3 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Painting with Gouache

Thank youuu for the tips. I am going to buy gouche this year for my birthdayyyy do really needed thiss☺️🫶

❤❤❤❤

crap. Been using my hard well water on mine and didn’t really think about it. Not too late though? Will a bottled water work?

your paint is so clean mine looks like a disaster

How do I make my himi gouache more spreadeable bc I could barely spread mine😓

Jokes aside, Sound of Freedom is quite good. Yes, subject matter is heavy, but the fact even these two know it as "QAnon movie" tells me mainstream media did their job well and some people will dismiss it even before watching the film.

Why distilled water though? Nice tips

It seems like your later layers that are thick with less water spread so easy. How?? Mine don't want to spread. Is the trick just use tons of gouache?

First tip is kinda not supposed to be there since its useless for people who dont have or dont plan to have himi gouache...

Tip: if your pallette got mold, use a special spray can made by the same company made this type of gouache, Miya. It written in Chinese so i dont know the name, just google something like Miya spray can moldy, about 2 3 bucks. Works great for me.

Thank you soooo much!

How do you prevent mold???

I've been using tap water on mine for 3 years and it's still looking great

why distilled water? thinking of purchasing a himi pallet and need to learn all I can!

I use tap water. No mold. But I don't live in a humid place. If people are concerned about mold add alcohol to your water spray bottle. Wipe your paint pallet down with alcohol.

I just got gauche today since it’s my bday tyy

Many people avoid this problem by purchasing the colors that are used a lot (white usually) in tube form and capping the tube asap after you've used it. Then you just need to keep the palette clean. Cover with saran wrap and place in the refrigerator.

Can't use Normal mineral water?

Why diatilled water only????

I never used distilled water ever, I had the exact same set. I stock it for a year and it was super okay, it actually look really pretty. I also live in a very humid country and I don't have ac... I don't understand the distilled water ONLY... it's getting annoying

Song please?
