To answer your question -- yes, they will dry out. Keep the mixing tray on top and the lid locked when you're not using them, but they'll still dry over time. If you're not using them every day, you can open it up once or twice a week and spray them with water. You want a gentle, puff-puff-puff sprayer, not a heavy whish-whish-whish sprayer. :) They'll probably still dry out, some colors more than others (no clue why), so if a color gets dry enough to start cracking, add some water, leave it for a few minutes, then stir it with a popsicle stick, a pallet knife, something like that. (I have some cheap plastic pallet knives I got only to mix and re-wet thick paint.) It'll re-wet just fine, and stirring will get the lumps out of it, and there you go -- ready to use again.
as long as you re wet them every so often and keep them closed they will take a long time to dry, i've had mine for like 3-4 years and i've only had some of them dry partially, but i put some water overnight, mixed them again the next morning and they were good as new
@@jasonspalding2929 I think it depends on the individual. If seeing drying, cracking paint really annoys and frustrates you, then you're better off with tubes. If re-wetting and stirring isn't a big deal to you, then jelly gouache will work fine. Also, if you're not going to use your gouache very often -- like less than once a week or so -- you're probably better off with tubes. IMO the main benefit of jelly gouache is that it's a great value. You get a *lot* of paint for the price, and with the 24-color set you also get the mixing tray and the brushes. If you're trying to stretch every dollar, jelly gouache is a good choice. I think, though, that if you're willing to pay a little more, the tube gouache is a bit better just because it takes less maintenance. Up to you which is best for your situation and POV. Oh, another benefit of the Himi jelly gouache is you can buy bags of refill paint. (I wasn't used to mixing gouache colors At All and went through my white stupid-fast :P but found I could buy more, which was great.) From what I've seen, with cheaper brands of tube gouache, the only way to get more of a color is to buy a whole 'nother set. Sort of like cheap vs. expensive markers or colored pencils or watercolors, where you can only buy single colors with the more expensive brands. Being able to buy a bag of whichever color you run out of, and refill the pot in your jelly gouache set, makes this even more convenient for a cheap set. So that's another consideration.
Saw another artist recently, Moni D Major, discuss experimenting with Gum Arabic Medium alongside water to renew poster paint colours. I wonder if the same could be done with jelly gouache? She gave the a spritz & stir with water & then put a very thin layer of medium on top. I’m not well versed enough in the ingredients of gouache or jelly gouache to know. Here is a link to her video if you’re interested ruclips.net/video/DKHL6-davTA/видео.html 27:45
jelly gouache was (as far as I know) originally made for art students (in i think japan or so) for exams where they don’t really have time to really mix and pour out normal gouache. plus it’s cheaper. also a thing to help the colors not dry out is to spritz it with water before closing it up and storing it. you can of course always rewet them but they might have a slightly different texture then
Also add a few drops of vegetable glycerine to each colour, stir well with a toothpick or something else very small. This helps to hold the water. Don't use too much otherwise the gouache will become transparent and shiny. To avoid mold, occasionally spritz with a mix of 10 parts water to one part alcohol. The FrugalCrafter has a vid about this.
I'm not sure if the best parts of your videos involve our overall energy or the level of surprise you have at your own actions, but the overall effect is contagious. Those look super fun to paint with.
Honestly, Im always SOOOOO nervous uploading. I have SO much cut out. Which I'm going to start using as content for patreon. It's really hard to structure my videos as I am such an unfocused person, I genuinely go off track ALL the time 😬
@@ADCArtAttack Well, you certainly hide it well enough. I'm a poster child for ADHD and several other neurotic behaviors. I'm a certified mess and my art progress shows it. I find every video you release to be an absolute joy to watch and hope to keep seeing more. love the gouache videos as now I'm seriously looking into getting some.
my understanding of Jelly gouache is that it's cheaper, less waste b/c you can access the paint container easier, and the tray holds the paint well - keeps it moist longer. as well they reactivate well. but yeah, the paint of opening them is part of them too. i think i've only ever seen one youtuber open them without getting paint on themselves. glad you are enjoying the medium!
AND OMG YESSS seeing u play more and more with guache rlly made me try it too and man i love it ...tysm for being such an amazing person and amazing inspiration Anthony 💖💖 ur rlly amazing and keep up the good work hehe
the palette that came with the paints... I have heard (I say this because I'm not a painter, just watched A LOT of videos) that sometimes those palettes will have a coating on them from the manufacturer that causes thin watery paints to "bead up" like that. they say giving the palette a good wash with dish soap and water before using it the first time will get rid of that coating and help the paint stay spread out.
Hehe. It’s so funny seeing you struggling with the beading issue on the plastic platte. Cause we have all been there!! Either brush it down with something rough, or use a porcelin/ceramic or glass Plate!
With this kind of gouache its much easier to start with a watered down layer to block out your colors, and then go in with a thicker layer of the straight gouache, as you did with the test drawing of your pup! The paint lays easier and is easier to move around on thin base layer
The Himi Gouache was created for art students in Asia. It's not for final showpieces but it's for practicing since art schools in Asia almost always require students to practice their motor skills every day. It's the reason why the Himi Gouache is bulky af because you're not supposed to lug it around but leave it on your school desk and whip it out when practicing. This gouache doesn't really dry in the school setting because it's being rewet when used regularly.
You do so well with gouache. The medium has a certain look to it in general that is so nice and you do it so well. One of the many reasons I love Alex Ross’ art so much is because he uses gouache and it makes it all look so good.
Omg I was waiting for thisss so excited 🤩🤩 I kinda felt like jelly gouache has a little different technique than plain gouache and maybe the whole aesthetically pleasing camera friendly appearance gives it some of it's popularity. We'll never know unless you compare 😌
Tip for your plastic palette : scrub it with tooth paste, the small abrasion made by toothpaste will prevent the watery paints from pearling on the surface. I do it to every plastic palette I buy.
Tip: to keep them wet, dampen a paper towel and place it ontop of the paints anytime you close it. If they do happen to dry up, a bit of water and mixing with a palette knife and leaving it to sit for a couple minutes makes them like new again. Ive had my himi set for over a year now and i genuinely love them.
As another some one with aspergers, the quirks and humor kill me everytime. Its so good. Additionally someday i want to get my hands on this pallet. And if anyone is feeling generous that kiba plushie would make a great bday gift for me next week. Lol. Its sooo freaking cute.
Such a cool Video! Every time you use gouache the paintings seem to be getting better. I've also been getting into gouache. Here are a few tips I've learnt that might help with anyone who could be struggling. 1) For the jelly gouache, when opening, try lifting up the edges all the way around before peeling the whole seal off. It's a lot less messy, especially with the harder to open tubs. 2) After opening all of the tubs, take a toothpick and give them all a stir (cleaning the toothpick between each colour). The texture of the paint will improve as some of the binder (that oily stuff) seems to separate out over time. A small spritz of water and a stir before you start painting for subsequent uses also helps. 3) To stop the pencil marks from "dirtying" the paint, take a kneadable eraser and use it to lightly lift off the excess graphite. there are plenty of RUclips videos showing how to do this. this is also useful if you are using watercolour paint. 4) If you are struggling with moving the paint around, especially for washes, you may need a tiny bit more water on your brush. play around with the amount of water as each brand will behave slightly differently. Even watered down, gouache has incredible coverage. Practice and learn how the paint behaves with different amounts of water and find the "sweet spot". Use an old rag to control the water on your brush. 5) For building up layers, start with more transparent layers and add less and less water for subsequent layers. This will help you to control the reactivation of the lower layers. 6) The paint disappearing on your pallet is just the consequence of using a plastic pallet. You can lessen the effect by taking the rough part of a kitchen sponge and roughing up the surface a bit. If gouache and watercolour are media you will be using a lot, a ceramic pallet (or just a ceramic plate if you are cheap like me) will make a world of difference. It's not necessary by any means, but it will make your painting colour mixing experience far more enjoyable. You can also spray a metal pallet with enamel paint. Hope this helps anyone.
Actually if you want to avoid pencil marks.. switch from graphite to color pencil.. erasable color pencils (which yes are different from regular color pencil) are great for sketching as they don't smudge or bleed into your medium when you put something on it.. they can also be erased very easily and if you is the red kind of erasable color pencil (the sketch will barely show if you don't)
Super cute plushie - and painting of it, and a really cool Batman. I never tried gouache myself so I have no clue about technicalities - but watching you paint with them was highly enjoyable. You sounded like you had a lot of fun =)
Don't know if you're getting better with gouache every time, or 'tis just my perception, but I'm seriously in love with this medium... I'd love even more to see you do a 'Style Swap' with them in order to see what it will do to stuff that's - to the best of my, little, knowledge - not painted...
Lol I knew that would be Kiba's reaction to the plushie, I could see it in his eyes😂. True, art should be freeing and fun! Great job on both the Kiba and Batman paintings😁💕!
Really excited to see how you feel with the Windsor and newton gouache! It’s my gouache of choice and I definitely think that even as someone with not much painting experience, you will feel the difference!
They say wet a long time. But if they dry, before you use them sprits some water to them and they reset easy. And you can use them like a pan... you know like watercolors...
I bought destilled sterile water and spraybottle from where I spray the colours every now and then. Don't use tapwater, it may result mold growth. Be sure to click the lid properly so the colours don't dry. Ps. I learned that sterile water tip from a RUclips video, so it is not my own idea. If I remember correct it was one of those qouache jelly tutorial videos, which I try to watch 💕
For the palette, you can carefully sand it down to avoid the paint absorption effect. For the Kiba plushie - very cute :), also the art. As for drying out - yes, if you don't use them for a while, but you can easily reactivate the entire cup by adding water and stirring after a while. I've done it to mine, and they still work nicely. I use the jelly gouache on the go, as it is way more comfy than bringing tubes with you. edit: forgot to say, love the batman art too.
Loved this! I only found your videos because of the gouache vids! I thought I could answer some questions that you asked in the vid -- if others have covered this, apologies! The "oily" stuff is likely gum arabic. It's the binder in both watercolor and gouache. Your palette is causing the paint to "bead". The palette is so slick there's nothing for the gouache to grab on to, so it sticks to itself and looks like it disappears, but really it's just rushing to what it /can/ grab on to it. While the gouache shouldn't hurt your pens, watercolor paper, specifically cold press or rough press will ruin them. If you use hot press (which is difficult to use, but provides a smooth surface) your pens will be safe. Others have already offered advice on keeping them wet, so I won't go into that. And yes, it's called "jelly" because it's kept in "jelly cups" like you find at a diner for your toast! Hope this helps anyone curious!
Loving these awesome paintings an their backgrounds lately, ADC! Keep up the great work and please do more characters with these abstract walls behind them? It's one of the best aspects of your Batman and Arcane pieces :)
Love watching your excitement with this medium. I like your art any way you do it but it's neat to hear someone be excited about it. On a teasing note, I found it funny you're repping Marvel on your shirt and hat then drawing/painting a DC character.
I’ve seen some gouache and watercolor artists take a kneaded eraser and ROLL it over the pencil to help prevent the extra graphite from discoloring the paint too much and limit what shows through.
Yaaaay! Hearing how relaxed gouache makes you feel makes me appreciate the painting experience more. The thing where the paint disappears on the palette is called beading. There are several ways to prevent this, such as using a glue stick on the palette and then wiping it off. It'll stop the beading.
I’m here praying for brother, me and my nephew watch your videos all the time. He’s a big DBZ fan and draws all the time now. Take all the time off you need for your depression. Good content is created with true joy and happiness.
I really love your cheery vibe and the 'just have fun!' attitude and letting go of the perfectionism. It's something I struggle with from time to time. I focus on the comfortzone projects while pushing the big, unkown and scary project aside again and again. Yet here you are, diving into the deep and just playfully exploring. You're making my hands itch to pick up the goauche and tackle that big project. Thanks for being such a motivator and sorce for positivity! ^.^
Looks amazing 🤩 I’m going to check out these 👍🏻❤️ And yes art is fun and shouldn’t be stressful Iv just started drawing ✍️ again after years Forgot how calming it is 😌
It's so fun watching you learn about watercolor painting! Especially since you're an excellent artist who is still a total beginner at watercolor. Remember to add some water to get paint moving on larger areas. Paint beading up on plastic palettes is a common annoyance. If you want to avoid it there are some tricks like roughing it up with a scouring pad or toothpaste but the best option is to get a white ceramic pallete or use a white dinner plate or a white tile from the hardware store. Excellent job 💜
You know, both of those look incredible and looked so fun to create. I love how different the styles appear despite being done in the same medium. Really beautiful work sir.
You're art is amazing and I could watch you drawing and/or painting forever. I'm also very happy for you, because you seem to have re-ignited your joy for art and that makes watching you being creative even more enjoyable 🙂
For that beading on the palette, that happens when the surface is waterproof. Its not letting any liquid creat larger beads, making it look like your paint is dissappearing. I suggest using some hair spray to coat it with or roughing it up with some sand paper to prevent the frustrating beading.
@@luciferherring9210 there is. It lets you see the color of the paint easier as you mix it as well as seeing just how much of it you have left, seeing which color it which, and not wasting as much paint as you would through mixing.
The paint disappearing is because it's beading on the palettes surface. There is still the same amount of paint there it's just contracting into a bead of water. This is probably because you are using a high water concentration. If you don't want any beading you can get a ceramic palette or take a bit of steel wool or sandpaper to rough up the surface of the plastic palette (this will make the palette stain easier) Im a watercolor artist and that is what has worked for me in the past. I now use ceramic almost exclusively (but they are an investment)
....Birds have legs.... 😂Personally I think jelly gouache is just so much less pressure than a tube gouache. It's all right there, you don't need to squeeze out just the right amount and worry about wasting it. Sure, the quality isn't the same, but its just a fun medium to play around with. Love these gouache videos! :)
Lol! This video was great! I really like watching you explore painting. I’m a watercolorist so it’s entertaining watching you go through the same things I did. I’ve painted with gouache a few times and it is very fun once you get the hang of it. The paint “disappearing” issue you were having with the palette is common for new plastic and metal palettes. It’s called “beading”. The coating on the plastic is resisting the paint. You can use fine grit sandpaper or a nail buffer to lightly roughen the surface then use toothpaste to wash it. It will help remove the coating. Repeat these steps until the beading stops. The beading will also get less over time of using the palette. You can bypass this altogether by using a ceramic dinner plate to mix colors. Ceramic or porcelain are a dream to mix watercolor and gouache on. Oh! And eventually yes the jelly gouache will dry out. How fast depends on the climate you live. It won’t dry out as fast in a place more humid compared to the desert for example. If you occasionally spray the palette with water then close it before putting it away, it will last longer. Just make sure you are careful to not get any mold. Anyways, I enjoyed your video and am looking forward to seeing more 😁
@@ADCArtAttack You’re welcome! Yea the beading is VERY frustrating which is why ceramic is my preference. I live in a desert climate and high elevation so gouache dries SUPER fast on my ceramic palette. So for gouache I use a “Sta-Wet” palette to keep it moist while painting. Otherwise I’m constantly adding water to reconstitute the paint then having to add more paint to get it back to the consistency and opacity I want. Oh well, that’s the day and the life of an artist in the desert I suppose 🤪
If you want to use more gouache or watercolors, you can buy a ceramic palette (they have flower shape to separate the colors) or use a ceramic white dish (if has partitions like the ones you put food on them, better). Plastic palette are awful to retain the water and pigment like you can see it on 9:00
Yes! Loving the new Gouache videos! It looks so Awesome! 🔥Love that you went for DC or Marvel style drawing instead of the Anime inspired style! Love that you're trying out new mediums! This is making me want to go out and buy a Box of Gouache!
I'm pleased you tried the Himi gouache! It's so affordable and was my gateway to gouache. Please know that your efforts are an encouragement to me and I suspect many others too!
I really hope the Kiba plushies go into production because I really want mine! Great job on creating him, duper adorable and I know my dog is going to love cuddling with him! ❤
It's a solid piece, and you like it and the whole process, so that's all that matters. I do enjoy hearing about even the slight differences in the delivery of the paint.
I absolutely love it too! I have some of those Jelly Gouache but never used them yet. Thanks to you I will start this week, as I have a picture of my grandma to do.
I love your longer videos! Please keep up the work. This was so fun to watch - I love how much passion you have for these paints as you figure them out
The Batman! I’ve been excited for this one since you teased it on Instagram and it did not disappoint! I love that, with gouache, you give every piece a background that fits thematically with the character. Glad you went with the red like the movie marketing. And Batsy looks great! I was a little worried for his lips for a second there. LOL
I got a set of these paints a year ago now and honestly enjoy them so much. They do dry out in their container but they reactivate perfect if you start hydrating them with some time before you're planning on painting with them
And that is what art suppose to be... no gear, but relaxed and enjoying... good on you you found a medium that gives you that. Try to keep it that way.
So, I have a different Himi gouache set and even after not using them for months, they're still jelly consistency. I sprayed them down with water after the last use and sprayed them with water and stirred them up before using them a few months later and they're totally fine. Not dried out, no mold growing, etc.
Gouache has become my favourite overall traditional medium! You can also easily mix watercolour and gouache. I find it relaxing and intuitive to use as well! You get tons of rewettable paint with the jelly gouache which I love. Best amount for money.
Your videos are just so much fun to watch :) I really like the way you share your thoughts. When it comes to artworks that have a bit of a rougher style with more focus and light and shade for example, I actually think it is super interesting to look close and see the strokes that created these effects. PS: Kiba plushie is super cuute!
The palette is just beading up from the water in your paint. It does that because the plastic is so slippery and smooth. You can minimize the beading on the palette by scrubbing it with some toothpaste or with a magic eraser to add some tooth.
since you've been getting into guache you may want to look into a wet pallet, it helps thin the paint without adding a ton of water and it keeps the paint wet as long as the pallet stays damp
I can't with the cuteness of the plush, and design. I thought it would've been difficult to make Kiba any cuter, but wow. Blew me away. That Batman is like Michael Keaton and the animated series had a baby. Its pertyful!
I love watching your enthousiasm through your journey with gouache. I do think you had less fun with this jelly gouache than you had with the Arteza ones. I dunno why, you felt less excited, i guess ? Nevertheless, i like that you keep reminding us that art should be fun ! See ya next video ADC !
This is amazing! Your a really good artist! You’ve really inspired me to have more fun with art! Can’t wait until next week! Puppy is so cute and fluffy! 🤩
I shouted at the screen when I saw that micron. Your ink has always been my favorite aspect of your art, but to ask you to ignore this outstanding new facet felt selfish. If you find a way to make that work WITH your cool style…! Mind blown!
love your journey through gouache!! The paint "disappearing" on your palette is called beading. The paint is still there but.. moves and shrinks..? Not sure how to explain. You can help this by washing your palette with soap! The outer layer will be washed off and should prevent beading from happening in the future
Love this! Gouache is so much fun to use! ❤️ Fun tip when using a plastic palette, you can get a tiny bit of toothpaste and rub it on the palette, then wipe it away with a wet rag (or paper towel), then it won’t create those beads of paint you see. ☺️
Both pieces turned out great. I also think Kiba approves of his stuffed character version so much so he had to run away to play with it so you wouldn't steal it back, which you did anyway....lol. Can't wait to see your continuing adventures with gouache.

Kiba's drawing was way to aborable and the Batman one , I am speechless ❤️❤️

Hehe. It’s so funny seeing you struggling with the beading issue on the plastic platte. Cause we have all been there!! Either brush it down with something rough, or use a porcelin/ceramic or glass Plate!
With this kind of gouache its much easier to start with a watered down layer to block out your colors, and then go in with a thicker layer of the straight gouache, as you did with the test drawing of your pup! The paint lays easier and is easier to move around on thin base layer
The Himi Gouache was created for art students in Asia. It's not for final showpieces but it's for practicing since art schools in Asia almost always require students to practice their motor skills every day. It's the reason why the Himi Gouache is bulky af because you're not supposed to lug it around but leave it on your school desk and whip it out when practicing. This gouache doesn't really dry in the school setting because it's being rewet when used regularly.
You do so well with gouache. The medium has a certain look to it in general that is so nice and you do it so well. One of the many reasons I love Alex Ross’ art so much is because he uses gouache and it makes it all look so good.
You had me at Alex Ross.
Omg I was waiting for thisss so excited 🤩🤩
I kinda felt like jelly gouache has a little different technique than plain gouache and maybe the whole aesthetically pleasing camera friendly appearance gives it some of it's popularity. We'll never know unless you compare 😌
Tip:
If the paint pans dry out u can r reactivate them again with water and stirring them. It can be tedious but it’s worth it.
Tip for your plastic palette : scrub it with tooth paste, the small abrasion made by toothpaste will prevent the watery paints from pearling on the surface. I do it to every plastic palette I buy.
Tip: to keep them wet, dampen a paper towel and place it ontop of the paints anytime you close it. If they do happen to dry up, a bit of water and mixing with a palette knife and leaving it to sit for a couple minutes makes them like new again.
Ive had my himi set for over a year now and i genuinely love them.
As another some one with aspergers, the quirks and humor kill me everytime. Its so good. Additionally someday i want to get my hands on this pallet. And if anyone is feeling generous that kiba plushie would make a great bday gift for me next week. Lol. Its sooo freaking cute.
Such a cool Video! Every time you use gouache the paintings seem to be getting better. I've also been getting into gouache. Here are a few tips I've learnt that might help with anyone who could be struggling.
1) For the jelly gouache, when opening, try lifting up the edges all the way around before peeling the whole seal off. It's a lot less messy, especially with the harder to open tubs.
2) After opening all of the tubs, take a toothpick and give them all a stir (cleaning the toothpick between each colour). The texture of the paint will improve as some of the binder (that oily stuff) seems to separate out over time. A small spritz of water and a stir before you start painting for subsequent uses also helps.
3) To stop the pencil marks from "dirtying" the paint, take a kneadable eraser and use it to lightly lift off the excess graphite. there are plenty of RUclips videos showing how to do this. this is also useful if you are using watercolour paint.
4) If you are struggling with moving the paint around, especially for washes, you may need a tiny bit more water on your brush. play around with the amount of water as each brand will behave slightly differently. Even watered down, gouache has incredible coverage. Practice and learn how the paint behaves with different amounts of water and find the "sweet spot". Use an old rag to control the water on your brush.
5) For building up layers, start with more transparent layers and add less and less water for subsequent layers. This will help you to control the reactivation of the lower layers.
6) The paint disappearing on your pallet is just the consequence of using a plastic pallet. You can lessen the effect by taking the rough part of a kitchen sponge and roughing up the surface a bit. If gouache and watercolour are media you will be using a lot, a ceramic pallet (or just a ceramic plate if you are cheap like me) will make a world of difference. It's not necessary by any means, but it will make your painting colour mixing experience far more enjoyable. You can also spray a metal pallet with enamel paint.
Hope this helps anyone.
Actually if you want to avoid pencil marks.. switch from graphite to color pencil.. erasable color pencils (which yes are different from regular color pencil) are great for sketching as they don't smudge or bleed into your medium when you put something on it.. they can also be erased very easily and if you is the red kind of erasable color pencil (the sketch will barely show if you don't)
Super cute plushie - and painting of it, and a really cool Batman.
I never tried gouache myself so I have no clue about technicalities - but watching you paint with them was highly enjoyable.
You sounded like you had a lot of fun =)
Don't know if you're getting better with gouache every time, or 'tis just my perception, but I'm seriously in love with this medium...
I'd love even more to see you do a 'Style Swap' with them in order to see what it will do to stuff that's - to the best of my, little, knowledge - not painted...
This shows how much you've fallen in love with this medium
I'm worried that you'd break up with markers lol
ruclips.net/video/pl7RqE_ZAH8/видео.html
Lol I knew that would be Kiba's reaction to the plushie, I could see it in his eyes😂. True, art should be freeing and fun! Great job on both the Kiba and Batman paintings😁💕!
Really excited to see how you feel with the Windsor and newton gouache! It’s my gouache of choice and I definitely think that even as someone with not much painting experience, you will feel the difference!
I'm putting it against Arteza :p. I won't use it alone as I feel I may get a clouded view. Definitely excited however
They say wet a long time. But if they dry, before you use them sprits some water to them and they reset easy. And you can use them like a pan... you know like watercolors...
I bought destilled sterile water and spraybottle from where I spray the colours every now and then. Don't use tapwater, it may result mold growth. Be sure to click the lid properly so the colours don't dry.
Ps. I learned that sterile water tip from a RUclips video, so it is not my own idea. If I remember correct it was one of those qouache jelly tutorial videos, which I try to watch 💕
Great advice!
Thank you! I will try not to make this mistake again!
I use my bottled water, but if I didn't have it I'd have gone to the tap 😬 nice to know now.
For the palette, you can carefully sand it down to avoid the paint absorption effect. For the Kiba plushie - very cute :), also the art.
As for drying out - yes, if you don't use them for a while, but you can easily reactivate the entire cup by adding water and stirring after a while. I've done it to mine, and they still work nicely. I use the jelly gouache on the go, as it is way more comfy than bringing tubes with you.
edit: forgot to say, love the batman art too.
Don't forget to spray them between weeks and be careful to clean them because they sometimes catch mose or something
Loved this! I only found your videos because of the gouache vids! I thought I could answer some questions that you asked in the vid -- if others have covered this, apologies!
The "oily" stuff is likely gum arabic. It's the binder in both watercolor and gouache.
Your palette is causing the paint to "bead". The palette is so slick there's nothing for the gouache to grab on to, so it sticks to itself and looks like it disappears, but really it's just rushing to what it /can/ grab on to it.
While the gouache shouldn't hurt your pens, watercolor paper, specifically cold press or rough press will ruin them. If you use hot press (which is difficult to use, but provides a smooth surface) your pens will be safe.
Others have already offered advice on keeping them wet, so I won't go into that.
And yes, it's called "jelly" because it's kept in "jelly cups" like you find at a diner for your toast!
Hope this helps anyone curious!
Loving these awesome paintings an their backgrounds lately, ADC! Keep up the great work and please do more characters with these abstract walls behind them? It's one of the best aspects of your Batman and Arcane pieces :)
I love that you are feeling free to paint without reserve.
It’s fun to watch you rediscover the joy of art! I sense you becoming a professional gouache artist!
Love watching your excitement with this medium. I like your art any way you do it but it's neat to hear someone be excited about it.
On a teasing note, I found it funny you're repping Marvel on your shirt and hat then drawing/painting a DC character.
Absolutely love the finished work!!! Insane!! You are so excited while using these, its amazing to watch!
Bro! Your skills of drawing and coloring with all that detail is off the charts! You and Jazza are by far my top 2 artist to watch.
the reason for the name "jelly" in the jelly gouache lies entirely in the packaging! it mirrors existing sweets called jelly cups.
I’ve seen some gouache and watercolor artists take a kneaded eraser and ROLL it over the pencil to help prevent the extra graphite from discoloring the paint too much and limit what shows through.
Yaaaay! Hearing how relaxed gouache makes you feel makes me appreciate the painting experience more.
The thing where the paint disappears on the palette is called beading. There are several ways to prevent this, such as using a glue stick on the palette and then wiping it off. It'll stop the beading.
I’m here praying for brother, me and my nephew watch your videos all the time. He’s a big DBZ fan and draws all the time now. Take all the time off you need for your depression. Good content is created with true joy and happiness.
All of these gauche paintings of late are amazing. I think it would be great if you kept using this medium.
I really enjoy seeing your new-found enthusiasm for painting. I think your level of enjoyment has even elevated your art. Awesome video! 🎨🇨🇦
I really love your cheery vibe and the 'just have fun!' attitude and letting go of the perfectionism. It's something I struggle with from time to time. I focus on the comfortzone projects while pushing the big, unkown and scary project aside again and again. Yet here you are, diving into the deep and just playfully exploring. You're making my hands itch to pick up the goauche and tackle that big project. Thanks for being such a motivator and sorce for positivity! ^.^
Your so good at drawing it’s unbelievable how good your drawing are and also keep up the good work
The bit of Batmans face visible kind of looks like keatons Batman, nice. It’s nice watching you genuinely enjoy new mediums.
Looks amazing 🤩 I’m going to check out these 👍🏻❤️
And yes art is fun and shouldn’t be stressful
Iv just started drawing ✍️ again after years
Forgot how calming it is 😌
It's so fun watching you learn about watercolor painting! Especially since you're an excellent artist who is still a total beginner at watercolor. Remember to add some water to get paint moving on larger areas. Paint beading up on plastic palettes is a common annoyance. If you want to avoid it there are some tricks like roughing it up with a scouring pad or toothpaste but the best option is to get a white ceramic pallete or use a white dinner plate or a white tile from the hardware store. Excellent job 💜
You know, both of those look incredible and looked so fun to create. I love how different the styles appear despite being done in the same medium. Really beautiful work sir.
You're art is amazing and I could watch you drawing and/or painting forever. I'm also very happy for you, because you seem to have re-ignited your joy for art and that makes watching you being creative even more enjoyable 🙂
AYO LESSSGOOO U RLLY ROCKING THE NO GLASSES LOOK OFTEN NOW I'M SO PROUD AAAAAAAAA ....and I'm sure u didn't forget em in the bathroom hehe 😎🤝
once again an other amazing video! I'm very proud to be able to Witness your art progression & career. I appreciate you.
I can't STAND how cute Kiba is. Do I mean the painting, the plushie, or the original? Yes.
For that beading on the palette, that happens when the surface is waterproof. Its not letting any liquid creat larger beads, making it look like your paint is dissappearing. I suggest using some hair spray to coat it with or roughing it up with some sand paper to prevent the frustrating beading.
Honestly, I just deal with the beading. Is there any benefit to not letting it bead other than how it looks on the pallet?
@@luciferherring9210 there is. It lets you see the color of the paint easier as you mix it as well as seeing just how much of it you have left, seeing which color it which, and not wasting as much paint as you would through mixing.
I like the mask you gave Batman better than the actual one in the movie and i love the way they just pop
The paint disappearing is because it's beading on the palettes surface. There is still the same amount of paint there it's just contracting into a bead of water. This is probably because you are using a high water concentration. If you don't want any beading you can get a ceramic palette or take a bit of steel wool or sandpaper to rough up the surface of the plastic palette (this will make the palette stain easier) Im a watercolor artist and that is what has worked for me in the past. I now use ceramic almost exclusively (but they are an investment)
....Birds have legs.... 😂Personally I think jelly gouache is just so much less pressure than a tube gouache. It's all right there, you don't need to squeeze out just the right amount and worry about wasting it. Sure, the quality isn't the same, but its just a fun medium to play around with. Love these gouache videos! :)
Lol! This video was great! I really like watching you explore painting. I’m a watercolorist so it’s entertaining watching you go through the same things I did. I’ve painted with gouache a few times and it is very fun once you get the hang of it. The paint “disappearing” issue you were having with the palette is common for new plastic and metal palettes. It’s called “beading”. The coating on the plastic is resisting the paint. You can use fine grit sandpaper or a nail buffer to lightly roughen the surface then use toothpaste to wash it. It will help remove the coating. Repeat these steps until the beading stops. The beading will also get less over time of using the palette. You can bypass this altogether by using a ceramic dinner plate to mix colors. Ceramic or porcelain are a dream to mix watercolor and gouache on. Oh! And eventually yes the jelly gouache will dry out. How fast depends on the climate you live. It won’t dry out as fast in a place more humid compared to the desert for example. If you occasionally spray the palette with water then close it before putting it away, it will last longer. Just make sure you are careful to not get any mold. Anyways, I enjoyed your video and am looking forward to seeing more 😁
Thank you so much for the advice! I'll be looking into this going forward then! Never experienced that before
@@ADCArtAttack You’re welcome! Yea the beading is VERY frustrating which is why ceramic is my preference. I live in a desert climate and high elevation so gouache dries SUPER fast on my ceramic palette. So for gouache I use a “Sta-Wet” palette to keep it moist while painting. Otherwise I’m constantly adding water to reconstitute the paint then having to add more paint to get it back to the consistency and opacity I want. Oh well, that’s the day and the life of an artist in the desert I suppose 🤪
If you want to use more gouache or watercolors, you can buy a ceramic palette (they have flower shape to separate the colors) or use a ceramic white dish (if has partitions like the ones you put food on them, better). Plastic palette are awful to retain the water and pigment like you can see it on 9:00
Brilliant as always. I am so grateful that you are sharing yourself and art with us. Looking forward to your next video.
Yes! Loving the new Gouache videos! It looks so Awesome! 🔥Love that you went for DC or Marvel style drawing instead of the Anime inspired style! Love that you're trying out new mediums! This is making me want to go out and buy a Box of Gouache!
I'm pleased you tried the Himi gouache! It's so affordable and was my gateway to gouache. Please know that your efforts are an encouragement to me and I suspect many others too!
I really hope the Kiba plushies go into production because I really want mine! Great job on creating him, duper adorable and I know my dog is going to love cuddling with him! ❤
It's a solid piece, and you like it and the whole process, so that's all that matters. I do enjoy hearing about even the slight differences in the delivery of the paint.
I absolutely love it too! I have some of those Jelly Gouache but never used them yet. Thanks to you I will start this week, as I have a picture of my grandma to do.
I love your longer videos! Please keep up the work. This was so fun to watch - I love how much passion you have for these paints as you figure them out
The Batman! I’ve been excited for this one since you teased it on Instagram and it did not disappoint! I love that, with gouache, you give every piece a background that fits thematically with the character. Glad you went with the red like the movie marketing. And Batsy looks great! I was a little worried for his lips for a second there. LOL
I'm so glad I did! I wasn't planning to do one as it wasn't a serious painting. But, really was a great idea :)
Love it! I really enjoyed watching your process learning to work with the material and being so care-free in your methods of making amazing art!
Love this, watching you make the art is why I am here and the joy you have while making it 😊
Meanwhile in another universe ADC Art Attack has uploaded another video
I got a set of these paints a year ago now and honestly enjoy them so much. They do dry out in their container but they reactivate perfect if you start hydrating them with some time before you're planning on painting with them
You're the best drawing youtuber ever since
Another fun guache video! I love watching you discover this new medium with joy and enthusiasm!!
And that is what art suppose to be... no gear, but relaxed and enjoying... good on you you found a medium that gives you that. Try to keep it that way.
That is stunning! So stunning! Up close it looks amazing and from a far off look it's amazing as well! Great job!
So, I have a different Himi gouache set and even after not using them for months, they're still jelly consistency. I sprayed them down with water after the last use and sprayed them with water and stirred them up before using them a few months later and they're totally fine. Not dried out, no mold growing, etc.
Gouache has become my favourite overall traditional medium! You can also easily mix watercolour and gouache. I find it relaxing and intuitive to use as well! You get tons of rewettable paint with the jelly gouache which I love. Best amount for money.
Ok your Batman turned out AMAZING. I’m so so excited to see it. I love the background so so much too!!!!!
Dude, awesome piece. I'm stoked about more Batman. Keep the Gouache train rolling. Love the stuff your producing and the mentality behind it.
Your videos are just so much fun to watch :) I really like the way you share your thoughts. When it comes to artworks that have a bit of a rougher style with more focus and light and shade for example, I actually think it is super interesting to look close and see the strokes that created these effects.
PS: Kiba plushie is super cuute!
It’s great seeing you enjoy a new medium!
THIS IS SO AMAZING. I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS NEW CONTENT
My kids were in tears from “I’m Batman!” and have been repeating it all morning. So…thanks for that.
Your ‘I’m Batman’ is awesome 😂
I love these gouache vids. Your enthusiasm for the new medium is uplifting.
Everything you create looks amazing 🤩
and btw that Keeba plush is adorable
love seeing you enjoying your new art supplies. keep it up.
The palette is just beading up from the water in your paint. It does that because the plastic is so slippery and smooth. You can minimize the beading on the palette by scrubbing it with some toothpaste or with a magic eraser to add some tooth.
since you've been getting into guache you may want to look into a wet pallet, it helps thin the paint without adding a ton of water and it keeps the paint wet as long as the pallet stays damp
I love you enthusiasm for gouache. Glad to see you loving it.
I have these and have done a little tentative playing around with them, but your video has inspired me to just give it a full go! Thank you!
Ohhh I loved that little Kiba painting so much! 😍
I can't with the cuteness of the plush, and design. I thought it would've been difficult to make Kiba any cuter, but wow. Blew me away. That Batman is like Michael Keaton and the animated series had a baby. Its pertyful!
I love watching your enthousiasm through your journey with gouache. I do think you had less fun with this jelly gouache than you had with the Arteza ones. I dunno why, you felt less excited, i guess ? Nevertheless, i like that you keep reminding us that art should be fun ! See ya next video ADC !
This is amazing! Your a really good artist! You’ve really inspired me to have more fun with art! Can’t wait until next week! Puppy is so cute and fluffy! 🤩
The Batman impressions made my evening 😂
Up next on Adc Art Attack: Jelly Gouache vrs Regular Gouache......
;) maybe
Yesss.That is what we NEED!
I can’t believe you did this in only four hours! Batman just pops out from the red background.
I shouted at the screen when I saw that micron. Your ink has always been my favorite aspect of your art, but to ask you to ignore this outstanding new facet felt selfish. If you find a way to make that work WITH your cool style…! Mind blown!
love your journey through gouache!!
The paint "disappearing" on your palette is called beading. The paint is still there but.. moves and shrinks..? Not sure how to explain.
You can help this by washing your palette with soap! The outer layer will be washed off and should prevent beading from happening in the future
Love this! Gouache is so much fun to use! ❤️
Fun tip when using a plastic palette, you can get a tiny bit of toothpaste and rub it on the palette, then wipe it away with a wet rag (or paper towel), then it won’t create those beads of paint you see. ☺️
Both pieces turned out great. I also think Kiba approves of his stuffed character version so much so he had to run away to play with it so you wouldn't steal it back, which you did anyway....lol. Can't wait to see your continuing adventures with gouache.
Awesome art as always. Always looking forward to more adc videos
