    I'm a watercolorist at heart, but recently I've been playing with gouache as well, and I enjoy it. I love the transparency of watercolor but gouache is definitely more forgiving of mistakes.

    I've been using gansai watercolors for a few years now and always wondered why they are so easy to lift when fixing mistakes; and this video has the answer :o I didn't know they were designed to use like that before.

  • @ChidoriShiori
    @ChidoriShiori 6 ปีที่แล้ว +162

    Very informative, especially about poster colors!!! You don't get much information on how to use them properly in the west. Another confusing aspect is the paper that is used with it that I believe called TMK poster paper? It's very hard to find, but apparently many animators use it for backgrounds alongside The Nicker Poster colors. :0 Woud JetPens consider stocking the brushes and paper commonly used with Nicker Poster as well?

      Holly Jolly I use poster colours quite a lot as a "gouache" experience. Gouache is quite expensive for the level of artistry I'm at right now.
      Anyway, I have found that any thick paper is good enough for poster colours. Whether textured or not, doesn't really matter, it's completely your choice whether you want a textured painting or not. The sketchbook papers we get here are more than enough to hold poster paints so I practice on those. It's not a very picky medium, from my experience. :)

    Omg.. thank youuu..
    I interested in painting.. the first time i visit a gallery, i was mesmerising.. but because i never had experienced with art , and i have zero basic regarding art/ colours and i neither creative nor artistic.. i just ignore it.. now, during quarantine I bought a poster colours( I thought it was watercolour at first 😱🤭🤭) and start search yt about painting for beginners.. and omg, i never felt this good u know & really find this is so enjoyable..
    I do realised poster colour & watercolour is different things, so that’s why I’m here..
    Conclusion, i will settle for poster colour for now because of price & i still a beginner learning about all of thing.. wish me luck..

  • @yowahana
    @yowahana 6 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I've been thinking of using gouache for a while now, especially since it can be used with watercolors. Maybe when I have some extra spending money I'll consider getting some gouache to try out!

  • @onehotpepper
    @onehotpepper 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Does this mean that you could or should use lesser quality paper with poster colors because things like lightfastness and acid-free qualities don't matter? i.e. I'll be scanning the artwork. So long as the paper works with the paint, I think it makes monetary sense. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Which is more preferable to make REALISTIC painting? Water color or poster color?

    • @JetPens
      @JetPens  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi there! It depends on how vivid you want your colors to be. Generally we'd recommend poster colors for a more lush, richly saturated painting, while watercolors tend to be slightly more diluted, unless you use extra pigmented watercolor paints.

    Nice video. Educational. I've never heard about 'poster colours'. In our country we name them as type of 'tempera'. 'Egg tempera' is called just 'tempera' too.
    I prefer solid watercolours. Because I don't know how prevent paints in tubes from drying out. Paint having dryed on mouth, tube cover breaks TT_TT

    Hi, could someone tell me if poster colors are the same as "temperas" (in spanish)? Because I've seen a lot of videos of artist making lovely paintings whit poster colors and I want to try it too, but it's like they don't exist here where I live. Sorry if I misspelled something and thank you. Amazing video by the way, super helpful 💗

    • @JetPens

      The Nicker Poster Colors are much nicer than traditional temperas. Tempera is a kind of poster paint, and it's usually made for kids.
