So, I totally forgot to mention that Arteza created the coupon code "arleebean3" for you guys to get 10% off your order on their website, if you're interested. I'm a bit rusty at this, guys. xD

'You focused, and didn't do anything wrong, they're perfect' - sweet kid AWE I totally agree with her very much so!!!

Artesza is the only gouache that I ever had until recently I bought that designer gouache by Windsor and Newton oh my God I didn’t Know gouache could be so clear and beautiful but Arteza has served me well in my learning

Your kid Just melt my heart, I love your work and I take as an inspiration on my on watercolor paintins. Thank you, lots of love from Brazil 🇧🇷

Cheep paints give you the freedom to really just use it. I am very aware of the money I spend and if I have something super nice I can’t use it unless it’s for something important. So studying with less expensive paints can really give you the freedom to understand your personal techniques without breaking the bank.

I actually like the "chalky" texture of the brush strokes, I think it may work better in some subject matter than others, but with the portrait it gives it an interesting texture

I have never used gouache, but the review seemed fair. I prefer having lots of pre-mixed colors so I can just paint without the hassle. Watercolors are produced by grinding pigments into chalks. The more refined the milling process, the less granulation in the washes. I have read that brush strokes are visible in some of the historical masterpiece watercolor paintings. Maybe some chalkiness in the painting is actually painting like the masters? If you limit yourself to a few expensive single pigment primary colors; you are going to go through a few colors faster, mix too little to finish a section, mix too much and waste paint, or mix incorrectly until you find the right color value you are searching for. Anyway, the reviewer artist made some very professional looking paintings in the video with Arteza gouache. Nice work!

Arteza sent me their 60 tube gouache set to review on Instagram, so I loved watching this video and hearing your thoughts about it! From what I’ve done so far, which was swatches of all of the tubes and a few practice sketches, I totally agree with everything you have to say. Holbein artists gouache is the only brand I’ve ever used, so I’m not familiar with other student grade gouache paints. The Arteza gouache paints work and are not streaky, but they are not as pigmented. When it comes to the tube colors and pigments included in the set, they did not include phthalo blue, their Prussian blue is a good substitute, but that just seems like an odd color to leave out!Compared to their smaller sets, the extra tubes in the 60 set aren’t useful to me, they are mostly pre-mixed pastels that are not ideal for mixing, they are just dull. It’s also difficult to get dark colors since so many tubes have white mixed in, it would have been nice to see pre-mixed darks. They dry hard, so it’s best used straight from the tube. They are great for practicing and for those who want to start out, since they are fairly inexpensive, or even to those who like pre-mixed colors. Inexpensive supplies definitely make me feel less pressured to make “good” art which is good for experimentation! This is just my first impression, still have to play around a bit and write my “official” review.

Thank you for letting us know that there are a total of only 18 pigments used in the set because I currently have the 24ct one, and I wanted this 60ct one, however this makes me think twice abt that and be more motivated to mix my own colors.💕

Your kid is adorable. I agree with your conclusion that both have their appeal. Having a large variety does cut down the time to mix. But having a smaller set also helps people with learning color mixing. Great video as always. Muahhugs

Aww your little peanut’s praises melted my heart! What a cutie! Loved your review and seeing you use the products! Thank you!

Arteza is good paint for learning... its all i currently own but I've tried higher quality gouache before. it serves its purpose the colors are nice and the single pigments (the set i own) mixes really nicely. I haven't noticed too much chalkiness but maybe im used to it. However like Arlee said my biggest peeve about these paints is how much of them you have to use to cover a big area. im doing my csec (gcse) so my pieces have to be a certain size and omg, i feel like im just wasting sooooo much paint.

I love the premier thingy, it gave me someting to look forward to! Your kid is awesome telling you that you are really focussed, so sweet! I personally loved the last painting you did, she looked so... i dont know... relaxed. The colors really matched the portrait and the feel of the portrait. xxx

I love your portrait style. I’ve been considering the arteza gouache, so seeing it in action is so helpful. I think it’s perfect for someone like me who’s a hobbiest rather than a professional.

Can I just say, I always love how impressionistic your strokes start out, and then you only need to define them a little bit before they look beautiful!

Your voice is so soothing and I love your art

I just want to say this video is how I found your wonderful channel. I got a set of Arteza gouache this Christmas and was excited to test them out and see what other people could make with them. I've since binge-watched a ton of your videos while doing my own painting. You offer great advice, your art is stunning and it really inspires me to work harder on my own.

OH MY GOD IVE LITERALLY BEEN HOPING AND PRAYING YOUD DO A GOUCHE REVIEW AND ITS ARTEZAS AND ITS THE FIRST VIDEO BACK AHHHH IM SO EXCITED ❤️❤️

I really missed your videos !!! These paintings were so amazing Arlee

Thank you for the inspiration with your loose “without sketch” beginnings, and I love your style. I have their 24 and was curious about the 60 set. Love the limited palette trays laid out. So pleasing! Keep it up!

Watching you block the rough colors in was very therapeutic, almost like a Bob Ross episode! (Also the ending commentary by the kid made me smile)

I've been on the fence with the set going in and out of my cart about 5 times this week. You kind of pushed me over the edge and I picked it up. I'm really inspired to learn to paint portraits like what you're doing.

every time I look at your work. my mind is just blown, my breaths just get softer. and I find my self just pausing so often to admire your work.you are one probably my favorite artist. I hope my work turns into as great as yours. you are very inspiring, NEVER FORGET THAT.

Really nice review. The best of the arteza 60 i saw so far ❤️

Awww!! Love how the kid loves all of your work!!

Enjoyed this video as always, and particularly enjoyed the premier! I've been tempted by super large sets of paint so I can work faster (without mixing), but I kinda like the slight inconsistency of mixed colors.

I love that kid at the end, so wholesome.

this is great!! I love your portraits! I love the colors you chose for them .

I will be getting the 24 set because I want to mix. Thank you for the wonderful video. It helped me make my final decision on buying it.

I have loved watch your videos, you are so informative and do awesome reviews, but the ending with with your little art critics was the best part! The sounded so adorable!!!

I liked both things in your video. The beautiful portraits. And the honest presentation of Arteza gouache paints. I like them too. I bought the earth palette. I wondered a bit why they sell those theme grouped sets. But now I understand better the possible idea behind. Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts. 💖

Love seeing the colorful paintings!

I love your reviews and I love your kids!!! They're always so sweet!! Great video, as always! :D

I just purchased this set. Since I am new to gouache I wanted to explore more without any pressure of using expensive stuff. Thanks for the video. :)

Aughhhh your kids’ interactions with you are always so sweet :,) I would agree that the paintings are gorgeous, hehe

Welcome to another video?! Oh my gosh, you’re such a good host!!!! Yaaaaay!!

Your little kid is a doll!! What a sweet kind little one 💗 I enjoyed watching you work very much .. I’ve been playing with the 24 color set and find that it is plenty .. I wanted to try reasonably priced gouache before I go and invest in more expensive artists grade gouache ( I’ve been basically a watercolorist all my life and wasn’t feeling too secure about trying gouache ) .. I think arteza is great value , and great way to play with new medium and just get comfy with it . I finally caved and bought a set of Holbein . They’re a pleasure to work with , but there is that “ thing” of holding back , when you spend bigger bucks on supplies .. that silly “ precious” factor lolol I’m trying to get past that :-)))) Loved your video , and your work and the voice of your little one at the end;-)))) thanks ... Nora :-)

My goodness you’re so talentedddddd

I actually really loved the purple in your painting, I think it suited it well :)!

Such an amazing video! In both gouache and oil I like to make use of single-pigment colors and also pure transparent colors. I like having the option to mix a color I want without it getting muddy. However, as long as I have those staples I also use convenience colors with multiple pigments. As long as I remember it’s meant to be muddy and don’t try to go back to saturation with it then it’s fine. Half the time I’m trying to make colors MORE muddy anyway. I especially find convenience colors helpful for slightly adjusting puddles of paint I’ve mixed. Like if a skin tone I’ve mixed is too warm I’d rather mix a “sky blue” in than “ultramarine” because sky blue is the same pigment already tempered with white. It’s less likely that I’ll add too much blue. However I would never use sky blue mixed with black if I want a rich dark blue- I would instead get a mid grey. Anyway- I’m obsessed with the portraits you’ve done here 😍 I feel like you’re hitting some kind of breakthrough. I can’t wait to see how you return to watercolor after this. I would love to see you do some extreme contrast between very pure transparent watercolor washes (maybe in the shadows) and very built up opaque gouache on the same portrait - ok not telling you what to do I just get excited 😂

I'm impressed with the info ARTEZA provides....

I just discovered your account. It's so calming and I love how you paint portraits without even sketching it

please do more paintings in this style, it inspires me so much I love it!!!

I loved this! And your voice is so relaxing.

I just got a huge range of gouache and this tip is absolutely useful. thank you!!

I LOVE YOU OMG I AM SO HAPPY YOU UPLOADED OMG

OMG your kid at the end. Soooo adorable!

oooh so excited!

Omg the ending was so cutee

I really enjoyed watching this!

your voice is soooo soothing 😍

I'm just in love with the painting at the end of the video *__*

"Talking about things that haven't happened yet" cracked me up - needed that laugh. Thank you!

that blue one is gorgeous!! And your kid is so cute and positive

These portraits are incredibly beautiful!!! :O

i own a completely different brand of gouache but i just wanted to say that even tho the brand in this video isnt relevant to me i learned so much about using gouache just from watching you paint, thank you so much❤️

nice! i recently got this 60 set and i love it!

awww your kid is so sweet

Ive been interested in getting into gouache and this really helped thank you!

I love the encouraging child ❤️😍.

Aww the ending is so cute

Loved this video and the studies You made ,So motivating and inspiring 😍makes me want to grab some gouache now !!👌

Adorable ending to this video!

Love your paintings!!!!!!

The last portrait you did have blue-like colors but salmon pink could be so beautiful to create brightness

Aaaaahhhh I’m so happy to be watching one of your videos!!!!!! These gouache portraits are beautiful!! I feel like for me, the 60 color set *would* be really good, even though they’re reusing pigments that much, because I’ve found it hard to mix gouache colors?? (Just personally) The more I mix, the more water I add incidentally, and the harder it is for me to maintain a thicker color! Maybe that’s just me though......... the reason I stopped using gouache very much was actually because my color selection was super limited, because I bought just a few tubes that were artist quality with the intention of mixing them, and then they just didn’t work great together..... 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️ This is definitely a set I’ve been looking at to give me more variety to go along with what I already own, so I’m really glad to hear your take on it ☺️😄💞

I’m just fell in love with you and your style and your talent... ❤️

Oh my god, your kid’s voice makes me think of Lucas the spider, it’s so cute! And what a sweetheart! Loved the review btw, I love every video containing Arteza supplies!

i got into GOUACHE because i really loved the way you used them, i even attempted to paint with you on few occasions but it is a bit hard to do so because of the different angles and the editing. if you don't mind i would really like to do a proper painting

I do a lot of direct gouache paintings, with no sketch first. They just look so much better imo, with more personality.

I like experimenting with fauvist inspired work and using bold colors, sometimes right out of the tube, so I might save for it. Idk. Thank you for the awesome video!

I've always thought that "Arteza" made the most sense if it's pronounced as close to "artisan" as possible. So, that's what I do, at least in my head! ^^ I enjoyed this review. I have a pretty limited storage space (one corner of my apartment, tucked behind the table which we also eat at and which is already basically in the living room!) so I'm all about a small number of paints that I can mix myself. Maybe, one day, when we live somewhere larger the larger sets will have a place in my life, but for right now I try to build my stash slowly and with a lot of mindfulness about what mixes I can do myself. ^^

CANT WAITTT

yayy i missed you

Oh my God I JUST bought this on amazon!

Omg your child at the end 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

I have the metallic gouache set (which I love because it makes your water look like a disco hehe) but it’s also cool to see the colors in there! I also would recommend (personally) just buy the 60 set because you get the colors from the metallic and 24 paint set in there with other additional colors! Edit: also, arteza gouache is pretty affordable with good paints to learn with!!

I missed youuu aN D the portraits look great;;

Wow you're an amazing artist

The price of this set is amazing! Really accessible for those in a lower budget!

Beautifull!!!

You are amazing!!

i prefer using less colours in a palette so I can learn about colour mixing, and what works. my current watercolour palette only has 12 colours, and i really love it! i can get any colour that i want with it, especially after i made a mixing chart for it

I actually really liked the purple in that one piece and thought it looked really good. But I also really like purple so- to each their own. You do you, girl, but just know it didn’t look bad by any means. 💖☺️

really like the idea of using the colors to build a limited palette! however i could never see myself buying that many in a single set; i feel like 24 is just the right amount to feel like I have a lot of options but not be overwhelmed. and then i'd rather buy specialty/convenience colors individually so i can pick ones i really want :)

i love the purple in this, dont see what wrong :)

You are amazing!😊

I’m thinking of getting those paints

I love purple in a painting or portret

WHY ARE YOU SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the Arteza 60 set of watercolors and the 24 set of gouache. The watercolors are also very chalky and most are semi transparent and opaque already, so I work with them with the gouache. I essentially have myself another 60 set of semi-premixed gouache colors.

Oh my god your kiddo at the end 😍😭😭

I really tried to recreate ur girl drawing but it turned out quiet scary it's my second time painting whit gouache so I wasn't surprised 😩😂 u make it look so easy to paint u do it flawlessly

I really really love your videos but the premiere thing kills me because it just sits in my subscription box teasing me

I have enough basic liquitex acrylic paint to do both😁👍🏽👩‍🎨👋🏾 i love you,re drawings and paintings

I got a 24 color set on sale some time ago and I find it to be more than enough. And I say this as someone who's a bit lazy when it comes to mixing colors :p

That thumbnail 👌

I would get the smaller set but the 60 set is still a good idea because of the building pallet thing.

THE AUDIO OF THE KID AT THE END IS SO CUTE

nice video my friend, love!
