Literally nobody uses a brush like you, Danica. It’s so darn inspiring!
I love her
Use a small staywet palette and your gouache will stay moist w/out the spray bottle and will keep moist for weeks, no more wasted paint.
Hullo Danica, I have been looking at getting back into gouache so I suppose that is why your video popped up for me to watch! I am not subscribed and I am going to go check out some of your more recent videos, since this one is 2 years old! Several comments have already mentioned the stay wet palette to save your paint. I suggest that you try not mixing mediums so divergent! Try regular gouache with watercolor they work much better together, I used to use Jet Black from Turners to get those deep blacks for really dark darks! I believe acrylic-gouache is Matt acrylic paint. Golden’s So-Flat is the best of that particular medium if your looking for that. I did enjoy watching this video and I hope to see more of your amazing artworks in the future. Please take care, be safe and enjoy your day!
I love your artwork, Danica. May i recommend a StaWet palette to use with your acryl gouache. It is a game changer that keeps the paint moist without watering them down
Sta-wet palette is very helpful! 😉
Thanks for this! It’s something I’ve been wanting to do myself, but I haven’t succeeded in a way I’m happy with, with the exception of white highlights
Sure thing! I hope there is something with my ramblings that you find helpful.
Very cool! Beautiful illustration as always!
About the tip: You could also just make yourself (or buy) a wet-palette. They get sold as Sta-Wet palettes and other fancy names, but the principle is the same. I like the misting trick, but nothin beats a wet-palette for me with gouache and acrylics.
i like your neon bat, and i love that you are expanding and experimenting! i love the colors you used, too.
Thanks! My neon bat is among my most prized possessions.
About black parts at watercolor pieces: maybe Poska pens will work for you? I saw artists using it for like everything, they are fully opaque and don't shine I think.
It just further proves to me that people are born with this talent. I've tried to paint something from my brain and not paint from a picture and I just don't have that gene. Bravo to you. I get enjoyment out of painting from a picture though.
great looking gloomy clouds, the pink is a nice touch 😀
Thank you!
If you want really black black, the Turner Acryl Gouache *Jet Black* is the way to go. It’s blacker than the Holbein and less chalky. You get a deeeeep saturated black with the Turner that you can’t get with Holbein
Beautiful masterpiece, see you on your next video. :)
You are too kind. Thank you.
I love that you are experimenting with Gouache! I have just discovered it myself and I think it suits your style perfectly. This illustration turned out amazing I love that bright pink you added!
Beautiful
Great work! It appears you're using acrylic gouache. I recently purchased some thinking it was traditional gouache but realized once I started using it, it was definitely different. Not being able to reactivate the paint once it was dried was frustrating for me. I usually use watercolor and I wanted to try gouache for the same reasons as you. I did paint a successful pinup with the acrylic gouache (but it destroyed my watercolor brushes in the process, definitely dont reccommend using your good watercolor brushes with acryl gouache) I did get some traditional gouache a couple days ago and I love it so much more! I love being able to reactivate layers and blend tonal values on the page with the layers underneath just by slightly re-wettng it. In terms of wasting paint with acrylic gouache look into a sta-wet pallet, It's helped so much and keeps the paints wet for a couple weeks.
Danica that painting is stunning! You have such brush control!
Oh. Don't squeeze the actual tube. Open it and dab the palette. Let gravity help a bit. You'll get small amounts that way.
I really enjoy your videos and you talking about your process and trying things and the art you create! If you want an alternative to try for dark blacks, I have used both Liquitex and Speedball acrylic inks for washes and solid black areas on many projects. I have even used them for panel lining on plastic model kits. I find them to be very versatile and affordable.
Thank you so much! I love the pursuit for the perfect set of mediums! I've used those inks for inkwash art, that's a great idea to use them with watercolors!
Çok güzel olmuş
you might like working with high flow acrylics! i've switched from watercolor to colored ink and high flow acrylics because i was struggling with doing darker colors with watercolors. The ink and acrylic doesn't lift once its dry, so it's easy to layer darker colors :)
Thanks, that's a great suggestion! I love the idea of the layers not lifting, I hate that about watercolors. I'll definitely try it out!
Hi may I ask what brush and size were you using on the lady sleeping? It appeared to be a thicker size script liner.
Wish you had told us what you were doing. What was the watercolor? Gouache?
Interesting! Am I safe to say that; whatever you can do with watercolor, gouache can do the same (when diluted enough).. But whatever you can do with gouache you cannot do with watercolor..
Most excellent, be saved,blessed and alll in Jesus shalom
