My Skillshare Class - Beginners Guide to Gouache: skl.sh/35A3eTN
This is a gouache 101 series that was commissioned by Strathmore. I originally made four videos for them but I have combined them into one here. You can find the original four over on Strathmore's KZfaq channel. This video covers materials for gouache, basic techniques, detail techniques and painting some mini landscapes. If you enjoyed the video and are looking for more in-depth gouache tutorials, you can find that over on my Patreon tutorials and in my Skillshare classes (links down below).
Check out Strathmore's channel for more art education videos: / strathmoreartist
For more real time tutorials and a more in-depth look into my painting process, feel free to check out my Patreon. All tutorials come with a full voiceover (usually live as I paint) so you can paint along with me as I take you through a painting step-by-step.

This was the best, most practical intro to gouache I’ve seen. Even being comfortable with the medium, I learned something and picked up a few new tricks. Well done!

I am completely new to painting in general. I’ve dabbled in painting when I was a kid using acrylics, but it’s been many years since I’ve touched a paintbrush. It might be crazy to start with gouache, but I’m so drawn to it. Thank you for this incredible tutorial! I’ve ordered my supplies and I’ll be starting here!

This is a wonderful media. Very natrual, logical and clean. You don't even need soap to clean it up. You can paint over what you painted and is also somewhat removal able. It is spontaneous and very forgiving. Definantely a wroth artistic adventure. I encourage you to give it a try.

I've had my gouache and watercolour set for months already and among the two, I like gouache. It feels more painterly and more convenient than watercolour, and although it's a bit harder to use, I do like the challenge. Gouache is like if acrylic could be reactivated.

Having same issue & feeling like have “painters block” & could be having very stressful time & not physically well & trying to care for my 92 year old mother & feeling just overwhelmed & never used gouache & now realized can’t use over acrylic paint as if water touches it like water color. Maybe just getting to sick to continue but miss it very much.

I used gouache as a pro illustrator and comix artist from 1990 till 2005 when I digitalized almost fully my workflow. I studied painting in the art school and used many different mediums. High quality gouache has a terrific resistance in time compared to other colors on paper.

Just be aware that you’ll probably want to avoid acrylic gouache since it does not re-activate. One more thing I would share is if you are adding to a layer and don’t want to reactivate the color(s) underneath you can use a workable fixative spray to set the previous layer. Those are the only two things I would’ve added to this excellent video.
