    I bought some gouache colours some weeks ago to celebrate that I passed my law exam. This is something I really enjoyed, and even if watercolour has been my go to, I have now found a new love (, the only struggle I had was making the brush strokes, because my kitten thought the brushes were her new play things). / Scandinavian

    Gouache Rocks! It makes it so much easier than having to mask like daisies flowers in a dark background you can just paint on the daisies are the lighter color flowers without having to go through all that masking process gouache is amazing I just love the actual depth of the color it's just amazing and so much fun to work with❤

Could you consider a tutorial on how to suggest shapes/ or a technique that means you don't have to do that, I guess a more illustrative style? 🙏 I also have trouble with leaf shapes and petal shapes, although your sunflowers tutorial was awesome in that sense.

      A values scale is useful, one can make them, or download them, or buy them for a few dollars. About 10 shades would be good. When painting that can be too many for certain tasks, but it is great for studies.
      With black and white paint, learn to match all the shades. Then get some good subjects in black and white and do studies. In art schools people will often spend months to several years using black and white before they are ever let loose on colors. Few people who are painting for fun will want to do that for fun, unless charcoal is their medium. But even a little work of the sort is very valuable.
      Those delicate gradients you refer to are difficult. One instructor referred to them as the most difficult and something he would bring out in second and third year classes. Prior to that one has to work in B&W in his system, or easier color exercises.

    • @HondoTrailside
      @HondoTrailside 2 роки тому

      One may wish to switch from watercolor paper, which is certainly used with gouache, to illustration board which is the support that the illustrators you refer to may have more commonly used.

    • @HondoTrailside
      @HondoTrailside 2 роки тому +1

      Gouache does darken when it dries, maybe a full value, so that is something one can learn from exercises.
