- Hope I don’t get cancelled for this... 👀
If I do it’d be worth it though because I’m currently in love w gouache again!
ALSO JUST WANNA SAY: I’m FULLY aware that my issues with the Miya Himi gouache set may seem “trivial” since gouache is rewettable, etc. but they affected my workflow and made me genuinely hate gouache this summer 😂 I’m one of those artists that really prefer fresh gouache over rewetting dry gouache. I’m just really glad that it isn’t all going to waste since I’m reusing them in the new palette! I don’t really notice any paint quality issues it’s more of a setup and palette quality issue for me.
Anyways thanks for reading all that, and I’ll see you hopefully in the next video!

It dried because the paints weren’t cared for properly. If you spray them with distilled water once a week out of a little spray bottle, they maintain their consistency for a very long time. I’m mostly making this comment so that people who recently bought the himi gouache aren’t so discouraged by these complaints that are completely preventable.
i’ve had the himi miya gouache set for a while now, and i didn’t really have any problem with it. i use it like, every other day and so far it hasn’t dried out for me. though i do spray it with water before and after everytime i use it, and once a month i just mix it around with a toothpick if the edges are a little dry. also, i heard that its 44 dollars in other countries and can i just say- w h a t ? i got it for only 18 dollars here in ph and holy jeez. this set is good in my opinion, but thats too expensive imo
This is made for Chinese art university students who need to paint A LOT EVERYDAY. They also cant be bothered to mix so they also need to have a loooooot of premade colors at their disposal. You are not the market for this product nor am I.
Its purpose is for art students who needed easily accessible paint for school and exams. Every single aspect of it is catered towards that. So obviously if it's not used in the way it was intended for, then it's not going to work out. 🤷🏻♀️ That's like using korean makeup (which is extremely sheer bc korean makeup is meant to be more natural) and expecting it to work like full coverage makeup that westerners like.
I gotta say, calling your palette cheaper when the turner gouache you're using is 20$-30$ for a set plus the cost of the palette you're using is... an interesting choice.
Himi is average in terms of quality but in my country because we have better economic relations with China, it cost only 14 dollars. While one turner tube can cost me 1 dollar.
U can buy, himi miya spray moisturizer for 14 US dollars in shopee or lazada. Which with one spray, it can turn you dry paints, back to new. Just sharing.
I mean if you don't like the himi gouache set will be more than happy
I understand your opinion! But sometimes, I think we all forget that they’re like school-friendly paints. (I forgot the word 😂 but it’s basically mostly for school, like crayola). I don’t think it’s really worth 30-50 Canadian dollars though. It’s quite expensive in my opinion. I think that if you’re a beginner or like using bright vivid colours, then go for it! I also think that it is better for illustrators! So yeah, that’s just my opinion! But u totally understand yours too!
It always seems Canadians have it the worst when it comes to price D:
Tbh I bought the himi gouache to learn to be less precious with my paint.
Hello, hello! For those of you thinking about buying this set, it's definitely worth it. If it's not overpriced in your country of course. In my country, the 18 color set went from $16 to as less than $6, in maybe I think a year or less. Yes, $6 like wow, it's more than worth it. It's
Have these time stamps!!
HI!! So I was a bit unclear about a few things in the video! PLEASE read this if you want a clearer explanation🙏❤️:
My two cents: if you dig having something for ease of use and travel, then a mixing your own palette is the way to go. For those that prefer working with wet gouache ,straight from the tube is the way to go as mixing a small palette with a quick drying medium isn't going to stay wet for long. I mix my own gouache palette with my good paints, but I have to add vegetable glycerin to the mix to keep it from crumbling but it in no way keeps my pans wet. Working with it dry is def an option as it recativates like watercolor, but it's not the same as working with it from the tube.
Just spritz water everyday and they'll stay the same. I have mine fore 2 months now and they are still as good as new.
Ooooohhhh please do a review on arteza gouache . I'm so happy to find another Canadian who understands the Canadian price issues, and I'm not sure if I trust the arteza brand because it seems everyone is sponsored or trying to get sponsored.
I personally really enjoy these paints however I wanted to watch the video to see the other side and I do see your points and respect your perspective!
I appreciate how genuine and real you are
I usually just scoop out with a palette knife, the colors I want to use onto my palette, so then there's no contaminating the cups.
