You know what it has been a while since I have...
Tried a new art supply.
So, mmm.
This is heavy.
Like, whoa!
Man!
Okay, let's just open it.
Ooo, This is cute. I'm excited. I'm very excited.
Look how pretty this is.
So if you guys have never heard of jelly gouache...
That's what this is.
I've seen some youtube artists use it.
I got this idea from my friend Steph,
from the average artist,
and...
I knew I had to try it.
It just looked really fun.
Basically,
imagine jelly taking on the form of paint.
That's what this is.
So let's open it up and...
Uh, I can't get it.
[Case pops open]
Urgh, whoa!
Oh boy, oh my goodness, this is bad guys.
Oh!
Oooh.
Um.
I might have gotten a faulty palette. I don't know.
Do you see that? It's already exploded.
Good thing I wasn't holding that like over my body,
'cause paint...
Paint just went everywhere.
Well, jelly gouache.
We're off to a...
Start, let's just say.
Man, I was like expec-
I was really expecting um...
It to be all like really cute when I opened it.
It's still pretty cute though.
I'm not gonna be hard on them. [Chuckles]
A thank you for purchasing from them.
That was sweet!
All right. Well.
I totally just flung those paint crums.
We are gonna paint, try these out.
See what's going down.
Yeah, look what happened to this. [Laughs]
So that exploded.
And all this exploded.
I'm not really sure how, because this was like on.
It looks like they're like stabbed down.
I don't know but I mean paint is paint. Whatever.
I'm just gonna...
Place these all on a paper towel, I guess.
Alright y'all, I got an old pair of tweezers,
because I just think this would be faster
than trying to pick at it with my hands.
Maybe not.
Why is this hard to open?
Oh, oh, oh, we got it. We got it.
Doing paint surgery!
I didn't think this would be like - [Laughs]
Such an intense part of this video.
[Laughs] I'm...
Really nervous doing this to be honest,
like I'm a little shaky.
[Gasps]
Oh my goodness this color's so pretty.
Oh, this is a mess guys.
Alright practicality rating:
Like a 2!
The only reason why I'm giving it any points,
is 'cause you can put that lid back on to keep it wet later!
But come on, who is gonna want to peel all this foil off
when they get it and have paint explode everywhere?
I've been wanting to try this stuff for a really long time though.
Because....
Y'all know me I really like gouache, so.
Okay, now we finally have this bad boy opened up.
Look at this!
This is - It's actually very heavy.
I would venture to say this is like three pounds of paint.
I don't know three or four pounds.
I mean, this is pretty heavy.
But look how pretty that is.
It has an interesting smell like...
There's something familiar about it.
I don't know..
There's a lot of paint that has been smelled in my life, so.

Thank you so much Skillshare for sponsoring this video
and let's get on to painting.
Let's have a fun like paint with me.
Try a new art supply sort of sesh.
I'm just gonna use this as my mixing tray.
Which, something cool is
you can take it out and have double the mixing.
So that's kind of sweet.
Ooh, this is nice!
Everything is so smooth!
So right now, I'm just laying down some color for a sunset
I'm trying to do like a loose landscape painting.
'Cause I've never really done that with gouache before.
So, you know,
the logical thing to do when you try supplies is
to do something you've never really done with it before.
♫
Alright, admittedly, I was - [Laughs]
I was very annoyed when I first..
opened this just because the box.
But I pretty much feel like I forget that that happened
because
The stuff is amazing.
It was well worth of the money.
♫
It is so incredibly easy to blend with this stuff.
I'm just like shocked.
And it lays down like acrylic paint almost but it's gouache!
Get out of here. This is great.
♫
Just saying this reactivates really nicely too!
Look how cute all these colors are together.
♫
Man! This is so cool! [Laughs] I love this stuff!
♫
Isn't it crazy that like clouds float above us?
I'm just painting these and thinking about that.
Like how wild but that's normal to us.
And then like...
I don't know.
Getting all philosophical.
♫
Okay, the sky I think is at a good point right now,
for us to move elsewhere.
So I'm using a reference photo from pixabay
and there happens to actually be a boat. [Laughs]
and I think I'm just gonna go for it and wing it and see,
I don't know, if we like the boat being in the picture.
I'm probably gonna alter this though, 'cause I -
Every time I use reference photos, I do, I alter things.
[Chuckle]
I'm gonna omit the oars.
That will be our boat later. Mm-hmm.
Okay, so the water in the picture is a very -
How should I say this? Still.
Um, there aren't many ripples in it.
And I am going to change that
because I would like to have some ripples up in the water
♫
Alright, my husband just came in here and looked at this
and he thinks this paint is cool now too,
don't you babe?
(Dorv) "Yeah I do! It's really smooth" (Mira) "Yeah."
It's really smooth. That's like a cool way to describe it.
So I am working on the water now.
We are no longer going off of the reference photo.
I kind of just like pulled together other pictures
and I'm making stuff up and yeah.
I think it'll be cool. I don't know.
I don't know if I'm going to keep the boat or get rid of it,
We'll roll with it
♫
So one thing I'm doing is like holding my brush
super loosely to do these water ripples.
I've been practicing water quite a bit lately.
As you can probably tell,
it's like my latest phase of the year.
And this is something I have felt has helped me...
Not paint so tightly.
I've said this in videos throughout the years like,
if you don't want to be super tight,
hold your brush or your utensil near the end.
Um.
I definitely think that's true for water especially, but yeah.
♫ "Life is a winding road."
♫ "No telling where it goes."
♫ "Driving through days and nights."
♫ "Wont stop for traffic lights"
♫ "And I really wanna know, really wanna know."
♫ "If I'll ever figure out where the road goes."
♫ "Even if you're falling down."
♫ "I will keep on searching for my highs."
♫ "You can say I lost my mind."
♫ "I will keep on holding my head high."
♫ "Even the sky is falling down."
♫
Alright, this might be kind of hard
because I am not using a reference photo for the water
[Laughs]
and
yeah.
I looked at one picture for like ripples
but, um,
what I'm doing is completely different, so.
[Nervous squeal]
I might have to pull up some references here and there
'Cause I want this to look good.
♫"Jumping from cliffs so high."
♫"Trusting our wings to fly."
♫ "Sometimes we're crashing down,"
♫ "but we get up and start from the ground."
♫ "And I, I really wanna know, I really wanna know."
Hmm do I want like trees on the horizon or something?
It needs a pop of contrast.
That's already a game-changer.
Hmm, I wonder is like on this side I should do,
maybe like a little island or a pier
or a boat in the distance.
Wow, wow, so many options.
A pier it is. [Laughs]
Maybe a little like a boat right here, too.
Hmm, or like right here.
♫
There we go, a little boat!
And maybe another like tree,
over here.
Man, I feel like I'm Bob Rossing this over here.
I'm like, oh a boat, oh a tree!
This is the most stress relieving paint time
I've had in a while
[Laughs]
So this stuff layers really, really nicely.
I think that's why I like it so much
because
there's a couple other gouache brands that I've used that,
I mean I really like them, but,
they reactivate like super easy.
I feel like...
Even though these paints are smooth...
They're a little harder to reactivate
once you lay them down.
So that's nice.
♫ "Figure out where the road goes."
♫"Even if I'm fallin' down,"
♫ "I will keep on searching for my highs"
♫ "You could say I lost my mind."
♫"I will keep on holding my head high"
♫ "Even if the sky is fallin' down."
♫ " Sky is fallin' down."
♫
So I think we finished this
and yeah, we're gonna take the tape off. So.
Are you ready for the most satisfying part?
Let's do this!
Ooh , this washi tape comes off really nice.
Oh, oh you just want to come off in one piece?
I'm up for that - Oh.
Spoke too soon.
Okay. We are - We need to stop. Okay. There we go.
Mayonnaise!
I am happy with this.
This was so therapeutic and fun.
Alright, this is what it looks like from a distance.
Alright, honestly guys, I had so much fun painting this
and this...
This gouache is really good. Like, whoa!
So, I'm excited.
I'm probably gonna be using it quite a bit now
because I just found a really cool art supply!
And that's always a fun thing.
Anyway, if you painted along with me,
or drew in your sketchbook or something,
let me know what you made down below
and if you're feeling inspired lately.
Uh.
I don't know. Let me know that too.
It's kind of coming and going in waves for me right now.
So yeah, but today, we're inspired.
Alright, thank you Skillshare for sponsoring today's video
and thank you guys for watching!
Have a good day. Bye.
