Beautiful. I like rainbow frogs, if your looking for another idea.

[ChristinaB-wyej]

All those extra details make such a difference. Love those vibrant colors too ❤

[ShadeofJeremy]

It is always fun trying something new. This painting turned out wonderfully. Nice and colorful.

[rachelwilson]

Beautiful! And don't limit your details if that's what makes you happy. Quality over quantity is always a good way to go! :)

[DazzlingAction]

I wouldn't mind you painting moths or butterflies as characters :)

[AdaRenedoFlorido]

I love all the colours you use, they are so beautiful and vibrant! ❤❤❤❤

Another wonderful video, Thaneeya. I really enjoyed watching you use gouache paints to paint this beautiful moth. The colours turned out to be very bright & vibrant. You do such a great job with your presentation & I loved the top you wore too, with your yellow beret. I will look forward to your next video. Xx🙂👍👋👋

I love the vibrancy of the moth. I have only used gouache on 2 paintings (realistic landscapes). For gouache I definitely prefer flats, filberts and angled brushes. I love watercolor, so obviously I use round brushes for this media. I enjoy the ability to add layers of opaque color, with the gouache. Both mediums are fun. I also take my time with details in all my artwork. My realistic watercolor, gouache and colored pencil take many, many hours to just make one creation..I don’t mind it.👩‍🎨🎨🥰

Great video. I have gouache but never used it. I learned a lot about it. Thank you❤

What a lovely moth! You are so skilled even with a new medium! 😮 When you said Flat, it reminded me that gouache was first used for commercial story boarding because it was flat! Think 50's and 60's Advertising Firms!
Atomic Cats?? 🎉🎉🎉

Super job! You learned a lot with just one painting which is helpful to everyone unfamiliar with gouache. Holbein brand is one of the best and yes, newer supplies have a creamier consistency. I agree and prefer trying different styles and techniques. Quite often I use colored pencils for details over the gouache.

Also, I'm curious if anyone else experienced an excessive amount of intrusive ads throughout this video... they showed up around every 4 minutes (or less!) which really rattles my ADHD focus issues.

Another lovely video and beautiful painting.. I've downloaded the moth pages to try. I coloured a few of your mandalas yesterday and loved every minute! Gave both my alcohol and water based markers a good workout.
Hope you managed to recover the black tube. And yes i'd love you to paint an axolotl please 🙂

I loved the super vibrant colors, my dreams are more like gauche than acrylic. I will definitely be using gauche in my near future. Now I have seen this gauche set, I know what level I can rate my dream vibrancy. I think I was drawn to your content by your thumbnail because the colors you use are a lot like I used to color and draw as a child. I don't know when I let that vibrant color palette go for sure but I believe it was when I had a teacher badger me and at some point throw my art piece away at 9 years old in 4th grade.

That was a very hard year for me already, and her personality and attitude caused me to focus less on school work. I am not sure if that's the response she expected because it made me draw more things I saw instead of my dreams and imagination to get away from focusing on her, but it did not stop my drawings.

The teacher next year tried to help me into the gifted and talented program, which would have solved my classroom bordem. The only reason that 4th grade was hard was because I had to figure everything out in that class by myself. I was then glad we had different subject teachers. This is what got her caught. Her subjects were my lowest grades ever.

Anyways, now I think back I had left colorful drawings that year. They no longer had rainbows in them until for a brief moment in the next grade before my family moved at the start of 5th. Now, my art is slowly getting different levels of vibrancy, and I finally found my time of artistic freedom of expression. Your art reminded me of what had fallen out of my original art style. I enjoy your videos and always watch the videos of my subscribed channels to the end, even if it is divided in halves or 4ths. Thank you for sharing, You! 🤗❤️👍🏽💯
