This timing is PERFECT! I just started painting with goauche, did a search, and a new good ol' Paul Clark video appears. Thank you, sir!
Greetings from America. Thank you so much for sharing your gift. I really enjoy watching you paint and share your techniques. I’m completely new to art. I don’t have stable hands to do real canvas. I use digital, which isn’t as difficult but I miss the texture of real canvas. I do love your art. It is so beautiful. 😊
Thank you so much!
You are a true artist. I love copying your tutorials. I’ve been posting them on the beginner watercolor groups on Facebook.
Wonderful Elaine - Thanks for sharing!!
So relaxing and eye-opening - I want to go away and paint now!
Go for it!
Oh my goodness, I absolutely loved watching this. I have recently gotten back into painting after a bad year and bought myself a gouache set, and this has just completely inspired me so much, thank you. I loved all 3 pieces but think I have love the 1st and 3rd most
You are so welcome! Happy to help 😊
Wow - these look like so much fun ! I can’t believe the last one took you 5 hours - I’ll probably be at it for a week 😂 hope you’re enjoying La Gomera - one of these days I’ll join you
Thanks for this one Paul! I am up for the challenge!
Paul, you did all of those planes? That's amazing! I love the old military paintings like that. My husband has a poster of St. Mary's Lighthouse in the northern part of England and I think Whitley Bay in 1930's prints. He and his family would spend summers in that area. Thanks for a throwback to the railway prints of that time.
Thank you for the gouache tutorials. Much appreciated. It just goes to show how versatile gouache can be as a medium.
Always a good lesson and well explained. Thank you.
So enjoyable and relaxing to view. Thank you so much. I had a calendar of old seaside railway posters that I was going to paint - wish I could find where I put it!!
Thank you Paul. Loved seeing all the different looks you can get with gouache. I am considering crossing over to the "dark side" and trying out oil painting. LOL! This was so fun to see. Hope you are enjoying your trip. Love seeing the pictures from there. Thanks again!
Love this! I have gouache I’ve never used. Love them all but especially the vintage travel poster art! Thank you!
Beautiful. Loved them all, but the last one was simply amazing!! Hope you continue to do more of these, and hope you guys are enjoying your trip. As always, thank you so much for sharing your talent❤
WOW!! Triple WOW!! Thank you for doing this!! Sent to one of my daughters who is looking to work in gouache! Awesome tutorials! Have an incredible time on your trip!
nice job chum
great minds think alike, enjoy the sun, cheers Paul
Hugely appreciative!!
Dankeschön!!! Ich liebe Aquarellfarben und habe neulich Gouache für mich entdeckt. Ich bin begeistert von dem Video und werde üben, üben, üben!
Das ist toll zu hören, vielen Dank
Thank you for the shoutout ☺️ I really liked your demos especially all the lovely dry brush textures in the second one 😍
I always love your relaxed videos, Sarah, especially your Scottish wandering vlogs.
I’d love to see you two get together for a gouache/watercolor plein air video someday. That would be cool. ❤ The Borders are calling 😊
I am just a hobby painter and I love this community I found that is supportive of one another. I have learned so much from Paul and others about watercolor and then discovered your tutorials for gouache! I have been doing more mixing on my own and inspired to use it with more projects. Thank you both for being so generous with your skills and time it takes to teach others !!!!
I love Sarah and Paul you both are so so special beautiful people. ❤❤❤
Lucky you in La Gomera , although it is a nice bright day here in North Yorkshire just up the coast from Bay as it is referred to around here . These were great and have given me inspiration to dig my gouache paints out from the back of the cupboard , thanks Paul 👍
Again...SUPERB Paul. Hughs from Chile.
Thank you for showing. Appreciate to share more of your gouache style. Lovely ❤
Thank you! 😊
You are an amazing teacher, and yet more amazing artist!
What a delight this one was... especially love the last one... 😍 I think the gouache will be going on a few seaside trips this year! Wonderful as to how versatile the medium is. I will definitely be giving this a go!
Thank you!!! I really appreciate that you showed how versatile gouache can be. Hope your getaway was amazing!
Wonderful tutorial Paul… I bought some of these paints and awhile back and didn’t know how to really use them….I Do Now!!! Lol
Thanks
thank you for thinking to us that are at home😭. Have a nice holiday!!! Gouache is interesting, but I love watercolour😉
Thanks Paul, I loved all three paintings. I will attempt to use my W & N gouache.
I am so excited after watching you paint in gouache, and the different techniques you’ve shown, that I now want to try my hand at it. I had no idea that gouache came in such a variety of colours. I thought gouache was white only. This is the first time I’ve ever seen it demonstrated in all the years I’ve been watching painting videos. I’m not as talented an artist such as yourself, but I am trying .
I hope to begin painting again after such a long hiatus, so I will be ordering gouache paints very soon. Thank you so very much for giving me the desire to paint once again, I can hardly wait!
I have a cheap set of gouache (no name brand) that I purchased probably a year ago. I've only played with them twice but was actually pleasantly surprised. I've been rather unproductive for a while now and I think it might ease me back into getting creative. Also, thinking that these paints might be a great option for plein air painting --- very versatile and forgiving. As always, I love your channel.
I've heard youtube creators say that gouache is not like watercolour, they believed in this heartily, and that they can't be used as watercolour so ever since then I was unsure and a little bit scared to use them like that but in the video they seem to work exactly like watercolours. Mine become streaky and dont flow as much as yours do in the video, maybe I'm doing something wrong... but I will definitely try again with these lovely tutorials!
love one and two; the third style seems daunting! BUT: thank you for caring about teaching us more; love 'the dark side' comment since I painted in oils and then tried the 'run-off-the-paper' watercolors!!!! what? light-to-dark??? Enjoy La Gomera.
Outstanding! I thoroughly enjoyed this video!
Glad to hear it!
Thank you, Paul for three paintings in one tutorial! You are amazing! All three are stunning! Loved your use of the medium in two and three especially! Still trying to get a handle on watercolors, but gauche very appealing! Enjoy your holiday! ☀️
Wow! Great tutorial! Love these different techniques,bought set of gouche!, Love them, thank so much for your excellent tutorial happy days!
Thanks so much 😊
Hope your trip is wonderful, you deserve it for sharing all of your time and expertise with us! Wonderful tutorials.
🎉awesome
Wonderful, thanks Paul. The second one has so many layers, however it turned out beautiful. Halfway through it looked almost complete. You have a very deft touch with your brushes, so accurate with the straight lines! Your previous job in illustration shows here. Hope all goes well on your working holiday. I will definitely give these a go.
Hello Paul, de belles peintures encore😍. Merci. Passez un bon séjour à La Gomera et revenez nous vite avec de belles idées.☀️🤗
Great video! Thank you, Paul.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow, these are fantastic! Wow, I like all of them, it makes me want to explore gouache more 😊
Thanks Paul, very informative video 😍👌🏼
Glad you liked it!
Great video, thanks for sharing these techniques. I'd like to try making one of those railway posters also!
Any chance for some stories about those aircraft illustrations?
Thank to you my SIR!
You are very welcome
Wonderful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks
Thanx Paul 😁👍🖐.
Any time!
you can glue with gum arabic. so the dictionary is on point. you can glue with acrylic polymer too.
Would love to give the railway poster a go! Where can we get that set of Royal Talens paints please?
Love form in india
Thanks so much!
This was wonderful, and I am definitely going to bust out my gouache paint and try it again. My question for you is of course gouache is great when you use it fresh and wet out of the tube. However, once it dries in your palette, what do you recommend to get it back to that creamy consistency? I have found if I keep gouache paint in a pallet for a while, the pieces just fall out in chunks. Do you ever use the dry gouache without topping it with fresh gouache? Thank you for your wonderful videos!
I heard him say that you can rewet the qouache. I’m not sure if he meant in the palette or on the paper or both. I haven’t used it myself. Looks like fun though. Have you tried adding water to your qouache in your palette?
You can rewet these chunks of dried gouache, try to pour some water on them and mix after 5-10 minutes. You can even put them in some container. But if your paint is too chalky, it means it is not a good quality. I had several large 100 ml cans of gouache dried half full. I just poured some water inside, left them overnight to soak and them mixet the paint with a stick. It usually works well with gouache.
I keep mine in a sealable deep well pallet, closed when not in use. This keeps them in a good moist consistency with an occasional spritz..I didn't open for about a month one time and most were still moist.Check out Sarah Burns Studio on utube. She has links to her supplies including the pallette I have. I did try the shallower mijello sealable pallette when I started but they dried out in that
@@kazfarndon4990 Hi Kaz. Fancy meeting you here. Seems strange to see a familiar name on a different site.
@@bonnieodonnell2780 Hi !!!! Good to see you here 😁
I've been eyeing gouache. Holbein has the colors of 4 seasons. I didn't know how to use them and now I do.
When you use gouache neet have you experienced cracking at all? And how much more dry time average is required?
Hi Mary - never had any problems with cracking and I would say roughly the same drying time as standard watercolours.
I am colorblind so can never do what you do but I love watching and pretending that I can, I do paint with water color with limited palettes and sucess
That is awesome! - best of luck to you!
Dear Paul, what do you mean when you say, "work as 'flat' as you can?" 🤔🤔
It's an even layer of colour, no streaks, no variations in tone
Don't like Gouache paint, it is stiff, not soft at all.
But thank you to you and it's good to know different paint and technique.
Hi. When use white gouache straight from the tube it feels like painting with concrete but if I water it down a bit (I usually do this for highlights) it tends to dry the grey/bluey colour and I have to go over twice. Any ideas how to keep white? I use W&N white gouache at the moment. I have heard people using a 'bleed proof white'. Is this better than gouache? Thankyou
Hi Tracey - Yes, Bleed proof white is a good option but I do find with all opaque whites I often have to go over twice to get a really bright white!
@@ArtbyPaulClark thankyou 😊
Dear Paul, thank you for supporting my country Ukraine. This is very important for me and our people. When I draw with you, I don't think about war. I drew 25 pictures of you. Thank you very much.
We are with you!
You are in my thoughts every day. Stay strong.
@@dorothyminor7581 Thank you for your support, it is important to us.
@@laurelgillis9710 Thank you for your support, it is important to us.
Just brilliant - you are the King of reflections! Thank you so much for sharing - it will certainly “hold us down” until you return 😂. Hope the trip goes well 🤞👏
Two weeks away? Well, that should give me time to get my jaw back off the floor...
Thank you so much for your demonstrations of gouache painting. Your paintings amaze me every time! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with all of us!!
It seems as though gouache can perform all the tasks one would want of watercolor and also has the benefit of being able to be used as opaque paint. This brings me to ask, is there ever a reason watercolor would be the better paint to use?
A huge thanks for sharing this wonderful video with three different types of results with gouache!! I have been working with this medium for about 5 months now & have not realized how versatile it was to paint with. I have been painting kind of like the 3 ways & just didn’t know that all of those ways were positive results. I am also thrilled to know that I am following both of those great gouache artists who you mentioned. Thanks for helping me figure out how to use gouache & watercolors!!!❤Wishing I was painting at your events!!! Hopefully you’re planning to share of tidbits of how things are going there in future videos! Have a great time!!!
Amazing work.
Especially the 'Poster', love that look. 😀👍
😂 “crossed over to the dark side, using oil and acrylics” so funny! I am just halfway there. Still loving using watercolour and still wanting to see all your brilliant work. Thank you!
Blessed hands and a blessed and beautiful soul Sir. Thanks for sharing your talent with us! ❣️
Omg, this was phenomenal!!!!!
If I understand correctly, and maybe I don't, Gouache seems to offer the greatest flexibility? Cannot tell you how much I love the last, flat painting. Just beautiful.
Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for sharing with your Paul Clark minions!
Hi Paul… absolutely LOV this illustrative, flat wash/travel poster style … been thinking of trying this out so this video helped me understand the technique… thanks for explaining gouache.. never really used it much but now understanding it better. Have a wonderful time in La Gomera… excited to see what photos/subject matter u bring back… 👍
Thank you so much now I would like more tutorials with flowers and gouache please…enjoy your vacations😊
@Paul Clark you made me laugh with your dark side comments, I came to watercolour from oils after a 10 year break from art didn't want the mess and chemicals, I'd not thought about gouache. Will definitely be giving the gouache a play now. Enjoy your trip think of us shivering here in the UK lol
Oh my gouache, this episode is a gem! (I can’t help it, I’m a mom who loves a good dad joke.) I love how you show gouache’s potential. The 1930s rail poster is so special and it’s lovely to see you pay tribute. Thanks so much!
Glad you enjoy it o 😁
I know gouache is used for commercial illustrations, but I do not think galleries accept artwork in gouache.
Wonderful video! Wonderful paintings! Thank you Paul❤
Wow ! That was wonderful ! I do have a question this time why do we paint the whole paper with that brown like color for the second painting??
I said “wow” so many times! Amazing paintings! I loved each one. Your skill in gouache blows me away. I’m definitely gonna try to paint these. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. Praying you have a fun trip. Maybe someday I’ll be there. 🙏🏻❤️
Would you say, it behaves more like acrylic than watercolor? I know silly question. But I'm speaking as to when the paint dries and the final effects. I started out in acrylic and then started watercolor. But I do paint both. I'm trying to do both mediums in a single subject. Your green version was pretty.
Thank you for taking the extra time to snow us all about guache. I have been wondering about trying it. Love the poster looking one! Hope your trip was smashing! Going on a painting retreat is on my bucket list.
Thank you, thank you! I loved all them, but specially the latest, it is really beautiful!
This was just fabulous! I especially loved the last one. Lena Rivo is another great gouache painter.
Hope you had an amazing time.
Thank you so so much for doing a full gouache tutorial. Number 3 is completely up my street ( pun intended!)
How do you decide whether to do an under painting or not ?
Really enjoyed this one. Thank you. Particularly looking forward to trying number 3 - particulars it is Robin Hood’s Bay - a popular place for artists and somewhere I love to visit.
This was such a massive eye opener regarding gouache. Many, many thanks for filming this! 👍🏻👍🏻
Agreed!!!
@@AndyMackin-px9wo totally agree :)
I was looking forward very much to see what your choice of liquid refreshment would be. What will Mr. C. compliment his apparel with today, I wondered! You never had one and this is wet February with not so much of a drop of Adam's Ale! You must be feeling dehydrated after all that work. XXX
This is brilliant Paul.
3 different techniques with 3 outstanding results. Love the 2nd one, looks like an oil painting.
Good morning dear Paul! The week began with a series of terrible earthquakes around the world, and I sincerely condole and sympathize with all the people affected by the earthquake in Turkey, Syria and other countries! Lord, save us from trouble, war, disease 🙏🙏🙏😢😢😱😨😢 !!! But despite this, I'm glad to see you again in a new video! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your work, I liked the video and like it as always 👍! We have a warm weather t ° + 3 + 6 ° C. the snow is melting 🌦️☔🌧️ and it smells like spring. Crocuses have bloomed in our garden 🌷🌺 are already blooming, and the grass has been green all winter.We have a quiet and calm environment, like in Baghdad 🤣, everything is in the stores, there is no shortage of products to choose from, take whatever you want! This is where I finish writing, all the best to you and kind my dear Paul!Write the answer, don't forget🖐️🖐️🤗😊!!!Bye...bye dear 💋 Paul, until next Wednesday!!! 💋💋💋♥️♥️♥️🖼️🖼️🖼️🎨🎨🎨🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊🖐️🖐️🖐️👍👍👍👍
That was great Paul. I think I will give it a try. Get a hair cut man! 🙂
Who Knew. The answer to my not so good w/c's. 🖼 Thanks.
a) Why the brown undercoating in the 2nd example? Seems like it's completely overpainted, so couldn't you skip it?
b) Very interesting comparison of painting styles. The 1st example seems to imply that you don't need watercolour at all because you could paint in that style with gouache just the same - which isn't the case, I guess? Probably this nice glowing feel as if the painting is illuminated from behind the paper can't be achieved with gouache? Maybe it would also be interesting to have a direct comparison between watercolour and gouache?
Great video - as always 😊 👍
You can skip the brown underpainting, but personally I use it as a mid value guide to the subsequent layers added..whether they need to be lighter or darker. I also like to give a painting a particular temperature undertone to unite the whole mood of the painting together, so the initial colour chosen varies
Perfect timing Paul I’ve just bought some gouache tubes and struggled to fully appreciate the techniques that can be used. I love your work and always feel inspired by you. Enjoy your time away, it would be great if you could post the odd gouache painting tutorial from time to time after you return!
These are lovely! I just bought a set of gouache from Windsor and Newton so I'll definitely try those.
I need your advice on something: I often have "cauliflowers" when I paint with watercolours. I use the Paul Rubens paints which are quite decent. Could it be my paper? I have cold-pressed, acid free, 140lb paper but it doesn't mention 100% cotton. Could that be the culprit?
Thanks and hello from Canada!
These were great. I particularly loved the last one. I am getting ready to do a line and wash of the house a friend grew up in. After watching the last one you did, I have decided I will paint it in WC and a second version in gouache.
Thanks again for all you do.
Wow, Paul you are great, excellent, brilliant, and fantastic with Gouache! I love all of your paintings. Thank you
Please, more travel poster styled images! Fabulous! That appears deceptively easy and is most interesting to see it done.
Thank you! Will do!
I’d love to see a few more gouache paintings also. What started out looking a little messy, it became a beautiful painting just as I knew it would! As only you could do because you are a fantastic artist!
That was an awesome set of tutorials! Thank you…Safe travels!
What a refreshing tutorial, three different methods and different but similar. Just love the 1930's poster style took me back to school days, learned "stylisation" rendered in acrylics. I am on the "dark side" trying hard to cross back into the light 🤣. Have an oil underpainted, ready for the completion when it calls me again, but loving water colour challenge. Much more difficult. Thanks again Paul
So glad you did a gouache (well 3) tutorials! I love them, especially the last one, it is so inspiring! 🤩
Superb tutorial on gouache never heard of it until started to watch your excellent videos. Get an agent and get on terrestial TV. Youre an expert and deserve to be out there for Joe Public. Brilliant Paul.😃
Just ordered a set of gouache primaries after watching your tutorial. Looking forward to trying the out. Will probably use with the watercolours too.
Thank You, Paul...such an interesting lesson...I really liked the 'Robin Hood's Bay' painting and a big THANK YOU, for taking the time to produce such a long tutorial just before you went away!!! PS I hope you and Margot have lots of fun and sunshine at La Gomera!
gorgeous Mr C
Thank you so much for this one, these paintings are incredible! I was recently gifted a beautiful box of gouache, but I'm years out of practice and it felt like I was fighting with glue. It was discouraging, but your tutorials inspire me to keep trying and practicing with different techniques. Thank you for helping me pick up my brushes again!
