How to Paint in Layers with Gouache (Plus Toned Paper) 🎨
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Gouache is best in layers. But what about toned surfaces? How does a tone influence the painting? This video covers both of these super important techniques. But results vary and you must experiment. This is the great part about painting - the happy accidents and surprise effects these techniques provide.
My Gouache for Beginners course is now live. Find out more about the course here: hi.switchy.io/...

thanks so much !! I've been playing around with toning the paper , before painting , and I love it !! it adds a layer of visual interest that does seem to make the painting " sing" ( sometimes!! lol) I also agree about the Jeece Finest paints.. they have been wonderful to work with! thanks again.. It's really interesting to see a side by side demo like this !! NORAKAG , here 👍👍
Thank you. Yes I will be exploring warm and cool tones in future paintings.
Malcolm Dewey I also paint a lot on toned paper( mixed media / Strathmore).. the paper is strong enough for the gouache, as long as you don't use too many watery layers... lots of fun !!
Malcolm, I will be enrolling in one of your online classes soon. Looking forward to the lessons.
Thank you Linda
Malcolm, I took an online course last summer on gouache mastery. However, toning the paper was not part of the course. I'm definitely going to give it a try, so thanks for this tip. Every teacher has something unique to offer, I have found. I love painting with gouache, by the way, as well as acrylics.
Thank you Linda. I'm glad this helped you.
Excellent job 👍 from Frances uk 🤗
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice presentation and explanation...👏😊👍🖼👌🖌
Thank you
Loving starting with orange tone (or yellow sometimes ) since I saw your acrylic painting demo for the first time. IT REALLY WORKS!! Thanks for the great tip!!
Excellent
Thank you, Malcolm! Excellent using of gouache. I'm getting inspired!
That is good to hear.
Wow you explain it so well,best artist on UA-cam 👩🎨
Enjoyed this side-by-side comparison - made it so clear to see and understand. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for this interesting video.
My pleasure
Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial ❤
It's a pleasure!
I really liked the top not toned one better I am just getting started with gouache --thanks Looking forward to more
Thank you Teri
Thank you for such a detailed demonstration. Seeing your gouache videos had inspired me to pull out my gouache paints that have been sitting in a drawer for over 3 years. I wasn’t quite sure how to use them. It was very helpful to see the side by side demonstration of the toned vs plain background. You make it look so easy! If only it were!
Thanks Jo. Have fun with your gouache paints.
Thank you. So inspiring. Waiting for the lockdown to be over to get some gouache and start painting. Love your series.
Sounds good, enjoy it!
Your series on gouache is so great, and this comparative demonstration is so clear and pedagogical. Many thanks! Looking forward to more on this series 😀👏🏻
That is great to hear Cecelia. Yes more to come plus a full course on gouache.
@@MalcolmDewey That’s great to hear! I am new to this and have been going through your courses on Skillshare and classes on UA-cam and have found them incredibly useful, I'm really enjoying painting with watercolors and pastels!. I’ve found the gouache series particularly revealing, it really surprised me. I had no idea what gouache was all about and it seems the perfect no-fuss (and affordable) way to start with an opaque medium.
@@ceciliamateu Agreed - it is a friendly medium.
Wonderful idea to show us watercolorists the uderpainting and opaque approach. Your videos are keeping me practicing and heading outside. And that’s the point. On future videos can you make some reference to which layers have dried completely before the next. As you know with wc if you come back in too soon, a mess. I keep trying to tell.
Thanks Lee. I will keep that in mind.
Very calm and interresting video, new suscriber ;)
Thank you. Much appreciated!
This is very nice! Thanks for sharing. What about framing? Under glass like watercolor?
Thank you. Yes under glass is best.
Hi! I've heard there's acrylic gouache and normal gouache? What it's been used in this video, which type is it? Thank you
normal gouache
Subscribed 👍👍👍👍
Is it possible to do wet-in-wet for gouache? What about sprinkle salt or other texture effect for watercolor, can they be used for gouache too?
Yes to wet in wet for gouache. Not sure about those other techniques though.
I was laughing to myself about this. I'm in awe of the skill of someone who can do two paintings at once. Meanwhile I'm splattering paint around paper and crying! LOL
😀
I recently bought the himi gouache set, unfortunately saw your video after that otherwise I would have bought the jeece gouache, I'm looking for a sketch type thing for the gouache painting in an A4 size that, dare I say, is affordable. Any recommendations?
Jeece is popular and sells out quick. But I also like winsor & newton designer gouache. Paper, I go for Fabriano cold press 140lbs in whatever format is on special 😊 They have so many books etc
What drives me crazy with gouache are consistency and reactivation. Maybe wAtercolor and acrylics are easier
👍👍👍👌👌👌
