Product Information

I like using this brush cleaner to clean my brushes after painting with gouache. Wash out your brush, wipe the brush on the soap and rinse until the water is clear. BusyArtists is designed to be a resource for first time artists that not only want to expand their knowledge of their artistry, but also for artists that aspire to make it a career. Good lightfastness: Himi gouache has good lightfastness, meaning that the colors will remain bright and vivid over time. This is important for artists who want their work to last and maintain its vibrancy. This is the big question on my mind too! I have just had these paints for under a week, so we shall wait and see.

You can revive your Himi gouache paint by spraying water on the surface of the dry gouache. By wetting the paint lightly, you reactivate it. The two lighter yellows, jade green, pale green, and rose are less opaque, but the colors are still very vibrant. Avoid overworking the paint as you layer paint. The first layer of paint will lift if it’s not all the way dry.

Learn I also find synthetic Filbert paintbrushes to be helpful. A Filbert paintbrush with a flat end and a rounded top is suitable for filling in larger areas.

Portability: Jelly cup gouache paint is very portable and convenient for artists who like to work on the go. All of your colors you lay out in the same space without having to make room for a mixing palette. The cups are easily carried around without a need for a separate palette or container.

Himi gouache is a type of gouache paint that is produced in the town of Himi in Toyama Prefecture, Japan. The brand HIMI is known for its high-quality pigments and ability to produce vivid, opaque colors. One thing to be aware of when using gouache is that colors below can mix slightly with new colors you apply above it, especially if your brush is more saturated with water. Each of the paint cups comes individually protected with a peel-off film. I chose to peel off the film and not retain it all. So, overall, I recommend the Himi Gouache paints. Frequently asked questions about Gouache Paint. What is the difference between jelly gouache and gouache? Another good idea for storing your gouache jelly paints is by wrapping a layer of plastic over the open jelly cups. This will prevent air from circulating and prevent moisture from escaping the gouache. When I am finished with my painting, what should you do with your paintbrushes and palette?With gouache, you don’t need to worry about the paint drying up because it can be re-wetted easily and used again. Ease of use: Tubed gouache paint is easier to use than jelly cup gouache paint, as it is easily squeezed onto a mixing surface. It can then be and mixed with water or other mediums to create the desired consistency. If you add more water to your paintbrush, you will easily create a watercolor look. If you just use the paint as is, you will get a more opaque color. It feels a bit like acrylic paints while you paint- but when they dry acrylic paints retain their shine- but gouache will dry matte with no shine. What paper do you use for gouache? What I love about these paints are their vibrant colors, they look the same when they dry, and they feel like oil paints. I have never found a paint brand that makes me feel like I’m oil painting on paper. It feels somewhat like it’s between using oil paints and watercolors. It dries slower than watercolors, but you can blend colors like oil paints. Flexibility: Tubed gouache paint offers greater flexibility than jelly cup gouache paint. Artists can mix and blend the paint in any way they choose, and can also control the amount of paint they use very easily without the rest drying out.
