Those are delightful! Which brand of gouache do you use? Those colors are positively vibrant, more like watercolor than gouache.

There is some secret here: to get such bright shades, you need to make several blanks in jars, mixing gouache colors with white gouache paint. Then when you work, you get such a rich effect in drawing.gouache. : )

Thank you kindly for your secret. I will try this on my next gouache painting. But the question still stands: What's your brand?

I have a supplier's house brand, made by Schmincke, but I would call them student quality. The Schmincke Horadam gouaches are a bit too expensive for me, beautiful as they may be. So I'm still looking for an alternative.

Usually I use St. Peterburg's brand. This paints is not so expensive as other world's famous brands.

Nevskaya Palitra... I have some White Nights watercolors of theirs which are really excellent quality and I like them very much. And you're absolutely right, very good value for money. I will follow your advice and buy some next chance I get. Thank you and enjoy your weekend.
