    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 I originally made four videos for them but I have combined them into one here.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 CZcams 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!

  • @laurenmaureen
    @laurenmaureen Před rokem +498

    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!

    • @Freederick1
      @Freederick1 Před rokem +39

      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.

    • @GlamGoddes101

      I’m starting with gouache too! I love watercolor and I’ve fallen in love with the type of artwork people create with gouache

    I was an art student many years ago and it only just occurred to me that we used guache but at no point was I given any tips. I learnt more in 10 minutes of watching this video than my first year of art college. Thank you.

    This is the most helpful video I’ve found. Just bought a 24 set of gouache, and after going through a blind attempt earlier to just learn things on my own, I quickly felt _very_ confused. And then I found your video! Thanks so much for making such a simple yet informative beginners video. More power to you! ☺️

  • @ikariiprince
    @ikariiprince Před rokem +122

    We all start somewhere. I’m glad to be here with a lot of other beginners trying something new!! No matter what age or where you’re at in life never stop learning
    As Jake the dog said: “sucking at something is the first step to being kinda good at something”

  • @theobolt250
    @theobolt250 Před rokem +26

    PERRRRR FECT! Every instruction video should be like this. Clear and precise matter of fact presentation. Also insightful where technique and how to-stuff is concerned. In other words: the ideal starting point! It has made me enthousiast to pick it up again! Thank you!

  • @charliepea
    @charliepea Před rokem +8

    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.

  • @phoenix.maximus
    @phoenix.maximus Před rokem +28

    i went to art school after graduating high school and the first thing we had to do was get a gouache set and i had never even heard of it before. i ended up learning alot of what you demonstrated just through experimentation, but a crash course would have been great! nice video and paintings

      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.

    In high school I watercolored a lot, and now I've graduated university and wanted to try painting with something thicker than watercolor. You inspired me and helped me figure out that gouache was what I was looking for! Thank you and I'll try all this out!

  • @lolitaras22
    @lolitaras22 Před rokem +12

    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.

  • @earth_and_spice
    @earth_and_spice Před 23 hodinami
