Only fools can't change their minds...❤

Oh fantastic!!! I am thrilled that you have seen Sarah Burns videos & that you’ve changed your mind about using gouache for your travel kit!! I love how your set up is super easy to use. I do most of my mixing lately on the paper so I’m using the stay wet palette still for my travel gouache & studio gouache. I also use an easel sometimes (a James Gurney one that I made) for painting with. Thanks for sharing this wonderful informational video with us.
Your setup seems too complicated for me!!! 😉
I enjoy your videos immensely! I’m a beginner painter and so appreciate the generous amount of instruction, humour and kindness you include in your videos. Thank you! ❤
Thanks for watching and for your message! 🥰
I’m excited to set up a dried gouache palette and give this a try. I’ve been watching Sarah Burns’ experimenting with this approach and I think it’s ideal for the way (and where) I paint. Can’t wait to see your next video!
Thanks!
I made a Winsor and newton gouache dry pallette and use it all the time, it does crumble but I spray it with water and leave it while I draw and it's ready to paint with, I definitely use my gouache much more now which has to be a good thing 😊
Maybe I should carry a sprayer with me. I’ll see that.
@@CecileYadro I use one of my water brushes to drip water onto the paints. So, yeah, I do have to carry an extra brush, but at least it’s narrow.
Having a sprayer definitely changed even how i use watercolor, i travel a lot so i need to have dry media to make it easy going through TSA, the sprayer just goes and reactivates everything so nicely even when im going on a long flight and have 4 hours and go ahead and paint while im in the air. Plus you can use it to soften edges while you paint by just spraying some water on your paper
Yay 👋🏾😁 it couldn't be more perfect that you just posted, per your advice I decided to ditch my himi gouache palette, And I just got some Holbein-I just started playing with them and I'm loving it.
You are so right to invest in better gouache,😊 I just started and I'm already loving gouache. So much easier to blend, 😉 beautiful vibrant colors, Don't have to worry about maintenance, and less mess😅
Cuz I was sure ready to give up on gouache but i decided to give it one more good go with my himi palette 🎨,
Then I came across your channel and it all made sense it wasn't me it was the gouache😂!❤
Anyways long story short I'm loving it. 💖😄🙌🏾
This is so nice to read your message, thank you!
@@CecileYadro oh you're welcome, recently subscribed a few days ago and I'm loving your videos/channel. 🩷😊
I love your videos. This one was especially delightful and had very useful information too. The only concern I have about these flat palettes is that the little paint wells tend to rust depending on what metal they are made of. If they are coated with something like a white enamel before they are filled with paint, it can help. Thanks again for another great video!
Great point! but I think this one is kind of aluminum so it shouldn’t rust
Glad to learn this ! Best wishes using it !
I did exactly this and squeezed paints in the smallest arttool kit palette. I use Holbein and eventually the paints have dried and falling off the pan.
In my experience, its best to use deep pans/wells. The wider and shallower the pan, the faster it will dry.
My whole point is to use dry gouache, so it's better in large pans. If I want to use creamy paint, I'll use an airtight palette. 😉
Yay! I'm so happy to see this new video
Thanks for watching!
Cecile, while I will primarily be taking a small tin set of watercolors, I have packed a few cards of colorful gouache in my travel bag. I am still new at both gouache and wc, but have limited myself to this and an Etsy travel board (magnets, collapsible water cups/lids) and a 4x4 sketchbook to both journal and [attempt!] To 'docu-paint' our hiking teip to 6 countries while my hisband finishes his book on Pilgrimage. This small gouache tin looks like a great way to add more 'punch' to the pages. Thank you!!
Have fun, I'm sure you'll love looking at this sketchbook later!
isn't it funny how we are always trying to
upgrade and adjust , with our supplies?? i have used dry gouache for almost two years , and it was great .. my issue with the water brush is that it's always too "wet ", to really apply any thicker paint .. but it still is the most convenient solution to simplify your setup .. stillman and birn ( the mixed media ones) are fabulous for the gouache👍👍👍love the outtake at the end of this video 😂😂😂😂norakag😬😬
Now I need to find how to use that! Thanks for the tip about the wet brush.
Absolutely loved this video ! I love travel sketches and I will try gouache one day (for now sticking with my watercolor set up 😅) ! Thanks again for posting your videos ❤
Have fun!
Love your sketches!🎉
Thank you!
Can't wait to see you use this kit in the future. I made my watercolor kit for a trip to the UK using a plastic bag and it was 130g because I only took a folded sheet of 9X12 paper. So inspiring to see your kit and your sketches. Gouache would be lovely to travel with and I am playing around with this but haven't finalized a dry gouache palette yet. So I am looking forward to seeing how you use it dry. Thank you!
I’m still debating if it’s a good idea or not!
Great video Cecile, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this
Thanks for watching!
amiog!epic vlog~))
???
You inspired me to make a travel gouache kit too! So adorable
I'm so glad!
I look forward to the images you will make with this! I am very interested in a follow up video after you've done five or ten paintings on the go.
Sure! The next video will be just testing but then I’ll use it. Or not. We’ll see!
beautiful books
Thanks!
Thank you
🥰
Curious to see how this works for you. I found my gouache (Holbein) always crumbled in both half pan and folding palettes, so I gave up on that. I saw one of Sarah Burns’ videos and I think she pre-wets the colors, which probably would work well if you’re using them frequently enough.
My solution is kind of a silly one but hear me out lol.. I’m using the plastic pots on a strip like for little kids paints! There are 6 pots on a strip and it fits into my Derwent pencil tin (removed top tier) with brushes, pencil, palette knife, eraser, and a tiny spritz bottle. In the lid of the tin I added palette paper. This way I don’t get a mess, it’s a small package, and I can keep my creamy gouache :) it’s not as sophisticated of course but I’m ok with that.
I hope you’re packing this kit for a trip and if you are, that you have lovely travels (and drawings to share!)
💕
PS, I’m aka coconuticecream. I’ve really been enjoying your skillshare classes and videos here. Thank you for all that you do!
Palette paper is a good idea, thanks!

and you can see how I use this dry palette plein air: ruclips.net/video/ZXYFn6Ih344/видео.html
Hello!! This was so interesting! I’m trying a hybrid of watercolour/gouache, supposedly with properties of both. Shin Han pass is the brand, I do like it (I added a tiny bit of blending medium as well) and it seems to be holding (not cracking) Need to keep playing with it. Kind regards from Sheffield, England. :)
Sounds great!
Love this idea. I found Gouache very messy toncarry, but this might do the trick. I found this Palette (Compuzzle) at Gerstaecker 🇩🇪, a.k.a. Geant Beaux Arts 🇫🇷, a.kk.a. Great Art 🇬🇧 at a reasonable price. About the sprayer, there are a few ines thst are thin like a pen or a Parfum spray. They work well, are compact (maybe 20ml) and light. Thanks for this, it has encouraged me to get me going for an "on the go" lightweight kit. Just subscribed as well 🎉
Thanks! This is where I found the palette as well, but it's sold out!
Put a few drops of Winsor Newton watercolor blending medium in each well and stir with a toothpick. Once it dries the gouache won’t crumble and fall out.
I've tried that, but I'm not really convinced!
I just realized I have committed a terrible crime - I have been watching your videos for weeks and only just now realized I wasn’t subscribed! I have now corrected that oversight! Haha but for real, this is so inspiring. I want to get one of those tiny palettes now!
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Interesting, I love travel sketchbooks! Can you make maybe a comparison about fineliners?
I use them a lot (before and after paint), but sometimes they stop working (don't know if they react badly with watercolour/gel pens/whatever). It is always painful when the nib doesn't work anymore.
I have to see what I have in stock. Good idea, but not sure I have enough brands.
When putting the paints in the pans mix water colour medium into them for a better result
I tried that, but I'm not convinced!
I wonder if a tiny amount of honey would prevent the cracking, help keep the gouache a bit sticky, without affecting the paint opacity???
I'm not fond of honey in the gouache, it's getting moldy for me. There is a product made for this, it's a watercolor medium by W&N, but I don't find it to work very well.
Such a fun video! Where did you get that palette?
It's sold out, sadly!
Hi! I have a similar palette with tiny eyeshadow tin cans inside and I have watercolor paints in the pans that I bought. I don't have watercolor in tubes. Do you know if I can cut some watercolor from the pans to squeeze them into these tiny tin cans?
Why not? but I'm afraid you'll get crumbles and not a pan.
@@CecileYadro yes, me too!!
I love the pouch. Where is it from?
It’s sold with a Cabaia backpack.
Great vid! What sketchbook do you use?
It's a Stillman & Birn Zeta series
@@CecileYadro Wow thank you for the quick reply!
Do u have a link for the palette?
I wish I had one! it's sold out... maybe later?
I looked it up - it’s called Compuzzle, and I found it at Gerstaecker (German shop). They have 2 sizes, the smaller of which is available. I’m in the US so I assume it’s too expensive to ship, but if you’re closer it might be affordable. The smaller is around 15 euros
I found it on a French website, but no way to find it in the US
Hi! The Palette is called Compuzzle. I found it both in Germany (Gerstaecker) and France (Grant Beaux Arts), or the UK (Great Art) which is the same company. The packaging suggests it is Japanese. Maybe this extra info helps you find it somewhere near you!

I don't think I could deal with the tiny, shallow pans in that palette. I'd have the colors cross-contaminated after a few sketches.
They certainly will get contaminated! but that’s ok! we’ll see how it goes.
@@CecileYadro Oh, if only I could be as tidy as you!
:3
👍
You're cute!
Thanks 😅
That palette is too shallow. Use the little white plastic ones and fill a tin. Add honey or gum arabic to avoid cracking and falling. Try M Graham Gouache, it doesn't even crack, however, honey can attract bees for some people. I love painting with dry gouache. Mist the entire pan about 10 minutes before you begin. (while you are sketching in pencil) This will help rehydrate it. Love your journal Je comprends le français !
Sure, I could do that, but I wanted to use dry gouache, not a creamy one. Thanks for watching!
