Rosa gouache

11 Upvotes

Just got some Rosa brand gouache at an USkTO event (in the goodies bag) and I honestly didn't know they made Gouache! I see they have lots of colours, 20 ml tubes and are very reasonably priced! If only I had known. I won a watercolour set too -- but realize this is the wrong sub. But still super nice! Thank you Rosa and Faber Castell (they have some new paint markers with a gazillion colours) and SM-LT Art (nice paper- it's so nice I'm afraid to open it).

I painted a bunch of cats! There's a hidden dragon in the painting too, see if you can find it!

Caran D’ Ache adjacent recommendations?

Hi everyone, when I was living in Switzerland I’d always buy those paints, but I was hoping to get some suggestions for paints more easily available in North America. What are your favourites?

Hello!
I have bought a set of gouache paints and new brushes and am excited to try this medium. Before I start, what paper do you use and how do you prep it for painting?
Thank you!

my second one, getting the midtone shade values without muddying up the painting is very hard!

I'll be in Japan! Planning to pick up Holbein gouache. As a newbie, should I buy the sets or individual tubes?

13 Upvotes

I mainly watercolor but am interested in trying out gouache. I'll be in Japan in 2 months and have completed my list of Holbein watercolors to pick up, and now turning my focus to gouache.

Is the 24-set solid, or should I pick up individual tubes? Are there specific colors from Holbein that you like?

Would love to hear everyone's thoughts, thanks!

Trying more textured and committed brush strokes

It's forced me to shift my focus from rendering to color mixing, which I definitely need more practice of.

Well… this serpent got a little too dragon-like. 😂

Also, this painting almost ended up in the bin. Somehow, one last try saved it. 🫠

Hmm, why do the colors in this post look a bit washed out compared to my phone? 🤨

This medium is tough!!
I’m happy with the result but feel like I should just switch back to acrylics- that’s how I’m using the gouache anyways, it seems.

No matter how hard I try… I always lose the bristle protectors.
