Ok I really want to try gouache is there a set you recommend to get started!
-
@carlianne i am not really in the position to do so since my own short experience is just based on one brand which i picked because its a local one. so i can tell you what i use and why but maybe there are other options for you in your region which might be a better pick
here a video where a bunch of brands gets looked at

one thing you can do to start small, which is mentioned in the video too. in the case you already have watercolors, you can just buy a gouache white and mix them together to make em opaque and get a feel of how it is to work with that medium.i for myself use schmincke horadam gouache in combination with the horadam watercolors which i purchased earlyer.
i picked the 3 primary colors +black&white and additionaly use my watercolors+white gouache.by using the primarys you start mixing the other colors you need which in itself is always good to know and when you notice that you want more specific colors which are not that easy mixable or you cant reach the vibrancy, you can always buy more tubes.

I did the Lineart with Pencil&Ink (for Inktober), Scanned it and Printed it on Watercolor Paper to go over it with the Paints. -
@Molambo I totally bought some gouache

@carlianne
i wish you much fun with it and be patient with the medium. do some experiments like see how you blend and stuff before you tackle a real image. might safe some frustration. -
@Molambo great advice!
