Thanks for these demos, especially the encouragement to just keep painting. I am really needing that today! There’s a huge lesson at the end of the first painting. It was looking a little dark and then you added more dark contrast on the sand and it was as if you turned the lights on! Suddenly the lights on the water really popped. So sometimes achieving light is about going even darker, which is sort of counterintuitive. 🤔

Re-watching this demo to review your tips. Excellent instruction, Sarah! Having Sta-Wet palette paper and sponge has been a game changer for me with gouache. Getting used to the colour shift as it dries and that it reactivates layers below is definitely tricky, but now use that to my advantage.

Very nice. I have to admit I'm nervous about starting with gouache. Oils was my medium and on top of that I haven't painted for years. Starting in again, being rusty, with a new medium that's difficult and works completely differently than what I'm used to is going to be a challenge. Any advice?
@SarahBurnsStudio4 жыл бұрын
I feel you. But honestly painting with gouache often feels like painting with oils as it blends, except it dries faster. If you work wet into wet it feels so similar. Go check out Mike Hernandez (squatchgouache on Instagram) and you'll see how it looks like oil too!

In my experience, gouache doesn’t do well on a surface that is shiny / glossy at all. So if the canvas paper is matte or has some tooth to it, I’m sure it would be fine!

Dang, sooo pretty. You inspire my journey into gouache. I have a question for you. When you were in the states where did you get your Holbein paints from? I have picked up a few from a local art supply store in Madison, WI and they are M Graham. On that note I have read from other artists that when using those in the field the honey in them attracts ants. Would like to get a set of Holbein and perhaps Winsor & Newton. Anyway....love your videos...only do KZfaq and Instagram.
@SarahBurnsStudio5 жыл бұрын
That's wonderful to hear Toni! I got my paints from an art store in Denver called Meininger. It's like a candy store for artists! They even let you try stuff out before you buy it. I will point out that after using the holbeins for over a year, I am starting to shift away from them. The older they get the more "stiff" they get right out of the tube. They are extremely opaque but I worry about their shelf life. I have a few W&N colors that so far are staying very creamy. I haven't tried any other brands and I'm curious about them.

I've used the blue tape for years, on nearly every type of paper. It doesn't rip it. With most tapes, you have to wait for the paper to 100% dry before removing, and if it still rips it, try using a hairdryer to heat it up before peeling.
