I meant to say but totally forgot: I am not at all loyal to any particular brand of gouache - all of these seem pretty good to me! The only difference I can see is that the Schmincke Horadam gouache seems to be a little more like a watercolour than some of the other brands in that it's not as opaque.
Maybe try Schmincke designers Gouache, since it contains white in nearly every color and therefore is more opaque. Horadam gouache is loaded with pure pigment, no white in it since it is the horadam series, therefore it is not as opaque than the other gouache paints from other brands and not comparable
Do you find that the pigment tends to settle out.. more so …when drying the gouache out in a pallet form rather than leaving it in a more liquid state in a tube? it seems to me that in the drying out process …there would be some settling of pigments that might make it more difficult to re-wet, and be able to give the same vibrancy as the more liquid form. I’m just learning about this medium and therefore the question.
Pro tip: add a tiny bit of vegetable glycerine to each pan and stir it in. This will keep it moist for longer, make it easier to reactivate and make it dry slower in the pan, which minimises the amount of cracking. And when I say “a tiny bit” I mean one drop. For burnt umber I use 2 drops 👌🌻
@@SarahBurnsStudio ^ this took me a second 😊I was hoping you'd comment here -- I thought I learned from you to mix glycerin(?) into gouache to prevent cracking, but I don't know what that is (and I want to know) 😅 Lovely video as always Natasha. I too am planning to make a gouache palette in a folio palette. Little hidden house. 🏡
Little hidden house. A quote someone said really spoke to me and that is: don’t go for the masterpiece right away instead go for the joy of creating and enjoy the process, especially in a sketch journal. A sketch journal is a safe place for your imagination to stretch and explore and it has helped me relax and paint intuitively.
If people want a gouache-like paint that doesn’t crack I would HIGHLY recommend White Knights pan watercolors! A good selection of them have a strong gouache-like feel to them with good opaqueness, and even those that aren’t have a lot of pigmentation to them that makes it easy to achieve opaque colors with just a little bit of white or black gouache mixed in. I get mine on Blick and they even list which colors are more or less opaque. I’ve been a qouache artist for four of five years now but don’t own an actual thing of gouache paint aside from a little tube of white, thanks to these watercolors :)
Little Hidden House: For cracked paints, you might try adding a sheet of baking paper over the paints when you close the palette. It also keeps wet paints from contaminating any lid colors you’ve mixed.
Little hidden house - I've been planning for some time on trying gouache as an addition to my normal watercolour and have been trying to get a feel for how it varies from traditional watercolour practice by watching many Y/Tube videos, including almost all of Sarah Burns' output. Your channel popped up this evening as one of those fortuitous Y/Tube suggestions and your video just gained you a new subscriber here. I look forward to checking through your backlist but for now 'Thank you' for this video - we all owe so much to Y/Tubers like yourself who put out material to help people who are starting out on their individual journeys in art.
Natasha , I appreciate your thoughtful curation of this palette. You’ve added light. Your deep moody darks will never go away. They’ve been a place if mysterious inspiration asyou’ve shown so well I hope you enjoy adding these glowing colors. Mary
Personally, I love using Holbein and watching your process of choosing a palette reinvigorated my desire to touch my gouache again! Your tiny palette is super adorable!
Little Hidden House! Thank you for sharing this video on your thinking process to put together a palette. Beautiful painting in the end even if it’s not your best 😊.
Loved this! I found mixing a drop of glycerin in with my gouache before I set them aside to dry helps them crack a tad less and stay creamier for longer. Awesome palette❤
Little hidden house! Loved your colours swatching and painting process in sketchbook Natasha..always enjoy your style and content..I am inspired to not give up on my own art...sketchbook watercolour and gouache with line studies. Thanks!! ❤ from Canada 🍁!
Hi Natasha. I just want to say I love all of your videos and am impressed by the level of detail you pour into each piece. I watch them all from beginning to end. It’s great to see your process. Happy to have found your channel. ☺️
Such a calming and informative video 🙏 I love your painting of the Little Hidden House! 😍 Beautiful colour palette too! The arrangement of the palette reminds me of a Paul Klee painting, a work of art in itself! 😊🎨🤍😘 xxx
Little Hidden House :). I have the Art Tool Kit Travelers' Co palette and filled them with gouache. Even the nicest brands cracked, but they still rewet so nicely! I don't mind the look. Your sketchbook piece is lovely!
The cracked paint does travel to other pans. However it’s not bad. I used mine since the summer. I found when I rewet it I could put all the cracked paint together. I like to put a little bit of glycerin in mine it helps a lot with the earth tones. Happy painting 🤗
When the gouache cracks in drying I used a drop or 2 of glycerin in the cracks. Then I use the back of a paint brush and gently push the pieces of gouache to work the glycerin between the pan and the gouache. Then I add a drop or 2 of water on top. It really works.
Little hidden house! I have a palette full of Holbein gouache. It has dried fully and some of the colors have cracked but it has no effect on the paint or the experience of using them. None have come loose except one and I just put a tiny drop of gum arabic under it and dropped it back down. It has not come loose since. Rewetting them is great. I have the Holbein tube colors in a large mijello palette for at home. I think the art toolkit palette will be great for a travel kit because there is limited space between the colors and the lid. I would put a small super thin piece of foam in it to make sure there is no gap at all. Would be great for plein air then. I also love richness of colors from Holbein. Smoked bamboo is great. I picked some individual colors instead of getting all the iridori sets. Thanks Natasha! Love your videos.
I love love love the Holbein colours and their names! Since using the palette for the first time, some of the cracked paints seem to have stuck to the pans a little more, which is great.
Thank you for this lovely video! Your little hidden house is so charming! I really like how you don't limit yourself to "traditional" colours like a lot of people do. You use colours that you know you'll love, and I'm quite motivated to do that as well now! I have some gouache tubes, but I don't use them very often, and I have a feeling that's because it mostly contains colours that don't speak to me. Looking forward to your next video!
Love the little hidden house. What a gorgeous colour palette you have chosen! The colours all go together so beautifully. Lovely! And thanks for listing all the colours. So helpful.
Love the new palette, I use Windsor and Newton Designer Gouache and have only had a problem with the yellow ochre cracking. No cracking on any of the other colours in my 12 colour palette. Thanks Natasha for another inspiring video.
4:25 Beautiful swatches! Love the look of the small, colorful squares and precisely written labels in the larger square of the sketchbook. 🥰 Makes me feel artsy and cozy.
Little hidden house. I’ve just discovered your UA-cam channel yesterday and I’m hooked! I enjoy how relaxing and beautiful your videos are. And I love your beautiful paintings. Thank you for sharing your creative process with us. I feel inspired by your videos! ❤
Little hidden house! Great video and came here to see if there was something I could do to reduce the chance of them falling out after they dry. I think I may have a solution but wanted to check some other video's. Thanks for the vid.
Little Hidden House. I have heard from someone who uses a lot of pan gouache that she adds a few drops of gum Arabic when she places them in her palette. She feels that Schminke is the most amenable - but this was a few years ago and lots can change with brands in that time. I have an empty Folio Palette and am intrigued enough now to consider making a gouache one for myself. I really enjoyed this video and also really liked the palette you chose too. Thank you for doing this for us!
Little hidden house! I love my Art Toolkit palettes and the ease/flexibility of switching colours, changing order of colours or pan sizes. I used one of my palettes for dries gouache also and quite like having it available!
If I can’t watch your videos on the day they drop, I read through the comments first to see wha the key phrase is if you have watched to the end to see what you will paint🤓 Your little hidden house is charming. I have been thinking about getting the folio palette, so this was quite helpful for options on how to organize the pans. Thanks for sharing!😘
There were so many options! I could have chosen so many different configurations. I love the flexibility of all the different sizes of pans, but the decision-making process was lengthy, ha ha!
(LHH) Thanks Natasha. I have the same issue. A set of tube gouache that just sits there unused. I've been using the Caran D'ache pan set for the convenience but it's limited. This is a great way forward. Very inspiring. I was always worried that once it's dried it was unusable.
My gouache tubes are collecting dust because I didn’t like the way they dried up in a pallet but I have the small ArtTool Kits with the tiny pans. This would be a great way for them to get some use. Thank you 🙏 for a lovely demonstration 🎉
Natasha, I love to watch your calming videos and your talking about paint and colours. I use gouache palettes for years now. Don't worry about the cracking of the paint, it will disappear when you use your lovely pallette. Maybe a tip? Add one or two drops of gum arrabic in your paint, even on the dry paint in your box. Looking forward to more of your artwork and videos!
I have a little bottle of gum arabic, so may try that! The only thing I am a bit concerned about is whether it would make the colours a bit shiny rather than matte?
Little hidden house - great video Natasha 🙏 I’m fairly new to gouache and in doing a Lot of research Schminke Horadam got consistently great reviews so not surprised to hear it kept well in the pan ☺️
Little Hidden House - I just bought the larger Art Toolkit palette. Like you I wasn't using my tubes of gouache enough. I had them in those air tight containers squeezed out but they cracked so much. I loved the Holbein cake pan palette so much I think because I could get my brush into the pans so well and they weren't cracking. I'm going on a watercolour trip with the International Watercolour Society to Mexico City and I wanted to take some gouache so I bought a bunch of Mijello's Titanium gouache as they were said to not crack (so far just one has). So we'll see how that goes. They can dry a bit like acrylics when applied too thickly, though. I'm just working on a video to post of this setup.
I put a piece of wax paper over my gouache pans and that keeps my few crumbles in place. My palette works well for trips. It resets well and easy tp pack.
Beautiful, I just bought a gouache 18 paints set to try out and I find it very enjoyable, I added over a small watercolour painting and I really liked the results, thank you for sharing. Little hidden house 💕
Hello Natasha, I was very pleased to see a new video. I really appreciate your work because I also made an air tight box with different brands of gouache colours. I am still waiting to see if they tear. I made one with Daler Rowney's Designer's Gouache and one with Schmincke and Winsor Newton. I like your little hidden house. Not everything has to be perfect in a sketchbook. It is so much fun to play with the colours:)). Take care and have a lovely week, Gabi:)
Gouache is so much fun to paint with, isn't it?! I'd forgotten how much I enjoy using it. I'll often use it over the top of watercolour paintings for details but rarely on its own - that's going to change now! Wishing you a lovely week too. :)
Little Hidden House,The Art Toolkit palettes are a great little invention I first saw them in a video by Sandi Hester here on UA-cam and was intreaged.I have several of the folio size and I love the flexibility of them,the pocket one will be great for when you are outdoor sketching.Its inspiring to see and hear how you chose the colours and how you configured the palette to suit how you will use it,and the added bonus gift of seeing paint in real time as well.I think the looser style you are evolving is working well,but is still recognisanle as your style/look if that makes sense,still looks like a Natasha painting.Glad that you are rediscovering gouache as a medium,hope it really inspires you.(Matt) P.s I hope you and Dominic continue to get better each day.When I was configuring the pans inside the palettes itmade me think of that game Tetris!
I hoping to take both the Folio and the Pocket palette with me on any outings, as they're so small I could easily carry both if needed! Such a great design; it's nice to hear that you use them too. :) It is like Tetris, you're right, ha ha!
Little hidden house! Timely video as I was just at the store yesterday buying a few more gouache and the same palette!! I’m a watercolorist at heart but have started to do mixed media and have started loving gouache lately after I discovered the caramel d’achs palette. Makes for each quick painting and sketching!
Little hidden house, gorgeous ❤ can you also tell us what paintbrush to use. Very tempted to get a art tool Kit and fill it with gouache to paint more outdoors. Yamilax

I love combining watercolour and gouache! Enjoy your new paints. :)
Lovely, little, hidden house. Beautiful, Natasha.
Thank you, Christine!
Little hidden house, gorgeous ❤ can you also tell us what paintbrush to use. Very tempted to get a art tool
Kit and fill it with gouache to paint more outdoors. Yamilax
