PAINTING TIPS: How to Paint with Holbein Acryla Gouache

Рет қаралды 39,396

Күн бұрын

Hello!
This week, in the spirit of a belated Halloween and Autumn vibes, I decided to create another "Tips" video (and this time about Painting!) I was happy to see such a positive response to my POSCA marker video that I decided it was time to make another! I noticed a lot of "Inktober" challengers were using this medium so I figured I could help some artists who are interested in this paint with a few tips. These paints are one of my favorites! They're really easy to use too :) You can find these paints at your local art supply store or online! (I got mine at Blick's)

just bought my first gouache set and it's holbein acryla, SO glad i watched this video so I know the paper towel/parchment trick. I was scared for a bit because I wasn't sure how I was gonna keep the paints from drying, but now I have firm proof that i just need a shallow pan, paper towel, and parchment paper haha. thank you so so much for making this video! love the wolf kitty, btw :)

I use the paper towel trick in a lidded shallow tupperware container. If you put the lid on after painting you can keep the paint wet for weeks.

doesn’t the paint get moldy during this time, since it stays wet without access to fresh air?

Put a copper coin (penny) on each edge of the paper to both weigh it down… and stop mould 🤗

hi!! thank you so much for the tips, esp the palette trick! i was struggling with how fast my paints were drying out so this was super helpful! what kind of pencil do you use to do your sketch onto your watercolour block? is there a reason why you used a coloured pencil rather than a regular pencil? thank you!!

@megguran 3 жыл бұрын

I'm so glad this helped! I use just a regular yellow color pencil or sometimes a col-erase or verathin color pencil. The main reason why I use the color pencil instead of a regular graphite pencil is cause the graphite will tend to smear and smudge and can be hard to cover with paint sometimes. I found the yellow or non photo blue color pencils to be the easiest to cover with paint! However, if I am transferring a final drawing onto a painting surface, I will use a regular pencil :^) hope this helps!

@megguran 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found the information helpful :) I haven't tried layering watercolor on top, but it sounds like a fun experiment to try since acryla gouache does not re-activeate when wet like traditional water based gouache! I'd say give it a go! :)

How is acrylic gouache if you work in multiple layers and detailed work?

@megguran 3 жыл бұрын

It paints much like regular acrylic paints! It's great for layering and detail work so long as you allow the layers dry between painting. It has a lovely velvet finish!

@summer.days1105 Жыл бұрын

Can acryla gouache be used on canvas?

@megguran Жыл бұрын

When primed it can be! Though, I personally feel this paint works best on a smoother surface rather than a textured surface. :^) I suggest hot pressed watercolor blocks, smooth wood panels for painting, or hot pressed illustration board
