Hi, I just want to stop by and say thank you. Years ago, and I mean quite a few! I found this channel. The first art channel I ever subscribed to. I was simply just a young teen and now i’m 20. You guys have completely inspired me over the years and have helped me so much ! I haven’t been very active regarding my art lately, but maybe that will change. I still just want to say thank you.

If anyone's looking for a travel gouache kit, I highly recommend CaranD'ache's pan gouache kit if you can get them for a good price. I managed to get mine for 50% off and, as someone who has to travel a lot, it being in pans make it extremely useful to paint on the go!

So creamy with the right amount of water, isn’t streaky, and colors mix beautify. Only cons are: white isn’t as opaque but it’s a good mixing white like zinc white, the palette is huge (can be good since pans are large), and I didn’t like the magenta color would have preferred a quin rose color instead

i actually love using these paints! since they're pretty cheap i don't feel bad using them up for silly sketches. i've had mine for quite a while and they do dry up but if you add water and let them soak it in you can mix them up again and they are like new! i do prefer my fancier more expensive brands but these are very fun for just playing around.

@@poptrauma2u Yes they do dry out after a while. Mine only mostly dried on the top, after like 3-5 months? You can spray them with a bit of water after each use and use some cling wrap to help keep the paints went. Alternatively you can let them dry out and then sprit some water on them where you want to use them. It’s easier to travel with this paints when they are dry. Then just spray them with water before use. If you tilt the paints, depending on the consistency it can drip to the lid. I haven’t had any leakage to the outside tho, the container is very nice.

So, I bought the next size down of this set for myself a few weeks back. A few things I’ve figured out since using them: 1. When they dry out, adding water, scraping the sides, and using a handheld mini paint mixer or palette knife brings them back to life pretty quick. I use a spritzer bottle when they start to dry when painting outside. 2. I found using a palette knife to put the colors on the palette keeps the cups of paint really clean. (Since it’s easier to clean the palette knife than brushes) 3. It’s a bit heavy, but I liked this set because it’s so easy to bust out to go painting outside. It’s just one less thing to prep and set up and one less excuse for me to avoid going out to paint. I haven’t had issues with the paint spilling out- but I keep mine a bit jelly consistency rather than liquid-y. 4. I agree these are definitely student grade, but the price is good and if you’re just trying to get in more practice in, I always feel less pressure and guilt if I should mess up or that days painting doesn’t go well (as opposed to using hoelbein or Winsor & Newton which i reserve for projects I want to sell or can take my time working on indoors) 5. When I finish using the paints, hey- free container! Just fill in with paints from another brand! (The refills are not really available)

Yeah I'd say don't get them, you can mix colors (not well) They're supposed to be layered thickly, from cup to paper. They'll crack if applied too thickly and they smell rancid, also watering them down does not work either. They are a pain to store.

I have these, and I absolutely love them. I’ve had them for at least a year, and they work really well still! I do recommend them. They’re cheaper, water down fine, layer fine, and are real fun to use. They do dry with age but some water will make them just fine. Only problem I’ve ever had is just warping of the removable palette which may have been my own mistake??

I’m glad you guys reviewed this. I bought the smaller set a few years ago and barely used it. It dried up. But I did like it so I bought the larger set and I have been using it a lot more, and I try to remember to spritz the gouache every few weeks to keep them hydrated. It’s been about a year and the paints are still nice and goopy. I often decide not to paint because of the prep and cleanup, and this set basically removes any prep. Sure it’s not the best quality, but it’s perfect for what I use it for. I put the paints in the order I wanted before I took the lids off.

The gloopiness of this paint reminds me of tempura paint we used in school during art class (can't forget that smell) or even the paint you get with cheap paint by numbers or paint your own dream catcher sets sold to kids. I wonder if it would work better this way: color the base picture with alcohol markers, use the (watered down) gouache paint to create shadows and textures and then finish off fine details like you two did with colored pencils. You both did such a great job with such a challenging medium. And as always, than you for such a wonderful video.

Kids' tempera is basically a cheaper variant of gouache (some call it poster paint). Artist grade tempera is made with egg yolk, but the kids tempera / poster paint uses the same binders as industrial gouache. So yes, they're basically the same thing, the main difference is quality.

Always a pleasure to watch you two drawing and trying new things! I tried these paints last year and kind of forgot about it before returning to them a few weeks ago. I found them really disappointing when I first tried them last year. However, when I tried them again recently I found them more easy to use as they had dried a bit in the pots and spraying them with water. It's way easier to use when they dry a bit, it avoids the gloopiness and it's a lot smoother. I achieved some interesting effects with it at last!

@valasafantastic1055 2 жыл бұрын

Fun stuff. I advise you mix and stir them up. They are also meant to be watered down to various levels for different techniques. Spray isopropyl to avoid Mold. They 100 percent reset even if completely dried! They are my favourite paints now. Most colours are also surprisingly lightfast (based on my tests.) nude, violet, pale violet are not lightfast, and rose shifts a bit. Prussian seems to fade but if you rest it in darkness it ‘recharges’ so yes Prussian blue is lightfast. Do be careful of mould however I had some issues.I advise getting half pans pre mixing a lot of colours quickly and letting them dry. I’m looking into also getting lavender essential oil to add to it to avoid Mold in the future. Mixing in isopropyl alcohol will rid it of Mold. Anyways it’s safer to let it dry and re-wet. Also rearrange the colour order and put sticker labels on the sides to label the colours. The order is crazy rearrange the order!

I could definitely see where using a more elite gouache usually might make this a so-so product though.

@RadishTheFool 2 жыл бұрын

I really like working with the Himi paints. Some advice that I collected from watching lots of gouache videos, and that I have found to make a difference: 1. Work in layers. Start off with a fairly watery layer, then add one or two layers which are a bit thicker (but not pure from the cup). This will make the top layers look smoother, and keep underlying layers from reactivating. 2. Use watercolour paper. For gouache, you can use the back if you want. And it doesn't have to be the expensive brand stuff. But it needs to be watercolour paper. The paint won't slide around so gloopily, and will dry more evenly. 3. Don't use watercolour brushes. They hold too much water. Use cheap brushes that are firm enough to have the control you need, but not so stiff that you reactivate and/or smear underlying layers. 4. Move your brush in one direction in a smooth light stroke. Try not to go back to an area until it's dry unless you want to go for a painterly look. Keep rewetting your brush slightly to offset the paint drying on the pallette. 5. Gouache is famous for having a very long ugly stage. If your painting looks horrible, it may just mean you gave up too soon or went too thick too fast. 6. Acrylic gouache may be different, but with regular gouache most artists add at least a bit of titanium white to their colours to make the paint easier to work with and to increase opacity. I bought a big tube of Windson and Newton and add a bit of it to the Himi paints when mixing my colours. It really helps with both how the paint feels when working and how it looks when it's dry.

@allisonh1408 2 жыл бұрын

I got this set for Christmas and I like them so far. However, I did some searching around reviews and prepared a bit before I used them. For the moment: 1. I kept the "lids" on them because they have the color names and keeps it from getting on the lid. I am also considering cutting a piece of wax or parchment paper to stick on top of them, getting rid of the lids, and writing the names of the colors on the paper. 2. keeping a small spray bottle around to mist the paints before I close the lid. 3. ALWAYS KEEP IT FLAT XD but aside from that, it's a lot of paint for the price to use for larger pieces!

Such a nice case for them, however really you can only travel with them unopened or wrap every paint container in plastic wrap.

Ive found with my Himi gouache, if you let them dry up just enough for them to thicken up a bit (like wait for the top layer to be a bit crusty) and then stir them they tend to behave more like a typical gouache

I say go for it! You can get the smaller set if you worry that gouache isn't your medium. I have had my set for over 2 years and still use it frequently. If ever you run out of a color in the set Himi actually has refills sachets or jelly pans.

I love my set as they really perform well, but are not at all light fast. So they are an affordable way to practice in my sketchbook and save the expensive light fast options for work i intend to display or sell .

I like using mine more like watercolors. I like that you can water them down or have them be extremely pigmented.

I have quite liked the Himi ganache, I have liked using it for more portrait painting, to get a more painterly style. Personally, I haven't had much luck using it for illustrations, but for portraits I have really enjoyed it. :)

If you want another 'professional' brand to try one day, I LOVE M. Graham gouache. Can be a little touch and go to find outside the US, but the color selection is lovely traditional fine art pigment based (natural hues....no neons, metallics, premixed variations of saturation and value like Holbein and W&N has). Has a lovely creamy consistency out of the tube because it uses northwest honey in the binder. Can take a few extra days for travel palettes to dry completely, although nowhere near the dry time of the 'pudding cup ' gouaches like Himi... Thanks for for the video. Cheers!

You can do the washes with gouache to.. it's literally opaque watercolour.. the point is to build up layers

I love watercolour and I love gouache. I dont like acrylics because it is harder to blend with them and they dry out pretty fast. They also dry shiny which I dont like. I like that they are opaque. So gouache is really nice because it is pretty much opaque watercolour - I mean it is not but it is. Lol, I even use my watercolour tubes sort of like gouache. and my gouache like watercolour. I mean mainly I do watercolour techniques and use them more opaquely where I need to. II use water based gouache and also water them down quite a bit but then layer and layer and layer. And they dont dry out if I am working on a piece for multiple days. Never tried Himi though. Its hella expensive for me.

I was wondering if you were gonna buy these! I was hoping you'd show you opening it tho 🤣 I remember how hard they are to open. I bought these a few years ago and I'm still not sure I like them, they're very messy, hard to open, and gloppy like you said, I tried putting them onto a smaller pan set and I found them very hard to rewet, and they get dirty very fast, and you go though the white like crazy, I honestly wish I spent a little more money and bought a smaller set of better paints. And now they're just setting in my cabinet because I hate using them 🤦🏻‍♀️

I really need an empty conteiner for any water based paints I buy in the future, and I am very tempted to buy this for this reason (and because in Brazil, the prices for imported empty palletes are absurd, like those nice acrylic ones for professionals). But I don't know if it's worth it, and if the box could have this function once I use all the himi paint (wich has a decent quality for me for now, since I am relearning how to paint, and have amost never used professional paints before) . I couldn't find anything similar to those acrylic boxes here, and I want to make my own gouache pallete with better paints once I get better at it again😥😩

as for the bag comment usually you leave the tray ontop as a protector And it usually is dried out by the time you go to put it in your bag so no paint spillage then you just grab the water color pens or whatever you use n some water n boom you set to go

Winsor & Newton does a lovely vibrant gouache, Royal Talens too, and I’ve heard Schmincke is good. I tried Daler Rowney and thought they were chalkier and duller. I don’t know why these are made with a jelly/gloopy consistency, but they’re ready mixed for students to save time in exams.

@sunakonakahara222 Жыл бұрын

Honestly my first introduction to gouache was Windsor & Newton and I must say for their primary set you get some good quality paint that moves like butter compared to the HIMI gouache. The jelly gouache gets the job done and does it well. I have only tried the Holbein pastel/neon blue and pink in watercolor and the pigment quality is top notch.

I really hated the smell of these paints. I have the smallest set and it still takes up a lot of room on the desk so they're not easy to use unless you take out the individual colors you plan to use, which is messy and inconvenient... I eventually gave the set away because I never used it and it began to get dry. I did manage to reactivate them by adding water and mixing them up.
