in thickness, but has an effect of how much water it can take etc.
I was wondering, can one buy individual tubes if you were to run out on a particular color? Can’t seem to find that information on the site. Great video, thanks much
No, theyhave a smaller set with the colors you are most likely to use up but you might want to purchase an individual tube of artist grade after you use up the student colors and know what you want. I like m graham gouache for artist grade.
@@thefrugalcrafter Thank you very much
How many shades of brown/natural tones?
Do you still prefer the Annigoni over these Arteza gouaches?
Quality wise I think they are the same. It just depends if you want them in a tube or cup.
@@thefrugalcrafter Haha. Yeah. I had trouble with jelly cups drying out but the Annigoni has a special foam pad to remedy that whereas the Arrtx I had didnt. However seeing the paints altogether is not. I actually made an unboxing video & found 2 od the cups cracked. A replacement is coming tomorrow, so I’ll make another video. Thx for replying & the info on the quality! God bless!
how does adding glycerin or honey affect the permanence of the paint?
It shouldn't unless you added so much if thinned the paint a lot. A thinner wash of color is less permanent than a mass tone application. I would recommend m Graham or achminke gouache with high lightfast ratings is permanence is a concern over a budget brand tho.
@@thefrugalcrafter looking at the arteza paints in this set most have level 1 or level 2 permanence so pretty good.
They do, I am a bit leery about trusting the lightfast ratings of companies who private label all of their products tho as sometimes info gets mixed up in translation. I'd do a swatch and put in in a sunny window for a couple of months and see what happens if you are going to sell your work.
I would feel overwhelmed with all these colors 😵
I tried to use your discount code but it didn't recognise it, I ordered from the UK website, is this why, do you think?
that might be it, I am an affiliate on their american site. I'd email them tho, they will probably recognize it:)
Thanks so much for the video. I have been looking at these and they have a giveaway over on their fb page.. Hope to win them. You've sold me. Love your videos.
