Main reason why i really want gouache paints:
To paint Ghibli scenes...

tip: the thing about jelly gouache is when it dries out you can reactivate it with water. But every so often while your painting you should spray the paints with water to keep them moist.
oops I just realized you mentioned that, but I said that because you could've reactivated the paint on the lids.

i only peeled the corner of mine off and when i’m ready to use them i just scoop out what i need and put it on the pan to keep them sealed and fresh

I saranwrap mine before clipping the lid. its been helping keep the paints like putty/jelly. I purchased the set about 8 months ago.

they have a mist moisturizer spray to avoid molding and hardening of the paint. It's not required, water works just as well but the spray easily puts the hardened gouache to their jelly state.

I have been wanting to get this set! I’m so excited to see what you have done with it! Your art is so gorgeous!!

watching those colours get unpeeled and revealed brought me immense joy and i don't know why :,)

You're so skilled in all these different mediums! :O

Thank you for scraping the excess paint from the wrapping into the pod😭 Tht wld have bothered me so muchh LOL

Hi. I usually scrape the excess paint from the lid using a knife & put if back into the same colour. Hope that helps 🙂

I live in Asia and got the 18 cups palette for 13$. I really love this medium because it dries fast and I can do a lot of layers.

Ate these better quality than the miya 56 colors

Look like different sauces

I just got some of these after hearing other YouTubers and online friends rave about them. I haven't don't much with them yet, just a few small doodles to see how they work, I managed to get a really good deal of a massive bundle with this same set of paint. I haven't been sure what to paint with them yet but I love the idea of studio Ghibli, I haven't watched any in ages, this was such a ramble lol

I’ve wanted to get this set for sooo long and I finally purchased them yesterday! seeing this video is getting me so excited for when they arrive^^

Ppl be saying that their gouache set costs like 8-12 bucks but nuh uh uh....







It's 67 bucks in my country

Actually the only difference between jelly gouache and tube gouache is just like, pan watercolors vs tube? Tube acrylics vs bottle? It's just what the gouache is in, tubes vs cutesie cups
(leaving aside brand quality and all, that is, something like windsor and newton or holbein or somethings gonna be better quality, especially as himi is pretty cheap—still great tho)

In love with your accent:virtualhug:

Dear Gretlusky, I actually didn’t write this up until now, but I discovered Gouache all thanks to you. The idea of drawing Studio Ghibli scenes with these bright, opaque colors is the BEST! And I bought this exact set for the job a while ago— I still need to get used to it, as the colors felt strange to use at first, but I just want to thank you for everything! Totoro, his blue and white friend plus the cat from Kikis Little Delivery Service were my first motifs! You inspire all of us, but especially us who are artists too! So thank you, you irreplaceable you! (rhyme? ;D)

I got the 18 set of himi gouache a year or two ago and they're still perfect! at some stage I left them for a few months so the tops kinda dried out but I went and mixed each colour with a pallete knife, sprayed some water and they were all good! just make sure to spray them with water over half hour or so when your painting with them, just helps them stay creamy. Considering buying either this 24 set just for all the extra pastels lol, they look so cute, also love the paintings! Thanks for the tip about pencil on gouache btw, think I'll start doing that from now on :))
