    과슈를 한 번이라도 그려 본 사람이라면 앞에 있는 개체부터 그리는게 더욱 어렵다는 것을 알 수 있습니다. 흰 종이위에 한 번에 정확한 명도와 채도를 찾아 칠하는 것이 무척 어려운 기술이기 때문이지요. Lena Rivo처럼 명도나 채도의 수정없이 한 번에 그리는 작업방식은 정말 대단하고 생각합니다. It's okay to paint the background later because she paints the exact color on the white paper at once. I love and respect the way she paints.

    I am an oil-pastellist and eyeballing with gouache, too. Watching how you built the painting was a joy. My question: since gouache is a completely opaque paint, why didn't you paint first the background with pond, and then painted the geese on top? With oil pastel this is a common technique: first paint the sky, then the trees/bushes against the sky, and finaly the foreground theme. It is doable only with opaque media. Gouache seems brutally opaque, I love this feature.

      Thank you. I do that for two reasons:
      1) Even though gouache is considered opaque, in most cases it’s still a bit translucent. The white paper under the geese makes the shadows on them glow. Had I painted the geese on a dark background those shadows would have looked heavier and darker. For the same reason I never paint on a dark paper.
      2) When an object is painted over a background color it looks as if it was cut out and glued on top of that background layer. This problem can be resolved by working the background color a bit into the object. When I paint an object first, say a goose, and then the background, the background color kind of hugs the object and they become one. Also I always use the background color to make edges of objects more interesting. When painted this way, all the shapes in the painting become naturally connected and flow one into another, adding some interesting abstract quality to the piece.

      @@LenaRivo Thank You very musch for the detailed reply, I absolutely appreciate it. Actually, oil pastel is similar in a sense that it is not completely opaque, either: I should apply a thicker layer on top of a (often fixative sprayed) harder bottom layer to get that 3D effect, which I am after when applying this "themes layered on top". Definitely, Your artwork is fantastic and inspirational even for an oil pastellist, too. BTW, it was your fantastic varnishing video, which brough me to Your channel. I'll keep an eye on what You are doing.

    5:55 when you started painting the other part to the water i was amazed at how the water came together after the paint dried! It looked lighter compared to the dried paint next to it, but then it dried *just right*, creating this seamless area of water, Lena you really have gouache down to a science 🥰

    • @LenaRivo
      @LenaRivo  11 місяців тому

      You can paint on top of the already painted layers, or you can lift the paint in the area you don’t like, using a wet brush, and rework that area. Using gouache is much easier that painting with oil, at least that’s how I feel :)

      Painting has various techniques depending on the medium and style. There is alot of colour theory and layering in this peice as well as composition.
      You wouldn't get the same effect colouring by numbers etc gives which is much much easier to do.
