Riso Chan

Riso Chan is an artist and creative teacher based in Amsterdam. She grew up in an artistic environment, her mother being a sculptor, which inspired her to explore her own creativity from an early age. She believes that portraits can be a very powerful way to express emotions and human beauty. It is a language on its own, that doesn’t use words to communicate, this is why most of her work revolves around portraits. Riso works mainly with watercolour and gouache, although she also experiments with digital painting occasionally.

Face Of Emotion

This month we are providing you with the tools and inspiration to explore Gouache (pronounced ‘gwosh’) paint. A water-based medium that is like a mash-up of water colour and acrylic, these paints give a flatter matte finish and are much more opaque than standard water colours. Use the paints a little thicker that you would a normal watercolour and try your hand at producing an emotive portrait. Use the inspiration from our featured artist to paint bold strokes and build up layers to create texture. Who will you choose to paint and which emotion will you try and convey?

#InsideTheBox

Inside the box

Daler Rowney Aquafine Gouache

This colour pack is an ideal introduction to Aquafine Gouache watercolour paints. Aquafine watercolours are made from a careful selection of modern high-quality pigments milled to perfection to offer optimal performance and control. These rich colours have beautiful pigmentation and properties that produce beautiful, delicate washes every time. These paints combine a modern way of using watercolour with the traditional essentials that come with using this medium, which makes this innovative range ideal for mixed media as well as traditional techniques.

Royal Talens Van Gogh 191 Series Brush

Van Gogh brushes are made with the utmost of care and craftsmanship. This 191 series (No. 6) is a round brush made with high quality golden synthetic hair. The fine tip makes it great for controlled detail, but with a little pressure can produce bold thick strokes. The flexible and strong bristles makes it resistant to wear so it's a great brush for everyday use. It is also designed with a high density of hair so it can hold a large amount of paint, making it the perfect instrument for gouache watercolour painting.

Lyra Robinson 3B Pencil

This is an outstanding quality wood and lead pencil from Lyra. These pencils are fast becoming a very popular drawing product because of their high quality build and their reliable use. It's a very smart looking drawing instrument, with a high-gloss blue colouring, a coloured dipped end and gold embossed grading. It certainly makes for a great addition to your pencil collection and the soft core will give a nice dark line

KUM Natural Eraser

This simple high quality eraser can eliminate most pencil lines without causing any unsightly smudging, smearing or bleeding. It is made of a high-grade material that is soft and gentle, ensuring there is no unnecessary straining to your paper. It is extremely versatile and can be used on a variety of different surfaces such as paper, cardboard and wood. The KUM eraser is also made from natural materials, so it is free of PVC, latex and phthalates.

Bockingford CP Watercolour Paper 220gsm

A very popular watercolour paper that is highly absorbent, with a beautiful textured look and feel. It is traditionally made at St Cuthberts Mill, using a high alpha cellulose. It has an attractive surface that is created using natural woollen felts which gives the paper a beautifully textured finish that is very stable, and with excellent colour lifting abilities.

I liked the box very

I liked the box very much, I like to paint with gouache. The only thing, it was not very convenient to work with such a dense material with such a soft brush, but otherwise 10/10.

This box lit a creative

This box lit a creative spark in me and working with it brought me joy. The only thing I missed was a palette to work on but besides that it was good fun!

Perfect for experimenting gouache!

This box was perfect for trying gouache for the first time! Perfect colors and super duper paint quality! I would recommend 110%!

Perfect set for learning

I loved the range of colors and the many different tones and values you can achieve with them. The texture of the paper was great, the brush performed perfectly and you can take it with you everywhere. With the pencil and eraser I think is the perfect set of supplies to learn and experiment... Love it.

I ordered this as a

I ordered this as a 'previous box' as I wanted to try out gouache. The paint was so vibrant. The travel brush comes with the brush inside the 'lid', which when you take the brush out becomes the rest of the brush handle. The brush had lovely bristles and they reshaped well after use, but I did find that the brush itself fell apart while I was using it, or cleaning the brush (i.e. the brush and handle came apart while using it). Still loved the box though!

Bought for my mother, she

Bought for my mother, she really enjoyed the box. Great quality products motivated her to start painting again.

Beautiful items

Loved the box

Great !

Great to you try new techniques with new supplies. A bit tricky to learn but like the end effect. Great quality range on this box.

Loved it

I absolutely loved this box! The paints were so much fun and I loved trying gouache for the first time :smiley:

Gouache fan!

Gouache is my favourite paint to use so I HAD to have this box! The paint is quality and a pleasure to use. The pencil, paper and eraser were equally as good quality and the brush even though initially thought broken was actually a clever little tool I hadn't come across before that I had fun using! :relaxed:

November 19 Gouache Paints, Scrawlr Box

I had never used Gouache Paints before. I enjoyed this box and having an item that came in a set rather than just one item or a couple. I loved the concept of the travel paint brush but they should invent a locking one because i have issues with the top slipping off in the middle of painting, which is a shame because the brush head itself is an amazing quality brush. All in all this box was a pretty good start to my introduction of Scrawlr Boxes. Thank U :wink::+1::skin-tone-2:

Great box.

Great box.

Nice mid-range gouache set

I usually use the Himi gouache (student) or Winsor and Newton (professional) gouache so it was nice to discover a gouache range that fits right in the middle in terms of quality so I can paint without feeling guilty.

The gouache paints are absolutely

The gouache paints are absolutely beautiful - loads of pigment, very easy to blend and work with. I left my palette out over night to see how easy they were to reactivate once dry, and it was no problem at all. Beautiful colors and quality, very fun to play with!

The only downside for me was the paper - very thin, buckled easily even taped down. I ended up throwing it away, but since the paper quality has been excellent in all the other boxes I assume this is because it's an older box.

I still use these supplies

I still use these supplies in other artworks. Super awesome!

Great quality products, never would have tried otherwise

First time getting to even see Gouache paint out of the tube, so this box was a win - I wouldn't have risked buying any otherwise. This is the best part of Scrawlrboxes; all the experimenting and surprises. Such a quality set.

I originally ordered this box,

I originally ordered this box, but then I have been informed that it was out of stock which didn't show up due to a website error. As much as I was bummed, I was offered to pick from all boxes in stock not depending on their price! I unfortunately cannot speak on the quality of this particular box but their customer service is great!

I loved playing around with

I loved playing around with the materials in this box. An excellent value for money. Scrawlr box always manages to pull it out the bag with such a good range of items. I knew exactly what i was doing to do with this box so it was easy to start!

Excellent value, good quality items,

Excellent value, good quality items, now if I could just crack the “code” on how to use gouache without frustration, I’d be happy

Very nice gouache

This is really nice gouache and I'm enjoying painting with it.

Nice!

Nice!

Amazing!

I absolutely loved this challenge as it was so out of my comfort zone. That’s my favourite thing about these boxes it always pushes me to try new things out that I would never usually try or even think about.

Nov '19 ScrawlrBox

Another great looking box! Not normally one to mess about with paint but who knows I could find I like it. The whole idea behind buying the boxes was to try new ideas. Looking forward to trying this one!
