When I use watercolor, and I assume it would be the same with gouache, I use 2 water jars. One for rinsing, one for wetting the brush before dipping into clean paint. I think reorganizing the paint so color families are together would help avoid serious contamination. And who says you can't get your paint dirty with other colors? When it happens, I let it dry and wipe it with a wet towel/rag.

this comment is amazing
As a gouache painter myself, I can relate to the frustration of the medium not working like how you wanted it to and I know why upon seeing your techniques. Firstly, gouache does not act like watercolour AT ALL - the suitable mindset is oil colours + water as the medium/thinner. And because it isn't watercolour, mixed media brushes are the way to go. WC brushes hold too much water as gouache is meant for rather thick applications. Even with a damped WC brush, you will end up carrying too much gouache to apply on the surface. I personally use synthetic flat brushes and small round brushes for details. Acrylic brushes are great too. Despite everything, the piece ended up looking amazing because you're a great artist!

The painting subject is a very dramatic scene; stressful and filled with drama. That T-Rex was created by man and escaped the cage man tried to contain it in. Some how it is fitting that your painting found a way to escape and create it's own drama/life of it's own. Fitting end to a creative process! Thank you for sharing it with us.

For anyone using the Himi Gouache set, putting some Vaseline (petroleum jelly) around the edges of the case helps with the seal a lot. It isn't perfect, but it is something. I don't know if anyone else has posted this yet. I put it around the lid edges to be more specific...

Ok, this is why I love watching your videos. I spent about 20 hours on this drawing I did about 10 years ago. Like this video, I wasn't vibing with the piece, so I needed to take a step back and tackle it again the next day... only to find one of my animals decided it would make a better chew toy. I immediately started laughing my butt off. Your videos show the life of an artist. Some good, some not so good, but it's important to never look at the art as a failure, and instead a piece you learned from. Even the best artists have moments when it just doesn't go as planned, and your content portrays that perfectly. Thank you for being fun, entertaining, a great artist, and a great teacher of inspiration.
I honestly think the fact that the painting got washed out by the rain actually gives it more character though 💜
As a fellow artist, I understand your frustration. Here's the thing, it's a part of your journey. Which means, you learned from it and the only place to go from here is to grow from here. The next one will be better, because you have learned from this painting, and if we stop trying new things, we stop learning. I applaud your effort to try something new and for not giving up despite that feeling of not being happy with your work. I think it is perfect the way it is. If you think about it, there are many pieces in history museums that are not perfect or pristine, but it's their unique history and character that makes them so special. I'd love to hang your "total disaster" in my studio to remind me of all of this when I feel the way you did. Thanks for sharing this, it was inspirational to this artist. Best wishes.
It still looks amazing and still captures the iconic scene, which is one of my favorites from the movie.
Your comment about the paints being visually aesthetic- spot on. They remind me of nothing so much as fingerpaints, and they make me _want_ to fingerpaint with them. :D
I purchased the 56-color gouache from himi, I mostly do watercolor art and honestly hoped to use them to substitute difficult, more expensive watercolor colors and I love to use the dry half pans with my watercolors anyway, I feel like I can control both watercolor and gouache better when they start dry. The gouache has been a perfect addition as I'd hoped. I transferred them to a $10 tin with empty half pans from amazon. Works great!
Apparently "proper ventilation" is a double-edged sword
Imagine how bad things could've been, if you had painted raptors...😮
Things happen as they should. In the words of Dr Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park..."Life finds a way."
🤣😫😭 I'm laughing AND crying. I have had entire sketchbooks become ruined. It's devastating, until you learn to let go some. Because there will always be another piece. And I am in love with the chase, the process anyways...so as long as we have the skills, we will always be capable of making it again...but maybe better than last time.
Any paints that at first glance look like preschool finger paints, don't give me much confidence in their performance.
It still looks good, even after sitting in the rain
My 5 year old son just watched this with me cos he's obsessed with dinosaurs, jurassic world (and Park) and drawing dinosaurs. He said this: " Mum , it's a good thing that it ended up getting wet with the rain. Cos that's what happened in jurassic Park, they were all wet with the rain during this part of the movie" :)

It's actually best to spritz them with water and let it soak in for a bit before going to mix them up to get them workable again. It allows the water to penetrate better and makes the re-constituting easier.

You were so preoccupied with whether you could, you didn't stop to think if you should.
I love how you are honest and accept that the tools are so crucial. Strangely I've seen many KZread artists doing this trends where they do cheap va expensive and make it look "easy" because it's a 20 second shorts video... BUT THE TRUUUUTH ISSSSS..... That now after 3 Years of buying art supplies, like professional grade and my first set of real mom $10 a pack brushes I'm like YESSSSSS tools make you a better artist , quit lying media ! You're totally right
That’s my fave movie and absolutely one of my fave scenes altogether…there couldn’t be anything more appropriate than that particular scene ending in disaster as you try to recreate it in a medium and with tools you’re fighting against. Thankfully it was only a painting and there’s no Rex to take revenge! Loved the piece btw❤
"Gouache, uh, finds a way"
Not gunna lie, I love the effect the real rain had on this rain scene from JP. It has added a whole other dimension to the painting. ❤
The painting with a lesson to teach. about faith, about brushes and 😂the elements! The ultimate recycling painting. I love it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who had this same issue with himi gouache cause I'm just getting started with painting, and I was like how tf do I not ruin all of the paints? I have to use like 8 separate spoons to get the paint out onto the palette. It's a very frustrating design tbh. And it definitely is a roadblock for a beginner artist. I found myself getting so frustrated with the whole process that I didn't even want to paint anymore. I don't want to give up on gouache, but I'm definitely going to retire the cute youtube palette, and go for easier to use tubes.

In my experrience, cross contamination doesn't really do any harm. After all, I'm always mixing the paints anyway, and the pigment is so strong that the original color always overwhelms whatever other paint gets in there. If it gets too "dirty," I just give the cup a good stir, and the contaminating paint just gets mixed in and doesnt affect the paint in the cup. I do mix on a palette, but I dont worry about paint on my brush getting into another cup. My gouache looks quite a mess in the end, but I just stir it all up, and it's good to go again. Even the yellow and white.

advice for himi gauche: clean your pallet knifes or spoons before diving into another cup? that is the simplest way to stop cross contamination. i’ve been using gauche for almost a year and have never had cross contamination. as for your complaint about its pigment, that’s kinda the point. gauche is meant to be a paint you can use opaque or shear. that’s why people love it so much. put some paint on a pallet and dilute the color, do the same for a different color, and then mix the two. that stops the pigment from being so dominant. certain himi gauche colors are more pigmented than others (the light pink for ex), you may want to dilute those more. this is great paint for beginners, but if you find tubes easier you do you 🤷♀️ i recommend holbein or winsor and newton for tubes.
All I heard in my head was Alanis Morissette’s song 🎵” Isn’t it ironic”. Though it still looks better than anything I have done😅…….. I’ll get there😎
I love your painting. Even though you were unhappy with it I learned so much from watching you make it
I like it. Sometimes art is also about the back story of the piece, not just the image. And this story is interesting enough.

I’ve had mine for 2 years and there still wet, I spray them when I open them & mix with a palette knife. Paint and before I put them away spray with water again to keep moist. The only colour that I have to work hard to mix down is the yellow orche which I found was kind of hard from when i bought the paint. I had this set for a long time because it not my favourite go to gouache paint. Love Windsor & Newton paint
That extroverted gouache painting was flying back to its water environment 🤣
Having left a painting outside to dry and then have it ruined by unexpected rain myself, I feel validated to know that you have suffered the same fate. Nothing to do but get up and try again! Happy painting! 😆❤
His disaster painting is way better than my drawing 😆
You can just put enough water in the cups to cover the paint, wait a half an hour to an hour. No extraneous mixing required

Wonderful video Alpay, I love that you showed gouache can be salvaged to help others , the fact that you incorporated medias to show compatibility an educated others it's very versatile , I like to think the painting casually escaped your studio to enhance the video an show the after effect should the gouache an media mixes become wet :) Brilliant fun !
Great painting (before rain edition)! I take my HIMIs out every few months, spray some water on them, give them a swirl with toothpicks, and then put them back in storage. That way they stay wet enough to use them when I want to. I personally prefer using brushes for acrylics with gouache, since they don't hold as much water. I also like using the diagonal/cut off brushes that look like this \|----. Interesting to see your paint process here. I also start with the shadows first. Now I want to paint with some Gouache again!

Have used this paint in tubes for many years - mainly painting 1-2inch brands for washcare and fashion labels - you can never have too many small brushes😂

I personally have a thing for something being "broken" or unusal. Once I bought a box from a shop because it must have been dropped several times which ruined its rounded corners and I knew people would rather buy the boxes in better shape. He still lives in my kitchen to this day, holding some candies. I'd hang this painting because I actually like its backstory and the flaws it got from its failed escape.
Alpay executed the story literally.
