 At this point, how much jelly gouache do you think you've used or have? It's a good question. It's a great question in fact and yeah, I obviously have a problem and if you click this video, I feel like you also share in that problem so don't blame me, okay? That's it. Hi, welcome back to the Average. My name is Steph. I'm the Average Artist and today we are looking at and using it every single one of my jelly gouache paints and it was painful. It was painful to unleash these jellies into the world and think about how I was going to get them back in the box, but I did it all for your entertainment so please like the video. No, I did it because I thought it would be interesting to see all these jelly paints together because I obviously have an addiction and also, I mean, let's call it spade, it's jelly paints do quite well on YouTube so I like to review the jelly paints because it seems like something that everyone enjoys and I mean, I want people to watch my videos. I don't think there's any harm in that trying to like grow my audience and stuff so I mean like maybe people have problems with it but I feel like the people who have problems with it probably didn't click on this video or they did and they're like, you suck, how could you use jelly paint again? What's wrong with you? Yes, probably, probably those people. Anyway, it was really, it was really unfun, it was really fun, a little bit unfun to unbox all these jelly paints because I wanted to see them all together and make a cool thumbnail. There is something really satisfying about watching it and knowing how I placed them all out and I plan to place them all in a rainbow formation because you'll see why but also because, you know, it's pleasing but also there's a reason for me putting them in a rainbow formation. So there are 134 colors here, I think, roughly. I counted them but I'm a bad counter so I don't know, roughly, which I think there's a little less than I thought was going to be here. I thought there was going to be a lot but I guess that's not right. As you know, I've already said that I wanted to create this in a rainbow colored, I spent I guess is the word and as I was placing stuff down I was realizing that I didn't have that much desk space and they needed to figure out like to dark and also how the colors work together, like is this actually in rainbow order and I realized it's not in rainbow order because rainbows go red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo then violet and I went red, purples, blues, greens, yellowy, orange and then brown. Also, I don't use the brown in the end so this video is a lie. You might as well just delete me from your life because I don't use all the jelly paints here. No, okay, I don't and here's the reason why. Brown is an ugly color, okay, there's no game past it. I don't want it on my rainbow painting that I'm going to do, spoiler alert, it's going to be rainbow colored painting and also white. White didn't make much sense for me either, so okay, I use all of the colors that are pleasing to me in this piece. Also, there are a few jelly washes here that are super unsavable. I couldn't save them. When I went to dip into them it was like a rock and I was thinking I could go and put some like alcohol in this and revive them and stuff but it just, you know, just let it slide, okay? So here are all the colors, it's very pleasing and very, yes, I'm pleased with myself, okay? There I said it. These jelly paints, these jelly paints, obviously all different brands, so I'm going to name them. We have the Mia gouache HIMI gouache jelly paints, the original OGs that are in like the big palette form. I have the black palette and the white palette. The white palette contains jelly gouache that comes in little pots and also big ones, half and half. Don't know why, recently did a review on it, still don't know why. The black ones are just loads of paints but they have a row of metallic in it which I actually don't use in the end because I thought it didn't really make sense. There's another caveat to this video is that I didn't use the metallic ones, I probably should have but you don't even see them so I don't, I shouldn't have brought it up, just forget I said anything. We also have the ink lab honeycomb shaped ones which I'm a big fan of as well which look very nice when they're out of their giant pot. We have the Marie's, what's this called? Marie's brand which has like the chocolate kind of lid. They're okay, I think they're pretty much exactly the same consistency as the Mia gouache ones but because they have this like lid that's not super airtight that they dry out a bit more easily. We also have these bigger shaped ones which come from an unknown brand, they're just super cheap. I think they were like the cheapest ones I found on Amazon and yeah they were like 10 quid for a set of 12. And then finally we also have the Artex ones which are basically the same as Mia gouache ones which are very nice as well and those are all the paints that we have here today but back to this jelly endeavour, it's time to paint I guess after seeing finally everything arranged after arranging it and then rearranging it into the colour spectrum that I wanted it to be, it's time to get my paint on and the painting begins. What did I do here? That may be the question on everyone's lips. I started the hispai just splotching down paint and I was thinking I was gonna do you know the satisfying videos where they have like the pigment of the paint in like one little colour and then it dots along and it changes colour and it's these neat little dots and I was gonna try and do that and then I remember that I mean that was never gonna, that was not gonna be happening. I'm too impatient, I'm too, I'm not controlled like that so I felt like this piece spoke way more to the way that I am and it's definitely super indulgent because it's just, it's it's it's abstract so I mean at the end of the day you're either gonna like this or hate it I think and I kind of like it and it's gonna go on my wall and just be like this little reminder of colour and joy and just yeah like this little moment of joy in my life of just having fun with paint and I guess that will be a reminder to me to just play sometimes and to have joy in creating art which is something that I struggle with sometimes and I think I always have this mantra of like you're supposed to be enjoying this and I think when you do enjoy something you're creating it does reflect back into the work you're doing and I think people can see that and I hope that you can see that in this this piece that I'm having fun with it at first it was a little bit stiff it was a little bit difficult because I was like is this good is this gonna be good or is this should I just waste loads of paint and a canvas that was perfectly good that could have been used for something else but I do like it in the end I think it is just like a reminder that I'm gonna put on my wall basically to have fun with painting and I hope that it's a reminder for you guys to have fun with painting too because I know that we all get lost in the in the work I'm gonna speed this footage up because I think it's just I think it's really fun looking at this splotching of paint in fast forward mode because I don't know something soothing about it something satisfying if you'll let me use that word again for the millionth trillionth time about splotching paint onto a canvas and it was so much fun and I had my little Jackson Pollock moment and I hope that you will both forgive and enjoy this piece also I'm sorry if you can hear my cat in the background because he is meowing to go outside he's an indoor cat we made the mistake of letting him outside for like half an hour once now he's punishing us by constantly meowing for every minute of the day that he's awake literally every minute so yeah here's my not so coloured rainbow in the sense that it's correct Lee college because it's not correct at all but I do like the way that it looks and I hope that you guys like it too those keen eyed amongst you might notice that yes I did indeed start with the red way too much way too much uh red there because um I forgot how many paints I had to go was that kind of slow realisation that I'm running out of paper you know when you start writing a word and then the paper is like coming to an end it was that fiasco but I like it because it felt like it was getting more intense as you go down the colors here so yeah the greens and the yellows and that are a little bit squished on but please forgive me I kind of like it and we're done that is the painting I hope that you guys liked it and just um let me be indulgent for a little bit with this fun jelly painting I know it's not our usual content maybe some people are not pleased but you know what I'm enjoying myself and that's so that's that okay thanks for watching guys please like and subscribe and I hope to see you next time bye
