jelly cup gouache (a review?)

[egg_shell]

Mainly because Nancy was asking me about gouache once and I told her what I knew at the time - which wasn't much it seems now, so I wanted to explain about these new jelly cup ones I got. Here's some pictures of opening the case they came in and making a color chart:

Thanks! I think I'm really going to like using them.

Aaaah those images of the jelly cups are so satisfying. That must have been fun to open them all and check them out. <3

COLOR!! Yes.

very interesting !
thank you
the watercolor sketchbook i have been using has felt inadequate
not taking the paint quickly leaving a pale color
nowhere near vibrant enough needing over painting

(strange because i have been using this brand without this problem)

where did you get that set?
how do you have to care for the brushes?

I got it at amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08D3G7HMF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

You care for the brushes the same way as you would with watercolors. I usually did everything before with transparent watercolors. I'm looking forward to adding opaque paint to my repertoire.

These look interesting to use. I imagine they have more depth of color than watercolors.

They can definitely be opaque when used full strength. I haven't tried thinning them out to use like watercolor yet.
