ALL My Winsor & Newton Gouache - Swatches, Palette set up & Regrets - Zábava
Winsor & Newton for us Europeans, nothing can beat it! ❤ Love your landscapes, Sketches and your videos are always so informative, in just 10 minutes I learn more than in a entire day at a conference or a class 😂❤ LOVE the fugitives, I have them too, so what?? For just sketching, come on, they are delicious.
I agree, for us Aussies too! x Nell.
“So clearly FUGITIVE!” 😂 Perfect way to describe that Magenta. Winsor & Newton is, hands-down, my favorite gouache brand but they are so expensive in the US 😢. To add insult to injury,Jackson’s Art increased the prices for W&N products for US buyers. I’m so sad, but I also like DaVinci gouache, which the most economical of all brands and especially in the US. So, as I use up my Winsor & Newton stash, I’m going to replace them with DaVinci. They don’t have a huge range but, as an example, a 37ml tube of Titanium White is about $7 USD, and the quality is stellar! I love W&N but they don’t love my wallet, so I’ll adjust.
You described the two whites perfectly!! I always tell people zinc is for mixing and permanent for highlights
Love this! Very helpful! I'm new to gouache so I'm still figuring out brands.
Glad it was helpful Myrna! ❤️
You are an amazing artist and teacher! I’m now not afraid of using Gouche! Windsor Newton is my go too product, and I will now try to find an introductory set. I’m so glad I found you, you are an amazing teacher! Thank you, Karen Dirmish 26:00 26:00
I agree with Karen. I always learn so much here, and have fun!
Fugitives are so much fun, and since I’m a sketchbook girl, I’m good with it! I love how you’ve been doing these floral swatches. Your landscapes are 😍😍😍!
Such a great, informative video. I have recently invested in 16 tubes of the Winsor & Newton gouache, which was a very scary experience due to the cost (I'm in the states) . I will now happily do some color swatching with notes, as you have done, in my sketchbook. I am stunned at how much that I have learned from this video. Thank you!!!
It was very relaxing watching you swatch those, thank you! The little doodles just made it all more delicate and beautiful
I was in exactly the same shop today buying gouaches from that rack! I only wish I watched this first, this is such an amazing guide
Thank you! Very helpful
Glad it was helpful Dale 💙
What a great video! thank you. The price/light fast chart at the end was excellent. So helpful
Great video demo.
I used Winsor & Newton in college for textile and surface pattern design and I loved it. Such beautiful quality paint. Dried so flat and clean.
I haven't used gouache in a long time as I now do acrylic paintings on canvas.
But recently I wanted to start painting with gouache again so I bought a 12 pack Essential Set of 'Liquitex Professional' online.
When they arrived and I opened the pack I discovered that they are not true gouache at all as the wording on the pack said "Acrylic Gouache'. I was quite disappointed. I hadn't really focused on the image of the pack online as the large heading stood out more where it just said 'Liquitex Professional Gouache'. (I'm kicking myself 😢)
Well, I tried them out anyway painting little swatches of each colour in my art notebook to test their opacity, coverage, etc. Only 3 in the pack were actually opaque despite the bottles advising that 10 are opaque. I found the coverage not at all to be as good as the Winsor & Newton that I remember.
In my opinion they are just 'Poster Paints.'
Definitely Winsor & Newton gouache is my favourite too.
Love your doodles, by the way. And such a lovely floral pattern and beautiful landscapes too.
Greetings from Galway. ☘🙂
Wow - what a comprehensive look at these paints. Thanks!
Totally appreciated, I love the Winsor and Newton gouache, this is so helpful, definitely investing in some more, for me its about the colour. Thanks Sketches great research 👍🏾❤
Thank you! This was very eye opening!
Excellent Review. Creative and Informative. Very good job.
Thanks so much for watching and your kind words! Xx
This video is perfect timing! Windsor and Newton is my favorite gouache brand that I’ve tried so far and I was just getting ready to buy some more colors today. This video is so helpful, thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this! Was very helpful and thorough. Everyone's colour palette is unique, but your analysis allowed me to consider which colours to add to mine. I use W & N.
Thank you for watching and your kind words Aurora! Glad it was helpful! Happy painting x
WOOOW your floral painting is beyond amazing! Love the new colours especially the blue 😍
That chart of yours is making me rethink my entire paint collection (even watercolors!) and the video was so informative as a whole-new subscriber for sure and I look forward to more great content in the future!!❤️ I’ve only tried Holbein gouache because it’s most accessible here in Asia (and affordable to boot!) but the next time I’m in the UK I’m definitely heading to the art store 😂😭🤭
This was a wonderful way to break down and evaluate gouache in a most logical manner. The Series # vs LF matrix is vey helpful and quite informative. I am just venturing into the gouache world from watercolor. I find them both very different and very much similar at the same time.
I have only tried two but my favorite is W&N Designers. I have the primary set. The other is the Hobby Lobby brand, which is great for the price.
I've been using a mish mash of Schmincke Horadam, M. Graham and Winsor & Newton, but now I am leaning toward building my gouache collection with more W&N, thanks to you and @SarahBurnsStudio!
I also got the opera pink just because it’s so bright. In watercolors that is. Who cares if it’ll fade? 😂
Love the details you added in pencil to the gouache!
Thank you so much MessyDesk 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I have W&N, Schminke, Daniel Smith and Holbein Gouache. I prefer the Schminke and Daniel Smith…but they are pretty pricey options. I noticed that your W&N PR122 was pretty opaque…mine was very transparent unfortunately.
brilliantly put together
This was such a great video! New to watercolor and also curious about gouache so I appreciate all this info! I obviously don’t have a favorite but I picked up the Marie’s 12 color set for $8 last weekend to try!
thank you. just started with gouache so don't really have a favorite yet but gravitating toward Holbein for unique color range.
WN really has nice colors, definitely it's worth having. Thank you for review, pretty hair lady 😊😊
Good analysis and organization-the best!
Thank you Mark! Xx
Have you tried adding (and mixing in) some WN Blending Solution to your Prussian Blue when you add it to your palette? Gum Arabic is glue-like so is more likely to make it stiff.
Oh, and awesome chart btw!!
Hello, i also bought a lot of WN colors then i gived a try to horadam for earth colors, and some are great and closer to what i imagine when i read their names (i prefer naples of horadam)
Thank you for sharing, I’ve only recently bought a few of the horodams to try - excited! Happy new year xx
I loved this video! So much of what you said about setting up a palette of colours resonated with me. I always swatch everything too and fill in the pigment details (because I'm a complete geek about stuff like that 😊). It's easy to get carried away with picking colours just because they look so pretty, then finding out you can mix most if you choose your primaries carefully, as you have done here. As for the difference of zinc white to permanent white - I learned in a recent gouache course I've taken (Vicki McGrath on Domestika) that zinc white is the mixing colour for the early thinner washes in a painting and the permanent white for the last, more opaque layers. This makes sense as it is brighter and more opaque. So I hope that helps! I've only really used W&N and Arteza traditional gouache. I'm in the UK, so its easier and more affordable to get than other brands.
Awww! Thank you for watching Abundant wild flower, I really appreciate your kind words! Lool I can completely relate :P x
Thank you for showing these swatches! The Indigo is so much paler than I thought it would be, which is good to know. I just got the Olive Green (gouache is very new to me) and I absolutely adore and recommend it! 😊
@@SketchesnScrubs It looks like a Sap Green, so it has some depth to it and looks amazing when mixed with white. Thank you, and right back at you! ☺️ xxx
Loved the analysis of the collection. That is a really good idea.
Thank you for watching and your lovely words Marie! I’m glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
@@SketchesnScrubs Your enthusiasm for gouache has inspired me to try it. I am struggling with watercolor. I am happy with my drawing, and I can color with pencils, but I have not been successful so far with making peace with watercolor. Time to try something less mercurial.
I just watched Sarah Burn’s gouache review too. You both offered great information. I think for a quality/price point, I prefer the W&N also.
Just getting my feet wet with Gouche! I have Holbein and Windsor/Newton, and Himi set. The Himi set is frustrating at times and the Holbein is acrylic gouache. I just got a few colors I like but haven’t tried them out yet. I am still pretty new to gouache versus watercolor but this was very informative thank you
I love my himi miya gouache 56 set and i love my acrylic gouache paints from liquitex. I love you,re paintings😊
Thank you so much!! 💛💛💛
Well done video 👌Next gouache pigment that will try to get is PY151 or PY154. Also should simplify the palette, choices choices 😅
Thanks for watching and sharing!!
Hello, newbie here, so happy I your video came across my feed. Looking forward to checking out your other videos, this one was extremely helpful, thank you!
Wow, what a great video! Really appreciated the cost vs lightfast comparison at the end. My favorite gouache brand is W+N, though there are a few colors in Holbein that are so beautiful that W+N doesn’t have, like Pale Patina and Mysotis Blue.
Thank you so much for watching and your kind words! M I’m glad you found it helpful! Thanks for sharing the Holbein colours xx
I’ve been trying to decide if I want to try gouache these bright colors really tempt me😂
I haven’t tried all brands of gouache but the one I like the most currently is Holbein.
So far, I too love 💕 W&N Gouache but I am wanting to possibly try M Graham or Daniel Smith or made just a few tubes of them. Great informational video with your color palette swatching! ❤
@@SketchesnScrubs You’re welcome 😉💕💖
Such a fun video. I also really like winsor and newton gouache (not a huge fan of its watercolors tho)...anyway thank you for making this, such helpful for people interested in winsor and newton gouache and need a little help getting started.
*PS. So this was probably just a slip up on words but just in case you are mixed up: Ultramarine Blue PB29 is a WARM blue...So in a regular split primary palette Ultramarine blue PB29 would be the warm blue....Then a green leaning blue like Phthalo blue (gs) PB15:3 would be your cool blue. The best way to remember if your blues are warm or cool is this: Blues that lean 'purple are warm'...and...Blues that lean 'green are cool'. Again, I'm sure you already know obviously, but in this video you mentioned that your Ultramarine Blue is the cool blue in your palette because its purplish (I can't remember the exact words but it was something along those lines). So yeah I'm sure it was just a mix up on words but I just wanted to make sure you knew just in case..lol Sorry about the unsolicited advice lol. Anyway I'm gonna press play and finish your video now. Im enjoying it very much, thank you for sharing and much love 💜
I haven't tried traditional gouache yet but I like holbein and liquitex acrylic gouache!
Fantastic share
I thought this was going to be a relaxing swatch session but it was so educational as well 👏🏼👏🏼 I'm still only using himi miya gouache but I did upgrade to holbein even though I haven't tried them yet 😅 weird my cheep himi Prussian blue is the best when it comes to drying and rewetting. I was going to add some w&n gouache to complement the holbein set I got, but I guess no Prussian blue for this one then 😅😅
Thank you for the video. I’m just getting stared in gouache. Came you tell me what type of paint brush you are using?
Great video! I love the price / fugitive swatch chart!!
I wish W&N were an affordable option in Canada, or that Jackson’s was allowed to ship it to Canada. It’s very expensive here. My local store only has the 6-tube intro set and perhaps 6-8 open stock colour options. For some reason, it’s much easier to buy Maimeri gouache here and I can order Holbein sets online. I did manage to find the 10-tube W&N set on Amazon a couple of months ago, so I do have that! So right now, I have a mixture of tubes from W&N, Maimeri, Holbein and Schmincke… but no clear favourites yet since I haven’t used them enough. That’s my goal for 2023… more gouache practice!
@@SketchesnScrubs I so wish Jackson’s was allowed to ship W&N ship to Canada, it would make the sale so much better! Every W&N product has this statement on the Jackson’s site: “Please note: due to trading agreements we are unable to ship this product outside of the UK and EU.” It’s just crazy expensive here.
You’re precious❤
Awww thank you! So are you! ❤️
Beautiful! Do you dry these in a palette and rewet with water just like watercolor?
I don't really have a favourite gouache so I guess I would just say HIMI gouache since it's the only one I tried yet 😝💕✨
Does a light fastness of "N/A" means it's not at all light-fast?
I like Talens as much as W&N, they’re a little cheaper but harder to find. Curtis Ward has them in tubes and jars. My Prussian blue is dry and crumbly, interesting to hear it might not just be me.
Painted for 10 hours!! My hero 😂
I feel you on the Prussian Blue... have you heard of Winsor & Newton Blending Medium? I have not tried it but heard about it from Sarah Burns' channel. It's worth a try!
@@SketchesnScrubs I got some in the meantime and just realized I have not played with it yet! I did once then forgot LOL. Don't add too much or it will never dry, Sarah says!
I love WN Designer gouache and it's my primary gouache, for now, at least. But it's a bit pricier here in the states than in UK & EU and Jackson's can't ship it here (trade restrictions?) Bummer. 😢
Thank you for watching Nancy ! I love W&N too but I’ll keep an eye out for alternatives that are a bit easier to get world wide and keep you all posted x
Hi I loved this video. Subbed:) Where did you get your swatch binder from? Did you buy it or make it cause I would love one. If you made it then maybe you could show us a how to. That would be wonderful. Thanks
Thank you for watching and for subscribing! I am so glad you enjoyed the video. I made the binder myself lol
That being said... I don't recommend the way I did it ( cut the spine out of a moleskine, holepunched the covers, cut the spine off the pages so I could have individual sheets, hole punched the pages, added discs). It works but the covers were quite damaged in the process. I think moving forward I'll either get a disc bound cover that is already made or a ring binder
Hope that helps x x
What did u use to do your swatches on? Is that a sketchbook you made?
Interesting.. Could you also recommend another Cobalt Turquoise light color replacement?! That one is hard to source in my area, I could get TURQUOISE BLUE 656 or COBALT BLUE 178 (that is somehow more expensive), there is also SKY BLUE 621 maybe CERULEAN BLUE 137 ( is also one of the more expensive) - maybe adding a little white to one of these, I can come close to Cobalt Turquoise light you showed in this video, any ideas?..
Thank you for watching! I'm sorry the W&N one is the only one I've used, but adding white to the blues you mentioned should work! xx
Windsor and Newton is my favorite so far but so expensive here in America 🥲
Good informative video once again. So cool to see how much and fast you're learning!
I'll be trying to be more artsy the next couple of days and I'm going to catch up with your videos while doing so. Haven't felt like painting and such for a while, but now that I've moved and I'm getting used to the new job i want to start again.
Sketches and Scrubs, awesome video! May I ask (if you've already done a video, I apologise), how do you stop your stay wet palette going mouldy? I've seen a few people having that problem. 😊 x Nell.
@@SketchesnScrubs thank you so much x
I am new to gouache, I own white nights introductory set of 12, Himi art 18 jelly gouache and a 5 set of m graham primaries plus white and black. I need to play with them. The m graham I noticed are very transparent compared to the other 2.
@@SketchesnScrubs you know it!
Am I the only person who finds pencil crayons over ganache or watercolour to feel like nails down a chalkboard? It saddens me because the effect is beautiful!!
I feel the same with soft pastels lol we all have our thing :P you're not alone Jen x
What colored pencils do you use over or with your gouache?
Sorry for the late reply Marjorie - I have a range of pencils, Arrtx, polychromos and luminance and use a mixture of them, although usually for outlines as opposed to any grand details xx
Is there a difference between the designer one and the normal gouache?
@@SketchesnScrubs Tysm ❤
I haven't tried any professional gouache paints yet but I've heard a lot of good things about Winsor & Newton. I just may give it a go. I do like the Arteza gouache. Very smooth and buttery, but I wouldn't rely on it to be lightfast. 😁
Have you tried Winsor & Newton’s blending medium in your Prussian Blue? I’m trying it out in my airtight palette and so far it’s helping.
