Look at this giant box of paint. This is.. it's
60 gouache colors.
That's what this says.
60 gouache colors.
And today we're gonna paint with it, and I'm so excited because as you guys know,
I love gouache. So let's do an unboxing. Shall we? Yeah
Guys there's like
Swatches all over this box
They're on the back. They're everywhere.
I don't really know what I'm gonna paint but I have been wanting to use these for so long
So we're gonna roll with it today. I have all these paint palettes.
One can never have enough palettes and uh, there's 60 colors are we gonna use all 60 colors today?
That'd be a lot. That would be a lot of paint. dude this box is so big.
I have like a a paint hat a paint box hat.
I need to calm down. I'm just really excited for this my goodness guys
What in the world? Each tray is like a fun little color family! I'm so excited
Look at this. This is like all the whites and
grays, then we have
the yellowy ones with one - one lime color doesn't hurt. Wow. Oh
I never have enough like - oh
I'm getting ahead of myself. Here's some green
Here's some like purples and mauves. This is wild, guys this is so cool.
I'll be honest with you guys. I don't really enjoy mixing gouache
because if you run out of your color for some reason with gouaches
it's like so hard to get that color again for me
Anyway, maybe other people don't have that issue, but this is nice cuz I mean 60 colours girl
Yes, I have used Arteza's gouache quite a bit in the past I really really like it especially for the price point
so
Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it and I'm working with them actually
So they did sponsor today's video and send me the 60 set. I'm really excited about this.
Really thankful that they did that.
So thank you Arteza for sponsoring this, and since they're sponsoring this, I get to give you guys a coupon
for a really good discount on their website. So take advantage of that. I will link everything
I'm using down below too because I
Really like their paper. They have 100% cotton paper and it it has a nice texture to it.
It's not like too rough, but not too smooth. So let's paint!
Let's come up with something like fun and festive. I don't know. I don't know. Let's figure out what we're gonna do. Okay?
Okay, it might be a little hard to see this but I
Decided something really whimsical and gouache brings out that like folky art style for me
So we're rolling with it. This is kind of the color palette. I'm going with
Some of these colors I might dull them a bit. We'll see. We'll toy with it. One of them is metallic. I didn't know until I actually
Put it in there
Let's do the background first. I penciled on everything as I said
Kind of what it looks like. There's so many little playful
Foxes around this old looking teapot. Let's mix some paint. We're gonna do a light
pink background
All right, so we are on day two
I don't know, I think most of these actually did kind of
Retain some moisture overnight
so I have the background done and a few of the plant sprigs and
I'm just gonna go over some thoughts on the gouache. I've been using it for about a year and a half. I
have the
24 pack I believe.
Yeah, 24 pack. I'm pretty sure they only offer premium gouache on their website.
The quality of their paint is really outstanding for the price point. For
the 60 set of gouache, it's
$49.99. If you do the math
that comes out to about 83 cents in US dollars per
tube so that's really great. A few other things I'm gonna mention - because people ask these questions a lot
so I just want to address them - is
well, first of all, this video is sponsored, but they are not telling me what to say about their products.
They give me the freedom to do that.
So with that being said
the coverage is
excellent. I I sometimes I don't even dilute stuff with water and I build up texture. I did that in the background
there's some like strokes that are
built up. So if you do like texture, that's great.
But if you dilute it the coverage is also really great. This green here is diluted
It covered very well
and actually covered some of this pink when I was filling it in so
Those are my two cents.
Something that I wish
they would do on their website is
- Or with this set -
This tube of white is very small. It's 12 milliliters just like all the other tubes
But the thing is, is I add white to like every single color so
This could be improved if they have like a huge tube of white gouache
sold separately on their site or like a huge tube just
included with their sets I would like to see something more like
36 or 48 milliliters for a tube of white. Now with that being said, that they do have
Two tubes of white in this set one is just white and the other is titanium white
but still I think
There needs to be a lot more white. I
Paint with a lot of light colors and stuff. Yeah. Hmm
I'm gonna add this pale yellow to my thing and i'm gonna use it for the
foxes! How cute! Let's continue filling stuff in today -what?
What?
Suddenly there was green all over my fingers. If I had to rate this set though
I would definitely give it a nine point five out of ten
just because I want more white in the set, but everything else is great.
I can't complain and the 60 set actually comes with the metallic colors too. So
That's nice
I
Wanted to do more of like a orange and blue color scheme
but then as I started
Painting this. I don't know. It just felt fitting
To do like these burgundy colors and pinks
You guys ever do that? Like you start a project and then
Once you start to actually give it color
You've completely change your mind from what you started with?
Is it just me? I don't know. I mean I was like so set on orange in blue and I kid you not
like the moment
My brush touched this paper for the background. I was like nah.
Like these leaves though it really the color just brings out fall
All right, we're going in the center with this I'm a little nervous but I want to do some sweet designs. So we're just gonna roll with it.
Get some contrast up in here.
Let's do some little berrie. How about it? As all this darkness dries.
And we're switching to a smaller brush. Right now, because this is ridiculous.
Ooh
The berries are done
Wow, okay. This is starting to move along
I'm pretty much blocking and covered and before we get on the shading. So if you're like, wow, this is boring
You're not doing much
Hang in there
It'll uh - it'll change soon.
We're starting to fill in the Foxes, I feel like the color scheme has finally come into life here
For a while, I was second-guessing things. Since I didn't go with my initial plan
But now, I'm really happy this is I
Think this is more logical for my theme here. We'll see
Really liking this color scheme, it has me so
excited for fall
I'm
Trying to watch how much I say that because I know I've said it in my past
Probably four videos. I
I absolutely love using gouache
For those of you who aren't familiar with it
imagine watercolor
That you can layer layer colors over it's more opaque
it's it's so pretty when you just do flat solid colors and
You can do so much with it. You can make it thick like, how am I doing now?
you can really thin it out to the point where it almost looks like watercolor a
Little bit goes a long way
By the way guys I have to tell you something
I am so excited because
I Haven't actually talked about us for a while, but I'll catch you guys up on a lot of things in life. I suppose
So if I mixed that with white oh, I like this color
So my computer has been dying and I don't know if you've noticed but I have had to cut back on
The way I edit I've been cutting back. I like the double cameras and
changing angles and stuff a lot because
My computer was dying and it just couldn't handle
Those files anymore. It was just not
Keeping up everything was crashing. It was a headache and I was severely bottlenecked. I
Could film a bunch of videos and they would just never hit YouTube because my computer couldn't edit them
so
About two or three weeks ago. I ordered a MacBook Pro because I use an iMac right now and
We took it in
to this Apple repair place. They couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. And unfortunately the iMac that I had
Was like the lowest of the low so you couldn't add RAM or like and stuff to it. Really.
So what we ended up doing was getting a MacBook Pro and I
Pretty much maxed all the specs on it. So it took a while for it to actually come here
It finally here. So I get to edit this video with my new computer
So with that being said
We are going back to
Two videos a week. Definitely I
Mentioned this in the past and then my computer like couldn't keep up with it. So I
Have been doing one a week
But you know one a week just isn't enough for me I really like what I do this is my full-time job
And I I want to do more than that
We have the floral part done on the teapot.
That took forever guys.
I think that alone took an hourish or so. I don't remember I
might outline
this white part some more
Right now there's like some periwinkle paint around it but it doesn't stand out quite as much as I want
we'll see I
Think I really enjoy doing
like botanical folk art like this every now and then because
It's kind of a mindless activity
compared to more like realistic drawings
It's more time consuming
Surprisingly just because all these fine details and lines
Even though it's not shading
But it's really enjoyable to just do this sometimes and switch things up. I
Have always been one to say that It's just so hard for me to commit to a certain style or
Look, that's why I'm always just going back and forth
between a bunch of different things
All right, we are finished I
Did a lot of the tiny line work off-camera just to make it easier on me
ii leaned in close, but I put some details some little fox tails and
I outlined the entire kettle with pink just make it pop a little more in the distance. I thought that helped a lot
So yeah, some of these leaves are not outlined and that's just to add some
low, but not
Draw too much attention to them
But if you want to binge more stuff, I would love it if you would click this playlist right here
that will keep your adventure rolling and
We can have a good time. You can dive into the rabbit hole. Okay. Have a good day. Bye!
