The himi packs being opened always make me think of pudding cups or the icing cups you get with dunkaroos.
thats why its called jelly gouache, bc it comes in the asian jelly cups haha
Did you know that Dunkaroos came back!?
@@yamigekusu I did. I work at a gas station and was very excited when we started selling them.
@@user-bj3nc4xi7i aren't the Asian jelly cups in circles tho
@@ZenitsuKunn nah they also come in squares LOL
I don't know the name of the rounder flat brush in English but in Spanish we call them cat tongue brushes haha :)
Same in america
@@Sunshine6519 cat tongues are pointy right?
Same in Brazil
aww
kinda cute I can see it now ahahaha!!
Here’s my current thinking about “lightfastness.” WHATEVER you create, if you like it love it or want to reproduce it, lightfast or not, or somewhere in-between, be sure to take a quality photo or better yet, a high-resolution scan of it right away. I’m reading that for print reproduction for giclee prints (fine art prints) that a scanned image is best. At any rate, if you do want to sell the work that you’ve done a fabulous job on but that you’re unsure of the permanency or lightfastness of each color (also remember that lightfast ratings are rated on the mass tone and not the diluted with water color,) make sure you have good scans of your work that are reproducible and salable.
It's also worth remembering that fluorescent dyes, which are often used to brighten the look of a lesser quality paint, scans differently to how your eye perceives it. So if you're using a lot of very bright, cheap colours and mixing them down to something more muted, you may not see the same thing on your computer screen once scanned. Opera in watercolour also has this issue because of the fluorescent dye used alongside the regular (PR122) pigment, so it looks much duller once scanned. You can always edit the scans brightness or saturation, but that tone will be lost. I suppose there's always things like Photoshop or Clip Studio to add back in some more neon tones, but then it would become mixed media and that's not always what someone is going for.
Oh my goodness I never knew that about mass tone for lightfastness testing, thank you!
It’s the NB tamagotchi sticker for me
as someone who is nonbinary i noticed that and went !!!! :D !!!!!!!!
just a heads up, the colors on this set that aren't on the 18 set fade extremely easily. those light violet, nude, and rosy pastel colors? yeah, put them on your window for a month or less and they will be fully gone.
On the 18 colors set there is only one color with this issue, the violet. on the 24 colors palette, there's 5. so really you get 17 reliable colors on one, and 19 on the other. and when i say a color fades, oh do they fade, i mean they fade extremely easily. So, something to keep in mind if you are gonna keep this anywhere that is not a dark drawer (or sell the original to someone).
Thank you so much. I was wondering for so long how lightfast these paints are. There are so many videos about them but no one seem to have tested how they withstand exposure to light. Did you test yourself/ for a longer period of time? Like will the lightfaster paints still fade after a year or so (in bright light)?
But it would still be alright to use them for sketchbook work right? Since I don’t plan on selling that and it’s usually not exposed to light
ty for telling me I often hang my paintings on my walls
@@ihatemylife7682 yes, if light-fastness is the issue, as long as your paint doesn't see any light it will be fine.
A lot of people use fugitive colours regularly in their Sketchbooks (or any other paintings they do not wish to hang or sell the original of).
Actually kim crick did a uv test on the 18 set.. and 9 were fugitive.. 7 disappeared completely. They are NOT lightfast ...which is a shame because they are quite attractive when used.
right after buying it.
Literally same.
Aah no way, the timing is amazing. I've been looking into buying the HIMI gouache set after I watched your old video about it. I'm really glad I have this video too! Thanks for the upload :)
What a lovely portrait. The blues are so striking
I just got this exact set last week and I *love* it, especially the pastels. I immediately thought how it would save a lot of white paint.
Aaaah I was so relieved because I just bought this exact set!! Lol. I thought they may be an even newer one I didn’t know bout 🙀
This painting is really striking and the process was very interesting to watch as my interpretation of his hair changed with each new stroke. At first I saw gravity less tears, then tree roots and now it looks like strips from the universe are descending on and cradling his head.
Wow, great music choice for the opening of the gouache! Lovely mood.
Ah this inspires me to decorate my HIMI gouache set. I have the small one but I'll move on to a bigger set once I finished it all up and saved money to afford it. Thank you for your art 💕
Been searching for a himi miya gouache set with white palette.Thank you ✨
I love your nb egg sticker, so cute
Also, those colors are just perfect
are they non binary??
@@jeebus_gaming not sure, but I checked her Instagram and she has her pronouns set as She/Her
@@cheshirecat9037 Nonbinary people can use she/her pronouns but that would be something, wouldn’t it?
@@keepyourshoesathedoor Yeah, nonbinary people can use any pronouns
Suuuuuch a beautiful painting. Thank you so much for sharing with us!!!!
This painting is so beautiful.
I actually bought this exact same set a few months ago because I loved the addition of more colours and the white mixing palette. I kept my original jelly gouache cups and put aside the new ones for backups of the colours that came in the original set. It's been so nice to work with and I love the newer lighter/pastel shades as well. It's convenient having them and not having to use it up so much white!
wow!! im so glad to see you reviewed this, i was hoping you'd take a look at the new colors! fun fact: this set actually only costs 10$ where i am! the 18 set is like 6$! truly affordable :)
ahh lucky!! here it costs around 30$ which wouldn't be that bad on its own but the shipping costs almost 20$ 😭💔
really??? here is around 36$ :/
@@cherrypidge I-
,,,,10 and 6,,,, geez louise that’s cheap af im jealous
the music throughout the entire video was so well picked!
wonderful work :) I think the only thing that would make the HIMI set better is if they would sell replacements for the little paint cups, I've seen a couple colors on a site before but they only ship within Indonesia.
This. This is when they would go from being a trend to being a mainstay. I bought the 56 color one just because I really was so excited for it. I realize that it was overkill. If I could have bought the 24 set and maybe an addition few cups, and knowing I could replace the cups individually as needed... I'd try to practice with it more and use it more as an actual artwork, rather than just making emotional pieces in my sketchbook with them.
Bonus points it they make the main box more air tight. Then, it's the perfect set for beginners like me, at least 😆. But making replacements available out of China would be nice...
They actually do sell refills!
@@apersonthatexists. Do they now? Last I checked it was very limited and hard to get in the States.
I love the combination of colours you used, the end result is both soft but also has that bright energetic pop.
I have the same set as you. And even though it's fairly new so I haven't used it much yet, I'm already so happy with it. The colours are so bright, the jelly consistency is so convenient, and the paint is so easy to apply. It's just a joy to use them, and I'm looking forward to doing a lot of painting this summer.
I love this one! I really enjoy your gouache paintings. A search on gouache is how I found your channel, and I’ve been enjoying your content for a year now. Thanks for creating.
Your artwork is so expressive and I love watching you paint!
Haven’t felt like creating last weeks, this is very inspiring thank you!
I've tried the older version once or twice and I'm so tempted to get this new set! The colors seem different. I really like the colors for this color palette! Ended up making a digital color palette with color picking from the palette so I can use them in my digital art. Also I love how the final piece turned out!!
I absolutely love this piece! Those colors and your skills are phenomenal.
I just love this painting so much. I think is my fav of them all. Her eyes are just wow
I love gouache. Only a month or two until I can paint again :,) moving into my grandparents old house somehow takes the same time, if not longer than moving somewhere else.
Really love your art! Just bought a print and am excited
I love my gouche set (have that set too). Your pictures are wonderful to look at and you inspire me. Thank you!
I have this set in the mint container and I love it!!
I have this same set and love the brushes and white palate!
I like this piece. There is a nice clarity in it.
this vid and your other Himi jelly gouache videos, among all others, convinced me to get the 24 set gouache, and I couldn't be more happy! It's nice having the pastel colors cuz I like using them to make tints that aren't so overpowering if I were to use white only. The white mixing palette was much needed 😭thank you lol
This was my first gouache set. Love them 💕
i’ve just found your channel and i love it! your voice is very relaxing, i’m excited to paint something with my gouache!
I ordered the same himi like yours but in mint green and I should have chosen pink :( but it's okay because mint green is pretty and I'm gonna buy some stickers that will match the mint green !
I bought these on my way to work this morning as soon as I got off I see your video
❤️ love your work, always so relaxing and inspiring
I need to practice my portfolio and portraits this was beautiful.
Your videography is stunning! ❤️❤️❤️
I love the painting as a whole but the eyes locked me in, thank you for sharing ☺️
Okay drop everything queen arleebean has posted
I've had this gouache set in my amazon wishlist forever 😩
This is the set I got a couple of months ago to try out jelly gouache. I like it a lot.
I just ordered a set of the 24 pack last night! Can wait for it to arrive! Thanks for the review smile 😊
I love watching you paint
this has become my favorite painting so far
I love the color combination ang the process really excited about it till the outcome of it . Well done my friend I will share it to others. Thank you so much for sharing
This painting is so lovely.
Oh, this is just gorgeous. You inspire me so much.
I bought two of these for my girls as Xmas presents they love it although right now it’s cakes dry and even when re-wet doesn’t seem so cool but as you said not too expensive and it kept them
Happy for a while
So I've been wondering how well the palette holds paint in its actual wells. I know the cups are refillable buti just love the container itself too
I have the older one and I've had a lot of trouble with it. I may try this one.
This piece turned out so cool!
I wasn't surprised to hear that those brushes in the original set were not used. I didn't use them either. But this comes at a good time. I need to order more, the little cups are getting low. Thanks for sharing.
I just got these a few days ago!
i just recently discovered your account and i want to say a big thank you!! you’ve helped me discover more about myself and my work and have helped me figure out how to find my flow with different media’s :)
I love your ilustrations
NOOO now I want to have the new version of the paints. I already have the old one but I am really happy they worked on the very few habits it had. I LOVE your Painting! The colors and the shapes are beautiful 🖤
Ahhh I have this set! Admittedly I haven't used it much despite owning it for months, so maybe this is the inspiration I needed to pick it up again
This really makes me want to try gouache. 😊
Just started playing around with this set.
I have the exact set you're working with!! :D I love them so much and can't wait to learn more abt gouache and create more gouache paintings!
Just beautiful! Thank you, Arleesha
oh waw, it looks so creamy, I've never tried such paints but it really makes me curious. I'm getting more and more into gouache for the sketchbooks and these looks great !
Cool comparison!
I dont know if yall know this but you can buy refill cups or pouch. Some colors are not even included in any himi sets. If you have your 18 set and you desperately need a naples yellow or those rosy nude colors, just buy a separate one. You can even buy it in a 100 ml singular paint cup with lid!
I love your videos so much 🥺 I know I’ve said this before, but listening to you sharing information is like listening to a podcast which is really relaxing (before I go to sleep)
Loved the palette set up portion of the vid! So satisfying hearing all those crinkly lids peeled off. I always WANT to get one of these sets but I'm super sensitive to art materials and need the ingredient lists as well as low odor.
There def is a texture difference between the paints when dry. Good comparasen between the 2 🙂
I love both portraits 😍 they have a really interesting almost creepy look to them 👀 Thanks for sharing 🥰 Because of your videos I've been very happy with my HIMI gouache for 2 years now !
I would love to try them!
I saw the notification and already clicked fast, i love so much your videos, this video made my day better💜
What beautiful paint 🎨😍
You inspire me so much
I have this exact set, actually -- pink and all. :) I agree that the brushes are very useable, and I like the paint. Although it's my first foray into gouache, so I have nothing to compare it with.
Man!! I have been seeing these gouache sets all over CZcams and instagram. THEYYY LOOK SO PRETTY AND GOOD and I want to use them omg but they are so expensive:( I really want one. I am already planning to start saving some so that can get these. :P Loved the video and painting!!!!!!
ik this is late but these are supposed to be cheap sets so you're probably looking at overpriced listings. i suggest you either use that money on more professional guache or try looking on other sites
Love u arlee thanks for the vid ❤️
This was a remarkably soothing video.
i got mine a week ago, i could smell the paint through the screen😂
I bought this larger set over a year ago and really haven’t used them. Now I tried to only have part of the wrapper seal removed or that is cups open but covered, yet my case didn’t want to close when I did that. I also found it was better to remove the pallet from the main case in order to get a better shut seal. Thankfully my gouache hasn’t dried out too much or gone moody in this years time. But I’m not really liking them or at least I’m struggling to use them. I’m new to gouache and watercolor in general but even in trying to use as an acrylic has been challenging. I want to love these but I’m not convinced yet.
I dont know if you've tried them( or anyone else that reads this)
but royal talens has both gouache in tubes that's more liquidy, and glass jars that are thicker.
are the the ones in jars comparable to jelly gouache?
You are so inspiring 💕
You got the big boy! This is the only set I have of gouache and the colors are cool, but a bit too big in my opinion, it takes up waaay to much space on my table or even in my drawer storage. it's interesting, the colors looked so different sitting in the pink pallette (I have the green) that I went and got mine to compare lol still the same set though, I think!
I've been following you for a long time!
i'd love to try them but the colors are too many. i like to work in limited palletes, i'm planning to get a curated tubes from Holbein
I've never seen your channel before now, but I just bought the Himi 24 pack a couple weeks ago! I love it. LOVE it! I noticed that that they also have a 56 color pack too!!! Anyway, love the painting!
Have you seen the 56 color gouche set yet? I'd love to hear your opinion on it! 😊
Theres even an acrylic version which I find strange.
The Himi sets seem to have gone up in price here, but they are still great value. I love this painting by the way!
i’ve been considering getting these for a while i think this is a sign
I will try them today, if God willing.
wahey i have that set!! i've had it for abouttt five months now? i don't know how much use i'm going to end up getting from all the greens, because i don't paint with them all that much, so that's something to bear in mind if you like the look of this but don't use much green. that said it's encouraging me to try using that colour as is more, and that's never a bad thing :>
I only found one place where i could buy the 18 color palette here where i live. Is 28€ worth it?
Does this set with the brushes come with the 18 colours and the white pallet?
I got a set of these for Christmas last year!! Also I've got to say that they work really well but if you don't use them for a few weeks they start to mold and I cant figure out if I sprayed some bad water in them or they just do that??
It happens when you close the lid while the paints are still moist. You can spray alcohol on it to kill the mold
I have this set! My only complaint is that it absolutely has to be stored flat or the paints will run out of their cups and into others. I really like the brushes.
Lovely! Is so pretty! 💖💖💖
Thank you for this video! I decided to give them a second chance and ordered the 24 color set. I absolutely haaated how my 18 color palette is almost impossible to reactivate after drying up.
So this time I will not open the cups all the way and I'll put some damp cloth in there before closing the lid. Hopefully this will help.
I put the inner tray over top of the paints then put that into a snap-lock bag, THEN clip the lid on
You can also put the colours you want to use on a sta-wet palette and paint off that, keeping the lid closed in between painting
@@cazkiwinz4300 I was thinking of doing something similar, thank you! Will try that this time!
Hi how are you liking the set now?
@@kamalitarajagopalan2671 I personally don't like it too much now. While they're fresh, they work well and are fun to use, but the constant re-activating is too bothersome and not worth it. Just take a look at all the videos that show you the process of bringing them back to life. They are meant to be used up quickly... Otherwise, for me, and many others who've used them, there are better products out there.
i've never been so early to a video, super excited to watch
