    I have to say you are one of my top 5 RUclipsrs. I have been suffering through some sort of autoimmune issue that still is not diagnosed after 4 1/2 years. Well, I didn’t believe fibromyalgia diagnosis….to me I didn’t fit. Who knew I would need three different Neuro specialties to get where I am today. Now I’m waiting 6 long weeks until I see MG Univ of Md experts. I knew I was a rare woman! On the couch unable to move today after art day yesterday….appt can’t come quick enough. Apparently, no one cancels or I’m far down the list.

      @@BeginnersMind-ArtMind No, I have not unless it is in round 1 and round 2 of the 20 vials of blood tests each time. I will look it up. Vasculitis, Multiple sclerosis, Lupus, lime, Multiple myeloma, Myasthenia Gravis, etc. I just recently went back to all the doctors pleading for help (as in a diagnosis) and my last visit was my Nuero and before he heard me (same office as primary care I just saw) he thinks I have Seronegative Myasthenia Gravis. When I tested negative last year, I put it out of my mind and told other docs I was negative. Well, apparently you can test negative because they are not done finding all the ways they can test blood. So, I’m seeing the experts in the Nuero Muscular department in the only hospital near me that employs them, but have to wait six more weeks. I refreshed my memory of the symptoms and darn….i have almost all of the symptoms and am getting progressively worse! I’ve taken prednisone in the past to get out of a terrible flare and ended up on it for over a year. It delayed an actual diagnosis :). I’m ready to cry uncle and take it again, but I need to make it to this appointment. I had a double lumbar fusion with a complication that disabled me enough…this is the thing that will break me mentally if it goes on any longer. My therapist LOVES that I use art and art journaling as a hobby. In this past year, I have slowly been getting less and less time feeling good enough to put pen to paper. Learning on RUclips has been my savior when I can’t physically create. I have slowly been making an “art nest” bag for when I can’t make it to my studio and feel well enough to sit up. Lately, I have had the desire to sketch and paint plein air. All of your videos lately have caught my attention for sure. Thank you so much for sharing your art life and sharing your struggle to create some days. I’m more open about my medical struggles and can understand your need to keep things private from the public, etc.

    Even before you did your demo, I didn’t think cracking in dried gouache would make much difference to it’s usability and quality. But it’s nice to know about M. Graham not cracking at all.

    • @BeginnersMind-ArtMind
      @BeginnersMind-ArtMind  Год назад +1

      The reason I was concerned with it is because I have a lot of trouble with my Daniel Smith watercolors cracking and actually falling out of my palette. When I lifted up my watercolor palette to show it in the beginning of the video I discovered later that the ultramarine blue had fallen out and gotten lost in the grass. So far even the gouache color that has cracks hasn’t fallen out. 🤗

    Art Tool Kit. Wish shipping costs were more doable to Belgium, keep checking every once in a while but it’s either splurge on items and have the one time shipping costs or loose my money on shipping fees. Also bit scared of what customs would add to that. So I keep hoping they do so well that they will have a representative in Europe. With all those clever products they’re definitely on the right track.
    I so want to try gouache, only have the white. Still deciding whether I’ll get a set of Gouache or make my own by mixing regular good quality watercolor paint with the white gouache. I absolutely love the colors you’ve chosen. They go well together, so much potential!

    Art toolkit ❤. I have been planning to choose colours for a dried gouache palette for a while now. As usual, my options overwhelm me so I haven’t done it yet 😂. I have both an empty pocket and folio palette by Art Toolkit and an empty pocket painter palette. My empty folio palette has 15 square pans and I thought that might be nice for a selection of gouache. I’m leaning towards a palette with fewer colours and more mixing. Between now and when I actually put it together, I could change my mind! Enjoyed seeing your choices!

    Art tool kit. Linda- I've used M Graham ( and others eventually) in dry palette for many years with no ill-effects. I don't use any additives and just either spritz lightly or just use damp brush to reactivate. Occasionally as I use majello and equivalent in the field which has a lot of open air and space for mixing- and through jostling and throwing in all directions around a few little pieces break off. I just throw them back or make new mixes with small pieces.
    in studio I leave them dry in a number of palettes and mixing dishes. I rarely clean the palettes and just reuse the interesting mixes. The colors rejuvenate beautifully forever.

When I compared dried pans with the medium and without the medium, the ones with the medium definitely re-wet easier. I’m not sure how much I am liking it in my wet gouache palette, I may have used too much but I feel like it made my wet gouache sticky. Next time I refill a pan in my wet palette I’m going to try just using one drop and comparing with and without it. Definitely having fun experimenting with a different scenarios.

    Linda, wanted to update you on my dry gouache palette. I had mold develop in mine after a few days after using it. I seemed to have solved the problem by spritzing them with clove bud oil and water in a tiny spray bottle. I bought cool pen sized spray bottles on Amazon so I keep this mixture with my dry gouache palette in my plein air bag. Hope this helps 😊 hugs from Texas where it's already in the 80s! I can't believe all that snow piled up at your house!!!

      Hi Melissa, I have a few videos on my channel where I talk about solving mold issues with Gouache palettes. Especially for people who choose not to use clove bud oil like myself. My vinegar and distilled water recipe is in quite a few of my Plein air and gouache videos. Adding the blending medium to the dry gouache palette is supposed to prevent mold but this is the first time I’ve tested it out instead of using my regular anti-mold recipe. I will update on whether it’s successful or not in an upcoming video. There are too many videos where I talk about preventing more to post the links here but if you go to my channel you should be able to find them easily enough.

      What brand are you using? I had some serious issues when I first started with gouache and went with Arteza. No matter what I did, I couldn't keep them in a palette, wet or dry. Finally gave up and they are sitting in their tubes. I only use the metallic and iridescent colors from time to time now because they really are nice. But it's definitely only out of the tube. I am trying M. Graham now and doing my best to keep them misted with clove oil and use them frequently.

      I use M Graham, Holbein and Senex. I have a few videos where I show how I keep my gouache palettes mold free using a very diluted mixture of white distilled vinegar and distilled water. The clove oil did not work for me But with the other mixture I use I’ve never had a single issue with mold.

      I had read about M Graham gouache fermenting in the tubes but I had never had it happen. The other day when I was loading the pallet I noticed a tube that had blown way up like a balloon. It was mostly filled with air and just a little bit of paint but it was all blown up. When I squeezed out the paint it was kind of chunky like cottage cheese and had curdled. It does still seem to work though.
