Me too! Gouache is great for travel. Because it dries fast, it packs up quickly as you go from one place to the next, and because it has no mess or aroma, you can paint indoors and all sorts of places where oil would be impossible.

"Remember, it hasn't to be perfect, it's just a sketchbook." Yes. That's a lesson I have yet to learn *laughs*. Whenever I see other people's amazing sketchbooks I get all "omg I want this, too!", which is why I am afraid of having "messy" or "ruined" pieces in my sketchbook and put way too much pressure on myself. A friend of mine also tends to say that my sketchbook looks more like an "artbook" due to this. Thank you for the great lesson and the wonderful video ♥

I have few questions : 1) Why gouache is not commonly used on canvas when it is possible? 2) Why gouache art is not exhibited in museums and galleries? Is it not archivable? 3) Is it true that Gouache when used directly from tube without much water, it gives good vibrant hues like acrylics? Actually, after following Iam addicted to gouache, so I want to take it further.....please comment. your comments about Gouache is testament for me!
@Citizen_X.

1. Gouache is water soluble so not a good medium for canvas as it can easily be rubbed out. 2. Gouache has usually been considered a Illustrators medium. There are great illustrators like Harry Anderson and J. C. Leyendecker who painted with Gouache and their work is displayed in galleries. Since they're painted on paper or Illustrators board they are not as archivable as Oil on Canvas. The reason Illustrators used Gouache is because it acted like Oil Paint but it dried fast so they can be quickly mailed to the publishers. The downside is it is not as archivable. 3. I have painted with both Gouache and Acrylics and in my personal opinion Acrylic colors are more vibrant than Gouache. But, I think certain brands might be different.
