A distraction? Gouache swatches

Can you see me diverging from my current thread? Got a delivery of lovely gouache tubes and the cute little box from Artemiranda that I had seen on Maru Godas's Instagram. Couldn't resist it!!

As if I don't have enough colours!! But gouache is like candy. So hard to resist!! Particularly when they have Japanese names.


Love love love the green mixes! The kouji and tokiwamidori both contain the same yellow, PY83 (and Indian yellow, Google tells me). Mixing with white and with black is an extra treat with gouache, something I don't do in watercolours. Mixing with white creates all these lovely pastel colours!
