Collection: HIMI Jelly Gouache & Watercolour Sets

HIMI invented the jelly cup format and built a following fast — particularly among illustrators, urban sketchers and students who want paint that is ready the moment they open the case. No tubes to squeeze, no palette to load. The sealed cups keep the gouache soft and workable between sessions, and a drop of water brings anything back to life if it starts to skin over.

We stock the full HIMI range at bradburyART: jelly cup gouache sets from 18 to 56 colours, twin cup sets from 12 to 112 colours — including the new themed 12-colour palettes — solid and semi-moist watercolour sets, brushes, paper pads and the moisturising spray that keeps everything fresh.

Pick your paint format

• Twin Cup Gouache Sets – two shades per slot for more variety in the same space
• Jelly Cup Gouache Sets – compact, beginner-friendly sets for sketchbooks and studies
• Watercolour Sets – travel-ready palettes for washes, glazing and line & wash

Complete the setup

• Brush sets – practical synthetics for washes and detail
• Mixed media paper – a solid surface for gouache and light water
• Moisturising spray – helps keep jelly cups workable between sessions
• Foldable palette – handy for mixing and testing colour

If you're new to gouache, start with an 18 or 24 colour set, add a synthetic brush set, and use mixed media paper for cleaner colour and easier layering. The themed 12-colour twin cup sets make an easy second palette once you know where your sketchbook tends to wander.
