I lifted only half of covering on each cup so the paint is less exposed and I can just push the tops back down when I'm done painting. I was also able to paint a little swatch on each since the cover is still on.
Omg I totally get you with getting the paint all over your hands.. I would end up like that too! 😅 I've never tried gouache before but its looks like a really good medium to use! The painting turned out really pretty! 🌊
RANDOM TIP: since the case seals so nicely... Remove the included palette - Create thin square sponges (or layered paper towel squares) which are the same thickness as the palette - Place them UNDER each paint container!! Before sealing - WET SPONGES & CLOSE for long-lasting paint moisture!! The space SAVED by removing the palette will be used up by the sponges, (hopefully) creating the same lid-to-paint seal... NOTE: I do not have this paint set, and don’t even paint!! I’m binge watching Emily’s videos (gotta love her!!) to learn all I can so I can be an awesome/involved daddy!! With that said, I can not guarantee my idea will provide optimal results without actually having the item in my hands.... My concern would be that the palette is somehow required to complete the proper seal that the case clearly boasts. I would think the lid will seal regardless of the palette, however, closing the lid without it would increase the gap between the paint and the lid (not talking about my idea where the sponges will close this gap).... Therefore the paint will have the room to leak out since the palette is not there. BUT - this WILL NOT MATTER if you use my sponge idea because you’ll NEVER want to handle this case in a way that it’s not sitting level (or else WATER can get into your paint!) So this issue is irrelevant using my idea, AND irrelevant if you remove the palette and handle the case in a level manner... HOPE THIS HELPS!
I’ve been painting with them for close to a year now, I love, love, love them, they travel great. The only down side is a few colors have started to harden, the purple-blue and my “darker” white, but water rehydrates them 😁. I wish they would have came with a color chart, but I made my own, the pallet included likes to fall out after awhile, but I love them, my tubes always get squished lol. Love your art work by the way.
I'm so happy that I found your channel! I learned a lot from your videos (how to use certain mediums, what to look for when buying brushes etc.) and you always get straight to the point, love that!!
Always so happy to see you pop up on my feed. I’ve been tempted to try those paints, but I’m scared they’ll dry up soon. They’re not archival right? I just got my first set of gouache and I’ve been struggling a bit with them BUT I have to say I love the end result. Also totally on board with not giving my money to amazon. Lord knows Bezos is fine without my money.
I know you said you weren't familiar with gauche and it was like acrylics but it's supposed to be a mix of acrylic and watercolor. You can paint with it like acrylic like you did but unlike acrylic you can add as much water as you want to get a watercolor effect too. Thought that might be helpful
Could you make a video of where to start when first starting to paint for the absolute beginner? Any books or tips in general would be greatly appreciated!
Absolutely love your videos, these are really helpful. You are really talented.If you could please put a link of where we can buy your 'favourite' or 'essential' ptoducts it would be great.
Two questions: 1- Now that its been a while you got these. Does spraying them with water enough to use them if they have dried? 2- Do they sell individual colour jelly cups if you run out of any colour ?
I’m so glad you mentioned their smell! Have watched other videos and no one has mentioned it. Thought it was just me that was bothered by it. Hoping the smell goes away over time.
I found it was mostly my Prussian blue seemed to be going bad and smelled like mildew. I removed that one and tossed it and now when I open the box they smell just like paint. Not sure if it's an issue with that color in general or just got a bad box though.
You’re so amazing. You actually paint that around 20 minutes? It will takes forever if I tried it 😂 you’re so cool and I love the way you talk and your face expression. AND I DECIDED TO SUBSCRIBE 🥰🥺❤️❤️ I’m not disappointed
OMG you didnt scrape the excess color on the lead and transfer to the cup 😟😣 hihi still love your video. Im just waiting for mine to arrive soon. I hope i can be as good as you 😂😊
Hey i am a big fan and i have 1 questions Q1: I use AMSTERDAM ACRYLICS . Have u ever used them what do u think about them and what opinion do u have and what do u SUJEST i should buy once those are over
I haven't ever used amsterdam acrylics. I've been using a lot of artist loft acrylics and they in expensive but pretty good! I also really like liquitex heavy body acrylics.
Man I got the set in yellow color for a Great price they were under 20$ I was lucky I wonder if I took one of the whites out and took a wet sponge and placed it in the set would they say moist?🤔😊
this is actually so impossible to open the lead without getting your hands dirty cause yeah😏😅 i actually tried to get rid of getting dirty but can't😅✌btw nice video😘💕
Emily: proceeds to not clean the plastic thing that closes each little pot of jelly gouache Me, a poor virgo that absolutely cannot afford a set of himi gouaches: wait... what?
Low-key Emily is the most beautiful woman I've ever layed eyes on. I put your videos on to fall asleep too because your voice is so soothing. Such a talented beautiful woman 💖
A saw these on Amazon and I I really want to buy them just to try them out! I have a question if I carry these in my backpack will the little paint cube stick to the top of the lid or are they safely secure?
I feel like they would probably stick to the lid if you put them in your backpack sideways, but maybe if you put them flat at the bottom they'd be okay. they aren't super super secure I'd say.
@@EmilyMackeyArt my very first acrylic painting was your ocean sunset. And I was frustrated and I messed up so much. I didn't get the colors right. But as you always say in your videos, you've been doing it for a long time and everybody messes up at first. I hope you can see my work. I tagged you on ig.
I love how your 20 min sketch is a masterpiece lolol
HAHA! well thank you!
Ikr 😲
@@EmilyMackeyArt Can you do a tutorial on how you did that sketch? It’s really pretty!
Oh my gouache the painting is so beautiful 😍😍🧡🤩
I lifted only half of covering on each cup so the paint is less exposed and I can just push the tops back down when I'm done painting. I was also able to paint a little swatch on each since the cover is still on.
Smart move.
That is GENIUS!!! I wish I could have some how read this comment before I made this video!
Oh my god I should have done that 🤦🏻♀️
I did with mine after I say people complain about the dry out when mine arrived i just swatch the paint on the lid
Her: (Did the painting in 20 MINUTES)
me in 20 minutes: what should I paint!
Omg I totally get you with getting the paint all over your hands.. I would end up like that too! 😅 I've never tried gouache before but its looks like a really good medium to use! The painting turned out really pretty! 🌊
Gouache is an awesome medium! I would definitely recommend giving it a try.
@@EmilyMackeyArt I will for sure in the future! Thanks Emily!

Me practicing how to paint waves or ocean kind of for hours and she did it pretty easy OOOMMGG HOOWWW!!??? THATS GOOOOD
Omg i literally had my himi gouache yesterday. I'm so happy u reviewed this 🥺💗
Oh my gosh thats so funny! They are super cool!
Unboxing new art supplies is always the best! Beautiful painting aswell :)
I literally NEED this sketchbook tour!!!
It's on it's way! I promise!
*I love how chill you were about how the deep red being already open most of the people I watch would freak out*
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of watching you paint sunsets. They’re so satisfying!! 🥰
HAhaha! Thank you! because they are my favorite thing to paint right now.
I love how real and relatable you are!! Really inspiring as a younger artist to see my role models being their authentic selves!

Ooh! Thank you so much! It's nice to hear from someone who has been using these for a while! This is a super helpful comment
Emily Mackey Art not a problem. I painted with acrylics for close to 2 decades and these were pretty easy to pick up. I hope you like them 😊
It was so much fun to see your excitement at the himi gouache ! Gorgeous artwork as well and the video made me smile 💖
I'm planning to buy this also 🥰😍
thank you for inspiring people like me who make art too! 😭❤️
Do it! I had a lot of fun with them!

Omg i got the yellow one last month and it’s amazing :) i enjoyed painting with it so much
It can be hard to find great and adorable personalities (at least for me) on UA-cam, and yet here is one right here 😊
AWWWWWW!!!!!!!! You are too sweet! Thank you so so much!
I just got these too! I am excited to see what I can do with them
I’ve watched so many Himi gouache reviews I’ve lost count!! And I’m always as excited as the person unboxing it xD
I wanna buy my own!!
They are such a fun and interesting paint to mess around with!

Oh my goodness you are so adorable!!!
Lots of love ❤️☺️🥺
That painting was in 20mins😭🔥 I’ll take 20 mind to make the sun🥺😂
You inspire me so much thank you!!💕💕
I love your drawings😊
I wanna know that which type of paints are good cz I wanna try your drawings on canvas
The box is so pretty
Gouache is a medium commonly used at Chinese art exams since they dry quick and can be mixed with water
One of the whites is a mixing white and the other is titanium white. The titanium one is better for making the colours more opaque! 🌼
OHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Thank you so much for that info Maria! I'll have to test them against a dark background to find out which is which. THANK YOU!
Wow! You're an amazing artist. What's that lighting you're working with though?
Watching this makes me crave for art and jello.🌸🌸🌸🌸
HAHA!!! A delicious combo!
@@EmilyMackeyArt indeed aahaha
Two questions:
1- Now that its been a while you got these. Does spraying them with water enough to use them if they have dried?
2- Do they sell individual colour jelly cups if you run out of any colour ?
Omg you made the painting look soo easy 👁️👄👁️💜
I love that you greet them "hello" hahahahaha
You're too good for a gouache beginner 😊
Woo they look delicious 😋 just like candy wow 🍭
RIGHT!?
I love it!💫
Thanks girl! You're the BEST!!!

You are really a good painter 😊😊😊

You’re my favorite artist ♥️♥️♥️ now I’m thinking about getting a set haha
THANK YOU SO MUCH! That means so much!
Ahhhhh I love jelly paints!
They look like fun. I want to try it sometime
You should! I really enjoyed them!
@@EmilyMackeyArt do they stain though? Are they heavier than acrylic?
i am honestly so impressed with how she painted that water hahaha
You can put the mixing piece upside down and it won’t get dirty anymore 😄
you are amazing artist keep inspiring small yt artist.
Emily, you are so funny!!!!! Loved the video.
Omg I have the pink case but I'm Struggling to get the consistency right lol
i love your drawing a lot and I am learning from you
from Morocco
Much love!

Thank you so much for the tip!!! That's a great idea.
Can you do an acrylic tutorial with something with peacocks? I love peacocks but am still fairly new but really want to paint one.
That was a lot of fun ❤
Thank youuuuuu!
Please do more videos with these paints!
I will!
OMG you didnt scrape the excess color on the lead and transfer to the cup 😟😣 hihi still love your video. Im just waiting for mine to arrive soon. I hope i can be as good as you 😂😊
I just ordered mine and I order blue but they are out of stocks so I just choose pink and I’m waiting for it to arrive.
Hey i am a big fan and i have 1 questions
Q1: I use AMSTERDAM ACRYLICS . Have u ever used them what do u think about them and what opinion do u have and what do u SUJEST i should buy once those are over
I haven't ever used amsterdam acrylics. I've been using a lot of artist loft acrylics and they in expensive but pretty good! I also really like liquitex heavy body acrylics.
Brand new paints AND a brand new sketch book! Is it your birthday? 🎉😜✌️
I'm not even joking, it was my half birthday when I recorded this so I'm gonna say yes!!!!
Emily Mackey Art well then, happy half birthday, lovely!! Beautiful work with these 🤗. I've not used gauche for many years!
Ur so great at art :)
Where did you get your easel??? I’m looking for ages for a table one and I can’t find it anywhere 🙄🙄
I just found your acount and i love it your amazing! 💞
i love your painting
Great video 🖤❤🖤❤🖤❤🖤❤
I am back painting whit himi miya gouache. I have the 56 set😊 they are my ultimate favoriete paints. I don,t paint whit anything else anymore😊
i suscribed bc i like your voice also im waiting for that sketch tour
I just bought this paint 2 weeks ago and I know how it feels to open the lids lolll
Man I got the set in yellow color for a Great price they were under 20$ I was lucky I wonder if I took one of the whites out and took a wet sponge and placed it in the set would they say moist?🤔😊
can you a tropical jungle/ forest painting. Id TOTATALLY buy it.
She is sooo messy and I just adore that about her 😂❤️
this is actually so impossible to open the lead without getting your hands dirty cause yeah😏😅 i actually tried to get rid of getting dirty but can't😅✌btw nice video😘💕
This hi gouache has been sitting on my cart for so long now i really want to buy it but I dont know why I havent yet hahaha
oooo a cool idea would be to do a challenge (idk if its real but i just thought of it) where you only use one brush to paint a whole painting lmao
so amazing
Emily: proceeds to not clean the plastic thing that closes each little pot of jelly gouache
Me, a poor virgo that absolutely cannot afford a set of himi gouaches: wait... what?
What does astrology have to do with literally anything here?
@@hollydaugherty2620 virgos tend to be picky and also very clean and organized. Waste such a big amount of paint for absolutely no reason is a sin
Low-key Emily is the most beautiful woman I've ever layed eyes on. I put your videos on to fall asleep too because your voice is so soothing. Such a talented beautiful woman 💖
Hi Emily can you please do another easy beach painting for beginners ?
I'll put it on my todo list!

What are the colors that you used for the demo? 🥰
I used red, orange/yellow, white and the darkest blue it comes with.
@@EmilyMackeyArt thank you!! I love your work!! 🥺💕
@@jeanneclariel4122 Thank YOU!!!
make a video about your first painting to last good idea
I see those gouache a lot... But I couldn't even paint well with acrylics so I wanna learn from one material to another
It's a good idea to stick to one thing until you are feeling more comfortable for sure!
@@EmilyMackeyArt my very first acrylic painting was your ocean sunset. And I was frustrated and I messed up so much. I didn't get the colors right.

“ It feels like it’s easy clean. “
Oh! Hell no! It takes me 30 minutes to clean that thing!
❤️❤️
Out of curiosity did your Prussian blue smell really strong and sour? Mine is really strong and I just wanted to see it that’s typical
I honestly thought they all were kind of stinky. They had a bit of a funk.
Emily Mackey Art I’m pretty new to gouache, is that pretty typical?
The covers have su much color on them. It seems like you're gonna throw them and that's freaking me out
Just here to say that i love you
Honestly the yellow cased one looks horrendous to me 😂😂
Idek why I just don't like looking at it
normally use acrilyc and if i get these jelly paints are they as good as acrilyc or better ? Can i replace acrilyc with jellys ?
I wouldn't say one is better or worse. They are just different!
43rd comment!!!❤️❤️🌸 I love your videos so much!!!😋❤️🌸
CONGRATS!! HAha!
Emily Mackey Art AAAHHHH!!!😋😋😁😁😁
Can u doooo more acrylic painting tutorial
absolutely! I hope to have more soon!
My habit of licking the lids is kicking me, I became such a fan of orange after I look at sunsets
Please make painting tutorials using gouache
as soon as I figure out how to use them I will!
those paints have better coverage than my foundation.. probably because i don’t have any
