HIMI Gouache Wetting Spray 200ml (6.76 oz), Moisturizing Palette Spray for Gouache Paint, Reactivates Dry Pigments, Professional Art Supplies & Gift for Artists and Hobbyists

I ordered Himi Jelly Gouache but I started back into painting after decades away and watercolor was my first choice. I haven’t made my way to gouache yet. But I easily overheat so I have to have multiple fans running on me (and my watercolor palette) constantly and it was causing my watercolor to skin over. I decided to give this a try. Of course I could use a regular water bottle, but this was inexpensive, the correct size, and I know the base ingredients don’t vary much between watercolor and gouache so I decided to give it a try. It worked great! It isn’t going to fully reconstitute dried paint, but it extended the working time of my watercolor paints and kept the consistency constant and flowing without changing the color or sheen of the paint on the paper. I just lightly spritzed it on the watercolor paints on my palette and only noticed good things. The texture was light as air, it doesn’t have a distinct odor (and I have an extremely sensitive nose) and it didn’t seem greasy/grimy/heavy/viscose. It stretches through a lot of uses. I have had numerous painting sessions and the bottle isn’t even half gone. I took pictures and didn’t notice until editing that the cap was askew. That isn’t a defect, it just didn’t get pushed down all of the way apparently. The bottle seems well made and durable as I have dropped it too many times to count! I will come back and review how the product works with the Himi Jelly Gouache, the product it was formulated to work with, once I get a chance to explore their gouache and see how it works. The pictures in the product description seem to speak for themselves - I was wondering how those tubs of jelly were going to handle being open and this looks like a great solution!

This is what is needed to keep your gouche mold free and moist. The smell is not bad. It seems to also have some type of moisturizer in it and some kind of alcohol. Although this is a small bottle it is going to last a long time.

THIS STUFF WORKS!!!!!!! I have gone months at a time without opening my gouache, and it's this stuff that keeps it fresh and mold free, just spritz a bit on before and after you use it and you're good to go!!!!! So if you're on the fence about buying it, I highly recommend it, especially if you're afraid of your gouache becoming moldy.

Wow! Completely rehydrated my himi gouache after they almost completely dried out. I gave them a very generous spraying with this stuff, wrapped tightly with saran wrap to lock in moisture, and closed the lid again over night. The next day I used a paint knife and remixed all the colors after spraying again, and they look great. I'm so happy because I thought my paints were a goner. Only thing, I wish I'd bought the bigger one! Ah well, now I know it works great. Much better then my previous attempt I made with just water.

I'd glad MIYA made this product. I don't use my Himi gouache consistently, so I have a lot and I'm not willing to air it out to dry out. I bought the 200ml from another website twice before, and it has helped keep my gouache mold-free. This is my third bottle bought from here. It helps keep my gouache moisturized too. When I DO get to use my paints, it gets a little dry and hard to pick up, so I spray and it helps a lot. After a sketch painting, I spray the individual paint colors, spray in between broken up pieces of gouache and use an electric mixer to mix my gouache up. This is better than water, I swear. You run the risk of mold with water, and water dilutes paint. But this spray doesn't really have my gouache super runny like water does. Be wary that the spray smell can be strong for some. It's not for my friend, but it is for me. So of course, make sure you don't unknowingly exhale the spray particles, it can hurt or slightly agitate your nostrils. I highly recommend this product. Consider buying the 200ml, you might run through the 100ml quick.

I think that this is probably just alcohol mixed with water, because it smells strongly of alcohol. Granted it does the job of keeping mold away, it does dry out my paint in my opinion. I use my gouache frequently and when I spray this, I have to work to mix the paint again or else it will not work correctly. You cannot just spray and go. The bottle itself is a good size, has no color or change the texture of the paint, and is decent. It’s a good value for money if you’re constantly fighting mold on your paint.

Works well for him I gouache,I haven’t had any mold. Also even sometimes I forget about the paint for a week or two.but the paint always in good condition!

Hi, yes you do need this! When you buy any of the HIMI gouache sets you definitely need this spray. You can’t have one without the other. So remember to purchase this too. It helps keep your paint moisturized once you open your paints. You just spray it onto your paint. It’s that easy to apply. It has no color it.

Achei muito interessante muito bom mesmo

El spray llegó en buen estado a pesar de sólo venir en una bolsa de paquetería y mucho antes de tiempo. El vendedor súper atento se puso en contacto para confirmar que había recibido el producto en buen estado. Ya lo probé en mi set de pinturas gouache, le quitó el hongo por completo y pude reactivar las que estaban secas.

Chegou rápido, ainda não testei mas espero que funcione. A garrafa é grande e veio bom cheio.

Pretty good they do not affect the color as they say easy to use and no issue with texture as well good for the himi gauche color set

Super
