I just recently bought the gouache since I wanna try a new hobby aside from digital arts. I am really new to gouache and thank you for this! This is a lifesaver for sure
Thank you, I got the 56 set for my birthday in February (this year) but I’m kind of scared to open it since I don’t really have the time or space to paint and I don’t want to ruin it before having actively used it in its “prime” so thank you!
Another tip is to just refrigerate your gouache with the lid on and that's how you store it in the first place. Mine haven't dried up at all even after almost a year.
Thanks a lot for the video! ♡ I just got my himi gouache and was scared what I should do when they start dry out! Are you using just normal water from the faucet?
would mixing it with watercolor binder such as gum arabic be helpful after rehydrating it? i ask mostly because that's what the liquid part of the gouache usually is, though the actual ingredient varies between brands
I think since it is more of a water based paint it is ok. I have done this a couple times(mine are always dried out lol) and the pigment is still vibrant and colorful.
No, I don't think that is normal. Mine never got mold on them. It could have been caused by something being on your brushes or in your water when you last used them, but I`m not sure. I don't know if you want to continue using them if they have mold though. Hope this helps:)
Yes, Gouache dries after a while. Just like any water-based paint. But unlike watercolor which is easy to reactivate and for which it's okay to dry, gouache does not reactivate as easily and therefore needs to be stored in an air-tight container, just like acrylics. Maybe people should do some research before they spend lots of money on art supplies. The aforementioned explenation is also the reason why I didn't get the HIMI Gouache and never will. You basically pay extra for a storage container that looks pretty but is totally useless.
Thanks! For a minute I thought my guache was beyond helping ☠
No problem☺️ I am glad this video helped you!
Hii can u tell me from where can i buy this guache set
Fr, mine is so crusty.
Me too
@@ranaafzal5226Amazon or himi website :>
please make sure to use distilled water or himi’s activator spray, otherwise you run the risk of bacteria growth and your paints molding!
You can just boil the water…
@@gabrielsalles8403still has impurities
I opened my set today to see one of my paints molded over. I was so sad, will definitely try distilled this time

Thank you! I was so sad about my gouache!
Thank you so much for this! I was contemplating to just throw out my set and buy a new one until i found out you can actually revive your gouache
Thanks so much for this video! I was out of the country for two years, so my jelly gouache is hard as a rock. I'm going to do this right now 😄
thank u so much i’m trying to get better with my gouache paints & they were dried! This will help sooooo much ❤🎉
I am glad this could help! Good luck on gouache practice😊

Just bought a handheld paint mixer and it’s gonna save my life with my new set

With the big lid os the box or with one plastic warp for every color? Thank y😊
Thanks for explaining. Have buyed me, one in blue didn’t know about it 😅❤
Thanks for the advice ❤
How does one keep it from molding with constantly keeping damp and covered? I'd like to try this but just not sure. Thank you
Keep mine in the fridge. That's been working for me.
thank u!! such an useful video
Thank!that's video is so helpful 💖,I like your TH-cam channel at the first sight, cause is related in Arts🥰🤩😁🙂
Thank you!😊 I am glad you found the video helpful😁
I used boiling water wait until it kinda cool down from boiling and its so much faster than room temperature
The company that makes it also sells Gouache Spray
Thank you! Going to do this soon
I also only use water but now get worry because they say it could be molding if we're not use moisturizing spray
Honestly this is ridiculous come on people are becoming scared of anything even some paint
The excuses to waste product I’m over it
HOW DARE YOU HATE ON PRECIOUS BIBBLE HES AN ICON
Thank you.
❤ satisfy ❤and thanks ❤
Thanks a lot for the video! ♡ I just got my himi gouache and was scared what I should do when they start dry out! Are you using just normal water from the faucet?
Yeah I just use regular tap water. I am glad this video could help you😊
also you could put them inside a fridge to prevent drying!
@@Itz_Tahshin_ oh that's a great tip! Thank you so much
@@Mulpiix no problem! :)
Good
"Hello world" ❤
But ain't it becomes too watery? Like I want to maintain jelly form
Is there any danger of the ink losing its quality the more times you do this?
but after using water it start molding 😶
Another tip. Use distilled water.

My name is himi
Do i need to buy spray for fungus protection I saw ppl sell it online
Did you add water?
can we use guache moisturiser spray btw! thanks
I have never used gouache moisturizing spray so I do not know how well it works, but it sounds like a cool product. I might have to try it out😊
Wouldn't it dilute the color?
Not unless you add too much.
Won't the color pigments ruined after mixing so much water ??
I think since it is more of a water based paint it is ok. I have done this a couple times(mine are always dried out lol) and the pigment is still vibrant and colorful.
@@samwichcreates7060 thanks a lot. I was thinking about buying one but was confused about this watering fact 😅
Water?
Yeah I just used water for this whole process
#mytinyartandcraftworld
I haven't used gouache colors for a while and when I opened the box today I found some mold on some of the colors😮😮😮😮. Is this normal??
No, I don't think that is normal. Mine never got mold on them. It could have been caused by something being on your brushes or in your water when you last used them, but I`m not sure. I don't know if you want to continue using them if they have mold though. Hope this helps:)

What kind of gouache do you buy?
@@rachel2880 Sonnet by Nevskaya Palitra. I also use their watercolors. Good student grade quality and very affordable.
@@rachel2880ones in tubes probably
This is what happens when people go by a fad and buy things they don't want what a waste
