Mine were like bricks just add some water and mix with a pallet knife. If they are too hard, leave the water inwater over night and add water as needed

Zinc white (or also known as Chinese white) is the most transparent white of them all, so it’s better for adding it as thin layers. Titanium white is the most opaque so when adding it to another color it will make it a much lighter value with just a little amount and also it’s perfect when we want to add a strong white on top of other colors *I know this because I came to the same question once I decided to buy individual gouache paints and came across the fact I really didn’t know if I’ll needed white (since I was used to watercolor where mostly I didn’t use white)so I made a research on whites and also how people use it in gouache (since it was my goal) and at the end I bought both, I hope everytime artists have any doubt they research, get knowledge and hopefully found something they can apply to their artistic path **Just saw your comments, I'm glad you all ^ㅅ^

It's not that she didn't know the difference between zinc and titanium white, it's that with this set _specifically_ there is no noticeable difference between the white paints given and perform exactly the same. One is not more transparent or opaque than the other.

As an absolute beginner on a budget, I must thank you for considering my demographic in continuing to use Himi when making your videos. There are a lot of videos that attempt to sway me away from even considering the Himi set, but I just can't stomach dropping so much money on artist-grade when I'm only just learning to sketch and paint gouache from scratch (and we all know how expensive groceries are rn). Seeing your videos and how beautiful they all are despite using consumer-grade, "inferior" paints, is hugely inspirational to even picking up a paintbrush. The YT'ers pushing everyone away can come off as a little pretentious in their opinions when beginners like myself have no or very little frame of reference, in my case, a cheap paint-by-numbers acrylic set from Shein that got me hooked on making this a new hobby. I don't want to get bogged down in paint, brushes, paper types, etc. I just want to paint. Let me paint and not feel bad that I'm not getting "the true experience", or even worse, "an inferior experience". Let me just paint and enjoy painting. Thanks for reading/skimming this wall of text, but most especially, thank you for your inspiration.

The reason they do that is because they know how horrible it is to fight with your art supplies, so you end up not "painting and enjoying painting" because you are fighting your supplies. I bought so much Himi paint and now it sits there because I can't stand the sticky feeling (dextrin binder). It would have been much more cost friendly if I would have bought artist grade paint from the start and saved myself the trouble and frustration. No one is trying to be snobby, but quality art supplies are more expensive for the reason that you are looking for, they let you paint just to paint because you don't have to worry about paint, brushes, paper. I have no issues with Himi gouache, I am glad it exists, I am so incredibly jealous of people that don't mind the texture and the fighting and whatever else and can create amazing and inspiring art with it. Himi gouache paints are truly a gift to the art community. You should 100% try them and I hope they work for you. However, don't get mad at people trying to save you from potentially quitting art out of frustration by steering you to quality supplies, especially those that have been around for hundreds of years - there is a reason they are still here.

Thing is, the Himi set isn't even that cheap for what it is in my opinion. I've seen it at $20-30. That's too expensive for what if offers and how hard it is to keep from drying, or mixing. Most "pretentious" YT's are just trying to keep people from ending up hating gouache, since the Himi set is hard to use and many people end up thinking they're bad at it or they don't like gouache when the issue is the brand, not them. For that price, you can get the Arteza gouache, it's $26 for 24 colors and much better quality. Or you can get the Mont Marte gouache, it's also from a chinese brand, same quality as the Himi gouaches but it comes in tubes and is much easier to keep/use because of this, and it's cheaper than the Himi gouache.

watching people paint always makes me want to paint, this painting was stunning ❤️

started using my himi just a few days ago, I really like it. i want to learn how to use it before school year starts again. thanks for this, it inspired me to continue working on my paintings. ♡

I also noticed that himi gouache is way thicker and heavier compared to my other gouache sets. But am getting used it now. Overall, I could say that it is a great investment. 🌻

I actually love the Himi gouache colors! Especially their color palette is really nice, specifically for people like me who don't like mixing colors lol! They're unfortunately really overprized nowadays though, back when I got them they were $14, now they're being sold for as much as $29!

Gouache totally made me fall in love with painting. I'm useless with watercolors and acrylic paint and the opacity of gouache is a game changer! I also love that it's water soluble, it makes things so much more simple and no dry paint goes to waste. Hope you got to try it out by now!

Highly recommend! I love watercolours and I do paint with them as intended but I noticed I was also using a lot of watercolour paint to achieve a thicker more opaque paint for details etc. so I invested in some gouache and oml I love using both together. I tend to use watercolour for my backgrounds, colour blocking and starting the details and shading, but the gouache is so incredible for details and brighter bolder colours. It’s also great if you wanna do like a solid wall of colour? It’s like being able to paint with acrylic but still have total control over the thickness and opacity with the amount of water you use. Idk it’s hard to put into words, but like having both and using them together has changed the game for me!

i bought my first gouche set and i got so frustrated at the thickness of the paint but seeing you paint and the tips you give were really helpful, thank you!

Would love to see a video about it, when you squeeze your artist grade gouache into an airtight container. I think the cotainer is a big reason why many people like the Himi gouache. It would be really interesting to see if you can achieve the same convienience with tube paints!

Thank you so much for this! Mine has been sitting in the shelf and I badly needed your advice :)

Oh my God, your video is recommended to me and I'm automatically reminded that I haven't opened my gouache in months 😭 thank you, for the amazing video and the amazing art 💙

I love your himi gouache videos, please do more because I'm learning alot from it 💓💓💓

I got the Miya 56 set of gouache a a month or so ago and used it once and really liked it. I need to pull it out again, thanks for the video :)

Goodness! The way she's using the flat brush! She's a really good artist.

For so long you've been away and now you're back I feel spirited! 😍

This turned out great 🌿 thinning out the paint like you did for the beginning is something I want to try out now!

Better than many gouache tutorials. Solid.

As an asian, it brings me joy to see someone scrapped off the paint from the lid XD Everyone i've seen throw away the lids without doing it and it triggers me hehe

You explained the pros and cons of himi gouache so clearly. Repeated statements to make sure we don’t get it wrong. 😀👏👏👏

This video makes me so relax

Thank you so much for making this well-organized and informative video with lots of tips and alternatives for both beginner and advanced artists ! it was so helpful 😊

Thank you for blessing my eyes with your channel, can't wait to try this. Please never stop painting, sending love from 🇲🇩

i live in the caribbean and ive never had a problem with any of my water based paints (himi gouache, kuretake gansai tambi) getting mold lol

This is so inspiring! I love this painting. I actually like the edges unmasked and more rounded.

Its so beautiful and i love spirited away ♥️🥺

Thank you. Your tutorials are helpful. You have a very pleasant and calming voice. The final painting in this tutorial is lovely.

your voice is so relaxing and your artworks is just gorgeous! I'm looking for more of your tutorials!

Beautiful painting and lovely review. Hoping to get a set soon. Thank you!

this painting is so so beautiful!!!

i can't wait to receive my himi gouche next week ♡ thank u for this!

Love this video! I am trying to get back into painting again. I watched your video last year on the set too which inspired me a lot. I also have had no issues with mold when i sprayed it with water often.

Beautiful painting! I do really like the convenience of jelly cups. The idea of squeezing tube gouache into an airtight pallet to mimic that is really interesting! Such a wonderfully informative video. Thank you!

Thank you for this video! I'm a new artist and my friend got me the Himi gouache set for my birthday-this makes me feel more confident to use it. And that spirited away painting simply took my breath away!!

Wow it's beautiful, thanks for painting the spirited away gate, it's so helpful 🙏❤

this is incredible!! I love the movie spirited away!

I'd not heard of Himi Gouache. Good to learn something new. Thank you.

Very relaxing and helpful video, also amazing job on the painting!

There's something so satisfying about seeing a himi set get cleaned and revived!!!! I bought a set a while ago but haven't cracked it open yet, I wanted to have a time where I could paint every other day/every week ;A; you know what, I should just open them ;m; also I have been binging jelly gouache vids on here lately and I just ordered a spray for the mould (just in case!!! just to keep my set clean hehe) I'm gonna break them open this week and start painting !!!

Loved watching the process of this artwork and your input on the Himi Gouache .... I am still trying to learn how to use it.

I love this case!!! thank you a lot for your time to create this video :)

Omg this is the first vid I saw in ur channel, and I fell in love with it!!! Ur gonna be my fav KZreadr!!!!

YOUR PAINTINGS ARE SO PRETTY I REALLY WANNA BE ABLE TO PAINT WELL TOO

Recommended colors Jess suggested: Warm and cool in each of the primary colors. Prussian Blue Burnt Umber White & Black

I purchased the little round containers you get in kits with acrylic paints, the ones that are in a strip together, from Michael's. I cut the up to separate them. I squeezed in my Holbein gouache to fill about a third of the way to see how quickly they dried out and if theu got moldy. I have been opening them up every few weeks for about 3 months and they are still moist. I keep them.in a tin container that held supplies from Jane Davenport and it's very lightweight to carry around. I get 21 containers on there and because each is individually sealed I just open the ones I need and I can use a pallet knife to scoop out what I want or dip the brush in directly.

it's amazing,a real artist

Gorgeous! Beautiful colours!

I AM JUS GET ADDICTED TO YOUR VIDEOS . YOU ARE AMAZING ARTIST❤️🌈✨

Both your art and voice are really beautiful !!!!!! 😭

I just went out on a limb and picked up a set of Himi gouache paints and some practice paper, just to try out the medium. I haven't painted since I was a kid and being in college money is tight, so I didn't want something super super expensive. College keeps me busy and life is harsh and demanding enough with work and family obligations, but I have found that art is always soothing for my weary soul. I do digital some and I draw all the time with pencil and ink, but there's just something so visceral and grounding about traditional painting... It's an inexpensive budget paint that will enable me to explore a medium I've never used before. I'm looking forward to it and I will be following your channel for tutorials and tips!

Your pintengs are very good and relaxing 😌

Thankyou for the tips really needed them ❤️❤️

This is beautiful!

Hey everyone! Just letting you know I've uploaded the real time footage of the Spirited Away painting on my Patreon (no voiceover but you get to see me paint the whole 3 hours): www.patreon.com/posts/spirited-away-no-53856552 And I'm planning to make a shorter voice over tutorial for KZread so stay tuned!

Thank you for the great tips🥰 have use them for awhile and they really get hardened so easily! But I love them till so far😊

I also tried reviving a Himi palette once and it was a lot of work that took some muscle to do with some colors. Because you see, letting it soak in water isn't enough, some paints I had to completely dump out on some acrylic glass and just move it and mix it with water using a palette knife to get everything as smooth and homogenous as possible. With some paints the binder is so strong the paint gets gummy and it becomes hard to mix and it takes a lot more effort. But it's super satisfying to look at the revived paints.

great painting! I love it

SO HELPFUL

love the painting and review! will look into your other contents ^^

You bought a new one just so you can make tutorials more comfortable for us beginners, I- *cries in the corner from being touched*

this is so relaxing! Thank you

Thanks so much! This video was really helpful

Your voice is so soothing I enjoy listening to it :-D

i just ordered a set, great video!

Personally I think that they are worth the try; they are very good and painting with them is an absolute blast, they are very easy to use and achieve very dark mixes. Their only flaw in my opinion is that they tend to turn more grey if mixed with white, but overall I enjoy them allot 👍

hiii i just got these for christmas after wanting them for a year!!! im 14 and im rlly getting into painting scenes from spirited away or other animes, and this was super helpful!!!!

Swatching a large square is such a good idea to give you a practical sense of what they look like. Really great video! I’m interested in trying these now! I usually use Winsor and Newton’s gouache.

I got this set back when it was viral and loved it, but then lost the motivation. Now it has completely dried out (like, i cannot even get a knife through it to try and revive it) so Im thinking about re-purchasing them since they're quite cheap. Thank you so much for the video!

Nice video. I feel that in the realm of reds and violets, the red would be warm and the violet would be the cool.

You can also buy refills from aliexpress!! I feel like that's less wasteful than buying more cups individually (or it might end up being the same amount LOLOL) I LOVEEE HIMI though, they're such good quality and I love it so much omfg

So beautiful colour, your review is useful too❤😊

I really love your art Yo so talented 💜💜💜

Loveee your videos so much they have inpired me to start my own chanell so thank you

Ive known about these paints for a while but havent bought it yet, i still wanna try it despite already having high quality gouache i feel like it would be fun to have so much paint, i use gouache as you would use oil so i use a lot of the little tubes, would be cool to sketch as much as i want with these paints!!! Ill get them for sure now!!!

Great info Jess, agree about so many aspects in your pro and con run down. I like to use them with plein air sessions at the beach and yes very heavy to carry around in your bag with everything, plus I've also had issues with sand flying into them! Had to clean them out, quite a bit... Luckily for me they were dried and sand was on top.. My HIMI set is usually quite dried out, which in this situation can be better! I've now reactivated them fully though, and since then gotten mold, so maybe I should of kept them dry!

Nice and beautiful painting 😄🌺🌸🌷🌹. Nice tutorial 👍.

I love your art so muchhhh😍😚❤️

Awesome friend,beautiful love it❤️👍😊.

idk if its just me but the two whites are different in my eyes, one is more earthy, and the other is more pristine and almost slightly blue

w the two whites ive actually been using one to mix w warmer colors and one for cooler colors, i dont think it makes a difference which is which but i always tend to get these cups messy every time a dig out some paint so it was just easier so i didnt accidentally make the whites too muddy

Beautiful 😍
