Wow! I have gouache... I am not afraid to use it now. Thank you so much! You have the most relaxing voice. You paint so beautifuly and fast! Sandy Stokes
Excellent tutorial. I have just bought gouache because my soft pastels aggravate my asthma. I find gouache challenging but think I am going to love it.
“Just a sketch,” she says. Just a beautiful painting, says me. Great demo of gouache!!!!!! I never tried it before, but I’m already planning a trip to the art store. I always get hooked on Ellen’s “sketchs”.
Now I know what two beautiful paintings I have are painted with...gouache! Thanks for solving the mystery. You are such a great teacher. Thanks for sharing your talent.
i bought some gouache a couple of months ago but didn't know where to start. This is a great tutorial that, for me, takes the fear out of trying. Thank you so much for doing all the youtubes. I've learned A LOT from you.
I got some gouache on your recommendation. It only came with a small tube of white ( Can you mix white acrylic with it to make shades lighter- until I can buy some more?) You're so right sweetie it's great! Thanks 😊 I love painting with you!!! Your the best teacher ever! Thanks for all you do sharing all the videos and mediums you do busy bee 🐝!
@@merium401it’s better to buy a bigger tube of white gouache. The texture of acrylic is different from gouache and might not give you the results you want.
I very much appreciate this tutorial Ellen, I didn’t know where to start with this medium and now I do! Thank you so much, you always make your paintings look so easy.
That was fun! I just got a small gouache set -- Carne d'Arch, just to try it. I have only recently started using watercolors but thought gouache might be fun to try. You make it look easy. I doubt I can make something that good to start.
Thanks Ellen! I wanted to try gauche but had no idea how to use it and therefore didn’t want to invest the $. Now I think I will definitely try it! As always, you make learning fun!
I did this one tonight. I used cold press watercolor paper. I had a hard time filling in the paper divots. Yes I can see I will need a big tube of white.😁
Lovely painting ...gouache another median I'm going love to explore my xmas list is growing....I'm becoming a supply item wanna be lol, a size 12 brush, derwert ink blocks ,derwert graphite paints, a ink pen and ink and tonal paper,now gouache.....lol.....glad xmas is six months away.... many blessing yo you and your family today..👩🎨🎨👋
Hi Ellen, I've been a long time subscriber of yours and I've recently invested in some Holbein gouache so I've been scrolling back through you extensive list of videos to find your gouache tutorials. Well, goodness me, my watch later TH-cam section has just massively grown because along with all the gouache tutorials you've done, I also found loads of watercolour ones I want to watch now too! I'm particularly interested in your Sketchbook series. Gouache looks like a really fun medium for a budding artist to play around with. Thank you. ❤
I absolutely loved that. I am so pleased with my results. Thanks for bringing that to us! One question, the gouache I was using (cheap) was having a ahrd time covering the paper, as in you could see the grain, and so I blended too much. I prefer the look you have. Do you think it's because the paints are cheap, I needed to water it down more, or the paper (watercolour) was too coarse? Thanks!
It'd be lovely to see you do more Gouache. It's a lovely medium. You do absolutely fantastic tutorials using Gouache and there really aren't that many TH-cam channels doing Gouache. Edit: Is it just me or is that washi tape crooked? Or is it just the dots??
Hi Ellen! I'm so in love with watercolors and their transparency that I can't go with only gouache - maybe it would be good for my illustrations if I combine watercolors and then gouache for some detailes? when I watch you paint, I think they look very similar to tempera paints? can you compare them if you used tempera sometimes? And I love those little landscapes 😍😍💖🌲🌲🌼 it looks very easy but beautiful 😍👏👏 thanky ou for sharing this and have a great day! Marija 💖
I'm new....to everything and this looks so so doable. I looked at one of the 5 tube sets (basically what I can afford) of Holbein and the reviews were the opposite of what you are saying. That they can't be reworked/reactivated and dry out fast also not recommended for beginners...sigh . You made it all sound too good to be true. I'm sure I was looking at something entirely different than what you buy but it was the Holbein brand. Thanks for sharing this exciting medium
I am telling you I have used this brand for over 25 yrs and will ONLY buy them I get the cheap white gouache and black from not so great brands but sorry Holbein is the best in my opinion - go look at Helen Dardick and Carolyn Gavin on Instagram along with August Wren- top artists who use gouache who use this brand. You can get whichever one you feel comfortable with but I only show you which ones I use and why. They are the best in vibrant colors in my opinion take it or leave it. I have links to the gouache in my video. Jerry's artarama has great prices also.
You may have been looking at the Acryla gouache. It is not reworkable and will dry fast because it is more like acrylic than water soluble gouache. But regular Holbein gouache (that Ellen uses) is a water soluble medium.
holbein has 2 types of gouache acrylic gouache which cannot be reworked because its acrylic and water based gouache which is the one I have used for 25 yrs- so your looking at the wrong one check out the tubes I have they are different than the acrylic gouache.
Hey Ellen I love this Gouache stuff however ever since you introduced it to me all of my watercolors look like it's snowing lol I can't keep myself from dotting or splattering or just over using it....just a heads up beware everyone Gouache can fix mistakes & enhance your paintings but then its so easy to over use it and your fall landscape turns into a winter wonderland...ugh...lol

I love working with Gouache. It’s so smooth when you paint with it and it layers so nice. Thank you for the heads up on the white.
Yess my favorite watercolor teacher talks about gouache!🙌🏽
thanks :)
“Just a sketch,” she says. Just a beautiful painting, says me. Great demo of gouache!!!!!! I never tried it before, but I’m already planning a trip to the art store. I always get hooked on Ellen’s “sketchs”.
LOL just a sketch she says- you're funny!
Awesome! I bought some gauche a few months ago and haven’t used it. I am a total newbie. Thank you! Now I feel confident enough to try. Stay safe. 👍🏻
Wonderful!
Now I know what two beautiful paintings I have are painted with...gouache! Thanks for solving the mystery. You are such a great teacher. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Thank you! Cheers!

I really like your colours and compositions. And they are modern and fresh too.
I’m a beginner with watercolor and gouache but 😊Gouache for me is so much easier to control.
A great introduction to gouache. Thanks

I love it ! Can I mix white acrylic until I buy a larger tube of white gouache? Ellen Crimi Trent
I keep a set of brushes soley for my gouache use.

I really want to get some gouache. Thinking of getting some jelly gouache to practice. If I like it I'll get some artist grade. TFS ❤
Thank you so much for sharing! I love your tutorials. You make it look so easy to create beautiful pictures. That is encouraging.
Excited to try this!!! I love gouache

This was awesome❣️ I've been struggling with using Guoche. It's getting better thanks to you. ❤

Edit: Is it just me or is that washi tape crooked? Or is it just the dots??
It is the dots, but I too was puzzled.
Ellen , would you need to seal the gouache if you were into painting greetings cards or anything similar if you won’t be putting it behind glass ? 💐
Where did you get that pallet? It’s perfect for how I wanna use my gouache. I bet it’s not available any more or something.
Off topic. Can you do a tutorial with a wisteria/house please, if you haven't done one already one day
Hi Ellen.
Does water based gouache leave texture like acrylic when it dries?
Thank you! I would like to try it! What is the difference between gouacheand acrylic?
I tell you in the video - acrylic is permanent and gouache is similar to watercolor unless you get acrylic gouache which is just like acrylic :)
@@ellencrimitrent thank you very much.
Ellen, where did you get that great mixing palette you’re using in the video. Can you please add link to the supply list below?
I just started working with gouache. What do you use to seal paintings?
Looks so much easier than watercolor! But, does it look dull?
not in real life

I used gouache with my watercolors all the time- !!
@@ellencrimitrent thank you! I will have to try that :)
These are so neat! Can you use gouache on canvas?
Yes you can! acrylic gouache not water based.
luv!

@@adventurepakd6194 Yes I was. It was the only Holbeim in a small set. (I'm on a budget constraint) Thank you :)
? What is the difference between acrylic gouache and watercolor gouache? I was gifted some acrylic gouache and I'm not sure how to use it. Thanks!
How thick are you making the paint?
Hi Ellen, i have a question
If I haven't a gouche, but acrylic, Is the same tecnic ?
no there is acrylic gouache which is similar
Hey Ellen I love this Gouache stuff however ever since you introduced it to me all of my watercolors look like it's snowing lol I can't keep myself from dotting or splattering or just over using it....just a heads up beware everyone Gouache can fix mistakes & enhance your paintings but then its so easy to over use it and your fall landscape turns into a winter wonderland...ugh...lol
Hi, I'm new here. I really like your channel. Wasabi tape, hey? ;)
So if watercolor and acrylic had a baby...it would be gouache????
humm maybe but then acrylic you cannot reactivate with water its permanent
'wasabi tape'?? Is that the same thing as Washi tape?
I caught that too. I think she just used the wrong word🤷♀️🙂
please hold the camera still while you are painting.
