  • James Gurney paints ripples and reflections on gently-flowing Torrey Creek in Wyoming. The paint is casein, an opaque, water-based medium that uses milk as the binder.
    Sample from the full length tutorial "Casein Painting in the Wild."

    I can't believe I missed this gem. Perfect timing since there's water in my current painting. Thanks

    I wish this one was a little longer and we could see the finished product for more than a few seconds. Most of your wonderful videos allow us that privilege. You're one of my art heroes and I love your channel. Thank you for all the incredible work.

    You are such a great artist. I have seen other paintings you have done. And, I can tell from your techniques that you have done a lot of oil painting.

    The water: flowing

    The brush: *flying*

    Hi James,
    Thank you for your videos which have inspired me to try gouache which I couldn’t see the point of before. There is one thing extra you could do for the ignorant like me which is to do a time lapse of the whole painting process at the end, or separately, so that having had the explanations one can appreciate the process in its entirety. Thanks again.

    James, I’m a watercolorist who has discovered gouache through your videos. I’m already hooked though I am in that awkward stage of having to figure out all the beginner steps from when you can layer color, paint to water ratio, dark to light (Wow, how fun is that for a watercolorist! ) and how to set up a palette to minimize paints drying, or even how much paint is typical to put out for a sketch. Do you go through a lot more gouache? My wc tubes last for months and I’m seeming to go through gouache rather quickly. I see that wet paper towel in this video and others paint on what I assume is acrylic paper. Do you have any videos that are more like a paint along, showing color mixing, discussing the amount of water, the theories behind an opaque under painting, etc. Basically a structured gouache workshop or course so I can cut the learning curve?

    You've inspired me to get a beginning palette of caesin, though I don't know what I'm doing yet! LOL. Wondering if you made that diffuser yourself & what the material is.

    • @JamesGurney
      @JamesGurney  7 років тому +4

      Yes, the diffuser is homemade from white nylon fabric on an aluminum frame.

    I admire your approach to what I like, sketching with pencil, illustration. I am trying to learn to incorporate your painting techniques. As a retired RN, I wish to use safe, non odorous, media like watercolor, water-mixable oil & acrylics.
    Are Gouaches & Caseins in the same category?
    Also have you any opinion on Strada easels?
    Thank you,
    Jeanne

    I think you have photographic vision . I know I need to go out and do plein air but as soon as I think of people will stare a me and say look he's drawing painting I get so nervous and forget about the basic painting techniques How can I over come it, Master?

    James, is casein paint the same as Plaka paint? I'm trying to source it here in South Africa and can't find anyone who knows what it is.

    • @JamesGurney
      @JamesGurney  7 років тому +1

      Val, I'm not sure. I don't think I've ever seen Plaka paint. If you can't find casein where you are, gouache is totally fine and actually quite similar.

    That bear spray is useless as an artist. I would be eaten before I realized there was a bear.

    This guy focuses the camera more on himself than the work he is 'supposedly' trying to teach his viewers.
    From sloppy background to completed painting in 3 shots of the work.
