Thank you so much for introducing me to Jess Franks!!! I went to an art exhibition with my husband and we were standing close(ish) to a huge painting of a stack of hay bales. It was painted in thick slathered on wedges of gorgeously vivid acrylic and my husband said something like, “Why would the artist do that? I’ve never seen those colours in hay bales!” I took him away from the artwork to view it from the “right” distance to get the full effect and asked him whether it looked like hay bales. He said it “sort of did”. I tried to explain to him that, by using a range of vibrant colours in the correct temperature and value, the artist made a painting of boring hay bales look dynamic and vibrant while also being very recognisably a stack of hay bales. He asked why the artist didn’t just paint them “hay bale coloured” - it was quite a frustrating conversation. Tonight, I sat with him and looked at Jess Frank’s work and he really liked the paintings because the artist just used the “colours that the bits of nature actually are!” I zoomed in on the paintings and pointed out the vivid blues, greens, pinks, oranges and purples that made up one small section of a forest scene. I got up some paintings of nature that were painted in more “natural” and “subdued” hues and he admitted he’d rather have the more engaging and dynamic Jess Frank on the walls!! Her mastery of colour is so inspirational! ❤❤❤
Its been a while since ive painted anything. World has me feeling a little overwhelmed. Im excited about the tutorials and gouache boxes! Its a pre new year's resolution for me. I can't wait for January!
I'm so excited to start receiving my subscription boxes next year. I gifted them to myself for Christmas. I'm in Australia and would brave the flight over to attend your workshop. I am new to painting and moved to a rural area last year. I am so inspired by your videos and they helped me to get to know my new town through an artist's eye. I see your paintings and think about how I can translate that into the Australian landscape and colours. The world is so much more amazing when you start to really look at the colour of things. Thank you
That's awesome! I'd love to visit Australia..maybe in a few years I watch an artist Richard Musgrave-Evans doing oil paintings in the outback and it's fascinating
@@SarahBurnsStudio I just checked out some of Richard's videos and he seems to be the Steve Irwin of oil painting Lol. So talented. Well, you do like to paint rocky landscapes. We've got plenty of that here. You'd love it.
Wow! New to channel and gouache; trés impressive swatching suggestions and mixing outcomes… thank you Sarah, all the BEST in 2024 as you continue to share your gouache/ artistic adventures! ☯️✨💜
Barely 2 minutes into your video, you talking about setup rearrangement reminded me about an idea I had late last night for rearranging my workspace. Next minute I'm in full rearrangement mode too. Usually you inspire me to paint, today it's fine tuning your workspace. 😂
Haha do you go through phases of needing to organize things before you can get creative? I do. It was MUCH needed. Now I feel like I can really get to work
@@SarahBurnsStudio I've done a lot of organizing recently. Yesterday I managed to get the last of the electrical/ computer/ charging stuff out of my painting area. I've been worried about tipping water into something and getting a zap lol. When I'm in an art funk I do change things around to try and kickstart painting again. Recently I bought a couple of cheap little army pouches in different colors and made little art kits in them. Each has an A6 journal with different paper depending on what art supplies are going with it. I have a watercolor one, a sketching one with different pens/pencils and markers and a gouache one. So I have no excuse not to grab one when I go out somewhere.
This was so great Sarah and has made me even more excited to start the lessons with you and the gouache boxes next year. I feel it will be a game changer and so inspiring to paint with gouache and improve my painting 😊
Thanks you so much for all your hard work yesterday. I have been rerunning the video today and preparing my own swatches. Result - I really appreciate your hard work. Thanks so much.
Thanks Sarah I really enjoyed this swatching video.I am so looking forward to receiving my subscription box in January and start my year long gouache journey with you. I love your teaching style and can't wait to try out all the new paints and your brushes.
that opera is stunning. i have that color in winsor & newton gouache. I have been hesitant to use it as well as its considered fugitive, but it is a beautiful color. Like Barbie hot pink. its the color of a certain type of cactus that blooms here in Arizona. i think you have a great idea about scanning a painting to preserve that shade.
I've signed up for the subscription. I'm looking forward to it. I've never used gouache, and had planned to try it, next year. So, this is excellent timing.
Very useful video! For beginners unfamiliar with mixing, would be good to show how much black you add when mixing it with the yellows. Filming your video demos for your kits would be very inspiring if you can include clips of you on location, choosing a scene, why you chose it and even working on sketch or colour notes. Definitely good for your mental health to stay and a nice place nearby while filming, but as you say, all your equipment, supplies etc close at hand in your home studio. Good luck and I’m sure you will be super successful with selling your kits. Congratulations for becoming a brand ambassador. Your ideas for future workshops, video lessons are all excellent. Also, excellent idea to provide participants coming to in-person workshops with paint (and possibly some of your brushes?) as it’s super frustrating as an instructor to have students show up with inferior paints and supplies. Makes teaching much better for both instructor and participants. If you decide to sell some of your brushes separately, I’d be up for purchasing a couple (like riggers) that I don’t currently have.
Just as an FYI, I purchased a portable painter sometime ago..last year…so that I could load up my watercolor pallet into it for travel…and I decided to use it for Gouache instead. I was interested in knowing how it would hold up with regard to any mold situation ..as I would like to take a pallet with me when I travel as well. I loaded up the painter two weeks ago with my favorite Gouache colors, including the primaries …and just now opened it for the first time …and there is no mold anywhere…and they still remain fresh. I guess I’ll have to buy a second one for my watercolors now.. :)))
Very, very interesting and entertaining, thank you Sarah! Now the excitement is reeeeal and I'd like to push the forward button for it to be January already 🙂 Can't wait to start with the first tutorial. By the way: May I ask what palette paper u used here? I mean the grey one... Seems useful, is that also available at Jackson's? Thank you so much!
Love this! I'm in the US, and I usually buy art supplies from Blick (does not carry Shinhan gouache) or Amazon (Shinhan gouache sets only). Does anyone know a discounted US source for open stock?
Loved this entire video! 😍 May I ask which Lavender Ian used? Am curious which hue it had. (I really like it in watercolour and want to try it in gouache as I start learning.) And how similar would you say that the Shinhan and W&N Cobalt Turquoises are? 🙂 Thank you for making such awesome videos for us!!
He uses Daniel Smith Lavender. It's so pretty. I would say the turquoise are very similar. the W&N one I use is "light" but not much lighter. The shinhan is not as gooey
No, I'm really annoyed that youtube didn't save it 😠 Usually it's a auto setting but for some reason it wasn't this time and now I can't do anything about it

I think a lot of people are looking at it as a 'new years' goal to learn gouache! I love that :) Very excited

Sadly I am not able to take advantage of this marvelous opportunity. Hopefully it will come about again. It all looks awesome!

Shoot , sorry I missed this live . I had the reminder on , but I was out painting and forgot . Watching it now :)
W&N opera rose is even brighter it’s blinding.
I am looking forward to your tutorials. I already have all the Shinhan gouache paints so I will be focusing on the lessons. Thank you!

man Sarah, you are such a wiz at colour mixing!! amazing.- inspiring - such a lot of learning fun is ahead for us beginning in January 😊
I've signed up for the subscription. I'm looking forward to it. I've never used gouache, and had planned to try it, next year. So, this is excellent timing.
Exciting!!
They do still make trapper keepers my daughter and myself got one last year, and I seen them at the Walmart again this year!

Come back to Washington! 😍
Same :( but this is pretty great too! can't wait for subscription to begin! ❤
yep, painting as you swatch 😊
This is so relaxing. Which pallet is that? Could you provide us the link? I am really interested.
Very, very interesting and entertaining, thank you Sarah!

I got the grey palette paper ages ago...probably Jacksons? It's just 'acrylic palette sheets' or something like that
Aah, thank you, I'll check that out. It's always so much easier if you know how those things are called 🙂@@SarahBurnsStudio
Hi Sarah. I was checking your website looking for info about the gouache subscription and I didn't find it
Love this! I'm in the US, and I usually buy art supplies from Blick (does not carry Shinhan gouache) or Amazon (Shinhan gouache sets only). Does anyone know a discounted US source for open stock?
Loved this entire video! 😍 May I ask which Lavender Ian used? Am curious which hue it had. (I really like it in watercolour and want to try it in gouache as I start learning.)

He uses Daniel Smith Lavender. It's so pretty.
I would say the turquoise are very similar. the W&N one I use is "light" but not much lighter. The shinhan is not as gooey
@@SarahBurnsStudio Thank you! That's so helpful! ☺️🙏
The second green that you swatched looks like copper green
Are the brushes from your 7 set also in the subscription boxes are do you need to buy them on there own to get them ?
Yes they are included
These live stream replays are not nearly as much fun to watch when the live chat is not available as an option.
No, I'm really annoyed that youtube didn't save it 😠 Usually it's a auto setting but for some reason it wasn't this time and now I can't do anything about it
I think that is a UA-cam thing because I don’t see the chat available for any of the livestreams I have missed.
I find these live chats very distracting… maybe just me but the starts and stops are hard for my ADD brain!
