What I love about a good gouache is the velvety matte finish. A shine is a huge no for me. Da Vinci has that issue as well when out of the tube. Strangely enough, the shine isn't present when it is panned and I love using it in my travel palette. It doesn't crack as well so it's great as long as you stick to pans.
Thank you for the information. I am new to gouache so need all of the help I can get! I will steer clear of this paint because I too do not want shiny gouache.
I thought (because someone here at yt said so) that the mijello platinum gouache is supposed to work in pans without crackling. That made me want to try them someday. But with the shine or sheen, no thanks. It seems even more shiney than the gansai tambi watercolors. Thank you very much for the clip. Very interesting. 🙂
I really want to try this brand 😍 I’m not bother of the shine, but it reactives with water right? I bought a Russian brand of gouache and it ended up being acryla gouache but i didn’t know 😢, I did a dry gouache palette, wait for few days to try because I was planning to went out to do some plein air and you can imagine the result 😅 I realized at that moment that wasn’t regular gouache 😂😂😂
Thanks for this video, Cecile! It's helpful to see you use the paint already on your palette. I'm always tempted to just wash it all away. As for the gouache -- I can't stand shininess. What's worse that the finish is uneven -- it's matte here and glossy there. One of the lovely things about gouache is its matte finish. I'd run from that stuff as fast as I could!
Lovely painting. Pity you don’t like the shine, but I get it. Not the result you were anticipating. If I could paint like you I’d be happy as Larry. Thank you for your videos. Cheers
I love mijello watercolors and when i started in gouache, i bought mijello gouache. It seems to be almost the same as their watercolor, shich isn't what you want in gouache. Now i just use Holbein.
I actually think this is exactly the difference between "gouache" and "opaque watercolor", one being matte and the other one not. If you try to apply watercolor thickly, you'll get the same shiny finish - I think that's just a natural property of gum arabic.
@@CecileYadro I'm not sure exactly how, but my guess is that gouache manufacturers specifically try to negate that effect (maybe via additives, or using coarser pigment?) to achieve the matte finish. I wonder how no-additives gouache like M.Graham does that? Or maybe it also can have some shine sometimes?
@@CecileYadro It might be a case of quantity? This obviously has a lot more in it to make it easier to reactivate than regular gouache. I know their watercolors have honey in them so these might have some in them too.
Mi piace molto guardarti dipingere! Sono una dilettante, dipingo solo negli sketchbook, quindi non mi dà fastidio la finitura lucida. Ho poca esperienza . ❤😊👍
It's like a acrylic gouache? I don't try acrylic gouache, and I don't want it...if someone can compare them, it will be fantastic! Because as same as Cecile...it's weird that they have shine! So, I think it's something on the binder perhaps?
They are traditional gouache, well kind of, as they say it's an 'hybrid paint'. I compare traditional to acrylic gouache in this video: ua-cam.com/video/wtKWFW53IK0/v-deo.html

Hi, could you explain what's difference between gouache and acrylic gouache?
everything is here: ua-cam.com/video/wtKWFW53IK0/v-deo.html
@CecileYadro thank You!

Yes, it is more shiny, I have both and I can tell!
They have been great in pans so I use them in an ArtToolkit for travel. I tend to use a bit more water so I don't see a shine.

Yes it reactivates with water, it’s regular gouache. kind of.
I am not bothered with the shine, but I do like the matt finish so much more, so I understand you
ah! good to know!

Agree!!!
If it weren't sometimes shiny and sometimes not, I would be happier with it. It's the inconsistency of the shininess that bothers me the most.
Yes, that's pretty annoying!
I guess it's preference
Yes, but being matte is one of my favorite things with gouache

Holbein forever!!!

But there is gum Arabic inside of gouache too!

Wish I had seen this before I bought the big set.Ido not like the shine on the paintings I have done with it.Thanks
Sorry to hear that

@CecileYadro oh, ok. I think that's why its look shiny...thank you, I will watch it.😊
Strange! I think at that point I would probably just use it as watercolor :-(
Ah, that’s an idea.
Yes I do not like the shiny at all
Ah! same!
That is really weird
indeed!
