Could it be because the packaging resembles those little single serving jelly packages that you get with biscuits.
I think the nickname âjelly gouacheâ came from the kids snacks (of which there are so many varieties of them around the world) of jelly or jello in a small plastic cup similar to the how HIMI packages their paints, where you pull off the plastic top and just dig in. Now I think a lot of people donât know where the nickname came from and just assume itâs a different type of gouache or thatâs actual name for it but really itâs just gouache in a tub
Ohh that makes sense!
Exactly. We used to buy giant plastic bears that were full of jelly cups that look like those.
Also this paint is pretty decent. I use it for practic paintings.
@@AlpayEfe I looked into it and its called jelly gouache because the cups look like jelly cups! The only real difference is the amount of paint since the cups are able to hold more than the tubes of gouache.
I'm a bit disappointed, I kind of liked the idea of a jelly-like paint
Our childhood desert here in the Philippines đ
Its called jelly gouache because it looks like cups of jelly that are sold in a bundle in those little square cups. They are very tasty.
Indeed
Hehe, at first... when I read your comment I thought that jelly gouache is very tasty... then I read it again and I was like... owwww I seeđ
I just thought of something
what if your having a sandwich and pudding for lunch and your like âok time to eat the pudding and start my painting â so you accidentally take a spoon of the paint and paint with the puddingđâ ïž
Thatâs what I was thinking
Yes. I too find jelly gouache very tasty.
I would like to see an update for when the set is older and the paints in the cups are dried. Weather they are still good to use then and such things
ive had mine for a year now and some of them had dried out. they are (obviously) not jelly anymore but when you add some water they work exactly the same. in that case i use them like watercolors, using water and adding the paints onto a palette and when you paint with them, its the same as any gouache only it is probably less opaque. but the white paint, which i use basically everytime, isnt that dry, it seems like it keeps the consistency probably because i add water frequently. also, some of them are less dry than the other, some are (most of them) still jelly, only some seem to be completely dried
by âjellyâ i obv mean they have the consistency of a typical guoache
My solution is to just mist them after each use and ive had mine for since july and none had dried out
himi have a special mist to use for that exact reason
I too have a couple sets of jelly gouache. Even if they dry out you can add water, let them sit, and get them back to their original state. I actually love my sets!
Even if you have the original art in hand, you will never have the most satisfying privilege that only the artist can have: taking off the tape.
That's so true! đâš
Ever used the wrong tape and torn the paper when you take it off? Its a riot.
@@carlingram1003 I have a serious trauma about it đą
@@pacocoelho same lol. Or you pull the tape off and the paint has bled underneath it đ
@@carlingram1003 Too many times. đđą
I looked into them a whole ago and found theyâre originally designed for students who need to save time in exams so they donât need to mix all the colours. Iâve seen a lot of people dipping into the cups without washing their brushes, they do look a mess that way. Your painting looks so good, lots of depth in the shadows.
Exactly. These paints are very popular among Chinese students who want to get into artschool. They only have limited time to paint their paintings in a very competitive entrance exam and therefore need the paints to be in pots. They also are cheap enough for students to buy.
Itâs nice to see someone actually use this gouache like gouache and gradually build up layers from thin to thick. In a lot of the review videos I watched on this brand, the artists were taking huge globs of paint and applying it thickly to the paper like hard bodied acrylic paint.
If I remember correctly, gouache will actually crack if applied too thickly, because it isnât flexible like acrylic paint.
Also, hereâs my caption: âIf this cat bus goes under 50mph, itâll explode.â
Gouache is a medium between acrylic and watercolor, every artist utilizes it differently. Some are comfortable doing it thicker and some are comfortable doing thinner buildups. Thereâs never a wrong way to paint!
â@@tafferine388 Oh? I'd heard from one of my professors in college that layering gouache too thickly will cause it to crack, because it isn't a flexible polymer like acrylic paint.
In addition to how my professor painted, I'd always seen other gouache artists building up layers carefully from thin to thick (the tea to butter method), and I'd assumed that the cracking issue was part of the reason to paint that way, rather than applying thick opaque layers to start, like with hard-bodied acrylics. It's not a matter of taste, but of limitations of the medium.
I know there's acrylic gouache, which I'd imagine you could apply thickly, but I'd think the majority of illustrators don't want their artwork that they've painstakingly painted to suddenly crack when that wasn't the intended effect. And I think this jelly gouache isn't acrylic gouache, correct?
@@standingaloof your professor was right, gouache will start to crack if layered to thickly, but that mostly means you canât build up any impasto unlike acrylic. starting immediately with a thick consistency is totally fine it just means you have to be certain in your color/placement and cannot layer on top of it (without lifting any off). some styles actually utilize that for a more blocked out comic style of painting.
@@suckstosuck7605 Ah. Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying!
You are using gouache as a watercolor. There is more ways to use gouache
These jelly gouaches are mostly used by art students in china when they're taking a test as they are affordable, comes in many colors so they don't have to take their time mixing from scratch, and are quick to dry so they'll finish the test in time. Quality isn't the best of the best, but you get what you pay for. I have been using it since last year and have enjoyed it a lot. đ

@@judilynn9569 I simply don't. My friends don't need to see the skin issues I have saved for my dermatologistđ
YOU WON! LOOK AT THE PINNED COMMENT
You won!!!
Did you see you won? Have you gotten the painting?
Ive had them for like a year now, and gosh damn their quality does not degrade. They dry up, but you can add water, let it sit and its like straight out of packaging
thank you for the advice! I struggle with them drying out quickly
This is from awhile ago but you can get a small mist spray bottle and spray the cups before you close it up to keep it from drying. Iâve had mine for 8 months and Iâve never had a dry cup this way
Can you then actually still get them into an impasto application of paint??
@@CaroCallas i use a medicine syringe and add water and let it sit and then mix it up and break up the pieces with my palette knife and can usually get it back to that consistency
Caption: '' When you finally peel off the tape and the paper rips."
This painting is absolutely GOUACHEous (eyyy). Keep up the amazing work!
I actually really love this. I'm typically a watercolourist but i've been trying to learn gouache and struggling with it. A lot of content i see out there for it is mostly landscapes which isn't really my area of interest. I really hope you show off some more of these gouache paintings in the future!
Itâs interesting you say this because Iâve been using gouache a lot more lately, I find it more enjoyable than acrylics (which I used to only use.) Watercolor intimidates me! I havenât tried it yet because of this.
@@PezThaDispensary as a watercolourist trying to learn gouache i think it might be harder the other way around. Gouache its easier to correct mistakes and have that kinda clean but smooth blending style. Watercolour is very fun though and the water does a lot of the work for you. Just make sure to let it dry before you add mor
James gurney has a lot of great tips for gouache!
@@PezThaDispensary maybe think of watercolor as âpaper stain.â For some reason it helps me

Caption: "Jelly cat ready to gouache your eyes out"
This was so satisfying to watch! I kinda love how easy access the paints are opposed to risking squeezing out too much from the bottles. How do you stop them from drying out, tho I wonder.
You can mist the tray with water after each session or once a week and cover it back.
If it does dry out, just add a little water, let sit for a bit, then mix the paint back to a good consistency. Imawonder on youtube has re-constituted her jelly gouache tubs on her channel before.

"Stop double dippin', Dude!"
(since we've established the fact that it's easy to get the muddy situation, when dipping dirty brushes in the paint jars)
Lovely painting as always @alpay and thanks for sharing your love for gouache paints. đ€
My caption would be: "When the catnip hits, zoomies be like"
Awesome painting dude. I love the technique and colours within this piece.
Your painting style really made the paints look vibrant than using them rather thickly. Never seen himi miya gouache behave like that. But the paper and your color mixing technique and brush skills def elevated it.
I really like that he talked through most of the video and didn't use just music and actually statted observations and opinions
Caption: âYou better GOUACHE out for Catbus!!!â đ
Amazing painting techniques. Iâve tried the same paints once and found them really fun to use but also quite tricky due to the fast drying time đ
Lol đ
Title âan accurate depiction of a stubbed toeâ love it. I have to admit I brought into the hype of these paints and I am glad I did. They at so much fun to play with!!
I looooove how can you paint something simple into something interesting with the way you use your brush. That's just talent.
really it's practice
That took years and years of practice, he wasnât able to just do it overnight
The fact that gouache is so different when it dries is why I keep a sample sheet handy at all times and pick the colors based on that and not the way they look when I squeeze them out of the tube. It makes me kinda anxious while I actually paint, but I keep reminding myself to trust the process and it always turns out better than expected. In a way, it helped me have more faith in myself....trust that I chose the right colors and that the final result will be what I want. I also found that it is quite forgiving, especially compared to watercolor, which makes me prefer it. I have to admit, they do look pretty cool in little containers like that.
Even tho i just watched the whole process of this painting, i still have no idea how you made such a gorgeous painting. Like seriously how did you choose the right colors? And the lighting, shading and just overall the colors are so perfect and easy on the eyes it's amazing. Props to you Pro Artist
Alpay : creates satisfying jelly gouache painting with a heaping scoop of talent, a touch of great music and a hint of sarcasm.
Me: offers "Punny" painting title - Cat Bus Out the Gouache Fast Enough.
Love it and an appropriate title is "when you are home alone and you hear a noise"
I always called the paint "jelly gouache" because the little cups look like jellies when they're flipped!^-^
the thing about being an artist isnât how expensive the materials are, but knowing how to use what you have. A lot of skill comes from learning how to manipulate the colors well and mixing them to your heartâs desire

Amazing video as always!!
caption: when you're painting and accidentally touch the wet surface
perfect union between the pleasure of painting, giving rise to the smells and flavors it flows
I just love your painting style- everything is so crisp and vibrant but also seems so effortless and enjoyable. I'd love to see more of your gouache paintings đ
Caption: "I don't like traffic jams either!"
Beautiful painting! Reminiscing of my love of gouache now
If you guys are wondering how this gouache stays so jelly-like (moist) it's likely just regular gouache with some added glycerin (a humectant). Please pin this comment to let people know you can match the consistency of the Himi gouache with virtually any other gouache set.
Do you ever use a protective coat when you're done? To give it a nice sheen... and to protect it of course
@@mrjanssen3856 You could use an acrylic gloss medium to varnish with, but you have to do it in one swipe, or else the gouache will reactivate. At that point, it's just better to mix your gouache with a gloss medium in the first place.
@@KwameCrawford how about a fixative spray?
@@mrjanssen3856 That should work well. Just make sure to test how it'll work on a scrap piece with your regular paper and paint. There are some great tutorials on yt.
@@mrjanssen3856 I use dorland's wax medium as a varnish/protective coat for gouache, maybe not a conventional method but applying it is meditative and it genuinely works (I squeezed probably about 30ml of water onto a sealed painting with much hesitation and it was fine). Other brands/variations might work the same but I stick with what I know :D
this is the first video from you ive seen, and i already love you. this video was just the right mix of soothing without being slow or boring. you have gained a new my friend :)
Finally, i can see the full potentials of this product! Thank you for the review, Alpay!
Loved this vid. Big Bokksu fan, have been receiving for 3 years and it's always fabulous. Not a big gouache fan, am an absolute dork at it -- but this makes me want to drag it out and splat some around again. In other words, inspired. Thank you! And your dog is an angel.
Iâm definitely a bokksu fan now too!
I really like this style of video rather that the more energetic ones. It's really calming aa
Man I love finding new creators who I donât know how I lived without! Youâre amazing!!!
How nice to see you use a different medium!! This gave ne a kick to wake up, i thought one of the reasons for why your paintings are amazing is the fact that you use oil paints, but clearly its all about knowledge, great motivating video for me đđâïžâïž
Great painting of cat bus, love this character in my neighbour Totoro. The cups the paint sit in are called Jelly Cups ergo the name jelly gouache. Just spray with water before use and also when you put away to keep moist. Love painting with Jelly gouache only done flowers and leaves though must give a character a go especially after seeing your beautiful paintings. Have a lovely week and thank you for letting us watch as you created today.
More gouache videos please! I love your channel and I'm starting to learn gouache so this is perfect for me lol
The absolute satisfaction of seeing the freshly opened paint, so shiny and smooth!
I definitely agree with you, painting with gouache is such a fun thing to do, it relaxes me a lot
"Wait, that's MY snack!" I have truly been on the fence about trying jelly gouache and your review was very helpful. Thank you, Alpay.
Loving this painting!! đ€ My caption idea would be: When youâre painting and you realize that youâve accidentally smuged the paint with your hands
hahaha, you deserve the painting
this is so relatable
@@birdypaints tysm!!
i know this feeling too well ;-;
I'm really glad I found your channel! Great tips, clear, to the point and unique.
I just want to know more about that adorable doggy! It's cuter than a typical Chihuahua and not fluffy enough to be a pom.
Me when I see that Alpay posted a new video :
ive been thinking of getting this specific jelly gouache i think i can pick up my art block and burn out with something this quick and experimental. something about not knowing the outcome when it dries is very appealing. youve dont another amazing video thank you for the content !
I have bought some recently (like 5 months ago) and though they were a bit expensive for me due to shipping, I can 100% say they are worth the buy. I'm by no means a profesional artist, just an amateur that sometimes paints to kill the time, but they are pretty fun to use. What I'm trying to say is that if you're in doubt about buying them, I say you should go for it because they are worth it.
@@biancasuiugan9866 thank u so much !! ive already added them to my kart just around enough time to receive them by xmas. im excited and ofc u dont have to be a pro artist to enjoy and recommend it !
Riping off part is soo satisfying as is watching your entire artwork process
This is beautiful! I would love to see more gouache videos! You just inspired me to pull out the old gouache and paint!
I love the styles of both the gouache and oil paintings! And honestly, a huge reason why I like your videos so much is your relaxed voice and painting process are
Also, I'd call this masterpiece "The Arrival of CatBuster the Late"... because the name is ridiculous xD
Oh gosh, I need it sooo bad
You should give it a try. That velvety matt finish gouache provides it's incomparable. đ€
Love your Catbuspainting!†Never used the jellyguache and I dont think it would be my choice in the future.
So thank you for testing it, that I can see what you can do with it. đ
Great video Alpay ! The ghibli movies are also my favorites. Amazing work. Love it
caption: "A sip from the paint cup"
loved the vid :D
I bought the pallet when it first came out, like 3 or 4 years ago. I don't use it very often so now they're dried up bricks, which take forever to rewet. I've tried to get the cups back to their original form, it's a week long process of adding water and mixing every day... I'm just going to stick to paint tubes, much easier.
They actually designed for art students who need to go through tons of paints when they are preparing for the art school entrance exam. And I think it also designed to dry quicker than regular paints since you donât want you exam painting to get smudged when stacking together.
get a milk frother off amazing for cheap, add a bunch of water, wait some time, milk froth it, leave it alone.
Love this guys voice. Actually got me gouache painting outside. Glorious day đ
I love these paints!! Honestly they are a great set for anyone looking to start out with gouache. Great video/painting!! â€ïž
I just want the painting because of the appealing of making a 2d Design more detailed without adding to many details and also keeping it simple
"MEEAAAHHH, they signed their painting bigger than my face!"
Watching this painting come to life was so awesome đ
The reason I subscribed to ur channel
Ur voice nd ur voice it's so calm đ„șđđ

Catbus, more like Paintcat
okay here's a caption.
that catbus: my face when I'm painting with gouache and over-dilute it then the colour dries & and it's too light & washed out đ
I continue watching âthe tape guyâ peeling off the tape at the end. pure satisfaction đ€© well done alpay!
Lena Rivo recommends the Winsor Newton watercolor blending medium to slow drying... Yes! it works very well!
âConveniently packaged in easy open, disposable cups! Just gouache them out, and use them again!!!â
Well... that catbus painting is just a dream. But how can you not fall in love with that cute doggy? :3
Thank you for the video. I have never tried gouache before and been really curious about it. I will definitely try this for myself đ
Oh my Gouache, that's amazing. Never used the paint before...inspired as always.
The voice, the dog, the painting... Full package. Great video!
"You give me all the snaaacks!!"
I enjoyed watching your gouache painting process :)
I just got an even bigger set after trying the small Himi gouache set and I really love it. It's just good paint and even tho it's a mess in these cups it just looks nice and is fun to work with
I love the scene just before the cat bus arrives with totoro jumping in the rain and all the trees drop the rain drops on them. This is my daughters favourite movie of all time! i would love to have this painting or a print would be amazing
i learned more about gouache paints and understand it now. Thanks.
I just got this set for my birthday and haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet. Very informative video!
I love your colouring in....reminds me of paint by numbers.
Lovely painting and precious doggy!
Another amazing video, Alpay! Thanks for sharing! P.S.: Noni is the cutest!
Cheers from Brazil!
I used to watch this movie with my dad, this was his favorite character. Love your painting
Im not even sure what you painted but i absolutly love the style and the look of, the dog?đ anyway your really helping me move along quickly with my painting. And figuring out my style thank you so much. Please dont ever stop. I love you man, & God bless
I was like hmmmâŠthis pup looks sooo familiar and then I finally figured it out! Itâs the same cute little dog from Lioba! I love both of you!! †What a power couple!
Sweet! Good to know because I bought this gouache and use it! I was going to purchase some tubes because mine dried out and I donât love spraying it with water all the time to âwake it upâ

Soooo pleasant voice and man, relaxing video, thank you đ„°â€ïž
Dit is de eerste keer dat ik een filmpje zie over gouacheverf. Lijkt mij een uitdaging om ook eens te proberen.
On this painting, Cat Bus has arrived to the forest and Totoro has eaten his Whole Bokksu box đ€Ł. Shock on paper with Himi gouache. Lol⊠love it! My neighbor Totoro is my third favorite Miyazaki movie. đ„°đ„°đ„° kisses from đ§đ·
Alpay uploads a video, I watch. Simple.
Your voice is so satisfying đđœââïžđ„°
I'm really not very funny but I'm happy for whoever wins this painting. It's awesome.
The art is amazing and all but sir, your voice đ„șđ
So very nice illustration. I love gouache I need to get mine out.
Hellboy is my first gouche project so I am excited to see that you did one too!
I love gouaches, they are like a media in between acrylic and watercolors.
itâs really new material in terms of its properties for me,but your talent shows an amazing results and of course it inspires for own (good) results too.
Iâm so used to using acrylics and I only have limited experience with watercolor paint. I donât have the patience for oil paint, but watching this video reallly makes me want to try gouache đ I love a matte finish to my art and I can see myself getting hooked on it lol
