About this deal

Gouache, also known as opaque watercolor, is a water-based medium paint consisting of a natural pigment, water, and a binder (such as gum arabic or dextrin).

You get the best of both worlds when using gouache, which makes it a fun and versatile medium to work with for artists.The Himi gouache paint set is portable and travel-friendly, making it great for urban sketching or en Plein air painting. It comes with 18 colors- Deep Red, Ochre, Violet, Ultramarine, Prussian Blue, Black, Ponceau, Earth Yellow, Midlum Yellow, Acid Blue, Grass Green, Burnt Umber, Rose, Lemon Yellow, Titanium White, White, Jade Green, Pale Green. If you plan on selling your art, you will want professional-grade paint so that you know which pigments are lightfast. Words are nice, photos are better, but really seeing these paints in action in the video is the best!

The Himi Gouache paint set I got has this pretty teal box and comes with a palette + 18 jelly cups inside. Not knowing what to expect, the set surprised me with 26 vibrant colors, a set of brushes, and a palette. If you are finished with your painting and want to clean your brushes, simply rinse them underwater, making sure to squeeze out all the paint. The paint goes on smoothly and can be easily blended, thinned down, or layered to create different effects.

If you are painting art you intend to sell; it would be even better to choose a paper of at least 300gsm. It has a gorgeous range of colors and yields beautiful results perfect for beginner artists or hobbyists. Because gouache paint needs a little bit of moisture to activate, it’s not the best medium for heavily textured papers or “tooth”. Review HIMI Gouache Paint is a student-grade gouache paint from Miya– an art equipment manufacturer from Hangzhou, China.

Gouache is a bit harder to get out of the paintbrush, so use a brush more similar to acrylic paintbrushes. If you need to mix a different color, you can use your paintbrush to lift out some gouache paint and mix it with another color on the Himi paint palette. There are also some artists who actually like their gouache dried out, so who knows – maybe you’ll like using gouache this way as well. If you run out of white, more Himi gouache can be purchased from Aliexpress or you could just mix it with a tube of white gouache from another brand.Himi gouache is highly regarded by artists and is considered to be one of the best brands of gouache paint available. Reduced waste: The jelly cups help to reduce paint waste since they contain a precise amount of paint, which can be used entirely without any leftover paint. You can never seal gouache as the pigment colors will reactivate and the entire painting will be spoilt. In this post, I will explain the characteristics of Himi Gouache that make it so popular and worthwhile compared to other gouache brands.

Good lightfastness: Himi gouache has good lightfastness, meaning that the colors will remain bright and vivid over time. This makes it great for carrying around, but usually I just leave the palette out in my painting area for easy access. So the best way to set up your Himi gouache paint is to select which colors you will be using for your artwork and then pull the plastic lids off the jelly cups without pulling them off completely. You can also use all the different gouache techniques, such as wet on dry, wet on wet, or dry on wet. I want to try painting with texture next- as these jelly paints will supposedly hold the brush or palette knife texture while drying.

Longer shelf life: Gouache paint in jelly cups tends to have a longer shelf life than tubed gouache paint since the cups are tightly sealed and prevent the paint from drying out. Since Gouache paint dries matte and can be semi-opaque, I tried out all the colors on black paper too.
