I just wanted to put in my 2 cents of the paint (tempera fine) if anyone is interested in them. I found them to be adequate as a beginner, but they are not even remotely my favourite. I find the colour mixes are a little muddy, and the texture is a little odd/thick. I find they can very easily become chalky. They actually frustrated me more as a beginner then excite me to continue. Luckily I was able to get a beginner set of winsor newton gouache which I found significantly easier to work with. For beginners and kids ,I think they would be fine for dabbling. If you are starting to use the medium and anticipate you will continue with gouache, I would personally recommend getting better quality paint so that you don't need to repurchase better paint in the future. Thanks for the review, hope this helps as well for anyone interested. :)
Thank you so much Chloe for sharing! :) I pretty much agree with you on everything, I can totally see a beginner to gouache getting frustrated with Maimeri tempera fine, although I've tried worse quality than Maimeri tempera fine, so these are still better than some other cheap gouache brands I tried and are usable for sure. But yeah, for someone that would really like to learn how to use gouache, other brands like W&N would be a better option! :) but I'm curious to try the other line from Maimeri, which I think it would be better quality than the tempera fine!
I have tried the Maimeriblu watercolors & I love them. Want to try the Gouache as well. I own a few Sennelier gouache & 1 Egg tempera tube Love'em as well. Beautiful colors from Sennelier, as expected.
Thank you for sharing! 😊 me too I want to try their artist gouache grade from Maimeri and also Sennelier both their tempera and gouache! I’m really curious to see their quality!
Oh my gosh, What a cute frog! The flowers are so soft. I love it! I want to try Maimeri watercolours but they are so expensive from where I live that the high end asian and american products are much cheaper. I wish I could try them since not a lot of reviews are up for them but the ones that are do praise them for being amazing.
Il tuo accento parlando in italiano è adorabile 😍😍 aspettavo da tanto una recensione sulla tempera fine perché non capivo mai se è un sinonimo di gouache, i tuoi lavori sono sempre belli, mi ispiri un sacco con i tuoi colori pastello armoniosi 🐸🌿🌸
Oddio grazie mille!! 🥰🥰 che dolce che sei!! 🧡 Si infatti ha confuso come cosa anche a me, se gouache avesse un nome simile in italiano avrei capito, ma tempera è completamente diverso 🤣 immagino che guazzo sarebbe la traduzione più vicina ma non ho mai capito se è giusta. Però se si guarda ad esempio le etichette sui tubetti delle tempere di diversi brands che ci sono i nomi in diverse lingue, in inglese è chiamato gouache e in italiano tempera. Anche sul sito della Maimeri e sui loro tubetti di tempera fine, in inglese li chiamano fine gouache e non solo tempera. In teoria da quel che ho capito, ci sono delle differenze tra tempera e gouache e una differenza più conosciuta è il binder usato, che nelle tempere è a base del giallo d’uovo e nei gouache è la gomma arabica. Però sul sito di Maimeri non è specificato che binder usano per le loro tempere fine, ma dato che le chiamano Fine gouache tradotto da italiano all’ inglese sono abbastanza sicura che sono i veri gouache! Posso sempre sbagliarmi ma credo sia semplicemente una cosa di traduzione, che per noi che parliamo italiano gouache e tempera sono la stessa cosa! 😊 spero che ti sia utile questa spiegazione! Cioè in realtà parlarne con qualcuno aiuta anche a me capire cosa è vero o no 🤣🤣
@@sandraruberto8806 grazie per la tua risposta super esaustiva! Sai cosa ci confonde anche? Che noi siamo super abituati alle tempere in flacone, quelle della Giotto da supermercato, che vanno bene se devi andare al concerto di Gigi D’Alessio e fargli il cartellone 🤣 ma l’idea che il gouache che vedi in tubettino, tutto cariiiino opaco e prezioso sia la traduzione di quella cosa che da te vendono in cartoni industriali tipo il latte ti confonde tipo tanto!
Yay! I finally made this review about Maimeri fine gouache/Maimeri tempera fine that I've been using from some years! Hope you enjoy and find it helpful! Let me know if you've ever tried any paint medium from Maimeri and if you speak Italian, lascia pure un commento in italiano! 😊 There are some differences between tempera and gouache for english speakers, but Maimeri call their “Tempera Fine” as “Fine gouache” in English (both on their website and on their tube) which makes me believe they’re traditional gouache and it’s just a language translation: Fine gouache translated in Italian is tempera fine! 😊 Subtitles for this video, both English and Italian, are available! It felt strange to make this video partially in Italian, although I speak Italian everyday at home 🤣 Fun fact: I translated the script (that I always write in English for my videos) in Italian to add the Italian subtitles for this video, but I had to adapt many phrases that I say them completely differently between English and Italian! I'm used to think and write in English at this point (although I'm aware my English isn't perfect), so another fun fact: sometimes I forget Italian words, so occasionally in conversations, my friends and family can't understand me because I say the word that I forgot in Italian in English first, and then after a moment of thinking... I translate it and say it in Italian 🤣 bilingual problems 🤣
Grazie, video utilissimo! Posso chiederti.. su che tipo di pannello stavi dipingendo? Sembra liscio e forse lucido...dove lo hai acquistato? Grazie mille☺️🙏
The organic inorganic thing probably refers to what kind of chemical they are. Inorganic compounds are like salts and crystals, a "simple" structure made of a metal element and a non metal element. Organic compounds are consist mainly carbon and hydrogen and are more complex structures. I hope I explained chemistry a little bit, I really like your videos
That's so interesting to know!! thank you so much for sharing!! :) I just assumed the organic/inorganic thing was based on if the pigments come from an organic material that you can find in nature or inorganic if perhaps was made synthetically, but I didn't know what it was in the specific!
ahahah yes RT is still one of my favourites even after trying so many brands! 😊 together with Winsor & Newton designer gouache and Arteza gouache! Edit: youtube didn't publish my full response xD
Hi, very curious to know, is Italian spoken in Swizerland different than the one spoken in Italy (for example on TV)? You have a slight accent I don't recognize in Italian. I know Swiss German is different from standard one and even the one spoken in Austria, but my German is too basic to tell the difference :)
That's a good question! I think in Switzerland we speak the same Italian as in some regions of North of Italy like Lombardy, but more in the specific I think what you and most people often hear from Italian speakers are the different accents and dialects, which could sound more prominent/strong compared to the Italian we speak in Switzerland. And there many and different accents/dialects in different regions of Italy. Here in Switzerland we actually have our own italian dialect called "ticinese" but I personally don't speak it and I speak standard Italian xD but I think I'm a quite unique case because I never had a strong italian accent, even my italian friends tell me that my Italian accent is not italian, or at least not strong XD And I grew up learning French, German and Italian but especially Swiss-german. My mother is Swiss-german so I hear Swiss-german on a regular basis, my German pronunciation would be good but my German is too basic to hold a conversation xD And you're right Swiss-german is different from the German spoken in Germany or Austria! but I would say it's mostly a matter of dialects (which by the way there are different dialects even for swiss-german) where certain words are said differently between standard german and swiss-german. Then about 7 years ago I've been to UK for 6 months to improve my English and since I opened my channel about 3 years ago, I speak English on a regular basis. Which I'm sure people can still hear my italian accent when I speak English, but I think I improved my pronunciation over the years so I don't think is that strong right now. But you see, my accent is a mixture of different languages xD
@@sandraruberto8806 That's so interesting :). Swizerland is very unique with such a mix of languages. I'm Romanian and did not grow up bi or multilingual like you, so it's difficult to relate, but English did become my go to language over time so I often have the same problem with rather remembering some word in English than my own language. I used to think German impossible, but it's sounding much more friendly after some classes. I was a little discouraged to learn there are so many different flavours :)
Ahahah I’m glad I’m not the only one 🤣 there are some differences between gouache and tempera for English speakers but for us Italian speakers: gouache and tempera are same thing and it’s just a translation thing 🤣
@@margaretf667 thank you! good to know :D In Italy we call that "tempera all'uovo" ( wich means gouache with eggs) XD I love the way languages express the same concepts in many different ways.
@@margaretf667 thank you for explaining! 😊 I knew that Sennelier had a tempera made with eggs as binder which differ from normal gouache, but I haven’t understood yet if that’s the only difference between tempera and gouache or if there are other factors. While for us that we speak Italian tempera and gouache are the same thing! 😊
@@sandraruberto8806 the naming of gouache is a mess! Tempra was originally the egg tempra and that was it. I am not sure if gouache as we know it existed at the same time or if it came later. I did a lot of recearch on this a while back for a video on the topic. Poster paint is yet another name for gouache. I think in US they use Poster Paint for the cheapest and lowest quality, and it is often sold in a very liquid form. Tempra is a bit better and gouache is the finest. -In US still. In Europe it is a lot more muddled together. Royal Talens use all three names for their gouache. I grew up with opaque block watercolours beeing called tempra. (I am from Denmark). Gouache is a name I encountered a lot later in life. So yes, the names is a hot mess!

Imagine being European and being able go drive across countries and go to different stores 🥺 what a dream
Thanks for sharing your review of another brand of gouache. It is so much helpful.😊
Your art is awesome! Thanks for this review and I really love gouache as they are easier to overlay than watercolor
Ho i colori primari di questa marca e li trovo fantastici! Bravissima Sandra!
grazie mille!!
That explains your accent! Hehe. I've been obsessed with gouache bec of you💞 Your reviews are quite helpful

@@sandraruberto8806 Indeed. Their
( Sennelier ) range is beautiful. Got 3 of their inks ( pigment based ) too and they're good too.
Oh my gosh, What a cute frog! The flowers are so soft. I love it!

Hi Sandra! I had the same uncertainty in understanding the difference between tempera and gouache for English speakers 🤷🏼♀️
I am Italian 😂
Ahahah I’m glad I’m not the only one 🤣 there are some differences between gouache and tempera for English speakers but for us Italian speakers: gouache and tempera are same thing and it’s just a translation thing 🤣
Gouache doesn't have egg in it in, tempera has egg. As an English speaker.

That's right it's gouache! gouache is called tempera in Italian ^^
