Love it! Such a nice crisp, clean quality to the scene and the brush strokes. Values communicate the scene well and I loved your comments about the minimal brush strokes, particularly in the clouds to make them there but unimportant. A nice little almost subliminal feeling that doesn't detract from the scene. Nice piece!
The Mind of Watercolor exactly! I learned a lot about having a softer hand from James Fletcher Watson and David Curtis. I don’t know if you follow them but their APV tutorials are amazing. I rewatch them over and over. Those guys are probably my favorite watercolorists in the world.
The Mind of Watercolor they’re remarkable and I think you’d really like JFW. He’s so gentle and his paintings suit his personality. He has an excellent way of explaining and teaching. Unfortunately he passed like 6 or so years ago but I love his work and person. Ask Brian Ashmore... I won’t shut up about him in texts. Hahah
When I studied graphic design in college they showed us how to use gouache for logos and designs, but never taught us to use it to paint like this... this is so much fun to see.
Same for me. In design school we did solid colour and mixed to a creamy consistency usually for packaging design or logos etc.. Seeing Jared's gorgeous paintings using gouache is such an inspiration. I am an oil painter, large scale, and do lots of smaller, everyday sketches and drawings, so these small paintings of Jared's remind me of an oil look but in a completely different water medium. Very nice.
Elf Lords Journeys aww man- listen that’s very kind of you to say and I thank you. :) I appreciate you watching and it’s always nice to see you chime in :)
I found your channel today and I loved the content. I love to draw and paint since I learned to hold a pencil but it is an activity that has always occupied a secondary place in my life. I'm Brazilian and here the access to drawing courses is not for everyone, so I found myself lost trying to learn everything by myself. Thanks to the internet this has changed and channels like yours are very important to me, it's a way to talk about paint and learn. Now I'm trying to make the painting more present in my daily life so I started to make small sketches twice a week or more. Although I do not have painting as a profession and do not devote most of my time to it (I study philosophy instead) it will always be an important part of me. I hope the outburst was not tedious but I think it's important to recognize and congratulate content that touches me in some way. Thanks for posting!
Stephanie Ribeiro thank you for watching! That’s why I am here. I love that you draw and paint. I wish more people did and my hope is to give access to basic skills to everyone who has interest. Good luck in your study. I’m always here if you have questions!
Ack, the infamous "drawing what you think, instead of what you see"! I fall into that pot hole on a regular basis. The many colors of a road as the sun hits it, as it curves and dips, as shadows fall on it. Keep saying it, it's gotta stick at some point :) Thank you!
Just found your channel, watched a few of your videos. Very informative, lovely work, and such relaxed vibe. I'm definitely sticking around and hope you get more views, you deserve it!
Once again loaded with info and your thoughts. I had to watch a couple of times to get the information. I guess it might be because our local store is a large walmart and there is nothing so beautiful to think about or paint, unless you want to count fast food places. Personally I like the leftover light brown in the sky from when you made the change. Now for the serious stuff, you and Brian order the moargwash t-shirts and we will all take one too.
You seemed to be very careful when peeling back the making tape there, I don't know if you were concerned about tearing the paper or something? Apparently if you stick the tape to something with fabric first then it'll pick up some of that fabric and not be as strong when it's stuck to your paper. Justin Donaldson talks about this in his video about his plein air kit.. Then again, maybe you're just a gentle tape peeler. Great video though, I've only just started gouache painting and always paint directly on paper, might start with an under painting next time see how it goes. I usually have trouble getting the lighter values back though
MasterMonday thanks for watching! Yea- I’m careful because I’ve had it pull the actual gouache up off and had to go back and fix paintings before. I do the fabric trick on my shirt though too. I will have to look in that artist. :) appreciate you watching!
Patty Shaw thank you so much, Patty. I appreciate you sticking with me on these videos. I hope the music is less of an issue now that I’m better with the mic in newer ones. I appreciate your watching and chiming in. :)
FruutsuPunchSamurai thank you! :) I think it’s just something you have to not think about and you will eventually adjust to the bell curve of color and value. Aim for value- but value and color are relative. So they change when you place other color and value next to it. The whole thing is constantly changing and you have to adapt and chop and change as you go. To that end- I say try to relax and just enjoy the chess match with the gouache haha :) hope that helps.
I am curious as to why so many youtube artists are using gouache all of a sudden. It used to be considered a "poor cousin" of transparent watercolor, but seems to be popular all of a sudden. Any idea why?
Francoise de Rocher poor cousin? How dare you. Hahahha (I’m joking) I don’t know! I agree though. I think Gurney made it more appealing and accessible. It’s his fault haha and I think it’s because of a lack of education materials previously? I started this channel for watercolor and had no intention of showing gouache. I do it because of demand. When I do watercolor I get messages and comments saying “more gouache!” Or “go back to gouache” and now I’m doing more gouache than watercolor. Also- the views are quadruple for some reason. There is a lot of watercolor out there- I don’t know. That’s just been my experience on here. :)
I agree that Gurney put gouache "on the map"; it is also an easier medium to control and some people might be discouraged by the difficulties of transparent watercolor, the price of really good paper.... I have a few old tubes somewhere and will give it a shot. Who knows? I might get converted and never look back. Whatever medium you use, you are super good, so I don't care, just curious of your opinion and thank you for sharing.:)
Wonderful painting. Congratulations👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💖💖💖💖💖💖

I am learning how to color with gouache now, so thank you very much for this video!! I will try to paint as I watch it again next time!! 💕
Really beautiful!! Annie : ))
Your voice is mesmerizing. A great lesson in looseness and using large brushes vs. small.
Elizabeth Hart Thank you so much for watching. :)
When I studied graphic design in college they showed us how to use gouache for logos and designs, but never taught us to use it to paint like this... this is so much fun to see.
geckonia oh wow! That’s cool. Yea- it was often used in illustration too before digital because of its quick drying and matte quality. :)

A lot of detail in this sketch and you explain every one of them like a poetic master.😀
Elf Lords Journeys aww man- listen that’s very kind of you to say and I thank you. :) I appreciate you watching and it’s always nice to see you chime in :)
I always love seeing the same place in different seasons. It's magical to see the transformation. And of course you paint so beautifully!

Good points made when painting. I'll keep these ideas in mind when I do my painting sketches
fakerrain thank you! :) thank you for watching.
Thank you! I love this painting and your style. I discovered gouache recently and I really begin to love work with this medium.
Tilda van Well thanks for watching! It’s a tough learning curve but excellent tool when you get used to it
It is very beautiful! and your voice makes me relaxed.
I'm glad :) Thanks for watching.

Gorgeous painting, loved watching your process and listening to your commentary!
Noelle Curtis Art thank you so much!
Love this one with the whitened landscape, Jared. Beautiful. And, thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Really looks great! I’ll think of this painting every time I pass that section of the parkway. Love seeing Pittsburgh through your eyes.
Gallery Bry I love living here! If you’re in the neighborhood shoot me a message!
Well done. TFS.
I appreciate you watching. Thank you.

Simple. Elegant. Quiet. Lovely study. I might've picked up a couple highlights on the foreground tree branches but that's just me.
Nice work Jared.
Thank you! :) I appreciate you watching.
Just beautiful!
N Monteiro thank you :)
Just found your channel, watched a few of your videos.

Absolutely love this!!!!
arcuda2001 thank you!! :)
You are an excellent teacher thank you
Rentia Coetzee that’s very kind of you to say. Thank you. I’m always here if you have questions!
Jared Loves to Draw thank you! New to watercolour and gouache! Will ask thanks!
Nice sketch and good lesson! Thank you.
Karin Lease thank you!
Hello! I really like your passion and techniques in painting and it really inspires me to do good as well. Please make more videos!
Gabrielle Villa thank you. Comments like this mean a lot to me and really encourage me. :) thanks for watching!

Essie Tangle Walmart could be interesting! :) I should make the shirt haha the phrase cracks me up.
Jared Loves to Draw 70 degrees and thirty mile wind, I don’t think so, smile and you could have your teeth sandblasted 😬🙃🥴
The sense of light in this one is incredible!! Great idea to do the same scene in different seasons, too. #moargwash
Brian Ashmore Studio hahaha I want a t shirt that says moar gwash hahaha
Is it weird that I am kinda envious of that watercolor brush? It looks so nice, that pointed tip and it seems to hold so much paint
Cianna Coleman the flat? It’s my favorite. I use it for everything :)
Beautiful muted color palette, and I really like the blocky shapes. New sub here--love your channel already! :D
Kiera Jo thank you! Thanks for the sub. I appreciate you watching :)

Hi, any advice on managing change in colour of gouache as it dries? Love your work btw ( have been compulsively rewatching them) thank you!
FruutsuPunchSamurai thank you! :) I think it’s just something you have to not think about and you will eventually adjust to the bell curve of color and value.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! & thanks for the advice of course :) looking forward to your new uploads

Francoise de Rocher you’re very kind. I think you’ll love it! It is a frustrating learning curve. I’m here if you have questions!
It is not gouache but watercolor.
Leni Magrove I’m not sure what you mean. :)
