- In this video I'm comparing 12 of the most popular Professional level gouache brands available today. I bought everything with my own money so I'm not obligated to be nice! These are my HONEST thoughts and reviews about each brand. I'll show you swatches, do test paintings, talk about lightfastness and price, and all my thoughts about paint consistency and opacity. I was surprised by a few of these brands, and I think you will be too!

It just occurred to me how excited I am to literally watch paint dry. Only fellow artists will understand 😂 thank you Sarah ❤️
🤣
SAME!!
Indeed 😂😂😂
made me smile - right backatcha :)
Omg yes! I watched a watercolor swatch video and one color turned from a beautiful cobalt blue to drying with a bit of berry red in it. I watched it and gasped at how beautiful it turned over the span of a few minutes.
This video is of archival quality...should be kept as Reference in museums for Art reference with regards to Gouache. All the companies should award you. Really I mean it. This is a humongous effort👏👏👏👏Well done!!!
NOTE: Regarding the brand comparisons & water usage. This is purely experimental to compare the TRUE consistency of each brand, which is only possible if I use the *same* amount of water for each brand. In a "normal" painting session with any single brand, you'd use as much water as necessary to get it to work. So don't take my experiment as the end-all-be-all answer. They are all great to be honest. My comparison shows the inherent quality of each consistency - it's up to you to add as much water as needed to get it to perform how YOU like it.
It's nearly impossible to compare so many brands without nitpicking little things. Any of these would be a good purchase, and so much of it depends on your technique.
And yes I realize I switched the alphabetical order of Schmincke & Shinhan ...my brain stopped working after endless days of editing/narrating 😂 Anyways...enjoy!
I don’t understand the switching of Schminke and shin Han- are you saying if going down the alphabet that Schminke should be before shin Han or the actual demonstration was mixed up?
@@janaemerson3344 yes alphabetically I messed up
This comparison is unparalleled. Not only your in-depth information on consistency opacity and binder/additives etc. But doing a painting with each ( even sharing your technique 8 paintings is so cool) -- just great content Sarah... you're the best
Thank you!
Would you be interested in creating a formulation of quality guoache, Sarah?
@@karylm23 what do you mean?
I'm just curious if you would ever offer your own set of gouache at some point just like you offer brushes! With all this amazing research you've been doing, we trust what you think!
This is so good! Winsor and Newton are the first and only Gouache set that I've bought, I got them because of James Gurney, and they've been really nice!
I'd be surprised if the honey based ones mold more easily considering honey is naturally antibacterial and as itself actually cannot mold or go bad.
it doesn't go mouldy for me, but I had ants eat my painting inside when I wasn't watching
Holy cow Sarah! Such a great review! Thanks for the time and effort. Listening to your thoughts while watching you paint the lovely coastal seascapes was mesmerizing. And I never realized until this video that you had a gouache database. Cool! My conclusions about brands were so similar to yours, so I was happy to hear that from a more prolific, experienced gouache painter. I was particularly interested in your flow and stickiness comments. I paint differently with gouache, using more water, much like I would transparent watercolor unless I specifically need the opacity somewhere, so those observations were also valuable. This will be a video I and many others will return to often I predict. Thanks again!
Thank you Steve! I remember watching your gouache brand video a while back - though at the time I was exclusively using W&N so I was happy to see we shared a love for that brand 😁 I find your views on them interesting because I think you have a broad view of the painting industry (having done design and absolutely excellent at watercolors)
Wow that’s a great amount of research & testing of brands. I can definitely see a difference between the brands & the final results of each of the paintings. I really appreciate you doing this testing & making this gouache database. Thanks so much for sharing your time, thoughts, & knowledge of gouache!! 💕🎨😃
I used the Royal Talens gouache for a class as a requirement and another class required a few W&N gouache... The difference was staggering and I think you're spot on with your review, I had the exact same experiences. Thank you for taking the time to do this!
Fantastic video! As someone with sensory issues, hearing how the paints feel when using them is so helpful for me! Like you have said, with enough time and effort, you can make any product work for you... but hearing your thoughts on the tactile experience and seeing how they behave in a painting is so helpful. Thank you for your hard work. I always love your insights!
I totally agree. I am grateful to be hearing about the sensory experience.
Thank you for this awesome review! I just wanted to mention that in my limited experience M Graham gouache rewets better than the others I've tried. For those of us that don't paint with gouache often or just want to carry a tiny kit with some dry pans, it's a great choice for that reason.
Great tip!
I'm so so glad you are reviewing Daler Rowney. It was hard looking for a review when I was thinking of buying them. It's one of the brands I can get my hands on very easily because they sell it in the art section of the bookstore in my city. Daniel Smith's are so expensive that buying just one tube feels like a splurge. It's hard to justify that for a hobbyist like me. But now that I get a validation (hahah) for DR I don't need to think about Daniel Smith anymore 🤣
That’s great you can get it locally!
The Daler Rowney is really nice to use and as long as you use the colourfast colours it should look great for decades. I think it's an amazing paint for the price and perfect for the person who mostly does sketchbook paintings or is a hobbyist.
Super helpful thank you! I am new to gouache and want to give it a go, so this is really helpful to know which brand to start with.
This is such a great primer on the current prominent brands on the pro-grade gouache scene. I can tell you took the time to make it well. I was ready to buy one of the brands that you really didn’t like, so you not only saved me $$ but time and frustration, too. I know that everyone is different… but by helping me make more mindful choices, you’ve also made my painting experiences so much more fun. Come to think of it, all of your videos have done that for me 😉 Thank you, Sarah!
That's great to hear! The consistency thing is definitely very personal...to be honest the only one I didn't like was Royal Talens, so the rest are pretty close. But there were some clear 'winners' in my mind!
Same lol I was thinking of buying some royal talens tubes but now I think I'll stick to W&N
I just started with watercolor and now it’s making me question if I picked the right medium. Your swatches was so satisfying to watch. I like that you also included the prices. I’m ready to hoard me some gouache paint now and probably go broke with these supplies before I can use them.
Awesome as always thankyou for taking the time to put all this together 🤩
Fantastic job. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this
Thank you for this! I’ve been trying to find a video like this for ages

that was really helpful - thanks for doing all of this.
You're very welcome!

Wow! What an excellent review/comparison video. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you put each paint into practical application. Unlike most reviewers who only paint swatches and then give their (useless) opinion. Thank you for spending so much time on this video. Much appreciated and very helpful in helping me to decide on a couple of brands I would like to try.
Thanks for the comparison!!! It is amazing work and it helps me to decide which one I would like to dip my toes into. Thanks you!!!
What an amazing video. The work that went into this is pretty rare - especially on UA-cam. Kudos!
Thank you so much for this very detailed, labor intensive and thorough review. I really appreciate how much you share your expertise and what you have learned putting these brands through their paces. Really looking forward to your next video.
More than the thorough information was seeing Al of these paints in action and seeing all of your lovely paintings! Gorgeous! Would be a lovely post card set!
