I admire how you have continued with the monthly challenges while also working on the big project, Evie. Good luck with this month and I’m really looking forward to seeing the Roman Szmal summary.
Thanks Kilby! To be fair, the monthly challenge has provided me with a focus during the little personal time I've had with the big project. Without them, I think I would have really struggled. 😘 Can you believe the RS green still hasn't arrived? I'm hoping it arrives today so I can film a quick swatch with my October Roman Szmal recap! 🤞
@ I can see how they would help keep you going. You didn’t get it yet? Hopefully soon. I have already made an unplanned purchase this morning. I was looking at Amazon and a really good price for the wooden boxes of the Schmincke super granulation sets came up. I had no plans to buy anymore, as I have made a nice palette with 24 of them. But before I knew it, I had 3 of them in my cart (volcano, deep sea and desert). I really didn’t need them but they were the lowest price I’ve ever seen for the 5 x 15 ml tubes and oh well. These things happen.
It arrived in The Netherlands yesterday according to tracking... but it hasn't made it through customs and to me yet. Sigh. But, what a collection of Schmincke to have! I just popped to my local Amazon to check the pricing here but still way out of my budget. I will live vicariously through you for now! 🤣 Though I already have a left curated set of Schminckes that I don't put to use much... 😬
Oh Kilby... guess what just arrived? 😍 I cannot swatch it today though as the light is rubbish, so I'm going to record it tomorrow morning with my morning coffee for the Roman Szmal recap! 😎
This will be an awesome challenge Evie! I am looking forward to see what you create and also your review at the end of the month ❤ i love guache (regular), the colors and opacity but i still struggle using it and mixing colours is really difficult too (not as easy as watercolors for me). P.S.- I'm thinking about questions for your Q&A 😉
Thanks Teresa.. I'm being brave and just packed a small selection of gouache tubes to take to the pub... the sun is shining, we have maybe 1.5hrs left before it's dark and I am gonna do my best! 🤞 Also - excellent on the Q&A questions! I have a spreadsheet to note them all down! 🤣 😘
Thank you Catherine! I'm heading out now with the OH - the sun is shining so he wants to sit in a pub garden before it goes - and I'm taking some gouache with me... scary! 🫣
I started to think that guache is a bit boring... was using it for a while to try... I got the soft pastels that you were so enthusiastic about.... Will let you know. Thx for the video. Too short but ok.
Oh I hope you live the pastels as much as I do Jackie! 😎 I do like how 'flat' gouache can appear compared to watercolor and its effects. But I am hopeful that playing with gouache for a month will open up more ideas on using it. 🤞 Ha ha, that's so funny! my shorter videos often get more views, but there wasn't much more to say for this one. Though I could have swatched out all my gouache colours I guess.. but they've mostly already been swathed across other videos... 🤔

@ I’m so excited for you!
Really looking forward to gouache month! Excited to see what you create xx
Thanks Helen! I'm a bit giddy with it too to be honest, I feel like it's going to be lots of fun, and just a bit messy! 😎 Xx
Excited to see what you create with these!! 😍
Me too! 😍 Also, side note, I made something already for *baby* Watts! 😎

So cool, I can’t wait to see how your challenge goes. I have never used acryli-gouache so I am interested to see what you think. Have fun

Love these challenges 😊😊😊
Thanks Isi! 😘

I have just bought a phith sketch book the same size as yours and I am loving it as well so I am asking for the bigger ones for Christmas
The Piths are gorgeous aren't they? I think I'm going to order a few for when I'm back in the UK in January, so I can bring them back! 😎
