Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm so sorry that you found out that you are allergic to acrylic. I hope you find new joy and passion with gauge and other mediums. ❤
I think gouache will fit right into what you love to do. And if you get lucky and can use the acrylagouache for the times you don’t want something to move (I’m thinking similar to Neocolour 1 ) then maybe the exposure will be small enough that you can get away with it.
Strange to hear to opposite of me. I have a chronic illness and I have no problem using my acrylics. I have 2 tubes of liquitex and those are the only ones that I cant use. With my Amsterdam and Winsor & Newton galeria I have no problems. Oils, pastels (soft and some brands of oil) and alcohol markers are a big no for me. Great video & even greater haul ❤
Hi, enjoyed the video! I’m interested to hear how you get on with gouache. (I’m still trying to determine whether gouache and I are friends.) That’s one of the most orange-y vermilions I’ve seen. Vermilion is one of my favorite colors; one thing that makes it interesting is the varying concepts of exactly what hue it is. I’m with you on Ultramarine-that’s my go-to blue. One other thing: you mentioned burnt sienna as being sometimes useful in greens. That struck me, as I’d never thought of it in green mixtures. Any tips on how you use it in that regard?
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed this. So far gouache and I are still getting to know one another but it’s going well so far. Right! What an orange vermillion! With burnt sienna I like to make earthy greens, so if im mixing a bright yellow (like lemon yellow or primary yellow), and ultramarine, you get a beautiful green but if you want to make it more earthy, instead of adding a red I add burnt sienna to it. If you have burnt sienna try adding it to your greens, your mixes and out of the tube ones. Happy creating ☺️
I'm so sorry you developed an allergy to your acrylics. I have asthma and allergies too and so far I am ok with them, but I'm really glad I've been dabbling with literally every art supply I can get my hands on (except oils) so I won't be too sad if I do develop a reaction to them. I love gouache; I have the Caran D'ache set and the Himi set. I love the Himi set because it's so creamy and fun, but man, does it ever stink when it dries. I can't even stand to look at the finished Himi stuff as it smells like mold. I think I'm going to toss them. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with your new supplies.
Thank you 😊 I was looking at the Himi but now that you said they smell… I think I’ll pass, thank you for sharing that because no one is talking about that.
gouache it’s a hard medium to paint but you have to do it but you have to learn right you have to mix with a little bit of water if you wanted to keep it fresh mix with a little water and a little glycerin to keep it keep it keep it fresh because I was learning that the hard way I used too much glycerin in my gouache can make it messy
I am so sorry to hear that you developed an allergy to acrylics, that must have been very stressful and devastating. I am surprised to see the Prussian blue in acrylics is so dark, cause I don't often see Prussian blue being this dark in watercolour / gouache. I think if you are seeking something similar in gouache (at least in terms of hue), u might be interested in Indigo from Winsor and Newton designer gouache/ delft blue from Schmincke Horadam gouache. But in general, I noticed there is a lack of darker blues (at least more affordable ones) in gouache compared to its cousin medium like watercolour. Maybe it has something to do with the pigments and the fact dark colours in gouache dries lighter and matt. I am not sure where are you based, but if you have access to buying Royal Talens' gouache in JARS. I highly recommend them for practice, because it is so affordable compared to other brands' designer gouache. It is also very vibrant and opaque in their primary colours. I don't really like their white though, so I recommend sticking to Holbein or other brands. The only downside is that some colours are kinda smelly and they are very sticky! But the sticky part can be fixed with adding watercolour medium (I use W&N) and stirring it here and there, then u will always have a nice consistency. Sorry for this long comment, but I really hope you can find gouache to be your new medium to thrive in!
Thank you so much for your insight and recommendation 😃, I’m thinking I may have to just mix my own version of Prussian Blue, but I will look into trying W&N’s Indigo. Finding out it was my paint was very hard and still is but I’m hopeful ☺️
@ I haven’t had any reactions with the Posca I think because maybe one ingredient is different or maybe its due them being in marker form and so small. I’ll only know more with the larger ones as time progresses.
I had no idea that you could become allergic to acrylic, but I’m very sorry since it seemed to be one of your favorite mediums! On a positive note, I have been an avid gouache user for the last few months, and it paints like a dream. Once you get used to the consistency and value changes, it truly is a beautiful medium and I hope you start to love it as much as I do. Wishing you success,in your new painting journey as a Gouache artist, thanks for the great video!

Oh thank you so much, I hope so too ☺️
Super tip for poscas! Press down to release the air, pump it a few times, then recap it and shake that mofo real good. The paint will flowing. 👍
👍 great Tip!

Thank you, so far, I am enjoying the gouache. I just need to buck up and test the Acryla gouache and see.

Do you mean the Liquitex brand or two specific Liquitex colours?
Your pronunciation of hyacinth had me lolling. It's just hi-uh-synth
I knew I was saying it wrong…. Hahah
Cool haul video
Thank you ☺️

@@leahevergreenart Thanks! I've only used a red of some variety to subdue my greens-will definitely try this!

Have you tried to varnish the paintings? Would that get rid of the smell once dried?

It’s nice you found out where you allergic to, but such a shitty allergy for an artist! :(
@@anne_hoi yes, I’m glad I was able to figure out what was triggering it but…. Yes…. A shitty allergy indeed 😔
Poscas don't give you any reaction? They are acrylic ink 😰 If not, I wonder what component it is exactly that they don't share 🤔
@ I haven’t had any reactions with the Posca I think because maybe one ingredient is different or maybe its due them being in marker form and so small. I’ll only know more with the larger ones as time progresses.
