Holbein Gouache: a Painter’s Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2022
- I bought the primary set of Holbein gouache paint. After testing Hoaradam Schmnicke gouache ( • MOST EXPENSIVE Gouache... ) I’m curious to swatch, test, and paint with Holbein gouache.
I wrote this article where I compare 10 gouache brands that you can buy online, individual tubes, and artist quality grade: cecileyadro.co... Holbein is in the mid-range price.
You can get the set of primary colors by Holbein here:

I am just starting with gouache and bought the 5 tube set that you just reviewed for $27. I played around with them, mixing all my own colors until I was sure I liked the medium - you’re right! That cyan is really strong! Eventually, I invested in a 24 tubes set, just for the convenience. I’m really happy with Holbein. I’m still a beginner, but learning fast! Thank you for all your helpful content.
You're welcome! And beware of magenta, it's very powerful as well!
I have Schmincke Horadam, Winsor & Newton, Holbein and MGraham. I love the vibrancy of the Holbein colors and the creamy nature of the MGraham and Schmincke gouache.
So far, I think that Holbein has the highest vibrancy in colors!
You are "formidable"!!!! I am in the US and love Holbein gouache and watercolors. Please keep teaching us! Here and on Skillshare! I am in my 70s and cannot afford many subscriptions but you are tres inspiring! Merci.
Thanks a lot!, I'll keep going then!
I'm delighted to have found your channel. I'm new to gouache and using the Holbein set of 12 (5ml) colors. So far, I'm loving them and looking forward to doing a lot more with them. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. And YAY! for flattering light. 😄
5 ml is not much! I'm pretty sure you'll need more quite soon. And thanks for the light!
I use Holbein also and I love it! Especially since the first gouache I used was 10 dollars for 24 tubes 😮 when mixed they made weird colors and felt gooey and sticky. I didn’t enjoy them and thought well gouache wasn’t for me until this channel opened my eyes and showed me the light 🎉❤ now that I have artists quality my gouache experience has been amazing even though I’m totally a newbie 😂Thank you so much for your informative videos and easy to understand advice, tips and encouragement 😊
wow! thanks a lot for your message! I’m happy if I’ve helped you in your gouache journey.
Hi Cecile. I was considering this small Holbein 5pc set to complement watercolours, and I needed a review I could trust. Decided to see if you had one and yes you do! Thk you. Now I know what to do.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Cecile, i love your videos on Gouache and watercolor. I learn alot and was needing your help with gouache since i just started to use it. I bought the Holbien set and now i feel a bit more confident to get started. Thank you, Merci :)
I'm so glad!
I got this set for 16€ at a recent Jackson's Holbein sale, thanks to this and your colour mixing video. These paints are from a different level, just amazing. Thanks for the recommendation and the very useful videos, Cecile.
You got a good bargain at 16€!
Your portrait is beautiful!!!!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you for making this part of your portrait class! I look forward to painting this one, maybe getting some Holbein to test 🥰 I appreciate you supporting us this way. I also have your cactus 🌵 class and look forward to taking more classes with you!! 🙏🏻❤️🎨
I hope you enjoy the classes!
A terrific video ! I eagerly await my primary Holbein set to arrive.
thank you!
I have recently tried the lefranc bourjois gouache and wow - it was very nice!
Yes, I like the Linel by Lefranc & Bourjois
I love love Holbein. It's all I use. It took awhile to build my collection.
This is my favorite brand too, although I do have other brands too.
i have used several brands, and i think the holbein and mgraham are at top of my list.. the holbein is also easy for me to find at my art supply store( blicks) the pigment load is amazing !! thx for this video, cecile.. norakag 👍👍
Hi Nora! I don't like M Graham, they contain honey, and it can mould inside an airtight palette, so I avoid using them.
I’m getting to grips with gouache using Schmincke Akademie Gouache, it’s the only gouache I’ve found that comes in 60ml tubes and it’s cheaper than the Horadam and even some of the Winsor and newton colours which come in tiny tubes. And because the Akademie tubes are soooo big, it goes a long way to preventing me becoming precious about the paint and not wanting to waste fancy paint while I’m still learning! Not that the Schmincke Akademie isn’t fancy or good (it’s VERY good), there’s just so much more of it and it’s a lot cheaper. I do have a 60ml tube of Horadam white cause I’ve been told that if you want to upgrade one of your paints, the white would be the one to upgrade. I also have the Akademie white so I use both depending on what I’m using the white for. Falling deeply in love with gouache and always look forward to my 9pm painting sessions!❤️ I’d like to try Holbein but the price is the same as the Winsor and Newton here, if not more.
I like your attitude, getting the most quality you can afford, with large quantities so you're not afraid to use it. And Schmincke Akademie is a good paint.
I recently got a mixing set of Pebeo gouache as part of a kit and was very pleasantly surprised.
Happy painting!
Thank you for the review. I’m tossing up between Holbein, Schminke Designer and Shin Han artist gouache.
How is Shin Han? it’s a very low price, so I’m curious about the quality!
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I've been looking for. I would also love to see you try the Caran d'Ache brand. I have used many of their other products and found them to be superior to most options on the market, but that doesn't mean it's true of gouache. Gouache seems to be a very specialized market, and I don't want to make assumptions here based on other C d'A products.
Good point! I didn't think of this one, I add it to the list.
Great video! I found it very helpful, since I'm trying to get into gouache. thanks for the info.
You're welcome!
This is gorgeous!! I love your portraits
Thank you so much 😀
Holbein also makes many oil medium
Yes
great review. Thanks!
You’re welcome!
💗💓💖 Great review!
Thanks you!
I live in portugal and is hard to find holbein could you suggest another gouche with the same quality and price? Love your vids!!
My second choice would be Winsor and Newton
Thank you, Cecile, it's very useful as usual. I went this afternoon to the art store and I didn't find the Holbein. Seems that in France the Linel is the easiest to find. Would you recommend it as much as the Holbein ?
No, not as much! it’s a good brand though, but not the best one!
@@CecileYadro thank you very much for your answer Cecile 🥰😘
Wonderful tutorial. I am sold on Holbein based on this. Thank you. I would like to know what the palette is that you used in this video, please.
It’s the primary set: cyan, magenta, lemon yellow, black and white
@@CecileYadro Thanks for your reply, C. I was actually referring to the physical palette you were using not the paint.
I use Schmincke Akademie (4.99€ for 60ml) as I am just beginning. I recently got some gouache from UMTON, a 🇨🇿 Czech company to test them out. I live in 🇩🇪 and Lefranc & Bourgeois is easy to finds well as Pébéo. What do you think of this last one?
I'm using T7 by Pebeo, it's a good gouache.
I have Holbein gouache but saw in a recent video that a lot of Holbein gouache is not lightfast. Are you concerned about lightness? Thanks
It’s not specific to Holbein. All brands have pigments that are less lightfast than others: cecileyadro.com/gouache-and-lightfastness/
Thank you for the information!
Would you please do a review of the Shinhan guache
Maybe one day!
wow... I bought 4 horadam gouache colours for 6 euro each but yeah its converted in my money which is the romanian leu and its very expensive for us too....... also Ive been wondering si vous ferez des videos en francais?
non, je ne prévois pas d’en faire en français pour le moment, désolée !
@@CecileYadro ok, merci de votre reponse^^
Why do people say that Holbein is sticky? Do you find them to be sticky?
Absolutely not! perfectly creamy!
Would you kindly share where you bought your ceramic pallet? Thank you.
It's not ceramic, it's plastic: amzn.to/3qCrL4o
@@CecileYadro Thank you.
Have you tried turner gouache?
Not yet, it's on my plans!
I like schmincle Academy, it's not very expensive but works good.
thanks! I have to try these
