3 Things J.C. Leyendecker Taught Me // gouache master study 🎨

We’re putting our student caps on in today’s video to create a master study and learn from Leyendecker! I’ll be painting a gouache portrait study of one of his paintings and chatting about what could go wrong with this study, the three things I learned from Leyendecker, and how I’m applying those new ideas to my own artwork. So, grab your gouache, and let’s get to painting!

I like your master study :) you took something beautiful and made it all your own, with your color choices and how warm everything looks!

Absolutely loved this video! The idea of his strokes in painting feeling like music in paint was a great thought! The gouache portrait turned out lovely. Also loved the new premiere date and time. I've always wanted to join, but I've never been able too.

[@allisonaletha]

Ahhh I’m so glad the music/brushstroke comparison resonated with you!! Thank you so much for joining the premiere. I’m glad we got to hang out!! 💛

I LOVE watching your videos while I do my own art, you are so inspiring and fun to listen to and watch. Your art is so beautiful and feels very innocent. ❤

[@allisonaletha]

Aww thank you so much Nadia!! I’m so glad I get to be a part of your art practice 🥰💛

You are far too critical of yourself. It is difficult to copy a style exactly as everyone has their own way of approaching something. Some artists are interested in shape more, for some its colour and others line is more important. You are so very talented for someone so young. Every art piece is an experiment. Artists generally don't show what they feel are their failures. I always wonder when I look at old masters' work how long they took to complete them. ❤
