You explain everything succinctly with a very pleasant voice and excellent video. Well done, thank you!

I wrote a children’s book and am illustrating it, I’ve tried so many art mediums and gouache was recommended to me while at a local art store. SO happy I picked them up - it’s a game changer!

Wow great dear artist.i like your colour palette it's so soothing and soft. While I watching this video your colour palette red ,white and blue colours makes a abstract painting in my vision it's cool.

Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

Thank you for the very clear and useful explanation.

Amazing tutorial video! Thank you so much for sharing.

this is really informative!!

Wonderful series of tutorials for such an underappreciated medium. Very pleasant and informative! Cheers, from Toronto ☮︎

I couldn't use this with my first gouache (cakes in a pan) but I went and bought artist quality gouache and have been getting so frustrated with the muddy result. I only realized after some thought that I must have been reactivating the bottom layer, which hadn't happened with my worse-quality paints (maybe because I often mixed white into those). I appreciate this video!

Thanks -very informative :-)

Wow thanks very much

Thank you so much for this, I'm new to gouche, ans I have struggled with the layers and blending.

I have been trying to follow your blending techniques with some success! Yay! I have been looking foe a palette like the one you use in layers and blending... I found it once fleetingly on the internet and now I can never find it again. Can you point me in the right direction as I think it is the one I would like to use because it fulfills all my needs in a palette. Thank you.

Amazing

I just learned about this at a drink and draw ... and I'm not a vary .. experienced artist.. and I mainly use what ever is around. Which is cheap markers. Pens. Pencils and sharpie. ... and I always try to layer and blend them and .... well especially cryons... this doesn't work vary well. Some pens and pencils work great. But I think this might be my medium! Finally something I can blend and layer how my brain thinks it's going to work out lol

wow, thank you very much, this is exactly what i was looking for! i loved it, i'm in the middle of practicing while i write this hahaha thank you very much, seriously

This is SO helpful! These are all the issues I have just been struggling with as I learn about using gouache. So happy to hear that I can surmount these problems with instruction and practice. I was beginning to think that gouache just wasn't the right medium for what I want to do. I do have one question - I have been getting conflicting information about whether or not I can re-use gouache paint after it dries on the palette, or in a half-pan. Some say no, but I see that sometimes gouache actually comes in dry pans. What is your experience? Thank you!

She sounds like Makoccino ♥️♥️♥️

How do you eliminate brush strokes and tonal changes in opaque layer?

Where did you purchase your lovely palette? I love the vintage China style!

What kind of tape did you use for the grid?

What brand of gouache paints do you use most often? I imagine students would be wise to buy cheap to middling brands, but what about a professional?

I wonder, if the guy behind the camera is more into art or into you :D

Good videos, very clear and thorough. However, for me, it would be helpful if you slowed down and did less reading. Maybe you aren’t reading, but it sure sounds like it - rarely is someone so cadenced without reading. Do more of a situation like we were sitting there with you and you were showing us. It will sound less robot like and be easier to comprehend and take in. Take a breath every now and then, slow down, and pretend we are right there and just chatting. This is a very good video, compared to those where the person repeats over and over, drags along, or forgets what they are talking about and gets totally off subject. When it is so similar to reading, and fast without change in voice tone, pitch or volume - the brain kinda skips over what’s being said. It’s the opposite of where a really quiet, calm individual speaks or reads but it puts you to sleep. Think of Bob Ross, I loved to watch and listen to him, but if you ever had trouble sleeping, just put one of his videos on and you shortly would be nodding off. When someone speaks fast, but at exactly the same everything (tone, pitch, volume, cadence, etc), it strangely affects you in the same manner. Even though it’s not slow and easy like Ross or a gentle rain shower on a tin roof - there isn’t any thing to cause you to wake up even when really interested - and before you know it, you’ve missed what was said - your brain just tuned out. Think of the preacher in Sunday morning service -- he is talking along and just about the time we all drift off and he sees all these heads nodding, he gives us a few hell fires and damnation lines like thunder cracks in a rain storm. We don’t need that but consistent changes up and down keeps us bright and alert. Now all that said, it’s just my old fogey opinion and doesn’t count for much. Thanks so much for sharing all your experience with us.

Artists make no sense. "Buy the most expensive paint, brushes, paper/canvas you can afford, but go cheap on your palette." DOH!🤦‍♂️
