i feel like it's a privilege that we live in a day and age where we get a glimpse into the creative process of artists such as Arleesha in such a manner! a beautiful painting and a beautiful video 🧡
This warms my heart, thank you!
This is very timely! I’ve recently been very curious about opaque watercolor since I like both watercolor and gouache and I’ve been wondering if opaque watercolors would be worth it.
Exactly!! I’ve always been avoiding the ones labeled as “opaque”, since it was the transparency that drew me into the medium. But opaque single pigment watercolor like cadmium red and yellow also seems to be a must among professional artist,
This is interesting to see! I believe Shinhan also has opaque watercolours? Shinhan Pass or something like that? I'm not 100% sure about that anymore. But it's definitely an interesting medium.
This is a unique product for sure! Have you tried Mijello’s ‘mission white’ colors? They’re a little hard to find but are their own opaque watercolor range, very similar to this, and the texture is a lot more consistent, at least in my experience! They’re really cool
Honestly, I'm probably gonna get these paints eventually. I use watercolors, but I often try and make them extremely opaque. My brain doesn't like acrylic as much as watercolor so I haven't made the jump to try gouache, but these might be the exact type of paints I SHOULD be using instead of trying to force watercolors that aren't opaque to be so
These look pretty neat, but I love the way gouache works, too! They’re very different from acrylics in the way they feel, so you might actually like them more than you think. They are also pretty different from watercolor, but they’re more like watercolor than acrylics. One way you can try gouache is by getting a tube of white from a reputable brand (I use Winsor and Newton, but Schminke is also good and there are others that are pretty good). You use the white gouache with your current watercolors and you can get a feel for how the paint feels. I didn’t do that; I just dropped a bunch of money on a primary palette and a couple “fun” colors and found out I wasn’t too fond of two of the colors I bought, but I still love my gouache (and I bought replacements for the colors I didn’t like! And a black, which I thought I didn’t need, but I actually love using it for a Zorn limited palette!) Anyway, have fun with all of your paints! Whether you get these, or try gouache!❤
They're on sale on Amazon now, perfect timing!!!
Alex, that's an amazing idea! I'm a Holbein brat lol. Tho, I've always preferred Acryla Gouache to reg gouache.
@@melanie990 I’ve never tried the Acryla gouache, but I really want to! Holbein has so many pretty colors that I would love to snatch up! I would love to just get ALL THE COLORS just for the sake of completing the set! (But I won’t, because I’d put myself into debt doing that!😅) I’m pretty happy with what I have right now, though, so I’m not going to add another medium for awhile, just to keep my wallet happy.
Art supplies = Pokemon. Gotta collect them all!!! 😂
You should try the Mijello mission white class or the Shinhan pass paints! Both are hybrid paints and might give you the quality that may be missing in the Paul Rubens.
I love love love the mission gold watercolor and was not aware they had hybrid paint so thank you
I haven't painted in a while and after watching a few of your videos, I feel the urge to paint. Thank you for the inspiration as always.
This piece is absolutely beautiful, I love the softness of the skin that seems to come from the opaqueness of the watercolours
I usually add gouache on top of a watercolour, be interesting to see if these really do change depending on how much water used :)
I have a Paul Rubén’s watercolour block (paper) I’m looking forward to using en plein air when I’m away in a few months time 😁
The detail on the eyes with the tear ducts is phenomenal!
Haiii where are youuuu? And where is your patreon????
This is an interesting paint. I once saw one demonstration, way to make an opaque watercolor, you need to add bull bile to it. But due to the fact that it is bile, the paint loses light fastness even more
I love how this piece turned out, I think your use of transparency and opaque-ness with the paint was really effective!
I just got a set for 29.99 CND so I’m happy, I haven’t tried all my tubes yet but if the binder separates I’m going mix and keep them in the tubes, they look like they’d crack and piss me off In the pallet. 😊
Your videos are so relaxing and therapeutic, I love them
I wonder, how do these compare in feel/texture and result, with watercolors with a bit of white gouache mixed in? Thanks for sharing, they look really interesting!
These kind of remind me of the shinhan pass and mission gold white class paints! How interesting, I’ll add them to my “to-try” list.
Your skill with that BIG brush is astonishing.
SOLD!
Lovecraft with this style. Kinda wish I was this good so I could try something like that.
I really enjoy this painting, and learning about your inspiration and concepts. I think the mental shift in your head is the biggest thing to help you see it as a seperate medium, and allows you to learn, experiment and have fun. That said, I saw you using your usual quill brushes. Do you prefer natural bristles or synthetic on this medium?
Thanks for the amazingly calm video and hope you have a nice day!
You are just so amazing Arlee💕 I love this piece ! Happy New Year to you and yours!
I just picked the 36 set up on Amazon for $50! And I'm obsessed!!! 💕
I miss you!! ❤😢 hope you’re doing okay!
Ooh, I love how these paints layer. The final image is stunning.
your videos are very relaxing for me and i really appreciate it thank you
I just discovered your channel through Art by Louise not too long ago. And I've already watched almost all of your videos 🙈
I watched them in the morning after I woke up and in the evening before I sleep. Your paintings are always inspiring ❤ can't wait to see more.
What a beautiful and educational display, thank you so much, I’d love to try these! 😍
I’m so in love with this piece, every little tease you shared on your Instagram just felt so magical and I loved seeing it come together in this video!
I love this painting so much! beautiful!
So beautiful as always! I love your videos they’re so relaxing and peaceful. Much love!
Thank you for sharing your art.
I always love when you post a video :D Thank you! I really love the color you chose for the hair, and the flowing texture of it. I love that this paint functions kind of between gouache/watercolor as you said. It reminds me a little bit of a stronger version of the Kuretake Gansai paints? A little? Anyway. Great job here! So glad to hear from you again!
Oh opaque watercolors my old friend.... 😔 (german people will probably know opaque watercolors (Deckfarben), from their trusty pelikan school watercolors or the cheap variants from idk Müller or so)
Nicr artwork!
So I bought the 24 set. Squeezing them out was a nightmare. The blues were the worst. The liquid and solid goop (can't even call it pigment) were not mixed well. Sometimes, all I got was just liquid dyes and had to soak them with paper towels and retry again.
Painting with it wasn't ok. More like watercolor than gouache. Most were not opaque like gouache but you can relayer.
The finish is matte and velvety looking so I like that alot. And the colors on the painting were vibrant when dried.
Re-wetting the squeezed out paint want great. I'd recommend using these fresh.
Overall, not an enjoyable experience at all . I wanna return these but I DO love the colors and finish of the painting this gives....sigh .
I'm usually really impressed with Paul Rubens products but this was like a 90% fail for me.
As an admirer of your art, I am so grateful when you upload.
Amazing work!
0:14 the blues and greens are so calming
I’m surprised how little lifting happened with these paints, maybe that’s part of the learning curve? Love the mouth/chin especially on this one!
Wow, never heard of these paints before and I am so intrigued! Your painting turned out stunning and I do like how it appeared so watercolor like until you went in with thicker more opaque layers at the end. Beautifully done!
Wow. Amazing video as always 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Arleesha you should be a Pyro raptor from Jurassic World dominion this is JAXON
hi @arleebean thanks for this video. How does this compare to Kuretake Gansai paint?
Really love the painting! So cool to see the process
Happy to see you posting again! Missed you a lot!
So happy to see how the final image turned out :D
Can you do lives like before i really enjoyed watching paint love your style 💜
i have enough problems with normal watercolours lol
That magenta and the pink after it were so thin and bubbly..😅
So what I do is I have a small stay wet pallete and a dry pallette of these paints and I use them both.
Hmmm... they look like poster paints into tubes.
absolutely gorgeous! love the colours you chose
I admit, you got me curious enough about how these will work compared to watercolor and gouache that I ordered them! I'll paint with fresh paints from the tube, though, like I do with gouache. I'm really excited to give them a try! I like Paul Rubens products, generally. They're usually great quality stuff, especially for the price. Thank you!
They kinda look like jinx. 😂❤
I am convinced that I don't need these, but also I'm incredibly curious about them...
Love this picture.
Genial!!...
I feel like it's hard to reactivate because it moves away from the characteristic of gouache that is easily activated when layering so it will feel more of a watercolor but just opaque.
So these would be better straight from tube or in a sealed gouachd pallete. I wonder if adding a bit of glycerin or honey would help?
I bought the 24 set on prime day and then got intimidated and haven't broken them out yet. This helps me know a bit better how to approach them, so thanks!
Are you on tiktok?
Fascinating! 🥰
Hare krishna
I loved these paints sooo much, that I purchased 2 sets. I will say that all the colors I watched you poor I had the same inconsistent experience with. So I'm guessing it's a pigment or dye characteristic to those colors.
Thanks!
your videos are so relaxing and your art is so good, i wish i could join ur patreon but rn i cant. i probably will in a year or so💕
Yayyy! So happy to see you post a new one. I missed your vids! 💖🐰
HIIII So looking forward to this one!!!!
The consistency inconsistencies 😞
But these are going to be extremely useful for anyone who likes to paint materials in a more realistic manner; especially skin tones and other layered color tones. Because you can always use the transparent watercolors on top of these. Absolutely perfect for capturing the warmth of our blood, the pink/red under tone in the skin of a living person. Or the colors in opal and pearl.
Omg yes! I’ve been eyeing the snot out of these!
That is a very beneficial video
