Hi so I just had to tell you I’ve been playing around with gouache paint in my books like you showed and it’s amazing. The brushs you recommend are also great. I’m still working on blending but my background came out so nicely no lines or streaks You can’t beat the price of the paint compared to markers and other stuff thanks for sharing
🤯🤯🤯 Wow!! Awesome!! I have the Himi's and love them. I just haven't been able to use them much yet due to moving twice... This is extremely helpful and inspiring!!!! Thank you so much. 🤍🤍🤍🤍🖖👽
Hi Bianca! I am binge watching your videos ❤. I red the description of your channel and I wanted to tell you that I am a general radiologist and I work in the MRI room in a private practice. So we have something in common. Listening to you I totally understand that your art background is useful for your work. In my practice we have 3 radiology technicians and they are amateur photographers (but I love their work and I think that they are more close to a pro). One of them also builds musical instruments. Here in Italy there are not sonographers, the doctors will perform the US and try to get a diagnosis. This is not what I am specialized in. By the way, I want to compliment you for your colored pages. You do great. I am a beginner, started almost a year ago and I still have a long way to go. Sending love and thank you. ❤
Good morning Rita. I'm meeting a few subscribers that are in Radiology like you and I. That's great. MRI techs are some of the best folks in our team here. I hear that in other countries the doctors do indeed perform their own ultrasounds. Not in the USA. We do it for them. I really love the work, but it can be trying most days, especially in the Emergency Room. Hence, I color. I hope you had a great few days and holidays (if you celebrate). Keep strong and keep coloring. I'm just a year in too, so were right on track to get better. Stay safe.
I've been doing the same thing for about a year now, I find it much more fun than with colored pencils and I've always wondered if I'm the only one.😊 I will definitely try your tip to use nail art and makeup brushes. For coloring books with poorer paper quality than the Basford books, I sometimes treat the pages first with gesso or homemade watercolor ground. This prevents bleed through and buckling. I don't have the himi gouache though, I have the gouache from Rosa Studio, which comes in jars with screw caps and also is a budget friendly brand (at least here in Europe)
This is a really great video. I have watched it many times. Great tip for not peeling off the cover completely from the individual pots. I solved the problem of no names on the pots themselves by adding stickers that I wrote the names on them and stuck them to the pots. Regarding the fear of the gouache getting dry, I think, and this is just an assumption based on some videos of artists who use gouache ,is that those artists use gouache differently to say us who use them in colouring books.they need the gouache to remain moist because the style and how they use the paints ,they need it to stay opaque and easy to lift readily when they do their paintings. Good luck with everything.
Thanks for spending some time at my channel Tara. I also toyed with the idea of labeling the pots, but have not gotten around to it. I'm glad that it is working out for you. Yes, to how artists you gouache in comparison to how colorists use it. I have found a spray that is made by Himi for the purpose of keeping the paints moist and free from mold. I'll leave the link here as I think that this could work with other brands. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BVZC5T3S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Hope you are having a good week. Do stay safe.
@@BiancaIris33 I am having an ok week, I’m always grateful even in my lows, as long as God gives me strength I am good. Lately I’ve been having some medical issues but I’ll get through it, unfortunately I can’t color to help the healing process but I will color through watching you and all the lovely coloring ladies here on TH-cam
Thank you for taking the time to make such an informative video......I learned quite a bit and I fully intend to get some hemi gouache to play with very soon!! Thanks again!!
To hear someone who cares about being a thoughtful ultrasound tech is heartening. Think of all the people you have helped. Thank you for role modeling that creative people can use their talents in many ways. I was curious about Himi. Great video.
Wow…thanks so much for sharing and especially for talking and sharing your thought process. I have been working up my nerve to start doing backgrounds, I have the Kingart Gel Sticks and now I know how to use them, can’t wait to start practicing…very excited!
Any sable hair brush will work incredibly well with watercolor and gouache because they are the softest brushes that you can find it is also what oil painters use
Hey Brenda, were you still looking for the square palette I use? It's a removable tray from this palette: www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN138DTT?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Hope this helps.
So helpful! I just got the 48 cup set. Boy, getting those covers off is really tough. Once I get the covers off, I’m excited to use your video to help me along.
OMG! You're right! I did not mention the struggle to get the covers off the cup, but it was. LOL! I hope you enjoy them in your coloring journey. 🎨Always test the paper if you are not sure if they'll play nice. Good luck and stay safe. 🖌
Hi there fellow RAD traveler! Thanks for the compliment, and thank you for spending some of your time with me on the channel. Do stay safe at your Radiology departments and keep you the good fight.
Wow, really beautiful work! I've never tried gouache but I've been watching a couple people use it. I was surprised to see the back of the page in perfect condition! I want to try new things. But I also don't like being wasteful. I don't like the idea of sacrificing the back of any page I want to paint. I don't have a printer to just make separate pages, yet. Your lovely work makes me want to definitely try gouache. This was a very helpful video for me! Thank you!💖
I'm so happy that I was able to give you some information that you can use. I also hate being wasteful, so if you are going to try gouache for coloring in books, get a small set and be sure that they are 'gel-based.' I feel those are better for coloring (rather than 'painting') and they can be repurposed for painting on watercolor paper if you don't like them in your coloring books. Waste not, want not (especially $). Good luck. Stay safe.
Thank you I just came across you 😊 I have a giant box of Himi (you are right sooooo heavy!) have not used as I was fearful of them drying out - fear gone. 😂 I have wanted to try them in my colouring books but nervous of ruining page with water, just love the results you achieve and you have made me confident to try. Your page is really lovely, and you explained everything so well, thank you. Have subscribed 😊
I'm so happy to hear that this has helped you try out your Himi set. I hope you like them and find them useful in your coloring. Thank you for subbing and for spending some of your time with me at the channel. Stay safe.
Thank you for showing this to us. I am newer to gouache and watercoloring in my books. If I got a set would I just be able to wet brush and dip into the gouache or do I need to invest in a pallette?
I'm glad this video was helpful to you. No, you do not need a separate palette at all. You can dip your brush right into the cups themselves. I use a separate palette because it's easier for me and it helps to keep the main source of pigments as clean as possible. The Himi sets do bring a flat pallette you can to mix your colors and so on. It's really personal preference. Good luck and stay safe.
This was very helpful! I’ve had the 24 set for a while, but I haven’t exactly known how to get started. I’m going to order a porcelain palette and some nail art brushes. I’ll let you know how it goes ❤
Glad to have helped. I hope you like gel based gouache. It's made coloring my pages so much easier on my hands. And yes, I would love to know how it goes for you. Good luck and stay safe.
How do you think they would do in a Camilla d'errico book? I am really interested. I love my kingsart gel sticks. And I am always up for mediums that can make my life easier. Being a busy mom. I love what you have done here.
Jamie, I actually do not own any books by Camilla D'errico. I have seen them on the shelves at Walmart Supercenters before and leafed through them, but never purchased because the titles I saw just were not my style. I got a feel for the paper, I think it is similar to Kirby Rosanes paper, but can't be 100% sure from memory. 😕 So I don't really know. I'm not, overall a fan of the 'manga' style, but I wasn't a fan of kawaii either and warming up to it through Lulu Mayo. I see a title on Amazon by Camila that looks interesting, so I'm going to give it a shot. We'll try Himi Goauche and Kingart Gel Sticks on her pages and see how it goes. I'll keep the channel posted. Wish us luck and stay safe.
Hello Bianca, I loved this tutorial and just watched it for the second time. I have a big set of these paints and have not tried them yet. Today may be the day! Question….do you ever use watercolor ground on any coloring pages you plan to paint? I have some that I may try. I’m curious what will happen if switch to another medium for details after using the ground.
Yes, I have experimented with watercolor gesso/ground - the clear option. I also use "Satin Glazing Liquid by Golden" which is an acrylic extender, but you can coat a page with it and let it dry and use watercolor and gouache over it to great results. The only thing that I've noticed is that both products are best used on paper that is somewhat thick rather than too thin. Here are the two that I use: Gesso www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015K109KE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Satin Glaze www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005Z3XYEG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Experiment on pages you don't care for before trying these on one you do want to color, just to be safe and pleased with the results. Good luck. ps. Sorry for the delay in response, I've been working extra shifts these past two weeks.
@@BiancaIris33 Thanks for the tips Bianca. I have both of those products so I’ll experiment as you as Suggested. No worries about the delay! I hope you get some time to relax( and color) after working the extra hours! Take care!
Im loving this!!! Excited to learn about a different medium to enhance my coloring experience. Question, the small spatula type “stick” you use when you are lifting up the lids of the paints, where did you find that?
Hi Heather. I'm glad you are finding tips on the channel for new mediums to experiment with. As for the tool I use, it is this: www.amazon.com/Wismee-Professional-Stainless-Cosmetics-Depotting/dp/B08VDG95MV/ref=sr_1_7?crid=1ZX78F0A224E&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Q80K4laNIdiVy1DMIJ3J3j5X8cYo9Q9Dw6XNrHyOtPqMNqzGQ19EugBWRnd2Fa-yd9TcNRwTF1PrXahmnNID7d5FS-YthpzfilVRLkR8iysG56eEu9ofv0-9UfgsdyhkeWYbyXT1AJylaqinUT8_BD-yOQYHxIZu4nQ7f4y12kwi8xrLoRXUk18zXV6YMyroas6koMjc0mF4J_0oghvnaZGz7fidbzbhLKCSPI94C86yVZBzTYG_Aa5G7MaocyVxHdUfk0smLRua9ZOH1_kJ_bRsS3EhqvnluFQAtcbCYZk.KueonUmgOYrs1FzFRnbh3hH1mUrF5QyDpMBWoXuYMl8&dib_tag=se&keywords=metal%2Bmakeup%2Bspatula&qid=1714238290&sprefix=metal%2Bmake%2Caps%2C127&sr=8-7&th=1 Sorry for the long link.

@@BiancaIris33 thank you so very much!!! I’ve ordered what I’ve needed now thanks to your channel 🤣🤣 Can’t wait for it to arrive!!! Have a blessed weekend
Is it possible you could post an amazon link to the nail brushes you are using? Thank you for this great video!! The best use of gouache usage video I've seen❤❤
Hi Lizzbeth. Hope you are having a good week so far. Here is the link to the set of brushes that I use: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09787V4M9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Enjoy!
I have arthritis and pencils will hurt after a while so I have been experimenting with neo color II and an alcohol colorless blender which helps control the amount of water perfectly and still no bleed thru! Only thing is i have about 6 blenders going so certain colors don't mix. Helps lessen the amount of pencil I need to put down, and Im getting to the point i don't need much pencil work at all.
Same here! Watercolors and gouaches have allowed me to keep coloring in those times when my hands can't even hold a cup or coffee for too long. For a minute there I thought I was going to have to find some other way to relax, but I love it so much and this coloring media does help.
Would you please add links for the brushes you used in your description for those of us looking to experiment in the same way?🙏🏼 And thank you for such a wonderful video explaining how to do this! Blessings to you!!💜
Sure.

I would like to get some of the Hemi Gouache. Which set would you suggest I get for my first set? This has been extremely helpful, and I would like to try it for myself.
I honestly recommend the smallest set to start if you've never used gouache before. I started with the 18 set and then just fell in love with the brand. Good luck!
@@BiancaIris33 I'm so excited, I just bought my first set of Gouache Jelly paints. They are from Michael's though, so they are Artist's Loft brand. But from what I can tell they are just like what you have. I was also able to get them for 50% off.
Here are the 3 most recent purchases I made for soft brushes (for miniature painting and nail art) that I use: www.amazon.com/dp/B0C49T51G8?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 www.amazon.com/dp/B0C3GN4DKJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details www.amazon.com/dp/B08B4VJ4GN?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Good luck.
I am trying to buy the black soft nail art brush your are using especially when explains scrumbling. Could you tell me the name of the brand ? There are so many on Amazon I am getting confused. 🙏🏽
Here is the link to the ones I'm using currently: www.amazon.com/dp/B0C3GN4DKJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details No affiliation. Hope they work for you too. Stay safe.
OMG i thought i was the only one using extensive gouache in coloring books! too cool,, I subscribed. Thank you for the great tips about the brushes! it was something I have been struggling with. I use turner brand and I love the opacity. I'll have to make a video to share with you. I too have hand trouble and I love using other media as well. Thank you again. Good job making the video, do you do Instagram or any other social media? I don't have an account there, maybe I might start one, as long as this computer stuff doesn't consume too much time. I hope you have a great day, hopefully out of the orange and into the blues and pinks :)
Hi there! Thanks for spending some time at my channel. Yes, try brushes intended for nail art with your gouaches in coloring books. They have different sizes and are softer on the pages. Please let me know when you feature Turner, I'm unfamiliar and would like to see. I have an IG account, but I'm super lazy keeping up with it these days. I'm with you on the not letting all the electronics take over one's life. That gets tedious. See in the next video, until then stay safe!
Hi so I just had to tell you I’ve been playing around with gouache paint in my books like you showed and it’s amazing. The brushs you recommend are also great. I’m still working on blending but my background came out so nicely no lines or streaks You can’t beat the price of the paint compared to markers and other stuff thanks for sharing
Oh, I'm so happy it's working out for you!

Hi Bianca! I am binge watching your videos ❤. I red the description of your channel and I wanted to tell you that I am a general radiologist and I work in the MRI room in a private practice. So we have something in common. Listening to you I totally understand that your art background is useful for your work. In my practice we have 3 radiology technicians and they are amateur photographers (but I love their work and I think that they are more close to a pro). One of them also builds musical instruments. Here in Italy there are not sonographers, the doctors will perform the US and try to get a diagnosis. This is not what I am specialized in. By the way, I want to compliment you for your colored pages. You do great. I am a beginner, started almost a year ago and I still have a long way to go. Sending love and thank you. ❤
Good morning Rita. I'm meeting a few subscribers that are in Radiology like you and I. That's great. MRI techs are some of the best folks in our team here. I hear that in other countries the doctors do indeed perform their own ultrasounds. Not in the USA. We do it for them. I really love the work, but it can be trying most days, especially in the Emergency Room. Hence, I color. I hope you had a great few days and holidays (if you celebrate).

I've been doing the same thing for about a year now, I find it much more fun than with colored pencils and I've always wondered if I'm the only one.😊
I will definitely try your tip to use nail art and makeup brushes.
For coloring books with poorer paper quality than the Basford books, I sometimes treat the pages first with gesso or homemade watercolor ground. This prevents bleed through and buckling.
I don't have the himi gouache though, I have the gouache from Rosa Studio, which comes in jars with screw caps and also is a budget friendly brand (at least here in Europe)
Hi Cat. Ok, awesome, thanks for your comment and for letting me know about Rosa Studio brand. I'm going to check them out.

Any sable hair brush will work incredibly well with watercolor and gouache because they are the softest brushes that you can find it is also what oil painters use
Most Oil painters actually use stiff thick brushes like hogs hair. Soft sable is not the best for oil. Only for smoothing edges

@@BiancaIris33 thank you so very much!!! I’ve ordered what I’ve needed now thanks to your channel 🤣🤣 Can’t wait for it to arrive!!! Have a blessed weekend
@@heatherthomas3125 You too, HEather. Stay safe.
Is it possible you could post an amazon link to the nail brushes you are using? Thank you for this great video!! The best use of gouache usage video I've seen❤❤
Hi Lizzbeth. Hope you are having a good week so far. Here is the link to the set of brushes that I use:
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09787V4M9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Enjoy!
Thank you so very much🤗🤗can't wait to try this
I have arthritis and pencils will hurt after a while so I have been experimenting with neo color II and an alcohol colorless blender which helps control the amount of water perfectly and still no bleed thru! Only thing is i have about 6 blenders going so certain colors don't mix. Helps lessen the amount of pencil I need to put down, and Im getting to the point i don't need much pencil work at all.
Same here! Watercolors and gouaches have allowed me to keep coloring in those times when my hands can't even hold a cup or coffee for too long. For a minute there I thought I was going to have to find some other way to relax, but I love it so much and this coloring media does help.
Love it!
Would you please add links for the brushes you used in your description for those of us looking to experiment in the same way?🙏🏼 And thank you for such a wonderful video explaining how to do this! Blessings to you!!💜
Sure. This set:

Most welcome!
I would like to get some of the Hemi Gouache. Which set would you suggest I get for my first set? This has been extremely helpful, and I would like to try it for myself.
I honestly recommend the smallest set to start if you've never used gouache before. I started with the 18 set and then just fell in love with the brand. Good luck!
Here is the one I started with:

Thank you so much!!!@@BiancaIris33
@@BiancaIris33 I'm so excited, I just bought my first set of Gouache Jelly paints. They are from Michael's though, so they are Artist's Loft brand. But from what I can tell they are just like what you have. I was also able to get them for 50% off.
Do you have Amazon links to the soft brushes?
Here are the 3 most recent purchases I made for soft brushes (for miniature painting and nail art) that I use:

Good luck.
@@BiancaIris33thanks! I’m going to try using the Himi. 😊
@@poetspicecolorwrite Oooh, I hope you enjoy them.
I am trying to buy the black soft nail art brush your are using especially when explains scrumbling. Could you tell me the name of the brand ? There are so many on Amazon I am getting confused. 🙏🏽
Here is the link to the ones I'm using currently:

OMG i thought i was the only one using extensive gouache in coloring books! too cool,, I subscribed. Thank you for the great tips about the brushes! it was something I have been struggling with. I use turner brand and I love the opacity. I'll have to make a video to share with you. I too have hand trouble and I love using other media as well. Thank you again. Good job making the video, do you do Instagram or any other social media? I don't have an account there, maybe I might start one, as long as this computer stuff doesn't consume too much time. I hope you have a great day, hopefully out of the orange and into the blues and pinks :)
Hi there! Thanks for spending some time at my channel. Yes, try brushes intended for nail art with your gouaches in coloring books. They have different sizes and are softer on the pages. Please let me know when you feature Turner, I'm unfamiliar and would like to see. I have an IG account, but I'm super lazy keeping up with it these days. I'm with you on the not letting all the electronics take over one's life. That gets tedious. See in the next video, until then stay safe!
