Gouache Rocks! It makes it so much easier than having to mask like daisies flowers in a dark background you can just paint on the daisies are the lighter color flowers without having to go through all that masking process gouache is amazing I just love the actual depth of the color it's just amazing and so much fun to work with❤
I bought some gouache colours some weeks ago to celebrate that I passed my law exam. This is something I really enjoyed, and even if watercolour has been my go to, I have now found a new love (, the only struggle I had was making the brush strokes, because my kitten thought the brushes were her new play things). / Scandinavian
❤ i haven't used gouache before but i have done acrylic painting. Having fun with watercolor and now , this. I like this and im excited to use it . Beautiful ❤️ Thank you Ellen 😊
I’ve been playing with gouache for a couple of months and I love it and sometimes when I mess up my watercolour I add gouache to fix the mistakes😀 I’ve only been painting for four months and I’m just getting confident and experimenting but I’m so excited for gouache 😀 love your vlogs I’m learning lots 👍
@@ellencrimitrent I can do lots of lines, but have trouble painting loose leaves. I tried to paint an apple tree and painting each leaf took forever! Could you consider a tutorial on how to suggest shapes/ or a technique that means you don't have to do that, I guess a more illustrative style? 🙏 I also have trouble with leaf shapes and petal shapes, although your sunflowers tutorial was awesome in that sense.
When I was at Art College late 60’s early 70’s we used Gouache all the time for our designs and I loved it’s covering up strengths. Pleased to see you using it again in your tutorials encouraging more people to try the possibilities.
Thank you for this video. I love painting with gouache. I love saying the word. I do use other mediums for convenience and effect. I like using chalk pastels with alcohol to create soft backgrounds without loading the surface. Same with watercolor. Gouache over granulating watercolors! 😘
I began with a gouache tin with cakes and fell for gouache! And companies stopped selling the tins and the cakes, 5 or 6 years ago; just recently I discovered you🙂Thank you! Now I understand Gouache & And What you have taught me has spurred me on to continue …..and use it as I want! As a watercolor, AND as embellishments! Love all your videos!! Keep it up, and I will too! With great affection, Susan in 😮 Hot Phoenix
I never thought this to be true being a lover of watercolour, but gouache is indeed the Best. ❤️ I bought a few Holbein tubes and the Himi Miya jelly, oh my I Love love love it. My hideous art looks was better in gouache than watercolour. I lay base colours and/or subsequent layers in watercolour and then make it yummy with the final layer in gouache. It could be a function of my cheap brushes or my cellulose paper but my watered down gouache looks patchy and streaky hence I use watercolour for that. Maybe I love it also because the jelly cups look like dessert 🤣. I am still learning the right water to pigment ratio for the gouache though. Will come with practice.
I am new to watercolor and was watching several artists using gouache and bought some. I love it how it layers on like acrylic but that you can water it down like watercolor.
Hello there! I've been - into art for many years and have had what I would call a little natural talent that has impressed people who don't know what they're doing or what they're seeing but does not get me by real artists so in the last 8 to 10 months, I've been trying to kick myself into gear and I'm really making the effort to learn about different mediums, what they are useful for, and the strengths and weaknesses as well. I started watercolor painting several months ago and indeed, watercolor "purists" tend to really bash gouache. I happened into it rather accidentally really - sort of. I purchased Paul Rubens Opera (neon) set of 14 colors. They're all beautiful but don't always show up how I want them to. Going against the purists, I started mixing in white with some of these colors; especially when using my black Stonehenge paper and OH MY GOODNESS what a difference. It took me from frustrated (which is code for I wasn't doing watercolor correctly I suppose) to actually enjoying myself very quickly. I understand, I think, that gouache isn't just white paint added to watercolor, so I'm here on your channel to get a better understanding of what it is, how to do it and how I can incorporate into my need to create pretty (or scary!) things. ♥ Thank you for your video! :)
I love the multi floral piece you did on the dark blue background.It’s really beautiful.I am seriously contemplating getting some gouache ,before trying acrylics.These seem like a lot of fun to use and I do like the way you can just lay light or dark onto the previous colour.Thank you for showing how easy it is without all the science 🥰
Ok, Ellen, you convinced me! My body needs a break from gardening, so I’ll bust out the gouache this weekend. Thank you! Your little flowers are beautiful!!
I totally agree! Gouache is so immediate and flexible, rewettable - and the list goes on and on. Holbein is my favorite brand and never looks chalky, just a wonderful product. I can't use m. graham in my area as it goes to mold way too easily in the tropics. I love love love your art! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passions!
Have you tried Holbein Acrylic Gouache? I was trained with gouache as an illustrator. I discovered Holbein Acrylic Gouache about 5 years ago. You can layer this paint without pulling up colors underneath. I love the consistency of these paints. You can layer them light on dark colors or dark on light colors. They dry with a flat finish.
Thanks Ellen! I have been playing with Acrylic since COVID lock down. I can paint! well kinda 🤭 I love watercolor, so recently been trying my hand at that. So much out there! It's been hard for me to get on board with loose and abstract (I'm trying!) Just bought Gouache and well well, seems like a happy medium! (Pun intended) Thanks for your tutorials. You do an awesome job, and keep it chill.
. I have never used gouache paint but it will be my next purchase. I didn't know it came in colors.Have only seen white used to highlights. Thanks for all your tutorials. I learn a lot from you.
I'm new to art, so I've been trying lots of materials, and gouache is possibly my favourite so far. Very versatile, as you say, and combined with watercolour, even more so.
This is so awesome ! I’ve just started watercolor painting this past winter. Really taken me awhile to get use to it because I’ve always painted in acrylic & oil . I’ve fell in love with it ! I was so excited to see a tutorial about Gauche !! I know I’d love this !! Thank you so much for sharing this . Thanks so much from Tennessee ❣️
I’ve been using oil paints and acrylics for years but why I haven’t used gouache beats me. I am just learning to use gouache and it’s challenging but it’s versatility is really fantastic. Really enjoyed your video , thank you.
Oh my goodness 🥰 So simply beautiful! I bought a box of Himi guache and now I'm tempted to put my brush to work. You made it so simple and beautiful. Thank you for teaching your way of laying this medium. 🥰
Your painting is VERY beautiful! I am not watching much RUclips, for a year now due to health issues. I was going to start watercolouring but needed a special medical grade desk I couldnt afford. I have severe spinal degenerative disease. Now I have bought the table, which also has a part that lifts up like a large easel and my watercolour paints are on their way in a week or two. I will start to try both...
I'm new to watercolors and have done a few pieces, but after a couple of videos on gouache, I think I'm a gouache kind of girl. It seems more forgiving, and you can still use it like watercolors.
Great video! I agree, that gouache is so underrated. I love how it's drying fast, but also rewets easily, so is reworkable if needed. It's my second favourite medium right now. :)
I tried Gouaches while on Holliday and yep it’s a very interesting and fast drawing medium specially if working out side plain air painting situation it’s ideal. Thanks for the tutorial it’s great to learn from someone who’s been working with it.
I hope you do more videos using gouache. I struggle to find finished paintings using gouache . It would be interesting to see art in this medium at museums.
First off I love your tutorials! I have been relearning how to use watercolors, since it had been 30 yrs since I had done any. I recently bought a set of gouache paints and thought I should learn a little more before I start. It has been 30 plus years since I used gouache in art school, but only used it in composition class. I am looking forward to painting with them and appreciate this video so much! Thank you for spending your time to help teach other artists!
I just saw your channel today and I’m so happy I did. I bought gouache a couple of years ago when I was just starting out in watercolor. But I lacked the knowledge of how to use it and did not have much luck. I gave up and set it aside. With your instruction I’m really excited about trying it again. Thanks so much.
Absolutely lovely, have had gouache in studio for years, never used it, just looked at it, now I think it’s time to look at it in a new way, thank you for an excellent tutorial, very informative, so clear to understand, have liked and subscribed, thank you Mike UK
LOVE this illustration!!! Thanks for highlighting gouache! I am really liking it! It feels natural coming from acrylics and feels a little easier than watercolors. Definitely would love more tutorials!
SO glad I found you and this video, Ellen. Fun and fascinating to watch your flowerscape take shape. I'm a frustrated watercolor newbie, contemplating what seem like the high quality, very reasonably priced Turner Acryla Gouache sets. Wondering if I'm just avoiding one learning curve to land with another very similar one. However...something about Gouache feels more fun, more suited to happy accidents and experimentation. Invite anyone to share their experiences....
I love your videos! You make making art look so easy! I've been watching your videos for 6 years and this is the first time I've actually seen you in the video! What a treat! Now I can finally put a face with your voice! Yay! Thank you for helping all of us learn to make beautiful art!

Congratulations for passing the exam!
You make this look so easy. I’ve watched other videos on gouache, but this is the best for newbies to gouache.
Congrats on passing the bar. Thats very hard to do! Your family must be very proud.

❤ i haven't used gouache before but i have done acrylic painting. Having fun with watercolor and now , this. I like this and im excited to use it . Beautiful ❤️ Thank you Ellen 😊
I've shifted from acrylic to watercolor too. I'll do both but watercolor has its own beauty too, ya know?
I absolutely love gouache and feel that it is so underrated. Thanks for your enthusiasm! I’m hoping for more of your gouache tutorials.
Your intuition is what makes your taps work. Mine are cute, but not the same. I enjoyed watching and learning.

That’s beautiful. I’ve only painted with watercolor
oh you must try it!
I simply love this one gouache is something I haven't tried but certainly intend to now thank you.
I agree. Personally, I always feel comfortable using Gouache. watercolor is a high-maintenance medium. while gouache is this easy-going medium
you introduced me to gouache awhile ago, so i didn't thiink i needed this video. i finally watched it and learned so much. Thanks again
I love gouache. I’ve used a few brands and there’s nothing like the dreamy consistency and coverage of the Holbein.
I think it is just great, I had no idea. Thank you.
I just started using guoache and I love it like watercolor
I’ve been using oil paints and acrylics for years but why I haven’t used gouache beats me. I am just learning to use gouache and it’s challenging but it’s versatility is really fantastic. Really enjoyed your video , thank you.
