I got the arrtx brand one and have had quite the pickle with the mold growth even with a bunch of suggestions, including adding honey! (which brought back the beautiful jelly texture to my set and has decreased the amount of mold significantly thankfully) since my palette portion inside warped from use, I also noticed taking it out has helped the seal significantly.
You don't need to scrape the top off, it reconstitutes as well. I let mine dry out for over a year and they were completely dried throughout. I had to let them soak for around two hours and then spent another 4 hours adding more water and stirring them with a palette knife.
@@lamiakamal1116 it depends on the amount of paint you have in the cup + the amount of contaminating paint. For example, if you only had a quarter of white left in a cup, along with bits of reds and yellows in it, the white color may shift a bit warm when you mix it. Or, if you had over half a cup of Lemon Yellow with some little bits of blue and green in it, you'll still have a virtually unchanged Lemon yellow after mixing.
Greetings from Kuwait👸🏻🌹🇰🇼 Kindly make a tutorial on how to choose the best paper & brushes for Water coloring & Gouache, I used Visual Journal 90lb watercolor with synthetic brushes but unfortunately the paper get wrinkly (( even though I was careful not to use much water!!
I prefer 300gsm paper for gouache, but 165gsm does also work. But like you said the paper is more likely to get wrinkly. As for brushes, I like round ones that come to a pointed tip. You can find the ones I use the most listed in the description :)
1:55 I noticed that too! I'm pretty new to gouache and I don't know how to keep them moist the best way. But some of my colours (especially the red and green) dry out sooo fast! I have to wet them every day twice and they would still crack! :c do you have any tips? 💕
It's most likely just the pigment concentration. In my gouache set the black is always hydrated while teh green always dries out. I think to keep them nice and hydrated would be to mist and mix the paints before you start, or doing it on a weekly basis. Hope that helps!
Totally still revivable! That's the great thing about gouache; even if there's no moisture left at all it can still be revived. When I've done it, I've just let water sit on the paint overnight, then broke it up with a palette knife the next day. I add more water gradually after that as it all gets mixed together. Unless the top layer of your gouache is totally contaminated, there's no need to chuck it just because it's too dry; it just takes a little extra time.
Nope! It's just replacing the water that has evaporated over time. If you add far too much water then yes, you can dilute it, but it's the same as if you add water to fresh gouache straight out of a new tub. I personally add a little water at a time when reviving the paint after I've made the dried chunks softer, to make sure I don't make it too thin.
I had a box of this stuff I hadn't touched in almost a year. then I saw this video, revived my paints, and now I've made about a dozen paintings!
Himi gouache revived along with this beautiful channel! Can't wait for future videos 🤩

have you tried using the miya himi mildew spray? I've found it works really well for gouache that I squeeze into a palette
So inspiring, you're making me want to paint again!
This video has really inspired me to paint with my gouache again! :D
You make it look easy..painting with Gouche..

does that mean the colour value wont change wont contaminate and we will still get fresh?

@@atulkaul2970 thank you so much, I'll do that!
Maybe if u don't use them regularly, spray the colours with quite a bit of water and keep the pallet in a ziplock bag.
@@parulpatel9179 the zipper bag is a perfect idea, thank you so much!
@@Mulpiix no worries. Ur comment actually reminded me to check up on my pallet after a year 😭😂
Daft question. where are you getting the screen caps from? I've forgotten the site name :(. Both the paint revive and the painting are awesome
I just screenshot it from the movie on Netflix 😂
Mine is hard like a rock cuz I haven’t used it for like half here🥲
Oh noo, I hope you can still revive it 😂

What water do you use to spray the footage because people say if you use tap water it will start to mold
What water do you use? And prevention for mold
Hello, I’m new to gouche painting. May I ask how you guys usually clean up the colors that were mixed up a bit in the white color container?
How did you do the part at 3:25?
🧑🏽🎨 hello👋🏻
Hello can you plz tell what type of water did you use? Was it boiled water or distilled water?
just tap water!
@@JessChungArt RLLY BUT doesn't that causes molds to grow? 😥 I'm confused but I guess I'll try tap water then 😅
@@bujofm I haven’t had any mould issues with tap water
@@JessChungArt Oh ok thank you for the help 🥰. I'm a beginner at gouache and your tutorials using Himi Gouache are really helpful. Thanks again 🤍
Does this method not dilute the gouache?
Nope! It's just replacing the water that has evaporated over time. If you add far too much water then yes, you can dilute it, but it's the same as if you add water to fresh gouache straight out of a new tub. I personally add a little water at a time when reviving the paint after I've made the dried chunks softer, to make sure I don't make it too thin.
Actually even if all of them are dried out it can still be re-usable
Mine dries out like rock hard in just 1 week. Does that mean I bought a fake one?
Hi🥰
