    Thank you so much Cecile, this is fantastic! (As usual!) I have recently dusted off my painting supplies since retirement, and I've always preferred to paint in oils, but a few weeks ago I discovered my (dusty old) watercolours and have now ordered a set of gouache paints. I love the smoothness of Liquin with oil paints, and many years ago I did some acrylic painting, where I used a medium to slow the drying time and make it more workable. Is there an equivalent medium to use with gouache? I've heard of people using mediums with watercolour, but never tried this myself. I love to watch you paint with gouache, and I love your spontaneity, but I tend to be slow and I don't think I could take the stress of a quick drying painting.

    You can use the watercolor medium from Winsor & Newton with gouache to slow the drying time. I don't use it, as I don't really see a difference with the plain paint.

    For beginners in gouache I think it’s easier to start by using it like watercolor, not so opaque like in this video. Adding water really lets you see how your colors will dry out to, as you add more opaque colors till the end.

    @@CecileYadro Anyone can have fun and use gouache as they like. It is a nice practice to start your painting with a water wash, if you want to get better at painting. Plus the paint is too thick out of the tube, maybe that might be bothersome for some people and starting opaque colors too soon might be a problem since the colors dry differently.

    It's better, yes! Although I use water-mixable oil paints and they don't require as much ventilation as traditional oil paints.
