peacelrose this is probably a late response but if you are unsure what paper to use I can recommend the (I think it‘s called) Selection Block by Hahnemühle. It has 12 different sheets of paper with different types of texture and ..grams (sorry I forgot the word lol I think it was from 200-600) so you can try out which paper you like best (-: Hope this helped
Any tips for acrylic? I absolutely can't paint with acrylic. Its too quick drying and doesn't blend. I love gouache and use it pretty well but i cant paint with acrylic.
It always amazes me how some artists pick up a brush and they somehow KNOW where the color is supposed to go, like look how she paints the skin. While I'm here doing a billion layers of light washes and still ends up with a clown the moment I add the blushes
I’ve been painting with acrylic for almost 2 years now without experimenting with other painting mediums. I recently found a gouache set that my sister never used, so I’ve decided to try it out... wish me luck
I cant believe that they never taught us Gouache at SCAD when it is so versatile. I did not want to head to digital painting, but loved the aesthetic and this seems very similar. Gouache seems so modern and contemporary. Thank you for posting this.
This was great Arleesha! I'm not a beginner, but always love hearing tips and process guidance articulated well. I'm on the other end of the gouache spectrum. I treat it as transparent as I can and add opacity only where I need it but I totally get and appreciate the chunky painterly approach too. Oh and this: "Just keep trying! Allow your self to make dozens and dozens of bad art pieces. Quantity is so important." YES! Wisdom you have young Jedi!
Omfg XD I took ur Skillshare class and then went on RUclips to find some more help and I was sitting here all like “Hmmmmm... That box of gouache looks really familiar. So does that pallet. Oh and that on- oh my god”
Watching this makes me feel better about getting started. I recently got my hands on some gouache but was to nervous about messing up So they've been sitting on my desk for the past month :\\
I got my first gouache set 2 years ago for a birthday present and have loved them since. At the time I had only heard of gouache maybe 2 times before and instead of watching tutorials I just hopped right in. I've never had trouble with dry or wet gouache and I think it's one of my favorites because of how it can be opaque or transparent and it's a rlly interesting texture! It's a great paint and I totally recommend!!
I really love your painting at 12:40 because every portrait I paint, the person never has any facial features aside from completely blacked out eyes due to personal feelings and anger that I have. So I just really loved that one
Hi, I’m 15 and I am French, and you inspire me everyday day to improve at painting! Gouache scares me a lot, but this video made me realize that it could be fun to play with! Have a nice day :)💜
Your tip about the predictability of watered down gouache as opposed to watercolor is so spot on!! Thank you! I never realized that, consciously, but I guess I kinda suspected it. Oh, not related, but your voice is so pretty, love to hear your videos, too!
Thank you so much! I just bought my first gouache paints after working in watercolour for years. I'm really excited to learn to use them, and this was really helpful. By the way - your work is STUNNING. Your use of colours is blowing my mind (those sketchbook studies?! 😱)
Thank you so much for this video, I was struggling a lot and not feeling well and honestly your kind tips really made me feel better and more hopeful about my future use of Goauche.
I love gouache! I’ve recently started using it and for me it is absolutely the perfect medium. I love how versatile it is and the results blow me away.
Did you mean to wright “another video that fails to not fill me with joy”? It first seemed like you were hating then I read the second sentence and understood what you meant.
You are honestly not just saying this to be nice but your art and channel is the only one on RUclips that inspires me draw. I’m just in awe over your art and painting techniques it’s just amazing to me. I’m 15 and I just ordered gouache the other day the “Jelly” one and I’m so excited to paint with it 💕💕💕
Thanks so much for posting. I’ve learnt more in this video than all the other RUclips videos on gouache. I will definitely sign up for your Skillshare class.
I love your tiny painting! I also love your overall manner when speaking. I'm about to try out gouache for the first time, so thanks very much for this. Subscribed!
I just got my first guache set yesterday, so I'm watching this late. :) But what you said about doing lots and lots of drawings pinged with me. I'm a writer in my day job, and I just recently told a bunch of students that you learn a *lot* more by writing six stories than you do by writing one story and rewriting it five times. Early stage writers (and a lot of more experienced writers who should know better) agonize over single stories for ages and ages. I guess it's good(? LOL!) to know that it's not only writers who have that problem. :) But yes, more new work is much better than lots and lots of reworking.
YES FINALLY!! someone will do a good review on the HIMI gouache. I have been trying to find a good review for months, that was not from a beginner or not sponsored.
My first experience with gouache was actually great haha. I dunno how I manage to not hate my first painting with gouache! But I really love it now, even though I don't use it that much. I'm still trying to get better at drawing in general so that's why I didn't touch gouache for a while, but this year I've finally decided I'm going to just give it a go! This video was really helpful, I need to stop trying to make perfect paintings and just make bad things!
I appreciate your non-music background, so I can keep my own music playing while I watch. (Usually I mute videos that have music playing and read the captions.) Great point about pushing through that the feeling that it gets messy. I have been learning gouache, and I noticed that happening too.
I really wanted to take the time to say that this video not only helped me with some amazing tips, but it also helped built my confidence with my new gouache pallet and I’m really happy I watched this video!😊❤️
You are amazing! I have 3 years old child and I can't find time to paint or discover new mediums. I really hope that in the future I'll be able to find time to learn new techniques and continue with my hobbies and interests. Big hello from Serbia. 🙂
I'm really looking forward to your review of the MIYA/HIMI gouache set. I've been looking at it for awhile (it seems cute and convenient) but there's very little information on it. So I've been going back and forth between the Arteza gouache or MIYA. Do you think one is significantly better?
Oof, that's a hard call. I can't summarize everything right now, but I can say that I've had more fun with the MIYA/HIMI set than I did with the Arteza gouache. :]
I don't have the arteza guache but I just recieved the miya himi pallet after ordering it on my birthday. I didn't know that it was shipped from china so it took like 15 ish days to get to america. I'm really enjoying the pallet so far and I've already taken it to my local coffee shop and painted there, it's not too heavy but it is kind of an awkward medium between big and compact. It is a pretty good quality and I definitely recommend it because you get a big bang for your buck. Sorry for the huge paragraph
Thank you for the video! I really love watching you work in opaque mediums, the painterly style you have is so nice :) I started with opaque mediums like acrylic and gouache, but turned to watercolors to let go of perfectionism. With opaque mediums, I could never stop fiddling with my work, because you can just keep layering without consequence. You don't really get that option with watercolors, you have to know when to stop. I'm still trying to get the hang of it. Gouache is much more natural for me, but it's very difficult for me to loosen up with it.
For me the delicate quality of gouache makes it challenging to paint loosely with it, so I feel you! I think what has helped me is doing tons of layers, then you can build up the marks.
Love the noses! I just did my first gouache painting! had no clue what I was doing. I found the contrast thing to be very true and the values. But consistency was my biggest struggle! I mainly work with watercolor so gouache was a bit strange and not knowing how thick or thin it was suppose to be but in the end my portrait turned out ok! I think I ended up going back and forth thin thick thin. On my swatch sampling I liked the more watercolor effects than the opaque. I will have to see if you have a video on how to use gouache with watercolor?! I love Chris Hong!!
I really enjoy watching others teach beginners! I think you do a wonderful job focusing attention and conveying your ideas to the viewers. I use gouache from tubes too. I prefer watercolor paints and re-wetting gouache is never as enjoyable for me. I used it when I had to for work but I enjoy watercolor painting much more. Your a lovely instructor and I want to thank you for your enjoyable content!
I'm not even working on gouache right now, but I couldn't resist watching a video of yours 😂💞 Always so exciting to see your pieces transform with each layer! So loose, effortless, and stunning. ☺
SO GOOD! Watched this 3X. Lost the contrast in a gouache painting today. Tomorrow I'll go in and get it back! Your Top 5 Gouache Tips are pure gold. Following you now on IG, too. Thanks!
Awe you are so reassuring🥰thanks for the great video! I just found out about guache, I love acrylic and watercolour, so I'm sooooooo excited to try it! You do great work ❤
Great video, watching this demo process reminds me of watching Bob Ross a bit where u see him do something that looks off but then he makes it all work in the end. I guess its exactly what u pointed out with the Messy phase of gouache painting, I've definitely experienced it. But as you said you gotta keep trucking and redefine the contrasts and it'll hopefully come together. Thanks for the tips!!
How do you prevent mold? And do you put the paint out on a palette or do you dip your brush directly into the jars? If you dip it in, how do you prevent color contamination?
Pendlera After An example: you want to paint a rose and you want the colour to be a pastel one. Pick up some red, put it on the pallete, then rinse your paintbrush in water, then pick up the white.
Thank youuuuu, I needed this video on gouache so badly! Do more please, gouache is such a difficult medium to handle. Thank you for your work, you are great!
Such a great video, thanks for these tips. I feel like I've learned so much just from watching your flow and layering. Thank you so much for posting it!
Awe. I really love your videos maam. You always motivate me to do more and practice more because I just love art. It makes all my fears and demons away. Your videos really help me a lot to keep moving and embrace my mistakes and to try harder and explre more. I love how you motivate us to be better in what we love. Thank you for inspiring me maam.
Oh my, thank you so much. I was sort of putting off trying to learn gouache because my first go around with it was so frustrating. This video gave me the advice I needed to try again and it certainly sparked my creativity! Thank you!
I like to start my watercolors first and then mix gouache into them in certain areas to give it an impressionistic look. Painted in watercolors for several years, went to oils for 10 and then into acrylics for 5 or so and now use gouache and watercolors. They’re all fun!
This has been SO INCREDIBLY helpful. THANK YOU! Thank you so very much. I really appreciate this, I've been playing around with gouache for the last few months on and off, and while I absolutely love it, I've been a bit frustrated coming from an oil painting background, but ALL of your tips are super helpful. I found myself going "ohhhhh!!!!!! I seeeeeee!" a lot! so, again, thank you! PS. you've got such a soothing and calming voice! It's very nice to listen to! Reminds me of Georgia Hardstark from one of my all time favorite podcasts, 'My Favorite Murder'.
thank you so much for this! I just tried my gouache colors for the first time yesterday night and I felt so frustrated and kinda lost. This really helped me, I took notes and gonna try again later ;)
When i first started with gouache, people had different opinions and painting styles. What i related to as a painter who enjoys acrylic, i just thought of working with acrylic, a damp watercolor brush, laying down colors then blending with water. It works for me.
In love with your style. You make it to seem so easy... I'm about buying my first gouache colors. Which ones would you reccomend me? I don't think I can afford a very large or expensive palette. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the nice video. The only thing I wonder about is the way you hold your brush with the thumb sort of locking the other fingers and hiding the brushstroke. I wonder if this is a way that artists in the USA learn to hold their brushes since I have seen it in so many american painting videos? It looks very cramped and uncomfortable, but it apparently works since many use it. No critic, I am just curious!
I'm a watercolor artist trying to get a grip on gouache as I purchased a very pretty set recently and I get so frustrated as well loool, thank you so much for this! Watercolor wasn't easy at all either and I know I gotta learn again.
Super helpful as I have still been just dipping my toes into gouache and want to more confidentially work with the medium. I'm definitely more used to the dried palettes and can understand how using them after they've dried can be harder to gauge for mixing/water ratios. Now that you are more accustom with gouache do you find pre poured palettes to be easier to use or do you still work predominantly fresh out of tube? I've also seen quite a lot of artists who use flat or angled brushes with gouche and wondered if that is useful to copy when starting. I think a big issue I've had was trying to use my normal, very soft, round watercolor brushes which seem to be harder to control with gouache.
So excited for this video! 🤗 These are amazing tips! Especially using synthetic brushes. Water control is the main thang about gouache in my opinion. Fancy watercolor brushes might even do more harm than good with gouache! I’ve thought the same darn thing! And gouache works well on so many kinds of paper. As long as it’s not thin. There aren’t the same issues of needing pigment to bloom exactly right as with watercolor. With gouache you just slap it on. I actually find it easier to use dried (rewet) paint but I have a ton of little idiosyncrasies about how I rewet it that would be so hard to explain and I wouldn’t have been able to do it that way a year ago.
At first it never occurred to me to keep old colors on a palette and then to rewet them, you can actually save time because you can save good colors you liked!
That’s was super fun to watch and very informative. THANK YOU! would love just watching you paint and talk about whatever is on your mind lol sort of like a Paint With Me 🦋
My dad and I accidentally bought gouache instead of acrylic. I was so afraid because I don’t know Jack about gouache and thought my project was gonna be ruined. Thank you so much! This helped my nerves a lot! I love the way the opacity looks elegantly messy, I’d love to make that my style
Thank you so much you gave motivation to retry ! I ll be following your tips and I hope that with your advice and my practice I will get cool results !
Hello Arleebean. Does it matter whit witch colour you sketch you,re under painting? I am a beginner whit gouache. I love you,re video. You explaned it so calm and clearly.
I needed to hear this rn. I was feeling down about my ruined piece that i was about to throw into trash but i willed myself to continue after hearing this
Hey nice! It's okay for pieces to go wrong sometimes, all part of learning either how a medium works or how to fix issues that may come up later, and it's also okay to stop if your not vibein w/it
Thanks for this video, it was really helpful! I'm all new to gouache, but watching you work with it is almost therapeuthic :) Now I cant wait to paint!

1. Use fresh paint.
2. Use a limited palette.

4. Adjust consistency from thin to thick (start like watercolor)
Bonus #1. Cover larger areas first.
5. Focus on contrast (when you see it's losing its shape)
Bonus #2. If your values are good, you can go crazy with the colors.
Bonus #3. *JUST KEEP TRYING*
Bonus #4. Try using different types of paper.
thanks alot, i like knowing all the tips and then watching the video im impatient like that 😂
What’s the best paper to use?
What are the names of the colors or how to know how to pick the exact shade for the yellow, red and blue?
peacelrose this is probably a late response but if you are unsure what paper to use I can recommend the (I think it‘s called) Selection Block by Hahnemühle. It has 12 different sheets of paper with different types of texture and ..grams (sorry I forgot the word lol I think it was from 200-600) so you can try out which paper you like best (-: Hope this helped

I wish I had discovered gouache before watercolour. I am struggling with WC especially after learning to paint in acrylic . Love your style.
I started with WC and then did Acrylic and then went back to WC and i couldn't like it anymore! Love gouache as it's the perfect in between
im the opposite aha
im the opposite. i'm gonna try gouache cuz it sounds like its perfect for me but i cant afford it rn :(

She's probably been painting for a whole lot longer than you have, so use it as a goal! Practice practice practice
I can relate
I felt that XD i cant for the life of me mix a good skin tone. it will either be way to bright or unnatural looking, or way too dull and grey
Practice makes Progress :)
I literally wasted half of a sketchbooks paper trying to get it to work and it…just doesn’t. No matter how hard I try. It makes me sad
Tips start at 1:48 if anyone's interested in jumping straight to them :)

I like to start my watercolors first and then mix gouache into them in certain areas to give it an impressionistic look. Painted in watercolors for several years, went to oils for 10 and then into acrylics for 5 or so and now use gouache and watercolors. They’re all fun!
this is my first time watching your videos and those bird noises really spooked me
so glad i found this!!! I've been banging my head against my canvas all day getting rly stressed with my gouaches, and this is really helpful!
This has been SO INCREDIBLY helpful. THANK YOU! Thank you so very much. I really appreciate this, I've been playing around with gouache for the last few months on and off, and while I absolutely love it, I've been a bit frustrated coming from an oil painting background, but ALL of your tips are super helpful. I found myself going "ohhhhh!!!!!! I seeeeeee!" a lot! so, again, thank you!
PS. you've got such a soothing and calming voice! It's very nice to listen to! Reminds me of Georgia Hardstark from one of my all time favorite podcasts, 'My Favorite Murder'.
thank you so much for this! I just tried my gouache colors for the first time yesterday night and I felt so frustrated and kinda lost. This really helped me, I took notes and gonna try again later ;)
I'm planning to start my journey with gouache as my medium. This is really helpful and inspiring.
this video made me feel better. thank you ❤
Great! Trying my hand at gouache. This video was very helpful.
I'm new to gouache and this is sooo helpful, thank you for posting.......love watching your painted face take shape! You're so talented! :)
This video is actually so helpful!!! Can't wait to check your skillshare class :D

When i first started with gouache, people had different opinions and painting styles. What i related to as a painter who enjoys acrylic, i just thought of working with acrylic, a damp watercolor brush, laying down colors then blending with water. It works for me.
Enjoyed this so much. Just bought a set of winsor and newton gouche....haven't cracked it open yet🙊
In love with your style. You make it to seem so easy... I'm about buying my first gouache colors. Which ones would you reccomend me? I don't think I can afford a very large or expensive palette.
Thanks a lot!
Miya himi gouache
@@janabroflovski2572 Thanks, dear! 😊
@@mariateresa5380 no problem ❤
I have that same himi gouache. Was my first time using any kind of gouache. Still one of my favorites.
Thank you for the nice video. The only thing I wonder about is the way you hold your brush with the thumb sort of locking the other fingers and hiding the brushstroke. I wonder if this is a way that artists in the USA learn to hold their brushes since I have seen it in so many american painting videos? It looks very cramped and uncomfortable, but it apparently works since many use it. No critic, I am just curious!
I'm a watercolor artist trying to get a grip on gouache as I purchased a very pretty set recently and I get so frustrated as well loool, thank you so much for this! Watercolor wasn't easy at all either and I know I gotta learn again.
I really needed to hear that last tip. I appreciate your help so much
Super helpful as I have still been just dipping my toes into gouache and want to more confidentially work with the medium. I'm definitely more used to the dried palettes and can understand how using them after they've dried can be harder to gauge for mixing/water ratios. Now that you are more accustom with gouache do you find pre poured palettes to be easier to use or do you still work predominantly fresh out of tube? I've also seen quite a lot of artists who use flat or angled brushes with gouche and wondered if that is useful to copy when starting. I think a big issue I've had was trying to use my normal, very soft, round watercolor brushes which seem to be harder to control with gouache.
This is an excellent video! I'm just starting with gouache coming from a watercolor background, so I found your tips and experience very helpful.
So excited for this video! 🤗 These are amazing tips! Especially using synthetic brushes. Water control is the main thang about gouache in my opinion. Fancy watercolor brushes might even do more harm than good with gouache! I’ve thought the same darn thing! And gouache works well on so many kinds of paper. As long as it’s not thin. There aren’t the same issues of needing pigment to bloom exactly right as with watercolor. With gouache you just slap it on. I actually find it easier to use dried (rewet) paint but I have a ton of little idiosyncrasies about how I rewet it that would be so hard to explain and I wouldn’t have been able to do it that way a year ago.
At first it never occurred to me to keep old colors on a palette and then to rewet them, you can actually save time because you can save good colors you liked!
Excellent video! Especially on the messy points of using gouache. Truth be told, I find myself in those moments with most paints-except Watercolors.
That’s was super fun to watch and very informative. THANK YOU! would love just watching you paint and talk about whatever is on your mind lol sort of like a Paint With Me 🦋
My dad and I accidentally bought gouache instead of acrylic. I was so afraid because I don’t know Jack about gouache and thought my project was gonna be ruined. Thank you so much! This helped my nerves a lot! I love the way the opacity looks elegantly messy, I’d love to make that my style
I love your commentary and music mix. Very instructive
Oh my gawd so calming i fell asleep
someone should submit this to the accidental ASMR channel

This was very helpful, thank you!
Hello Arleebean. Does it matter whit witch colour you sketch you,re under painting? I am a beginner whit gouache. I love you,re video. You explaned it so calm and clearly.
I needed to hear this rn. I was feeling down about my ruined piece that i was about to throw into trash but i willed myself to continue after hearing this
Hey nice! It's okay for pieces to go wrong sometimes, all part of learning either how a medium works or how to fix issues that may come up later, and it's also okay to stop if your not vibein w/it
