tip: the thing about jelly gouache is when it dries out you can reactivate it with water. But every so often while your painting you should spray the paints with water to keep them moist. oops I just realized you mentioned that, but I said that because you could've reactivated the paint on the lids.
they have a mist moisturizer spray to avoid molding and hardening of the paint. It's not required, water works just as well but the spray easily puts the hardened gouache to their jelly state.
@@luna-il2pwmine didn't go mouldy. keep spraying them with water before and after. I've seen an artist named daixykaren that she puts the cups at a very watery state and it still works, it dries easily when its very windy. Also use distilled water i guess for no contaminants or cover it with a lid after getting your colors
I told my mom that I wanted gouache, so I asked if I could use my money and then she’ll pay for the shipment. Then she told me: “You already have a lot of art supplies. What’s the difference in getting these” I wish I could tell her that the ones I have are totally different mediums. Update: thanks for the likes and tips! My mom finally bought me one 🥳❤️
Why can't you tell her that? Explain to her what it means and the differences it makes. Just like a jacket, a sweater and a shirt are all clothes but they are used for different things art mediums are the same and different too
If she likes to cook, tell her it's like trying to make spaghetti sauce with ketchup instead of tomato sauce or tomatoes. Sure, ketchup is made with tomatoes and they're both food, but they are not used for the same thing and the results would be drastically different.
But it’s your money. She shouldn’t say that when she doesn’t know art. Try to talk to her about it and say that I know what it is and it’s my money. Maybe that’ll work.
I got the 18 set of himi gouache a year or two ago and they're still perfect! at some stage I left them for a few months so the tops kinda dried out but I went and mixed each colour with a pallete knife, sprayed some water and they were all good! just make sure to spray them with water over half hour or so when your painting with them, just helps them stay creamy. Considering buying either this 24 set just for all the extra pastels lol, they look so cute, also love the paintings! Thanks for the tip about pencil on gouache btw, think I'll start doing that from now on :))
Thanks for your comments I’m interested how these sets are 3 years later . I’m finally going to try them I found a 52 set it looks massive but will be perfect for studio might need it’s own table lol 😂
On eBay they have two listings fir the 52 sets one is 94 and the other is 150 aud . The person selling the 94 set sent me an offer for 80 still so expensive
Dear Gretlusky, I actually didn’t write this up until now, but I discovered Gouache all thanks to you. The idea of drawing *Studio Ghibli* scenes with these bright, opaque colors is the BEST! And I bought this exact set for the job a while ago- I still need to get used to it, as the colors felt strange to use at first, but I just want to thank you for everything! Totoro, his blue and white friend plus the cat from Kikis Little Delivery Service were my first motifs! You inspire all of us, but especially us who are artists too! So thank you, you irreplaceable you! (rhyme? ;D)
Gret, como siempre haciendo cosa maravillosas! tengo el set de 12 y hace tiempo no lo uso, ver este video me inspiró mucho, ahora quiero intentar hacer un estudio de fondos también!!
I just got some of these after hearing other RUclipsrs and online friends rave about them. I haven't don't much with them yet, just a few small doodles to see how they work, I managed to get a really good deal of a massive bundle with this same set of paint. I haven't been sure what to paint with them yet but I love the idea of studio Ghibli, I haven't watched any in ages, this was such a ramble lol
This video was great!! I enjoyed not only learning about gouache in general and the set itself, but also getting to see it in action with multiple examples! really made me excited to try out this medium!
This is my first time watching one of your videos, and I subscribed right away. Your video style is so very relaxing. I must agree with you about the Miya Himi Gouache paint. It is wonderfully vibrant, with so much paint that it allows you to experiment with mixing colours without the fear of you wasting a lot of the paint. I love painting in gouache, I just love the creaminess of it, and the flat matt surface you get when it dries. I have only ever used watercolour up until my husband bought me this Himi gouache set two weeks ago, it's wonderful stuff and I'm completely hooked! God bless you and all those you love. Have a great day!
I used my jelly gouache twice and then it ended up in a bin with other art supplies, but I was really inspired this morning to do it again and they are all dried out. Rehydrating them is chaotic and my hands were covered in paint. But hopefully tomorrow when the ones I have to soak overnight have hydrated and I can mix them more, then I can paint something!
Actually the only difference between jelly gouache and tube gouache is just like, pan watercolors vs tube? Tube acrylics vs bottle? It's just what the gouache is in, tubes vs cutesie cups (leaving aside brand quality and all, that is, something like windsor and newton or holbein or somethings gonna be better quality, especially as himi is pretty cheap-still great tho)
Beautiful paintings! Thank you for this video… really helped me decide if I want jelly cups or not 💖. I’m wondering what paint set is the color swatches in your journal at the end of the video from??
Thank you for the review of your process opening this! I just got this set, and your commentary was super helpful in figuring out how to organize the paints and what to do with the lids!
I was first hesitating to buy this brand 😆 when I saw you purchased one, this what drives me to buy one for myself 😂. thank you for amazing artworks it inspires me so much. I'm a big fan all the way from Philippines 💖💖💖
main reason is they're used by art students w/c is why the colors are in one container, open and easy to dip and refillable. and they produce a lot of artworks that's why its cheap there since the company is mostly student grade but good quality.
@@mbae123 ooo yea i heard about that stuff too, thats why im sooo salty tho, feels like getting student grade paints at almost artist grade prices its so trendy rn and makes me feel FOMO, but i know i should just get local stuff, sighs~!
I made two different color swatches with my lids. One where I spread the paint with a brush and tho second I pressed the lid against paper and the slid the foil a little to the right and let them dry onto the paper bc I thought the lids had order info but I realize they are on back.
me who never tried gouache making me want to try aaa but i just did order alchohol markers and colored pencil cantwait to receive them eek ! i love how you painted its so opaque and vibrant !
hi there! what kind of paper is ur sketchbook? Or rather, what kind of paper do i need for gouache and other paint mediums? hihi im trying to learn painting and stuff so im new to this.. ^^
my mum wanted me to try out gouache and i honestly was worried at first when we got this set because i dont know anything much about gouache and i was scared this set would be like the terrible water colors at school and now i feel much better lol
I absolutely love everything you do, you have this magic touch. I want to be like you when I grow up :v (I'm probably older than you, tho) and I have a question... Where are you from? 🤔
I really like everything you do. Few weeks ago, i started drawing and i bought Ohuhu Markers because i saw your pieces of art with alcohol markers and i wanted to try. Now, i want to try jelly gouache, where can i find this set?
Awww I really hope you're enjoying your Ohuhu markers!! I saw these sets are available on Amazon or the Miyaarts website, depending on where you're from, hope you can snag one! Thanks for your kindness Alexandre! ❤️
The set is so heavy tho- , I knew it was large even with seeing the videos, but it just felt so big when I got it, amazing tho, filled with so much paint
I’m thinking if I buy these I’d just poke a hole in the center of each lid vs removing the lid completely to prevent making a mess out of the colors. Figured I’d mention it incase anyone else prefers to try it out themselves since every review on Amazon with pics, the palette looks like a mess lol
Hi! Those are really prettyy! :0 💖💕💞💗💘✨💕💞💖💝❤ I saw a lot of tools you used for your videos, and I loved the copic one and these ones too! I've been struggling on what to use when using an illustration board and wanted to ask, do copic and these work on illustration boards? I hope you can answer me ^^ Thank you for your time!
i was wondering if acrylagouavhr would make a good base layer then this jelly wash on top because i need to make a painting i promised to do for someone
Im just about to hit the "buy now" button in Shopee to get all my art supplies but i got a bit doubtful about the washi tape. Is there a specific type of washi tape that can be used or I can use any kind?
Main reason why i really want gouache paints:
To paint Ghibli scenes...
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING!!
THIS WAS LITERALLY THE REASON FOR ME TO BUY GOUACHE
same lmao i just got my himi gouache set in the mail
@@justmia_ JUST ORDERED MINE TODAY!!
Mine arrived just now ! But I haven’t opened it yet . I’m currently watching videos of it so I don’t mess it up while using it
i only peeled the corner of mine off and when i’m ready to use them i just scoop out what i need and put it on the pan to keep them sealed and fresh
that’s very smart
Ohhh yes I'm gonna do that when I get mine.
Thats a great idea, I'm sure that also helps keep things tidy (Ive seen paint transfer to the trays, not that it's a big deal)
Me tooooooo
The problem is that then You don't get to see all your colors

Sorry to bother you, l was wondering what the name of the spray might be called because l cant find it.thanks for reading
@@jordanrapoz679 himi miya moisturized mildew gouache spray is its name on the store
do these paints go mouldy easily? is there a way i can prevent this other than the spray?

@@mbae123 tysm!
I saranwrap mine before clipping the lid. its been helping keep the paints like putty/jelly. I purchased the set about 8 months ago.
Oh, that’s a good idea. Do you take a large piece and put it over all of them and then the lid or do you wrap them individually?
watching those colours get unpeeled and revealed brought me immense joy and i don't know why :,)
I have been wanting to get this set! I’m so excited to see what you have done with it! Your art is so gorgeous!!
Thanks so much Emily, I appreciate it!
I’ve wanted to get this set for sooo long and I finally purchased them yesterday! seeing this video is getting me so excited for when they arrive^^

I live in Asia and got the 18 cups palette for 13$. I really love this medium because it dries fast and I can do a lot of layers.

Hi. I usually scrape the excess paint from the lid using a knife & put if back into the same colour. Hope that helps 🙂
I lovee your voice, it's so soothing and soft, and your artwork is amazing!
You are so talented in every different medium it seems! This was a beautiful spread, I always look forward to your videos!
You're very kind! Thanks so much for the support! ❤️

Quedo hermoso 💙💚 gracias por el video. Btw ayer me llego Primer y lo terminé demasiado rápido 🤣 I want more no me canso de ver tu trabajo.
Gaby, muchísimas gracias!! Me alegra mucho que lo hayas disfrutado
in my experience with this set, when you don't use it after a while (while the lid is on) it will dry out.
Ppl be saying that their gouache set costs like 8-12 bucks but nuh uh uh....
It's 67 bucks in my country
wow I love watched😍❤️
Good job 👏 👍
Beautiful

New subscriber here - hi 👋 😊
Lovely painting 🌸
Tip:the opacity depends on how many water u have putted
are they still worth it if you own a large selection of poster paints in jars? I am scared those will dry on me too quick
Oh! You used the excess to swatch! I would definitely do it one by one as I open each one up because that's how much it hurts to waste them :P
