You're so right!

me too :o)

Thanks so much 😊

Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thanks so much! 😊

Haha yea it is VERY satisfying 😄

I thought exactly the same thing.

Thank you for letting me know :D

That is so nice to hear! Thank you :) Yea, the big-brush-trick was a game changer for me.

Thank you so very much for your kind words! This was so nice to wake up to 😊

Thanks Patricia!

Gouache is opaque so you can’t quite achieve the same thing.

Thanks! Honestly don’t remember

Thank you :) Nope I don't do any of that. Either it's in my sketchbook as a study, in a drawer for storage, or it's framed behind glass.

It's Masterson Sta-Wet palette paper

I feel you. But honestly painting with gouache often feels like painting with oils as it blends, except it dries faster. If you work wet into wet it feels so similar. Go check out Mike Hernandez (squatchgouache on Instagram) and you'll see how it looks like oil too!

It's a piece of acrylic palette paper, underneath is a thin wet sponge

If you check out my most recent gouache videos you can see I use a sealed gouache palette now, it’s much more convenient. But yea sometimes I use a tray with gouache from the tube, especially if it’s a limited palette

If it dries completely I will replace the colors. But I can enclose the sponge and colors in a sealable palette and save them for days.

Not at all, never bothered me

In my experience, gouache doesn’t do well on a surface that is shiny / glossy at all. So if the canvas paper is matte or has some tooth to it, I’m sure it would be fine!

Sorry!! I had to edit one little bit because of an audio issue.

No problem at all, I just concentrated! These how-tos, especially gouache, are priceless! Thx🙏🏻

Its the Sta-Wet palette paper for acrylics.

@@SarahBurnsStudio Thank you Sarah!

That's wonderful to hear Toni! I got my paints from an art store in Denver called Meininger. It's like a candy store for artists! They even let you try stuff out before you buy it. I will point out that after using the holbeins for over a year, I am starting to shift away from them. The older they get the more "stiff" they get right out of the tube. They are extremely opaque but I worry about their shelf life. I have a few W&N colors that so far are staying very creamy. I haven't tried any other brands and I'm curious about them.

@@SarahBurnsStudio I used Windsor and Newton for years, years ago when I painted birds in gouache. Loved it. Moved on to other mediums, acrylic and oil, and eventually they all dried out, but it took some time to do so!!

Because it’s an incredibly thin, non sticky membrane

Thank you! I use the Sta-Wet sponge and acrylic palette paper. I have also seen some people use damp paper towels but those get a little too runny/messy for my taste.

@@SarahBurnsStudio thank you - must try that out. so far I've been using just my palette and a piece of watercolour 'waste' paper to try out the colour and adjust moisture before applying. This looks neat.

What did it sound like? Haha I can’t remember

@@SarahBurnsStudio you mention them here @9:35! Mike harnandas? 😅

@@SarahBurnsStudio is it Mike Hernandez??

Oh yes! He's amazing. Mike Hernandez. He goes by Squatchgouache on instagram

@@SarahBurnsStudio thank you ☺️

Just a tray with a Sta-wet sponge and palette paper

@@SarahBurnsStudio okay , thanks

I usually use zinc white to mix with and titanium white for final brights

I've used the blue tape for years, on nearly every type of paper. It doesn't rip it. With most tapes, you have to wait for the paper to 100% dry before removing, and if it still rips it, try using a hairdryer to heat it up before peeling.

@@SarahBurnsStudio thank you very much Sarah! 🖤
