Thank you so much for actually doing a painting with the unboxed and swatched paints. One of my pet peeves is when an artist unboxes art supplies and has no demo with them! Nicely done and so helpful.
I have become acquainted with gouache over these last two years and have really learned to love them. James Gurney gave me a lot of ideas, but MoW is still my favorite “go to” site for “how to”…thanks, Steve 😍
I love Wet Paint! They are the best fine art store I have been to! They’re almost 2 hours away from me, but we’ll worth the trip! They have everything you could want, in stock. They also sell online! Woo hoo!
Definitely a great & very helpful video. Presently I am using Winsor & Newton for everything (watercolors, gouache, colored pencils, watercolor pencils), my local art store is carrying more Daniel Smith & M Graham so it’s nice to see how your comparisons & opinions are. I appreciate your testing & knowledge since I’m just getting comfortable jumping from beginner to an intermediate level Artist 👩🏻🎨. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful news with us! Have a great weekend! ❤
It's awesome that Daniel Smith has a gouache line now, I bought some a couple of weeks ago from Wet Paint also and I've been enjoying them so far, I noticed they hadn't separated in the tubes which I like, I enjoy painting with Nicker Poster Colors in my sketchbook and the way the binder separates in the tubes can be a bit annoying sometimes. I think the best thing about the Daniel Smith line is their lightfastness, so I will feel comfortable using them for work that I would sell. Great video, Steve!
Thanks Linda. I can simply say that Daniel Smith is a great, pro quality brand with an awesome reputation. Everything else is preference. Not much else needs review. You will find a few videos where I cover specific colors.
Thanks for this great review about the Daniel Smith gouache you purchased. I'm especially thrilled to find a good white since the ones I used, on occasion, I've not been happy with. Over the years, I have always been thankful for how much you teach viewers and the great variety you cover.
Beautiful! My experience is that Daler-Rowney Pro White is the most opaque of the non-acrylic gouache whites. Wet Paint is such a great store. I'm a fan of the limited palette. Earlier this year I was able to run a watercolor class for beginners with just Da Vinci Hansa Yellow Light, Perm. Quin. Rose, Manganese Blue Hue, and DaVinci Violet. I love your videos and how you keep us up to date on the latest!!
Thanks! As a gouache beginner, I got some Schmincke Akademie Gouache, at an unbeatable 3.5€ for 60ml, yes 60ml! They have excellent lightfastness (4 and 5 out of 5 stars) and many are just one pigment. I figured, if I liked it, I would go further. I cannot justify 10/15€ for a tube of gouache. I still haven't finished the tubes after a couple of years and they are so good, that I don't see any reason to change or upgrade. If you can get hold of them, they are definitely worth getting them. The Schmincke Akademie has a 24 colour range, but more than enough for me to explore the medium. Thanks for your honest review, Steve! I always appreciate your point of view.
I'm so glad you made the point about adding lights for opacity. It frustrates me when people expect opaque dark without fillers. That said grays are great to add also of course for opacity and value control
Love this video and I'm really excted for these! John from Daniel Smith said in a stream a while back that the reason why there's 22 colors to start is that paint tube racks carry 11 tubes per row and he wanted to fill two rows. The next set of colors to come out will also come in a batch of 22, supposedly! I may buy some primaries, but I may also wait for the next batch of colors to drop!
Steve - you got the YT scoop! Since I saw Wet Paint's announcement of DS gouache in stock, I've been checking YT daily looking for reviews. And it was you - YEA! As always, thanks for the excellent review.
I knew it was Gouache because it’s in the title. What I didn’t know is that Daniel Smith is now doing Gouache. Really looking forward to see them and hear what you think of them. When I catch your vids, I always enjoy them. Thanks “Dave” ✨
Great review! You’ve quickly become one of my favorite artists for reviews and watercolor techniques. I came here right after watching your top gouache brands video and it’s really helped me make my decision as to what brand I’ll be going with for my starter gouache set. Thanks, Steve! 😊
I contacted Daniel Smith about a month ago and asked them if they'll be adding more colors and this was their response: "Thank you for your email. Yes, we will be adding 22 more colors later this year." I'm really looking forward to seeing what they add - hopefully they'll be including some of their staples, like Sap Green. It's strange that they would have chosen to include a super bright green like Spring Green for the first run and not a more popular one like Sap. But I'm happy that, in the last couple of months, they've also added Yellow Ochre and one other that I can't remember. Also, for those looking for it, Blick now has Daniel Smith gouache.
Stopped by Wet Paint the other day and was surprised to see that Daniel Smith had made gouache! A lot of colors were sold out already, so I only picked up a couple of tubes. Glad you're doing a review on this!
I really like Daler-Rowney Gouache. I think Daniel Smith watercolours are gorgeous, but I will stick with what I like in Gouache, thanks to this review. 😊
Thank you for another inspiring video! When I hear your intro music and instantly feel settled down enough to relax into a painting state of mind. Just dab, dab, dab, stroke, dab satisfaction, hahaha. Cheers from my chemo bed in Ottawa. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸💪🏼😎🎨
Oh my lucky stars!!! I'm such a Daniel Smith girl! I see my wallet getting smaller lol! And Buff Titanium in gouache... squeeeeee!!!!! And Wisteria too 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I have some MGraham gouache. I like using it, but more as a texture and especially to facilitate lifting. I don't paint in the typical way with areas of straight flat opaque colour.
Daniel Smith made gouache while I wasn't looking ahah I like titanium buff, which isn't always available in watercolors or gouache, so I will definitely be buying that color if nothing else. Thanks for making this video!
I love gouache and I like to combine wc and gouache in a painting. My favorite brand is Turners Design Gouache. It’s creamy and vibrant and budget priced. But i would still buy it if it wasn’t budget.
Thanks for the info, I love my Daniel Smith watercolors and have recently been giving gouache a try. I bought jelly gouache and I’m enjoying it, and maybe when I’m ready to invest, I’ll purchase the DS brand. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
I love these paints. The colors are very pigment loaded. I do think, however, the white is not strong enough. I have to use more white with the Daniel Smith Titanium white. I feel like I didn't squeeze enough white on the palette. Completely opposite when I use M. Graham's white. I feel like I always squeeze too much white out with M. Graham and have leftover paint, which I try not to make a habit of. I definitely think that the Daniel Smith gouache colors are amazing and the paint will go a long way, but I think their white can use a little more pigment. Great video and painting! Thanks!!
Thank you! Was able to find some online from Merri Artist, an art shop in Oregon and they just arrived! Can't wait to use them this weekend. Also got two of their new watercolors as well, King's Royal Blue and Chrome Titanate Yellow!
Thanks for this good and honest review and also for reminding viewers that they don't HAVE to buy these just bc they're "new." I have a small collection of WN Designer gouache and a lesser amount of Holbein gouache. I also just received a set of Turner Acryl gouache that I purchased from Jerry's. I wanted to try it, for one reason, in some cases, bc I thought it would be helpful to have an under layer that wouldn't rewet. I haven't even swatched the set out yet, but I think I'm gonna like it and have heard very good things about it and looking forward to using it.👍🙏🏼
John Cogley of Daniel Smith did a live stream over a month ago discussing and demonstrating their new Gouache line. There is no white paint in their Gouache, and it has a very high pigment load. You can see it on RUclips.
Thank you for sharing 😊!!! I'm a beginner and learning about gouache. Have some... just used some metallic gouache (student) for Christmas cards and experimented with some metallic gel pens. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! 😊
Wow that’s really exciting that Daniel smith are now making gouache! Thanks for the review 😊 If these are sold in the uk they will be a fortune I am sure, and don’t look too different, I think I’ll be sticking with Windsor and newton.
I'd have thought the Daniel Smith advantage would be if they do expand their colours in gouache to include some of their massive range of watercolours. i'm thankful none of the suppliers I use stock these yet so I can resist the lure of yet more paint!
That is such a nice color palette. I am using W&N designers gouache currently but this buff titanium speaks to me 😄 Am curious if they will add more colors in the future, or what they plan to do with the gouache line overall but also the current choice of colors is sufficient already to paint mostly anything.
I love gouache and love watercolour. I sometimes use them both together. This is exciting but I have enough gouache 🤔 already. It’s nice to know you can match the colors to both watercolour and the gouache tho.
I noticed they had come out with a gouache line but couldn't find them anywhere in Australia (yet). I still love my W&N gouache... old tubes are still good after 25 years and colours are unmatched in my opinion. Schmincke and Holbein both come in at second. Even though I'm in Australia I always buy from Jackson's. Best prices (for Aussies anyway). Thanks Steve, always a pleasure to watch your channel.🙏😉 Merry Christmas!
Schmincke has a collaboration with I Thought they called it HKS designer gouache. I just thought I mention that to you, given both you and Marty drool all over the schmincke products. The HKS designer gouache is a line people use for illustration; it acts the same like gouache; but doesn't have the choppy structure of it. That is not for this one. But you did work with illustrations. I prefer those over regular gouache. Just a tip for you to try and compare. Im sure if you mix with regular you can get the choppy structure. But just a tip.
Will you be doing a new gift idea video this year? I just want to know if I need to refer my husband 🤣😂🤣😂. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing your talent.
I hope they start selling them where I am (so far still only WC). I use Holbein because it's the least expensive really good gouache for me, but I love buff titanium so that's a tube of gouache I must obtain. Holbein paints are absolutely amazing but they have fewer colors than the other big manufacturers (both gouache and wc) so sometimes it's necessary to pick up a tube of W&N or what not - unless you count Holbein's irodori line but those are more akin to gansai water colors rather than normal gouache. For example, Holbein has some really nice red earth pigments in their WC line, but they don't have anything like Indian red or red ochre in their gouache line which is strange.
New to gouache and really excited to start diving in. I look forward to trying out Daniel Smith’s brand. I was wondering how you store your palette with leftover paint on it? Also how you store your tubes of gouache, in a bag, etc? Thank you, Steve, again for a wonderful video!!
Tubes just in a drawer like any paint. I don’t save gouache put out fresh on a flat pallet but I have some gouache put in pan palettes just like regular watercolor.
I love gouache. I have Windsor Newton white gouache. Just bought Paul Rubins gouache and love them. I know Daniel Smith has a great reputation. But I wonder if you are paying for the brand name. But there watercolour is 5 star.
Another wonderful video -- thank you! I'm new to gouache and had thought the top reason to use it is for its opacity (as compared to traditional watercolor), so I'm confused about why we would want to have any hues that are not fully opaque. Is that for the purpose of "special effects" in the paintings?
No special effects or purpose. They are watercolors like any other but with more opaque pigments. These compared to gouache ARE fairly transparent. It's just a characteristic that is particular to these pigments. Denise assembled them because she likes those characteristics and how they handle.
Question: If I get the DS essentials kit of 3 cool and 3 warm primary colors so that I can learn to mix, what M. Graham colors should I get to go with it to be able to mix lots of colors like you do? It absolutely amazes me to see you mix colors! I want to get all 10 of the M Graham colors that are in your kit, and I found most of them on Amazon, but I can't get them all in one splurge, just a few at a time. Also I saw the video of the Derwent Graphtint 12 Pan Palette on Amazon for only $25.00, so I'm going to get that because I love those gorgeous colors, and it looks fun without being overwhelming. You're very talented and knowledgeable, and you have a friendly, easy, congenital manner that makes learning about watercolor interesting, inspiring and fun. I've been binge watching your videos and it makes me yearn to be able to create beautiful paintings.
if you don't mind me answering, if you already have a primary yellow, I recommend getting a permanent magenta and a cyan in order to mix all colors in any medium.
Just tried my WN white gouache and a watery liquid dripped out before I could get the paint on palette! I ended up just going in with a dry brush to put on my palette! I suppose this makes the gouache left in the tube a bit drier!
Steve, I always love your videos and learn so much from them. But may I also say how much I enjoy the Bible verses at the end? They always leave me with something more to think about.👌🙂
Ooooh Shiny !nice selection and single pigment. This is going to be fun . Hoping I rake in the gift cards this Christmas, I spent my birthday money on Lebenzon ! Love the color selection . Question- does gouache make it mixed media instead of Watercoln?
Not in my opinion. It’s still watercolor. But some prefer the distinction between transparent watercolor and gouache. It does create a different look. The only place you need to worry about labels is in show entries where they have rules regarding such. Just read those carefully.
@@mindofwatercolor you are so generous with your work and knowledge.... I have never submitted to a juried show. I do love to paint, and started with watercolor after watching your first video. You always inspire, encourage and teach me something I didn't know. I have a tube of MG titanium white that I use, as with their paint once you use it the rest come close but simply don't measure up. Thank you. And the Lebenzon brushes are fantastic, worth every penny and beautiful works if art in their ow right!
I loved the wisteria the most out of all the colors :) I hope it's okay that I ask this, but do you have any experience with Lascaux gouache, and if so, what's your opinion of it? It's available in huge bottles here in the Netherlands and is supposed to be a professional level gouache, and I want to upgrade when my current student level gouache (royal talens) runs out. It's a more economical option for me. W&N and Daniel Smith are sooo expensive here that I can't justify it to my bank account😂 Huge fan of your videos!!
I must ask this- if you are going to start using these, will you stick to this basic 12? Will you be adding on as you go? Or will you just stack them on a shelve? Curious mind gotta know. Thank you for todays video.
Although W&N gouache is pretty good (especially for opacity), they are a total pain when it comes to being split. I've bought two tubes of cobalt blue at different times that were almost entirely split. I've had a tube of ivory black with the same problem. It's *so* annoying.
I have only had that with two tubes, and I have about fifty. I think it's caused by age of the tube but I'm not sure. The first time it happened I soaked up the binder with a tissue. Although I'm pretty sure that isn't advised it didn't seem to hurt it. the second one I stirred with a toothpick.
@@beckbabej I've had it with one large tube of ivory black, and two tubes of curulean blue (not cobalt). Bought from different places too I think. This is out of about 30 tubes total. Stirring with a toothpick helps, but the pain always still feels very loose afterward.
Hmm, and I'm not sure which comment you mean. Gouache can be tried by just buying white and mixing with your watercolor colors. But you also don't want to mix gouache into your transparent watercolor palette. Bring transparent watercolor over to your gouache instead. Maybe those were the comments you meant.
I saw them a couple of times on Instagram. I think a few are okay and then there are more unique colors like, Wisteria, Lavender and Cascade Green that can be a great addition. I have been using Winsor & Newton and Schmincke Horadam Gouache for quite some time now but I don't really understand the hype about Daniel Smith gouache on social media.
Thank you, Steve! It's been awhile since I've used the gouache. Could you please tell what is the last brush you used to add details to your sketch - # 12 Golden Natural Blend... ?
It is probably a Silver Brush "Golden Natural" Ultra Round. It's a synthetic/natural blend. Very long, fine point on the ultra round, finer than appears in this video. The standard rounds in the series are pretty chunky and don't hold much of a point, but I have come to appreciate them all.
Happy thanksgiving to you, skully and Wife :):) ps; you talked about m graham; is their line of gouache worth the money? It is not an eu brand thus bit more expensive but I kinda like honey based paints.
Crap. I just, minutes ago, purchased a set of Holbein gouache based on your last reviews!! I probably would have gone DS if I'd known (and they'd been available)!!!
Thank you so much for actually doing a painting with the unboxed and swatched paints. One of my pet peeves is when an artist unboxes art supplies and has no demo with them! Nicely done and so helpful.
Wow! I'm shocked to see Daniel Smith make gouache. I'm excited to see how the medium is becoming more and more popular!
I have become acquainted with gouache over these last two years and have really learned to love them. James Gurney gave me a lot of ideas, but MoW is still my favorite “go to” site for “how to”…thanks, Steve 😍
I love Wet Paint! They are the best fine art store I have been to! They’re almost 2 hours away from me, but we’ll worth the trip! They have everything you could want, in stock. They also sell online! Woo hoo!

Your channel is one of my favs. I would love to see you do a review on Daniel Smith's dot cards, watercolor sticks and permatek colors.

I’d love to see a review on mission gold gouache. Especially given their price point. I’m a big fan of their watercolor
I gasped when I saw the Buff Titanium. As far as I know, no other gouache maker has it. Definitely going for that one.

never been disappointed with a Daniel Smith paint before.

Ok. I did not need to know about these :) I just bought some gouache and now I am going to have to buy some more. Thanks for the vid!
Depends on what you bought. If you bought a quality gouache you don't need this. Don't buy it based on the name alone.

So glad you reviewed these! Did you do any mixing, and if so how well did the colors mix?
Yes, mixed very well.
Will you be doing a new gift idea video this year? I just want to know if I need to refer my husband 🤣😂🤣😂. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing your talent.
No sorry!
oh this is such a good news !!!! It s hard to say if it s a designer gouache or an artist gouache .... (it seems to be designers to me)
Those titles don't really tell you anything. Better to look up the pigment, lightfast, and other info for each brand.
Looks good, but the range just can’t compete with Schmincke Horadam right now.
Nice sketch!
Wow!!!! You sure surprised me. Pleasantly. Just how expensive are they ? Please let me know. Karen from Canada
I hope they start selling them where I am (so far still only WC). I use Holbein because it's the least expensive really good gouache for me, but I love buff titanium so that's a tube of gouache I must obtain. Holbein paints are absolutely amazing but they have fewer colors than the other big manufacturers (both gouache and wc) so sometimes it's necessary to pick up a tube of W&N or what not - unless you count Holbein's irodori line but those are more akin to gansai water colors rather than normal gouache. For example, Holbein has some really nice red earth pigments in their WC line, but they don't have anything like Indian red or red ochre in their gouache line which is strange.
Awesome
Nice job. Thank You
Buy pigments from Natural Pigments and mull your own watercolors! It’s a game changer!
New to gouache and really excited to start diving in. I look forward to trying out Daniel Smith’s brand. I was wondering how you store your palette with leftover paint on it? Also how you store your tubes of gouache, in a bag, etc? Thank you, Steve, again for a wonderful video!!
Tubes just in a drawer like any paint. I don’t save gouache put out fresh on a flat pallet but I have some gouache put in pan palettes just like regular watercolor.
@@mindofwatercolor Thank you, Steve 🙏🏼
Yay! ❤
"Let's get another one!"
I love gouache. I have Windsor Newton white gouache. Just bought Paul Rubins gouache and love them. I know Daniel Smith has a great reputation. But I wonder if you are paying for the brand name. But there watercolour is 5 star.
Another wonderful video -- thank you! I'm new to gouache and had thought the top reason to use it is for its opacity (as compared to traditional watercolor), so I'm confused about why we would want to have any hues that are not fully opaque. Is that for the purpose of "special effects" in the paintings?
No special effects or purpose. They are watercolors like any other but with more opaque pigments. These compared to gouache ARE fairly transparent. It's just a characteristic that is particular to these pigments. Denise assembled them because she likes those characteristics and how they handle.
Sorry , another question - Do you use your good WC brushes interchangeably with WC and gouache?
I don’t but you could actually. I tend to use a slightly stiffer brush but you don’t have to.
Question: If I get the DS essentials kit of 3 cool and 3 warm primary colors so that I can learn to mix, what M. Graham colors should I get to go with it to be able to mix lots of colors like you do? It absolutely amazes me to see you mix colors! I want to get all 10 of the M Graham colors that are in your kit, and I found most of them on Amazon, but I can't get them all in one splurge, just a few at a time. Also I saw the video of the Derwent Graphtint 12 Pan Palette on Amazon for only $25.00, so I'm going to get that because I love those gorgeous colors, and it looks fun without being overwhelming. You're very talented and knowledgeable, and you have a friendly, easy, congenital manner that makes learning about watercolor interesting, inspiring and fun. I've been binge watching your videos and it makes me yearn to be able to create beautiful paintings.
if you don't mind me answering, if you already have a primary yellow, I recommend getting a permanent magenta and a cyan in order to mix all colors in any medium.
12! 😮
Mind..you do nice stuff, I'm going to follow you, thanks..
Thanks for the review. I’m wondering what to do if gouache has separated in the tube?
Just tried my WN white gouache and a watery liquid dripped out before I could get the paint on palette! I ended up just going in with a dry brush to put on my palette! I suppose this makes the gouache left in the tube a bit drier!
Use a cake tester to stir it in the tube.
Steve, I always love your videos and learn so much from them. But may I also say how much I enjoy the Bible verses at the end? They always leave me with something more to think about.👌🙂
Ooooh Shiny !nice selection and single pigment. This is going to be fun . Hoping I rake in the gift cards this Christmas, I spent my birthday money on Lebenzon ! Love the color selection . Question- does gouache make it mixed media instead of Watercoln?
Not in my opinion. It’s still watercolor. But some prefer the distinction between transparent watercolor and gouache. It does create a different look. The only place you need to worry about labels is in show entries where they have rules regarding such. Just read those carefully.
@@mindofwatercolor you are so generous with your work and knowledge.... I have never submitted to a juried show. I do love to paint, and started with watercolor after watching your first video. You always inspire, encourage and teach me something I didn't know. I have a tube of MG titanium white that I use, as with their paint once you use it the rest come close but simply don't measure up. Thank you. And the Lebenzon brushes are fantastic, worth every penny and beautiful works if art in their ow right!
I loved the wisteria the most out of all the colors :)
I hope it's okay that I ask this, but do you have any experience with Lascaux gouache, and if so, what's your opinion of it? It's available in huge bottles here in the Netherlands and is supposed to be a professional level gouache, and I want to upgrade when my current student level gouache (royal talens) runs out. It's a more economical option for me. W&N and Daniel Smith are sooo expensive here that I can't justify it to my bank account😂
Huge fan of your videos!!
No sorry. Not familiar. Thanks!
I must ask this- if you are going to start using these, will you stick to this basic 12? Will you be adding on as you go? Or will you just stack them on a shelve?
Curious mind gotta know.
Thank you for todays video.
I’ll stick with the 12 most likely. I don’t use a lot of gouache colors since they can so easily be mixed with transparent watercolor.
Although W&N gouache is pretty good (especially for opacity), they are a total pain when it comes to being split. I've bought two tubes of cobalt blue at different times that were almost entirely split. I've had a tube of ivory black with the same problem. It's *so* annoying.
I have only had that with two tubes, and I have about fifty. I think it's caused by age of the tube but I'm not sure. The first time it happened I soaked up the binder with a tissue. Although I'm pretty sure that isn't advised it didn't seem to hurt it. the second one I stirred with a toothpick.
@@beckbabej I've had it with one large tube of ivory black, and two tubes of curulean blue (not cobalt). Bought from different places too I think. This is out of about 30 tubes total. Stirring with a toothpick helps, but the pain always still feels very loose afterward.
Love your videos, Steve! Not sure what you mean by "add one gouache to your watercolors". How? Can you show an example?
Hmm, and I'm not sure which comment you mean. Gouache can be tried by just buying white and mixing with your watercolor colors. But you also don't want to mix gouache into your transparent watercolor palette. Bring transparent watercolor over to your gouache instead. Maybe those were the comments you meant.
what did you mix for the dark purple at the end? :Dc sometimes I find the purples are hard to find in gouache
Ultramarine and Quinacridone Magenta. Makes a wonderful purple.
I saw them a couple of times on Instagram. I think a few are okay and then there are more unique colors like, Wisteria, Lavender and Cascade Green that can be a great addition. I have been using Winsor & Newton and Schmincke Horadam Gouache for quite some time now but I don't really understand the hype about Daniel Smith gouache on social media.
Big time player getting into the gouache market is big news.
Thank you, Steve! It's been awhile since I've used the gouache. Could you please tell what is the last brush you used to add details to your sketch - # 12 Golden Natural Blend... ?
It is probably a Silver Brush "Golden Natural" Ultra Round. It's a synthetic/natural blend. Very long, fine point on the ultra round, finer than appears in this video. The standard rounds in the series are pretty chunky and don't hold much of a point, but I have come to appreciate them all.
@@greenbuttskunked thank you! I will try to find it
Happy thanksgiving to you, skully and Wife :):) ps; you talked about m graham; is their line of gouache worth the money? It is not an eu brand thus bit more expensive but I kinda like honey based paints.
It’s worth it here in the US but depending on your price might not be.
@@mindofwatercolor I might try me a tube of the white first and go from there.
Crap. I just, minutes ago, purchased a set of Holbein gouache based on your last reviews!! I probably would have gone DS if I'd known (and they'd been available)!!!
Oh but why? You made a fabulous choice! And Holbein has a lot more colors currently.
Don't be upset. Holbein is excellent! You could always add some DS to your Holbein, or replace the Holbein colours that will run out with DS. 😊
Love my Holbein Marine blue and Peacock blue... they just melt on paper!
Those were watercolors!
