    just bought my first gouache set and it's holbein acryla, SO glad i watched this video so I know the paper towel/parchment trick. I was scared for a bit because I wasn't sure how I was gonna keep the paints from drying, but now I have firm proof that i just need a shallow pan, paper towel, and parchment paper haha. thank you so so much for making this video! love the wolf kitty, btw :)

    I use the paper towel trick in a lidded shallow tupperware container. If you put the lid on after painting you can keep the paint wet for weeks.

      I haven't tried layering watercolor on top, but it sounds like a fun experiment to try since acryla gouache does not re-activeate when wet like traditional water based gouache! I'd say give it a go! :)

    hi!! thank you so much for the tips, esp the palette trick! i was struggling with how fast my paints were drying out so this was super helpful! what kind of pencil do you use to do your sketch onto your watercolour block? is there a reason why you used a coloured pencil rather than a regular pencil? thank you!!

    • @megguran
      @megguran  3 роки тому +3

      I'm so glad this helped! I use just a regular yellow color pencil or sometimes a col-erase or verathin color pencil. The main reason why I use the color pencil instead of a regular graphite pencil is cause the graphite will tend to smear and smudge and can be hard to cover with paint sometimes. I found the yellow or non photo blue color pencils to be the easiest to cover with paint! However, if I am transferring a final drawing onto a painting surface, I will use a regular pencil :^) hope this helps!
