Sarah Burns Studio! Wonderful gouache plein air painter in Scotland. I learned gouache with W&N Designer’s gouache in 1989. James Gurney has done extensive plein air gouache for a looong time. I’m glad to see the younger generations turning on to its possibilities.
Clean up is easy too. Just water.
Lena Rivo’s online gouache class covers everything you need to know about gouache painting. Fantastic art instruction too.
Eric has a great video on Gouache featuring Mike Hernandez.
James Guerney, great gouache painter.
Along with Tiffanie Mang, Angela Sung, Mike Hernandez, Tommie Kim, and Lena Rivo.
Yes, I think think James Guerney might be the biggest reason for the resurgence of interest in Gouache. His videos are very popular.
Actually Gouache and Tempera are not the same, they use different binders. Gouache is made of pigment with gum arabic as a binder, and Tempera is made of pigment and egg yolk. (casein is pigment and milk)
I have been using gouache since the 80’s… it’s funny how it’s become so popular! I travel with gouache and also do quick sketches and paintings on site. One note.. and I found out the hard way… There are two types of gouache out there, one is traditional, can be brought back to life and the other is Acrylic Gouache… which dries like acrylic and can not be reworked… this does a number on your pallet and should be scraped out or wiped clean when finished. I try all brands and look in the sale bins at art stores… make sure you look at the label! Another note.. when I teach beginners about gouache I say that it’s like “Tempera in a tube”…. Yes, most people are familiar with tempera… Thanks so much for the great video.
Great demo! Love Allie, beautiful work! :)
I started plein air painting with gouache! James Gurney turned me on to it, you absolutly have to see his UA-cam channel.
I built the sketch easel and everything ❤
It's a great medium for oil painters becaues you can use similar methods.
It does reactivate, wet layers reactivate the ones underneath and it needs a light touch.
Also the hue shift when it dries takes practice and getting used to.
But it really is a wonderful medium!
Gouache is just so much more versatile than any other medium. IMO You can paint it thin like watercolor, you can paint it thick with in reason. Paper, Canvas, board prepared properly no problem. No solvents, no real mediums... you can make it look like just about everything. To top it off in a world where so many of us only have an hour here or there some days. I can start a gouache painting, and put it up at any point and pull it down a day a week or a month later and finish it. Love gouache.
Just found this older video with Allie Zeyer! I've just started with Gouache and watching Allie helped me understand that I could use a bit more water.
Thank you so much!
Love this, Allie!!! Fantastic!!!
Great demo. Love to see more on gouache.
Glad to see you back !
Excellent demo❤
Thank you folks, very informative and fun to learn from you.
Thank you Allie & Eric.
It was so interesting to see gouache from the perspective of an oil painter, who, perhaps approaches it from the opposite direction of a watercolor artist. Although gouache and watercolor have so many similarities, they almost work in an opposite technique, and I think that is the hardest Obstacle for a Watercolor artist.
I sometimes use gouache as a background to my watercolors. Because they are opposites I find that they complement each other quite nicely. I also see them playing a more important role if I decide to push the multimedia approach rather than strictly Watercolor. It would be a nice lead in to adding other media that might be more foreign to a watercolor artist such as watercolor pencil, pastel, collage etc.
Allie gave me a lot of techniques & tips for exploring gouache, which is to me a fresh & exciting medium in its own right.
I just bought Holbein’s set of mixing gouache using CMY+Black & White- a good place to start I think.
Happy exploring!
Loved this tutorial/demo. Thank you, Allie and Eric.
Beautiful work, Allie! Thank you, Allie and Eric! 🙏☮️❤️
This was great as I have never tried gouache before. Thank you!
Hi from Atlanta. I love her paintings!
loving this demo. Allie is a good teacher. I learned a lot, took notes. Thanks
Rewatching, again. I love Art School Live!!! Thank you, Eric, incredible demo, Allie.
An incredible demo along with Allie’s generosity sharing valuable tips. Thank you!
Thank you for the great information
This was an excellent demonstration. Thank you. I am inspired to try out gouache even more now.
I really enjoy using gouache.
I’ve heard so much lately about gauche. I have been a little nervous about trying it, but this has given me the confidence to give it a try. Beautiful painting!!! Thank you for sharing 😊
This is a wonderful lesson. As a watercolorist, this reminds me of oil........which I haven't done tried for 40 years, also as an amateur!
Love this ❤
Love your style with gouache, Allie! Thanks so much for sharing your process and how you use it. I’ve been using it for years and love the medium, though I paint with it mostly on cold press illustration board. That said, it’s fun to see the techniques you use with the watercolor paper. 😄
Looks like fun!
Excellent lesson
I learnt to paint with Gouache .. I loved it, but I wanted to try Actylic, Watercolor & Oil. I have come full circle now and want to use Gouache again.
I have painted w gauche n it's wonderful. It can make lovely thin layers that will allow previous colors to show thu. Super on portraits.
Gouache has a really good effect.
I’m an oil painter but tried gouache a few months ago and am in love with it! I use Doorlands wax to make my gouache work waterproof.
hi from Pacific Grove, California. Great study in gouache
I recently got the primary colors and burnt umber to try out. Need more brush time for sure
Hi, from Toronto, Canada. Gouache is completely new to me. Acrylic is my medium. So, I’m a sponge and anxious to learn.
Now a new medium to explore!
I have never seen this type of paint so I'm finding it interesting. Have painted watercolor , oil and acrylic. Mostly do acrylic now.
Thanks Again❤
If you want to take paint on the airplane, you can use water based oils, or if you are doing outdoor painting, you can take your paint and get turps, or linseed oil as a medium, in most hardware stores. Check in advance.
Oh ? Been using it for lettering, background, layering, didn’t know it is hot,😊
Please do another one.
Hi there from Southport North Carolina 😊
Wonderful tutorial, Eric did you mean yupo paper?
They always say oil doesn't dry darker. And we now have acrylic that does not dry darker. I tried it, and it seems to be perfect.
Chroma have transparent colors in their Gouache range and also mediums to add for glazing.
Pleaseeee please please bring James Gurnney to the PACE24! I'm coming and I'd just die to see him live ❤❤❤
❤
Sweeeeet. Thanks MaaaarVellous James Engelbert Stony Brook NY
Does Ally squeeze out fresh gouache everytime or use the dry gouache in the palette?
How is gouache different from watercolors? Looks like it reacts the same way..
Greetings from the galena forest studio of Carol g.
What the UBO tablet Eric was discussing ? Where to find
It’s actually Yupo.
Always too late for the giveaways, but Always on time for the incredible trainings.
Gouache is great for Plein aire work.Greetings from Co Down, N.Ireland.
Give the artist MORE time to demo please.
When framing a gouache painting do you need to protect with glass? Question answered, Mat & Glass.
Frame the same as watercolour under glass. I have seen people use dorland wax to waterproof it and frame without glass.
Isn’t guache sort of opaque watercolor? We use it,as kids, in school in Portugal.
Is working light to dark a must ?
I’m a watercolorist, and often add light over dark. I didn’t try it til much later, though, because…rules.
Normally, though - you’ll work light to dark.
The problem with Gouche in Canada, is it is really expensive. And harder to find. I bought some that was cheap on Amazon, but it eventually got expensive. And the individual colors are more expensive for less paint than oil or acrylic.
Please Check Turkish painter Fikret Mualla who has used quoache very interesting way
Acrylic gouache cannot be reconstituted. Personally cannot see the purpose of acrylic gouache!
Right? I found out the hard way (dumb me didn’t look at the label) and ruined my work.. tough to work with for sure.
I learnt the hard way too and don’t see the point either..
Gouache is used by textile designers and colorists.
And a growing number of fine artists.
Gurney
Never tried it
