I love gouache. I have used it successfully to paint fruit and veg on paper for pencil and charcoal. Thick and watered down, it's easy to add shadow on light colour and white is hugely successful for highlights. My next attempt will be on black paper. I did a little dab and it looked as though it would work. Great demo... thank you for spreading the word on gouache.
I liked this! I’ve never used gouache, know nothing about it so this was very interesting to me. I can see where this could fill the bill for many different techniques and looks. I just may invest in some. ( even though I’ve said for the 100th time…NO MORE SUPPLIES!!!) 🤗👍👍
I don't like the patchiness of gouache - I like it velvet smooth but then you lose the movement - it looks too flat! I can't win with gouache! Your moon is fantastic and I love the painting - maybe I can try to embrace the patchiness!
It’s always worth a try. You may discover something new or just reaffirm that you don’t particularly care for gouache. Keep experimenting and keep learning!
Aw, you’re so lucky to have a son who shares the joy of painting with you 😌🥰
I am. Thank you for watching.
For this style of painting I like the gouache better. Thank you for the comparison. Great idea.
Gouache to fit the subject matter. Great idea to show the comparison, thank you.
Thank you for watching!

Excellent 😊
I have Holbein and recently purchased Winsor Newton….the Winsor Newton is definitely my preferred gouache.
I may have stared at your wall of art behind you in awe! 🤭
Awww thanks. 🥰
I used both gouache and watercolour for the painting - it worked for me! Helen x
So glad it worked out for you. 😀
For that style I actually like the gouache. I see the difference.🖌🎨

It’s always so hard to walk away from new supplies. 😁
I like the gouache better for this. Beautiful colour palette.
I really enjoyed the change in medium too. Thanks for watching.
I prefer the gouache. For a different, even smoother result try hot press paper, it’s lovely
I have one book of hot press paper. I hate it for watercolor for the way I like to paint. I will have to give it a try with gouache.
I hate it for watercolor, too! But for gouache, *chef's kiss*
Love the gouache ❤
😁
I wonder if Kuretaki paints would work well for this. When used concentrated, I am told they are similar to gouache.
I’m not familiar with those paints but experimenting with new supplies is always fun😊
Hello, i m Vero from Belgium, i think mixing aquarelle and gouahe will be good. Sory for’my english, good for you, bye😊
Thank you for watching! Verwelkomen!
Gouache totally. Look at the style, it's less watery and it's nice but watercolor looks too watery for me. So I am choosing gouache
I prefer gouache for this style of painting.
Do you use any different type of brush for gouache than watercolor?
I use the same brushes for both watercolor and gouache.
Water color
