In this video I'm comparing 12 of the most popular Professional level gouache brands available today. I bought everything with my own money so I'm not obligated to be nice! These are my HONEST thoughts and reviews about each brand. I'll show you swatches, do test paintings, talk about lightfastness and price, and all my thoughts about paint consistency and opacity. I was surprised by a few of these brands, and I think you will be too!

Omg yes! I watched a watercolor swatch video and one color turned from a beautiful cobalt blue to drying with a bit of berry red in it. I watched it and gasped at how beautiful it turned over the span of a few minutes.

NOTE: Regarding the brand comparisons & water usage. This is purely experimental to compare the TRUE consistency of each brand, which is only possible if I use the *same* amount of water for each brand. In a "normal" painting session with any single brand, you'd use as much water as necessary to get it to work. So don't take my experiment as the end-all-be-all answer. They are all great to be honest. My comparison shows the inherent quality of each consistency - it's up to you to add as much water as needed to get it to perform how YOU like it. It's nearly impossible to compare so many brands without nitpicking little things. Any of these would be a good purchase, and so much of it depends on your technique. And yes I realize I switched the alphabetical order of Schmincke & Shinhan ...my brain stopped working after endless days of editing/narrating 😂 Anyways...enjoy!

@janaemerson3344 Жыл бұрын

I don’t understand the switching of Schminke and shin Han- are you saying if going down the alphabet that Schminke should be before shin Han or the actual demonstration was mixed up?

@JasmineZellmer Жыл бұрын

This is so good! Winsor and Newton are the first and only Gouache set that I've bought, I got them because of James Gurney, and they've been really nice! I'd be surprised if the honey based ones mold more easily considering honey is naturally antibacterial and as itself actually cannot mold or go bad.

Holy cow Sarah! Such a great review! Thanks for the time and effort. Listening to your thoughts while watching you paint the lovely coastal seascapes was mesmerizing. And I never realized until this video that you had a gouache database. Cool! My conclusions about brands were so similar to yours, so I was happy to hear that from a more prolific, experienced gouache painter. I was particularly interested in your flow and stickiness comments. I paint differently with gouache, using more water, much like I would transparent watercolor unless I specifically need the opacity somewhere, so those observations were also valuable. This will be a video I and many others will return to often I predict. Thanks again!

@SarahBurnsStudio Жыл бұрын

Thank you Steve! I remember watching your gouache brand video a while back - though at the time I was exclusively using W&N so I was happy to see we shared a love for that brand 😁 I find your views on them interesting because I think you have a broad view of the painting industry (having done design and absolutely excellent at watercolors)

@colleenmcchesney1482 Жыл бұрын

Wow that’s a great amount of research & testing of brands. I can definitely see a difference between the brands & the final results of each of the paintings.

Thank you for this awesome review! I just wanted to mention that in my limited experience M Graham gouache rewets better than the others I've tried. For those of us that don't paint with gouache often or just want to carry a tiny kit with some dry pans, it's a great choice for that reason.

I'm so so glad you are reviewing Daler Rowney. It was hard looking for a review when I was thinking of buying them. It's one of the brands I can get my hands on very easily because they sell it in the art section of the bookstore in my city. Daniel Smith's are so expensive that buying just one tube feels like a splurge. It's hard to justify that for a hobbyist like me. But now that I get a validation (hahah) for DR I don't need to think about Daniel Smith anymore 🤣

The Daler Rowney is really nice to use and as long as you use the colourfast colours it should look great for decades. I think it's an amazing paint for the price and perfect for the person who mostly does sketchbook paintings or is a hobbyist.
