If you’ve been searching for HIMI gouache in the UK, we’ll shortly be stocking a focused range in-store and online — including the popular jelly cup sets, twin cup gouache systems, and watercolour travel cases.
This is what’s landing — and why we’re bringing it in.
What Is HIMI Jelly Gouache?
HIMI is best known for its jelly gouache sets — high-pigment, opaque paint presented in sealed cups inside compact carry cases.
Unlike acrylic, gouache:
- Dries matte
- Can be reactivated with water
- Allows layering and reworking
- Works well in sketchbooks
The jelly format keeps the paint workable and reduces waste. For students and hobby artists, it’s a simple way to explore bold colour without investing in individual tubes.
Why We’re Adding HIMI to BradburyART
We don’t add ranges lightly.
HIMI fills a specific gap between student-grade paint and higher-end professional gouache. It offers:
- Strong colour saturation
- Clean presentation
- Accessible pricing
- Good gift potential
- A lower barrier to entry for beginners
It complements our existing paint ranges rather than competing directly with them. For artists testing gouache for the first time, it’s a practical starting point.
What’s Coming In?
We’ll be stocking:
Jelly Cup Gouache Sets
High-pigment colour in organised carry cases.
Twin Cup Gouache Sets
Larger colour selections in compact systems.
Semi-Moist & Solid Watercolour Sets
Portable cases with brush included.
Rewetting Spray & Accessories
Designed to help maintain paint moisture and usability.
This will be available both in-store on Callender Street and online for UK delivery.
Who Is HIMI For?
HIMI suits:
- Art students
- Illustration beginners
- Sketchbook artists
- Classroom use
- Creative gift buyers
If you currently use acrylic and want something more reworkable, gouache is worth testing. If you work in watercolour but want stronger opacity, jelly gouache offers a different look and feel.
