 Hello everybody and welcome to another product review video this week. We're gonna jump into Liquitex acrylic Goche go our Geesh is I look we're gonna talk about a new paint range. I really like let's just get over the desk That's strict techno man sir. That is Vinci V. Let us get to the technique and learn it Vinci V All right, so let's talk about these Liquitex acrylic Goche gouache Look, I don't know how to pronounce this word and I'm not gonna lie to you and pretend like I do I don't know how to pronounce most any words So this is just not even in the realm of possibility But this is a paint range that I've recently gotten a big amount of and I really like so let's talk about the basics first You may be familiar with these acrylic gouaches goches guayish Quiches before we're gonna call them quiches from now on with these acrylic quiches There are other sort of this exists as a concept often times they use in watercolor paintings They don't have the same binder in them. So they'll reactivate. That's sort of the ones I've used before These do these are traditional acrylic paints once they set they do not reactivate They're just like everything else. These are an artist paint. So they're not really intended for miniature painting You'll notice I have two different size bottles here these little bottles, which are 22 milliliters So just slightly more than most of the Bottles you're gonna get from miniature painting come in a 12 pack for about $50, $55 depending on where you buy it US obviously that's gonna vary around the world I got mine from my local art store. You can also get it from Amazon and stuff like that These bigger individual bottles have tend to vary a little in price Depends where you get them from some places like Dick Blick have them and so stuff like that These tend to be anywhere between $11 and $15 per bottle So again, they will vary because they're artist paints and so hence because of the different pigments that are used They're using high-quality pigments. Hence they will vary in cost based on the cost of that pigment So big bottles are expensive, but you are getting 60 milliliters as you can see basically in there 59 So in this case, it's more than three times Our regular paint bottles so on that regard. They're actually about the same as what we pay for miniature paint If you figure you're getting, you know, 17 milliliters for about three to four dollars then paying You know 11 or 12 for three times. That's pretty much right in line Though if you're gonna buy the entire range in these big bottles, you are gonna lay out quite a lot of cash As artists paints they give us a lot of information, which is fantastic They come in a range from single pigment as you can see this is Like the this one right here is single pigment So the magenta is just using your traditional PR 122 the basic magenta pigment you see most of the time Same with the primary red and the dioxazine purple again pv 23 and pv 19 exactly what you would expect But then they also have mixtures, but nicely they do actually lay out all of the different pigments that are used in the mixture And if there's ratios, they'll give you the ratios They also are Lightfast as they say on the side. They have an excellent lightfastness rating. So they will hold up You can also see the opacity. So that's little square right here Basically, you can see the red is marked as semi opaque. That's what that little square means that whereas the black means opaque So you get a lot more information than you do when you buy miniature paints, you know the pigments that are in them Everything is very clear. You know how they're gonna mix The range of colors in this is actually pretty large now. It's not You know, it's not a miniature paint range from Vallejo or something, right? But there is quite a good range There's about 40 different colors in this so you can get quite a wide range You don't have to just mix which is an advantage over other Artist paint ranges a lot of them you end up really needing to get very comfortable very fast With mixing and some paint colors are just hard to figure out how they got there You know exactly what they added in what ratios to get to that point you do not deal with that with these or at least as much They obviously cover the whole spectrum of the rainbow quite well. So including fluorescent colors, which are also good But of course enough of the preamble Talking about price and the amount you get and stuff like that your question is but Vince. How do they paint? Great question. Let's get out of many and let's see how they do All right, so Let's talk about the palette the paint itself first of all I really like the design of the bottle the top just pops off Nice and easy right there and you can see they've got this little tip We just go ahead and pop a little paint right out there onto the thing boom easy Breezy cover girl. Let's bring that over now These as you can see are thicker paints, but they're not super thick as I spread them out You know, they look very much like maybe slightly thicker miniature paints Then then we'd be used to but as they are quite pigment rich They thin out really well So you can do everything from your normal work to wet blending down to very thin glazing and filtering with absolutely no issue I found that they're all really pigment rich. There are discreet paints So you really do get your money's worth out of that bottle Let's get a miniature in here and actually show these in action. All right here. We have our fun centaur fellow Let's start with a little purple as you can see we're just going to thin it down some here and Then let's just give it a little little paint We'll start on his armor plate here turn that a nice purple now what I have found is that some of these paints do have a Honestly slightly lower opacity than what it says on the bottle That is to say the coverage is decent, but not exceptional So if you are talking base coating, they do work well over something like a zenithal, but with a lot of them They are still quite strong. It's not weak paint not by any stretch of the imagination It's just if you're going to take the color over a You know straight black or something as usual You'll need to apply multiple thin coats to get there. So not that much different than the paints we'd be used to At the same time we can of course mix them without issue again because we have two Single-color paint. It's a sorry single pigment paints. We end up with a really nice Ability to mix and get something that's a clean mixture between the two colors Without any issues so we can get a nice rich Purple there much more red infused and as you can see Covers that rather nicely so something over a zenithal or a brighter color you'll generally get a pretty true pretty solid opacity out of it the colors themselves Like I said do come in a wide range What you would expect is the ones that are that have a lot more Variation in the pigments are the ones that where you can end up with mixes that don't cover as well Not too surprising there given that you're talking about you know when you start getting three or four pigments in the mix Even though they're all listed You're still going to end up in a situation where it's very likely that some of those pigments that are in there Are a little transparent and aren't going to cover quite as well as you want Things like this peach though. I absolutely love it for the tone is a good example of where that happens some of the more intense single pigment colors like the Like the dioxazine purple Like the primary red honestly produce a little stronger results, especially over brighter under shades but That doesn't really matter like I said When you're dealing with artist paints you have to accept that if they're not going to put thickeners in them or something like that To to beef them up You're going to have some that just don't have full opacity Because that's the nature of the different pigments when you're dealing with these different pigments Some of them are not going to cover as well. That is simply the reality of the pigment in question But as you can see they go on really really smooth. I actually love the the sort of Way these things flow off the brush with just a little bit of water in there and they're good to go So I've absolutely been enjoying the heck out of painting with these They just come right off. They produce a very smooth very flat very matte result Most of them are quite matte, which is the whole point of the quiche go ash goosh quiche Goosh they Those are basically the that word really just means very matte paint So the advantage to these is they are super duper matte when they go on allowing you to Know you're going to get a good quality result that doesn't produce a bunch of unexpected glossiness No real need to suddenly matte them out or anything like that We can see how when we Get our second coat on here now that this is dry We do get it up to full opacity very easily no issue easy peasy So overall these things are really really fun. I've had a great time Painting with this paint. I do Recommended if you like artist paints if you're looking for a good range I find it to be something in like a chimera or the golden so flats It's very similar to both of those for me Some of the yellows in my testing performed a little better than either of those ranges So I enjoyed that like I like their their primary yellow and their yellow ochre a little more than either of the golden or the The golden or the chimera these are also a little more consistent in their Viscosity I guess I would say then some of the Some of the chimeras because a lot of the chimeras will vary some are super liquidy some are super jelly and thick These you get pretty much the same exact experience out of every bottle. I haven't seen really any variation between all of them Great control great viscosity great flow The whole way through so I've just been having a grand old time painting with them Finding them very pleasurable to paint. So there you go That's a that's the the paint in action I hope that you can See how easy that is to work with as I'm painting behind his axe like a genius But yes, as I said, so for any your normal miniature painting purposes These are a great option a little more expensive, but overall great paint with So I really like these overall. I give them an a they're definitely worth the pickup I have a picked up a bunch of the range and just to have been having a great time painting with it If you are looking for a new paint range and you want to try mixing a little more Not as much as maybe you would have to do with the golden or with the chimera or something But you want to try a little more mixing. This could be the way to go for you the saturation is incredible the Ability to really get some nice intense popping colors has been something I've really enjoyed and maybe you'll enjoy it too If you liked this, hey, give it a like Subscribe for more product reviews in the future.
