I would love a sketchbook tour! And thank you for this honest, unbiased review ❤
Sketchbook tour on its way (once I have finished it!!!)
Thank you for this Cecile, have contemplated buying the DS gouache as love the watercolour paints but now quite happy to stick with my W & N designer gouache as love that, please keep your wonderful videos coming ☺️
Thank you! I appreciate!
I’m interested to see how you like the DS gouache once dried. As far as I know they are the only professional gouache that markets itself as being able to be dried in pans, which is why I have been investing in it.
The palette is still drying, I’ll do this in a while for sure!
As you say: they market themselves and other brands can also be dried in pans. @sarahburnsstudio made a video about this topic
Thank you for your review! ❤ Love your sketchbook paintings.
Thank you!
I always enjoy a good sketchbook tour ❤ Thanks for sharing your thoughts on DS gouache. I was swept up in the hype, but seeing this, I can keep calm with the paints I already have.
😂 I’m happy to have saved you some money then!
Yes please! I would love a sketch book tour!
I think I'll finish my sketchbook pretty soon and I'll do it!
I'm using Daniel Smith for a dry gouache palette here: th-cam.com/video/GQYSF8jET30/w-d-xo.html
dear Cecile I am super glad that you mentioned that these are not the actual primary colours. That was what bothered my about the set but I am probably still getting it. I would have loved Schmincke Gouache as obviously they are easy to get here in Germany and have excellent quality. Sadly they do use ox gall though so thats no option for me. Thank you for this review. Beautiful paintings
Did you try Holbein? They are better than DS in my opinion!
th-cam.com/video/Fk38RLbwex4/w-d-xo.html
@@CecileYadro thank you for the hint, yes I did read that you like these a lot and they are definitely an option for me. Just like their watercolours. I am absolutely trying them at some point.
I'd like to see a tour of your sketchbook. Your citrus fruits are so real!😊
I’m almost done with the sketchbook and I’ll do a tour later.
So helpful. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Very honest unbiased opinion...Great review Cecile 👌
Thank you!
I needed this video!❤
🙌
Great video! My honest review of these would be: I really like this paint so far. Its highly pigmented. I feel like the colors stayed bright after I brought the painting indoors from plein air painting. This is my experience with it so far. The DS titanium white though is another story. I feel like I never squeeze enough white out and I'm always reaching for more. Other brands I feel like "oh no! that's too much!"
Thanks for your comment!
thanks for this! i was curious as i use Daniel Smith for watercolors, but i have schminke, W&N, and M graham for gouache. i think i will stick with those brands.
You’re good with these!
Great review! I was also less than enthused about their current color selection (no phthalo blue!). I love Holbein's primary cyan/magenta/yellow, but wanted a version that could be easily kept dry in pans for travel.
I ended up e-mailing Daniel Smith and asked if they were planning on releasing any more gouache colors... and to my surprise, they e-mailed back today and said they were going to release 22+ more near the end of the year. Hopefully adding more colors helps make their gouache a bit more exciting!
Let’s see their color selection! and I’m currently making tests with dry gouache in pans for travelling.
@@CecileYadro Daniel Smith didn't tell me which colors they'd be, but here's to hoping they'll perfectly fill in some of the missing staples their current lineup has.
Oooh, good luck, and I'm looking forward to your dry gouache test! Really hoping it goes well.
I'm currently testing a dry palette with my Holbein gouache for an upcoming trip, and glycerin seems to be the silver bullet in getting it to behave *just* well enough to be useable. I stored it upside-down last night (three days post-fill) and didn't notice any awful crumbling or leaking, so I consider that a win!
Glycerin or the painting medium for watercolor?
@@CecileYadro Just glycerin right now! If I have a chance I'll pick up some watercolor medium or gum arabic and see how that does. Schmincke also sells a gouache paint binder that might work.
Certain Holbein colors (mostly white) seem to like getting... grainy, for lack of a better term. If I give it a few minutes to soak water, the colors seem to hold their opacity pretty well on paper.
I am curious if you would ever review Marie's gouache, which is an inexpensive brand of gouache made in China. It is not artists quality, but you did also review Himi gouache which isn't artists quality either... Maybe you can compare those two and see which is the better cheaper option for artists on a budget. My experience with Marie's was... Well, it was my first gouache brand I ever used and I loved it. Then I found your videos and saw that you loved Holbein so I went and bought those which I've been using. I am finding, however, that the Holbein gouache behaves so much differently than Marie's. Marie's probably has less pigment and more binder so I think my struggles with Holbein is simply bc I was already used to how Marie's behaved. I do love that Holbein is so vibrant and I can tell it's good quality. But yes, I would be very interested to hear what you would think of Marie's coming from a more experienced gouache artist. One thing I will note about Marie's is that it is not a true matte finish! More of a satin finish similar to my liquitex acrylics.
I never heard of that particular brand before. I’ve read some reviews on Amazon and it’s very unlikely that I try them! but thanks for the info!
@@CecileYadro no problem! That is okay lol I just thought I'd share my experience with em. I do enjoy your videos a lot and find you have shared a lot of useful information that I go back to whenever I'm struggling! You definitely have inspired me to keep going with the medium even if it doesn't always go the way I want 😅
It's funny how you start by pointing out they're not primary colours, because that was my first reaction. There should be PV19, lemon yellow and a cyan equivalent like pb28.
👍
Today on Facebook he said 40 (I think) new colors coming in November.
40! I'll check this!
Beautiful thank you
Welcome 😊
Daniel Smith watercolors are very nice quality, but the produce many mixed colors and you have to root through there big selection to fine the pure colors. Seems like they’re doing the mixtures with gouache. Nice review/demo, thanks.
Thanks for watching
I have a few DS gouache and agree they are missing a cool blue. I ended up getting the spring green because I couldn't mix a fresh looking one with the blues available.
Yes ! agree, a fresh green, and a fresh purple is difficult with their current selection.
@@CecileYadro yes agree purple too
I was surprised by the color selection too, would like to see a Phthalo Blue GS (or other cool blue) and Quin Rose and don't understand why they have two bright greens so close in color. But I heard that DS released this first selection of 22 and will be adding another 22 colors to the range. Because of the way their store displays are designed, DS releases in increments of 11.
I didn't know about the increments of 11, it's interesting to know, thank you!
They do have more colors coming later in the year.
I am very much a gouache novice, but unlike watercolor, it's a medium where I am truly happy with just primaries plus black and two whites (zinc and titanium) and as much as I love DS watercolor, this selection did not appeal to me. I think the only thing I would not mind trying in this line is the Buff Titanium ... but I have so many tubes of Holbein and W&N that I have no need for more.
I get that, I have a lot of tubes as well, but I should have tried Buff Titanium. I have one in acrylic and I use it a lot, it's a very convenient neutral color.
What are your opinnion about Lascaux-Gouache? It seems to be a little different, more like in the middle between gouache and tempera. It is not so easy to reactivate with water, it takes a little bit, but it can be reactivate.
I’ve looked and it’s actually acrylic and not gouache. There is an acrylic binder inside so it’s not meant to be reactivated as for what I can see on their website.
if you are in France, my favorite is Lefranc Bourgeois/Linel. Have many colors (brought back by friends and family from France to California ;-) and love them! Would you consider them high quality gouache? I have a couple of Daniel Smith, expensive here too and they're nice too. These are all really nice gouache. Just discovered your channel and love what you do! Thanks for the content!
Bonjour ! Yes I do have Linel and use them, not my favorite though, but good quality paint.
@@CecileYadro which one do you prefer? I'm sure you have a video about that so I'll look it up ;-)
My favorite brand is Holbein!
@@CecileYadro Merci
I would like a tour.what is the difference in the white paints hen mixing? Thanks
One is more transparent than the other, and Titanium is so white that I keep it for highlights, also it makes your mix sticky.
In your opinion, it' best to mixes the zinc white?
I prefer using zinc white for mixes, I think that titanium white is too sticky for mixes, but it’s just me!
If I wanted to pay Schmincke prices for my gouache, I'd prefer Schmincke. Even after two price increases in 2022, M Graham is still substantially less than DS,...and there's no way DS has more pigment. The question is why did DS wait so long to get in the gouache market? Maybe DS should have stopped making their oil paint nobody uses and introduced their gouache years ago.
Interesting point of view, I didn't know their oil paint had little success.
@@CecileYadro In the US, you can't get Daniel Smith's traditional oil paint from the three big e-tailers now (Blick, Jerry's and Cheap Joe's). But I was wrong to say "nobody" uses it. I do see mention of some using their water miscible oils. My point is that DS has achieved such success with watercolor that introducing a gouache line years ago would have made good business sense. But what do I know, lol?! Thanks for giving, as others stated, an UNBIASED review, Cecile:)
what is the name of that magnetic palette ?
It's Compuzzle by Mungyo
Quality gouache it's definitely a one way railroad...❤
😂
Oh, nooooo!!!😅😅😅
🙌
Instead of greens, I'm an addicted to them...UPS.
I’m sorry I don’t understand what you mean?
@@CecileYadro I buy greens all the time...I think I'm addicted to greens, I love them!
How I wish I’m good at colour mixing 🥲🥹. I bought Holbein gouaches after watching your video about it and I love them. 🥰
Thanks for your message!
