- So what exactly happens during a gouache study session (and why?). In this video I will be showing my entire process from initial idea, value study, color concept sketch and then final study. It's not really a tutorial, but rather a way for me to share my authentic study experience. Hang out with me while you work on something and we will be painting buddies today :) #gouache

I really enjoy the longer more in depth videos. It helps me when you explain why you’re doing things a certain way.
Even your thumbnail sketches are gorgeous. Lovely video.
I love the longer form content to just have in the background when working on something myself. :) I've been painting little characters and stuff for a baby-memories-book that I'm putting together for a friend. -- Also yeah with the cold, been -24 C'ish in here the past few days.. :E
When I turn on CZcams I look first for a new video from you. I love everything you do. Scotland has always fascinated me and because I can’t physically get there, you take me there on your adventures outside. You have also helped me to plan out my sketches and paintings better. And you’re helping me so much in learning gouache. Sorry this was so long. Please keep the videos coming, short or long doesn’t matter.
Wow, thank you! I'm happy to help in whatever way I can :)
Thank you for taking time to explain the process as you paint the smallest details. I've started using gouache after watercolors and was having issues with things looking flat. This video has been very helpful. Thank you.
That’s the great thing about gouache… you can regain the light way more easily than with watercolour. It’s really helpful, listening to your thoughts as you go through the paintings/drawings. It’s also nice hearing the normal chit chat of a lovely couple. Especially given all the awful things going on in the world coming to light. On the whole, educational and uplifting. Thankyou ✨🫶🏻✨
I really enjoyed this long-form video from you, and seeing the entire process from value study, to color thumbnail, to final painting from sketch to completion. 👍
Regarding the fine liners, Tom's studio makes a refillable one called the lumos with changeable tips; it's honestly a gorgeous thing and it was a game changer for me!
Doesn't the tip erode over time?
@@SarahBurnsStudio yeah, it's the only part of the pen that's disposable. They're really easy to change out! I used to be a big sakura micron person but I haven't bought one since I got it.
Marvellous long video showing your process. Fascinating and I have taken note to paint a study sketch before diving into a painting. Thank you Sarah.
I love this! I have an obsession with twisty trees and roots, too.
I just discovered your channel and really enjoyed watching this video. Coincidentally I just picked up a package of Tombow greyscale markers for about 3 pounds at our local dollar store. I’m not sure why they were so cheap and how they suddenly appeared at our store very fortuitous with your video discovery. It is very good how you’ve gone from a greyscale study to showing how you apply those principles in your painting. I appreciate the intellectual approach to your process and artwork.
I love this video :) I was doing watercolour and gouache studies while this played in the background and it felt like I was painting with a friend! Thank you :)
Brilliant video - what a lovely long video it was and really enjoyed watching while I was doing some crocheting. I love trees and like you I hug and touch and even talk to them as well and thanking them.. Your final painting had me in aww looks so real and alive. Well done...
Thank you so much!
🙏 I really enjoyed this longer video... Both times! First view was watching and listening to learn about the painting process. The second view today was just listening, whilst I colour swatched new shin han gouache... Its a new medium to me and I'm loving it, so thanks for the recommendation (from previous vids) and of course the process insights, hints, tips and company... No doubt I will return to this share/little online painting convention 😁
I love the videos you are doing. I do art work along with you. You make me relax after days of stress. I am enjoying the tips you have for layering etc. I get so much out of watching your process. Thank you.
I really enjoyed this longer and slow paced video! Thank you. I don’t think I would have had the courage to add that last branch but I like it 🙈
Thank you, Sarah!! Old gnarly trees are my absolute favorite… well, trees of any kind, really. This was so informative and interesting to me! I just basically sit down, do my sketch and paint! If I did that much thinking, my head would explode 😂 I’ve never been formally taught and I see vast improvement in my painting, which makes me happy. At my age, I’m not looking for anything more than improvement. My medium is watercolor, but I’m experimenting with gouache, which is fun. Been watching your channel for years! Thanks, again!
Love the detailed study. Makes me realize I tend to rush to the finish. Maybe I need to take more time for the details and depth of color story
I really enjoy listening to you while I work on something of my own. Today it was a splodge and scribble watercolor seascape. (I borrowed the name from Helen Cryer but actually first learned this technique doing urban sketching with Taria's Sketchy Adventures. I'm really enjoying just splashing the watercolor on where I think it should go and then tightening things up a bit with ink later. It's much freer than my old way of pencil first then ink and watercolor, in a tight staying in the lines kind of way. It felt like coloring in lol. This way there's no pencil, just my number 12 brush and some paint and I'll figure out the rest later.
Just on a side note. I know you like hobbit houses and the "Living big in a tiny house" youtube channel had a walkthrough of the big hobbit house yesterday. They went through how it was built, the scale of it and how they furnished it. I'd live in it 😄
Great video. Watched the first half which inspired me to work on a painting (watercolour, that was and is still almost finished )while listening and glancing at the rest of your video.
Always wonderfully educational & encouraging. Thanks for sharing what & how you do.
Loved the longer format! You and Wolfy are funny. So I tried really hard to paint it with you and, boy, it was a challenge!! Mine looks horrible, but glad I tried. I better have learned something lol. Thanks for sharing your process with us 🤩
I worked on 3 thumbnails for a wrap sticker. Tried your gray value study for one and thoroughly enjoyed it
Very relaxing painting with you. Getting a peek inside your brain as you make your decisions. Actually dozed off and had to rewind. Thanks so much for the video.
loved this video, I have been watching you for the last few years and you inspired me to get back painting so thank you. My partner has just moved up to your neck of the woods and when viewing houses I felt I knew the area so well though your fab videos from your other channel so again thank you for sharing great content. p.s..I love Portsoy.
This was such a fantastic video. I really got a lot out of this in depth video. Thank you! Would love to see more.
I feel so inspired by your beautiful work ❤ yes please show more of these videos❤
Amazing- I learned so much! Thank you. Just found out about you yesterday- going to join your Patreon today!
Thank you for sharing your process. You have a very relaxing voice, so I had to watch your video again to see the end result, as I had fallen asleep before you finished your painting. 😅
Hi Sarah! Thank you for posting!!!
So so happy to have a new video to watch! I love your work ❤
Love the longer video!❤
very good. It helped me start using my new gouache from your box. It is great to se real time work with this type media. Very relaxing also.
ohhhh I love this kind of video!!!
I really enjoyed it as well. the longer more in depth videos are really helping. Im voting for more :D. kisses form France, Elisa.
I got your box yesterday. So excited to get started.
Have fun!
it's so lovely seeing how you work 🥰 the little monochrome sketches are so pretty!
Thank you!
Thank you Sarah, a fabulous session and a pleasure to follow you in it. X
Once again Sarah - you blow me away. I truly appreciate your longer explanations on why and how you do what you do. Especially when it comes to the shadow colours and how to capture the light coming through the trees. Please continue on this path you are on. I'm loving every video you send our way. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this wonderful insight and painting demo...very inspiring.
Love this! The process is so interesting to watch. Hope you do more like this. 😊
Yes I very much enjoyed this format. Nice to see all the stages and discoveries.
Yes also catch myself shifting from observing to "autopilot" often lol. For me, without your brush mileage, it usually does not add successfully to the piece
sarah, I love that you show how it really is...painting is a struggle many times..trial and error...and not simply a kiss of inspiration. thank you for your honesty!
🕵️Was it Blackwing pearl I saw? Those are so underrated but they are my absolute favorite! On another note I want to take the time to tell you that I really like your vibe and how you explain things! Your channel and your art are amazing. You even gave me the little push I needed to try gouache! It might become my number one who knows!
Loved this video, It's great to have on in the background as you paint. Thank you.
For a new commission I will paint a jungle. It will be my first jungle painting and for the first time I’m planning to paint with virdian !!! I’m deciding to use alizarin crimson, ochre , indanthrene blue . So this video helped me a lot ❤ although I will use watercolor. I hope you will continue this kind of videos 🍀💙🌺
I’m glad that you told how you feel like your brain is fried after painting 😅 not glad that it happens to you though. Due to my health condition I get tired a lot quicker than others, so I find it a relief in a way that healthy people and even professionals get that as well after painting. I guess it makes me feel more normal. Although i’m sure my sessions are way shorter
That was the best two hours I've spent in a long time! Thanks for the video Sarah, really enjoyed it and a great painting at the end! 🙂
Hi Sarah. Just buzzed through the video...marvellous!! Will watch it again later.
Love the long-form video as you talk about your thought process in creating your painting❣️
This was fantastic, Sarah! I really enjoyed you explaining your thought process as you worked. 😊
Love to hear your thought process as you talk. It helps is see the why and how more easily. Would love to see this format again.
Funny you should ask what we're working on... I began what was supposed to be a "pencil & wash" of Dunnotar (from my trip there 15 years ago-I live in NY), but I always end up overworking it to the point that the pencil gets covered too much. TOTALLY did it again. Not to mention, although I sketched it a couple of weeks ago, I'm home with a fever right now and pulled it out for something to do. TIP OF THE DAY... Don't plan on painting a 'masterpiece' when you have a fever. This has gone into the, "Oh well-at least I got in more practice" category.
That was such a great session, thank you Sarah! Step by step the approach to the end result, so many insights. This was the most helpful session by far for me!
Really enjoyed this one 🤌👍 and beautiful outcome. Love the texture of the bark and the mossy parts
Such a beautiful tree and a beautiful painting! I like the slower, longer format.
I could write a book about this episode 😂 1st thank you for the longer full process video! They are so helpful & fun to watch. You’ve inspired me to really start working on value thumbnails first, I’m always so inpatient & pass up that step & find myself lost in my painting later when it looks flat & I’m tryin fix it. I’m working on finishing a sketchbook painting of a double waterfall I didn’t finish on my last hike.
Loved the chit chat too, my hubby & I have played D&D for 40 years. Met online on a gaming website I ran. The Die 20 (d20) table top system revolutionized the online gaming world. Monks are BA, one of my fav characters was a monk. Hubby is also playing Boulders Gate. I feel like we’re soulmates as we hav so many mutual hobbies 😂😅 Cheers 🍻
The more I play BG3 the more fascinated I am by the complexity of d20, and I can totally see why so many people have played it over the decades.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and techniques with everyone. I’ve learned a great deal already and am excited about incorporating many of these techniques into my own painting experience. I look forward to seeing what you present in the future.
Super nice to hang out for a couple hours with you Sarah. I love what's going on in the back ground especially on the left and the far right trunk. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I'm working on a scratchboard piece as I watch this. Thank you for doing a longer informative video.
This is so educational for me! And think the watery background is working beautiful and makes atmospheric perspective
Thank you Sarah You are a great painter🌹💖
Wolfy,awwwwww
Trying to get motivated today
Love the sketches,wonderful
So true...your darkest dark looks mysterious and deeper than just pure black👏👏👏
This is Great!!!! Thank you!!
thank you for making such healing and inspiring video, i recently feel stuck in drawing my art and feel nervous not gonna do well , but watching the way you create smooth my fear and wanting to grad my pen to keep doing what i love
I love your tree sketches, I have been called a tree hugger and bunny lover, but really just a life lover and love your art. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Loved everything about this video! As a beginner, I find it enormously helpful to hear your process. I've joined your Patreon recently and have already learned a ton. I'm currently going through all of the Paintalongs before they are retired. Thanks for all that you do to help us grow in the art community.
Love the book, it was a Christmas present to myself : ) Hope to make a trip to Scotland soon, but the C word hit and we had to cancel :( I am working on a landscape with mountains in my sketch book as I listen to your video. Flying out to the Eleuthra, Bahamas tomorrow, I am taking my watercolors and a small sketch book, you have inspired me to try plein air painting, wish me luck!
Excited to watch! I’m just getting into gouache and long videos like this are a great learning tool! Going to watch while sewing
Cool, what are you making?
It was a plushie!! A cute little horse :)
By the way, thanks for showing your mixing palette! Mixing with watercolor and gouache always seems so daunting; it’s kind of nice to know we don’t need to meticulously separate all our mixing areas
I ❤ hanging out with you Sarah!!!
This was so much fun!!! Thank you!!!
What a gorgeous painting 🎨 🖌️!!!!
Thank you :)
LOVE this video Sarah!! Nice to see the thumbnails to final painting. And that chunky brush is delicious! So happy it'll be in one of the gouache boxes! And of course, video gaming is a must 😊 I'm a Zelda girl!
Thank you so much for sharing your process with us Sarah. I love your in-depth videos. I learned so much from this one, I will watch it again. Please do more of these. I have one question: you took us through the value study, color concept study, and final study, all preparation for the final finished painting. Could you do a video where you take us through your process working the final painting from start to finish? I'd love to see how you do that. 😊🙏
This particular session wasn't in preparation for a 'final' painting - the final study you see was the culmination of my efforts. It was a learning experience, which will help me during future paintings :)
I received my kit 2 days ago!!! So excited. 🎉
Wonderful!
Haha! Love your reaction to Wolfy’s declaration that three trunks are better than two! Like you weren’t really buying it… lol
BTW nice Spanish accent, Wolfy!
I love getting him to talk about art, or explain why he likes something 😆
Ps all the sketches and especially the painting is soooooo nice!!! Love the moss and bark texture
I really appreciate the full experience you're providing for us! As someone who came back to painting during the pandemic, following along with youtube tutorials, I feel like I missed a key learning step- to not just jump from sketch to painting, but the thumbnails, value studies, and color studies before staring on the 'finished' piece
It's become such an important part of my process. Of course I still sometimes jump straight into the 'final' painting but if I really want to STUDY I do the whole process
Loved it Sarah! Thank you for coming to my house. I am such a jump right in girl and it was so nice to watch your process. Now I am going to "try and be like Sarah " and do some value sketches etc first. You really are a doll. Oh and keep up with the Spanish you two!
I really enjoyed hearing you think out your process…I will incorporate these small studies in my practice as I think it was so valuable. The longer version was also great and I felt I picked up many tips along the way..Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Your small, ink value studies are so beautiful.
Thank you :)
Thanks in advance for the video. I am sitting in my favourite chair knitting dishcloths while watching you. Thanks for the paint box which arrived this week. Can't wait to get at it.
Have fun!
Just starting this vid and had to say wow!!! your black and white pen and ink mini landscapes are amazing. I would love to see how you might express these trees via an etching. Have you thought about dry point etching? Or even lino block printing? I think your beautiful drawing skills would lend themselves to simple dry point .
Hello Sarah o/. I just wanted to say that I love this longer format videos ❤. If it's not a problem, could you think about making more of those, please?. I started fallowing you when you already stoped doing your monthly twitch streams and I was so sad I missed all this fun 😢. And with this video I felt like paint along with friends, was great! . Also it turns out I play the same games as you two and it was cool to hear other people nerding about like I do 😂 ( shoutout for druid choise :)). Wish you great day and all the spring vibes for you and Wolfy.
I do want to do some more of these longer study videos. It seems to be more popular than I expected. Yay for another BG3 player! Turns out we've become totally obsessed with it. I've already restarted like 3 times to play different builds. My current favorite is BARD! Who knew...we are also doing a co-op with our friend online, and I'm a Deep Gnome Druid which is so fun!
Very interesting and informative. I love your vids :). BTW I do speak Spanish fluently and Wolfie has a wonderful start ..bravoo!!! ;D
Excellent 👌👌👌
I just love watching your videos while doing something it feels like parallel play 😊 I've been putting off sharpening my colored pencils but I'm doing that while watching you paint (since I like to sharpen them with a knife)! Not as therapeutic as painting maybe but it feels like woodworking without the commitment 😂 Thanks for showing us your whole process from ink value studies to final painting ❤
That sounds like it would be a labour of love
Just discovered this channel and I really enjoy the long-form videos. I appreciate being able to see the process and work involved in the creation of the painting :) Do you ever have live streams on Twitch?
I have to admit that I didn't see much of you painting because I tried to sketch a bit to. And I startet to focus more on my sketches than what was happening on my screen 😅 But I really had fun listening to you talking! It was like being not completely alone while drawing ❤
1:27:55 Fire starters. 😂 OMG Sarah BURNS her paintings. Literally. 🔥You are true to your name. 😎
I was working on a line and wash painting in my sketchbook, a thumbnail. But started watching you, breakfast, and too many other things lol.
Doing?? A master study! :)
I'm collaging a birb and flowers with you! 🐥🪻
Oooh I LOVE that! So cool that you share the entire process, that is very very helpful, I love your calm but concise style of explaining and I can learn such a lot😘 Also besides the "painterly learnings" I always really appreciate there is an other part... Sometimes when I only see people's short videos I can't really estimate how long it really took them to finish what they show and what steps that included. That then makes me feel like my process is sooo slow and I neever get to the end. I know we should not compare but I still feel the need to get quicker in what I do... So thank you for showing in this one that you too take your time! That should be a good reminder 🙃
That was my hope, to show the true process of discovery and also how long it takes
I saw a video recently where you talked about using watercolor pencils in the cold/snow and was wondering if you've tried the caran cache neocolor 1 &2? The neocolor 2's a pretty much qouache and you need such very little water to activate and the neocolor 1, are water resistant, but can be layered on top of the 2's. It's a pretty amazing medium, especially for those who love gouache and want a portable solution.
I enjoy longer videos but I can’t always watch them right away.
Hey. I still Luv your tutorials. I will be able to come back to your Patrion soon to give gouache a go, as they say out your way. Gouache is definitely not in my comfort zone, but I am intrigued, and I am watching this whole tutorial, following along using my own photo from the forest. I have guoache primary colors. We'll see how it goes.💚
Take your time, enjoy the discovery :)
Working on twilight from a Hawaiian mountain/ocean photo. First round has some interest but it is more help to try again. Using watercolor. My brother-in-law is supposed to send me photos from a recent trip to Big Bend, hope he doesn’t forget.
Sounds like a fun painting!
I like this type of video you gave alot of helpful techniques of layering, especially for new artist.. have you ever thought of making homemade books of your paintings like just hole punching three holes use twine and wrap then sell them for a small amount you might be surprised how many people would like those" little booklets" of your paintings even if you dont think much of them..its a way of getting your art to people that love your creative pieces but dont have wall space or alot of money to purschase your lovely wall art..💙✍👩🎨🎨🇺🇲🇨🇦💙
I've been thinking of compiling lots of my sketches into a book...another project on the long list!
Love
I am working with colored pencils. Landscapes in a coloring book. Thank you.
