Finally something about poster colors. I use them a lot in my work and since they’re not really popular here i don’t see anybody using/talking about them. Thank you for the video!
Yea me too I use it but the only problem if I search a tutorial from poster colors it always is acrylic and water color thats why I said Me: why is it always acrylic and watercolor thats why I want to buy acrylic paint cuz I think its a very nice brand of paint cuz most artist use it
for me its basically the same... I mean, what will you do with the piece after you finish it? keep it until you forget it... as long as you can practice with it and mass produce it then its good to go. LOL
All of the Indian population has grown up using poster colours since we first started using paints😄 and this video made me finally understand the difference between gouache and poster colours ❤️
I'm back covering a commonly asked question about the difference between all these different paints! I really hope this will answer most of your questions! What would you like to see me covering in this series next? Comment down below!
Do u have any ideas on how to paint without overworking the paper?? I mess up and overwork the paper, causing it to look weird and paper starts wearing away. HELP, SOMEBODY!!!
I am obsessed with watercolors .They are my absolute favourites.I love the effects we can get from them.I tried gouache but didn't like them as much as I love those effects which we can get from watercolor which make it a unique and my absolute favourite medium to work with
I loooovvvveeee watercolour so much. I've tried poster colour before but it's too thick and i have to mix it with some water. I still use white poster colour for highlights, because they are cheaper compare to a tube of white gouache.
I use both watercolor and poster color, which has been a great experience. One day i was really bored and my urge to draw hit me, so i started simple, doing still life with pencil ( because i had drawing pencils lying around). I do watercolors too, but it's a tricky medium to control ( in my opinion) and it requires a lot of planning to use, though the results won't disappoint. After i ran out of water color paper, i started switching back to drawing with pencil. But after searching around my house ( i was too lazy to go out and buy some watercolor paper), i found a set of poster colors lying around. Though i can't exactly remember when/why i bought them ( most likely it was for school ), i tried it nonetheless. I use to remember how when i was young, poster was my go to option because of the accessibility ( and because it was the only thing my parents bought). Painting with poster once again, has opened my eyes. I find that poster is an easy medium to control because of the opacity and size of the pigments, it makes it easy to cover up mistakes and you won't have to think ( and worry ) as much. Another plus is that it works on sketchbook paper ( so i don't have to run to the store to buy watercolor paper). It's good for leisure art but would not recommend it for things like commission art. Also, mixing a bit of poster into your watercolors makes it look more opaque and make the subject you are painting with it stand out amongst that more transparent watercolor. I did it once for flowers, mixing some poster color white with purple. The result was wonderful.
The first ever paints i bought were poster paints.😄 They were super cheap and came in only 6 colours so i had to mix each colour by myself, this helped me to understand mixing of different colours.
I love watercolors. I know it needs practice but i just love the results. So neat, so beautiful when you look at it you really feel the hard work you put in there.
That's great to know because I was given poster paint and never used it because I thought it was only used for lettering...Now I'm going to give it a try for a painting...so thanks very much for that info..😍😘
i’ve been wondering about poster colors as well, since i used them back in hs whenever i thought using acrylic was too expensive for the project/assignment
I am using poster colours for 3 - 4 months now. They are cheap and available here easily.. and I am painting portraits with them and I am quite happy 😄
I started off using Poster Colors for painting but the set that was given to me as a gift ended up being crappy quality, but I didn't know it at the time. Then I tried watercolors and found that it works great with my art. I recently got interested in more opaque paints like gouache and poster paints and while they're much better to work with for my art, I still have some difficulties with it. It might be because the number of watercolor 101s on TH-cam is greater than the number of 101s on the other two mediums. So I've been having some trouble of figuring out my own process, since the two mediums can be used in a variety of ways, for example, going in thick and opaque straight away or doing thin washes and slowly layering. They're unlike watercolor where it's a definite rule to go from light to dark and to work in layers.
I like gouache the most. But they are all fun to work with. Maybe a video about how to prep your work, how to set up everything for a painting? I have only seen ONE video about that, and we all have different preferenses how to do, what to prepare and so on. Thanks Mako! ❤️
i’ve been watching a lot of Studio Ghibli background painter vids, and majority of these artists use Poster Colors. i’m glad to know they’re cheaper too haha
It's very easy to understand three different characteristics.^^ 've used watercolors and poster paints, but I haven't used any pastures. I think it's easy to use the transparency and the opaque weight of the gouache.
So happy you’re back! I know the basic differences between watercolour and gouache but never tried to get deep into it. And I have never used poster color only heard of them. My favorite medium is gouache and watercolour when I have the mood I will paint with either of them.
After a looong time we get to see more content from you! It's been weeks since you have posted!!! I was sooo bored without your videos! Finally we got another Mako video!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've actually wondered their diferrences before and planned to experiment and see them for myself, so Im very happy that you uploaded a great vid about it. Thank you so much Mako!💖
I love poster paint💖 I am still practicing on how to use watercolor😅 Now I know their difference Thank you for the video💖💖💖 Your channel helps me a lot😍😍😍❤❤❤
Hullo, I was looking for the NICKER Poster paints and a review of them. There are not many videos and this was a very good general introduction on the different types of paints that will lift even when dry! Thanks for the lovely video and for sharing your knowledge with us!
Very helpful indeed; I'm playing with watercolour and gouache in my art and junk journals. Great to understand this, although not knowing didn't stop me having an enormous amount of fun with both 😁 joie 🌿💜
Loved this, and learned a lot. Thank you! If you've not done this before, a video of you working with watercolor and gauche on a painting, or in a series (like the four paintings on one sheet) would be cool! I don't know how well the two would work together in the same painting, I'm very new to watercolor and I don't have any gauche yet to test it and play with both mediums.
It's so so informative. Thank you. The gouache that I use is SO cheap and low quality tho that when I tried sakura or pentel poster color it felt like using the most amazing and expensive paints on the planet haha so I always thought poster was higher quality before
I mainly use gouache and a little bit of water colors sometimes. I then use white poster colors for highlights and the metallic poster colors for accents because they're cheaper
Makooo,firstly i wannna thankyou so muchhh! I literally watch all your videos because they are so helpful and secondly because i have been wondering the difference between gouache and poster paint for so loongg now? You’re the bestttt❤️ i love your channel 🥺
Thank you so much for sharing ! I have always wondered what is the difference between watercolours and gouache . Can you please do a video on watercolour pencils . You are so beautiful and creative also talented. I love you very much 😘😍❤️
#makoficationsquad I actually work with these three mediums. I actually thought gouache and poster colors were the same, since gouache was what was used to make movie poster before digitally making 'em, so I thought gouache's name was just changed over time.
Hey Mako! I’m a super fan! I love your paintings! I’m trying out gouache paints and it would be really helpful if you could make one video only explaining and telling us about gouache. Thnx!
this was so helpful, thank you. I was just going through a load of art supplies and I found a box of poster colours by Winsor and Newton. I don't know how long i've had them for....I was going to chuck them out as I am using WN Professional watercolours just now. However, having watched your video I realise these might come in useful if i want to do more flat and opaque colour, or for when children come to visit so i'm going to hang on to them!
I think there are a lot of useful information in the video good stuff . ☺ The only thing i would precise is that usually poster paint are not opaque as much as Artist grade designer gouache cuz more diluted and they change more tone from wet to dry .. i think in the video you said something different also poster paint use glues and other synthetic binders not only Arabic Gum . Poster paint are on average like a cheap version of gouache used for work that need to be re-printed / scanned and not displayed as they are . They are not made to be light-fast that it's the biggest difference also a lot of things depend on the brand of paint you are using. In reality in fact you find quite high quality poster paints made by Nicker / Sakura that are "acceptably" light-fast . The colors are usually not tested with the standard ASTM but if you avoid to use too much purples / violet / rose are pretty safe and will last for long time . They are also very opaque as you said but winsor and newton designer gouche is even more opaque and dense .. poster paint have a honey consistency. Also the price can be very high outside from Japan . A set of 18 colors by nicker in Japan is around 7000 yen (50 euros ) in my country they reach even 150 200 euro (160 dollars) for the same set. They became quite popular thanks to Kazuo Oga so art stores try to speculate ... in the past they were almost impossible to find .
Just yesterday I started playing with poster colors. Nice video, now I know what's the difference between poster and water color. I believe the brushes are same for both. Nothing special needed, right?

Don't worry dude
I use it too
Where can i find your paintings I’m interested in poster colors art
Yea me too I use it but the only problem if I search a tutorial from poster colors it always is acrylic and water color thats why I said
Me: why is it always acrylic and watercolor thats why I want to buy acrylic paint cuz I think its a very nice brand of paint cuz most artist use it
Lol I only bought them for my art class , I don't use them at all
No worries too, I use it more often now!
Poster paint is the only thing getting me through art class
Same

Yayy I'm glad I could help! I got asked about it a lot!
@@Makoccino I honestly thought that gouache and poster colours were the same thing😂
xD thats right
Same here in Bangladesh.
couldn't agree more 😂
Finally! I was waiting for a talk about poster colours for so long 😂
Awww haha
Yes me too
Sameeeee its always water color and acrylic😅
I didn’t even know Poster paint exists. So thanks 😄
Just know if you're gonna get some, DO NOT get it at the dollar store.
I didn't either, now I really need to try some!
Same
KTCLPS Thanks for the tip. (Though I probably didn’t need it. I’m a fan of Schmincke just like Mako 😅)
Poster paints are what Ghibli use for their backgrounds. Nicker Poster Colour for the precise brand.

The way u make us understand everything is just awesome mako...🥰🥰
Aww I'm glad to hear that!
So happy to receive ur comment
poster paints are the stuff i used to use as a kid when i knew 0 stuff about painting lol, such an informative video! thanks ♡
I used to use poster paints in school. Usually the tubs are filled with dried up poster paints insteaf of liquid ones cause they're old....
I could relate to that.
Same here
The first ever paints i bought were poster paints.😄 They were super cheap and came in only 6 colours so i had to mix each colour by myself, this helped me to understand mixing of different colours.
I love watercolors. I know it needs practice but i just love the results. So neat, so beautiful when you look at it you really feel the hard work you put in there.
So i've been using poster color for my whole life
I’ve used it this year, basically the new poster paints my mother gave me have easier colors which is why I use it very often now.
kinda sad not alotta people know about poster paints :( so glad you gave em some recognition!!!
That's great to know because I was given poster paint and never used it because I thought it was only used for lettering...Now I'm going to give it a try for a painting...so thanks very much for that info..😍😘
I use poster colors when I'm beginning in aqua-related mediums, and it worked out for me yet the colors are more opaque (in my experience)
i’ve been wondering about poster colors as well, since i used them back in hs whenever i thought using acrylic was too expensive for the project/assignment
I just saw almost all of ur video....I once saw the videos 2yrs ago and now suddenly got the memory back...you r great
I am using poster colours for 3 - 4 months now. They are cheap and available here easily.. and I am painting portraits with them and I am quite happy 😄
I thought Gouache and Poster paint where the same but with a different name like Tempera 😅
We call poster paint Tempera in italian! It's obviously not the egg based tempera they used in the past, but we kept the name
Ohhhh so that is what Tempera colours are! They were the only paints we would use in school
I actually thought poster paint is considered as watercolour paints so I use it for gradient washes and it just dried up quickly
same.
I started off using Poster Colors for painting but the set that was given to me as a gift ended up being crappy quality, but I didn't know it at the time. Then I tried watercolors and found that it works great with my art. I recently got interested in more opaque paints like gouache and poster paints and while they're much better to work with for my art, I still have some difficulties with it.

poster paints are life
I really enjoyed the simple explanations. I find watercolor hard. ( I cannot create the proper mixture with water yet.) Thanks for the video!
Can you please make a video on poster paints....like a scenery or just a painting...
I don't use water color but i think i could try
Your video of art are AMAZING!!!

I think there are a lot of useful information in the video good stuff . ☺
The only thing i would precise is that usually poster paint are not opaque as much as Artist grade designer gouache cuz more diluted and they change more tone from wet to dry .. i think in the video you said something different also poster paint use glues and other synthetic binders not only Arabic Gum .
Poster paint are on average like a cheap version of gouache used for work that need to be re-printed / scanned and not displayed as they are . They are not made to be light-fast that it's the biggest difference also a lot of things depend on the brand of paint you are using.
In reality in fact you find quite high quality poster paints made by Nicker / Sakura that are "acceptably" light-fast .
The colors are usually not tested with the standard ASTM but if you avoid to use too much purples / violet / rose are pretty safe and will last for long time .
They are also very opaque as you said but winsor and newton designer gouche is even more opaque and dense .. poster paint have a honey consistency.
Also the price can be very high outside from Japan . A set of 18 colors by nicker in Japan is around 7000 yen (50 euros ) in my country they reach even 150 200 euro (160 dollars) for the same set.
They became quite popular thanks to Kazuo Oga so art stores try to speculate ... in the past they were almost impossible to find .
I used to use the Faber castle poster colours as water colours . I never knew the difference between them.
Fascinating 🧐 only using poster paints. Would love ❤️ to use others. We say Acrylic paints in 🇬🇧
I like poster colors
This is exactly what I wantedddddddd😃

I believe the brushes are same for both. Nothing special needed, right?
My fav is watercolour then gouache
I love gouache the best!
