Thanks for sharing this collection. I have been eyeing this set for a while. Steve Mithchell (Mind of Watercolor) has an excellent video of his top 7 or 8 gouache brands that I think would be helpful. Also, Natasha Newton just posted a video of her lightfast testing of a large number of Holbein Acryla gouache colors. And, Kim Crick is an excellent source on lightfastness, so if you are not familiar with her channel or website, check it out.
Its cheaper if you're in Europe. Same goes with US brands which have ridiculous prices for Eu
Hi! Love your palette!! I think the ceramic one? Do you have a link for it? It's beautiful!
Yep! Here’s the link - caseformaking.com/products/wills-watercolor-wells-ceramic-palettes
do these rewet well? or are they less opaque when rewet?
They rewet well, they are less opaque when you rewet them vs. fresh out of the tube.
Gouaches have always been the underrated poor cousin of transparent watercolors but especially in recent decades. They were common and good quality prior to the 20th century, but sadly designers and the expediency of commercial art meant that gouache ranges became filled with what I call candy colors, most of which were very fugitive, and their were lots of cheap brands competing to have the brightest pinks and violets without thought about quality. It ended up giving gouaches a really bad name for not being good enough for serious art. I was one of those artists back in the 1980's using an airbrush. Back then Linel was the premium brand with the biggest range of colors. Winsor & Newton was the upstart trying to compete with the more popular brands. Schmincke paint was rarely seen. Their pastels were common but other art materials not so much outside Europe.
One of the best things to ever happen to Gouache was the digital revolution. Graphic design abandoned gouaches back in the 1990's and as a result the myriad cheap brands mostly disappeared and the best brands that survived were W&N and Schmincke. They could do that by appealing to fine artists. Both brands got rid of most of the more fugitive colors and average lightfastness dramatically increased. Sadly Linel seems to have shrunk, both in numbers of colors and availability. They were always brilliant for the fine-ness of their pigment grinding which made the colors look very nice, but they are now a shadow of their former self.
However, while ranges have dramatically shrunk, I love that colors tend to have mostly migrated back to the classic artist colors - cadmiums, cobalts, earth colors made from real earth pigments, etc. Colors that can be relied upon to not fade.
In the 18th and 19th century it was common to use gouache as well as transparent colors in watercolors. Back then they tended to call gouache 'body color.' It is a pity that somehow, during the 20th century artists developed an aversion to using them together, and these days people mostly have gouache OR watercolor, and not both. That is too limiting for me.
Love gouaches.
Thanks for all this info. My first job as a graphic designer, there was one designer using watercolor and gouache, mainly for illustrating technical plans and it just amazed me. His work looked so much better than what a computer could do. Thanks for this it's super helpful. I love learning more.
