Painterly Techniques with Gouache ✶ MY TOP 3 TIPS

In this video I'll share my top 3 tips for creating a painterly technique with gouache. It's easier than you think, although it still takes time just like everything else! You need to actively work on these things each time you paint. I started out years ago wanting to achieve a painterly style because it's what I love to look at the most. Even after all this time I am discovering new ways to achieve my art goals. I hope these tips help you towards yours. #gouache

I love this style of painting, but had no idea it was referred to as ‘painterly’, seems obvious/appropriate when you think about it 😂. Love the final landscape!

I've heard of painterly. Didn't realize what it was. Really pretty. ❤

I’m in love with your little sheep! (Sheeps? Ships? Sheepisses?) The way you apply colors on their little bods illustrates the principles of shape and shadow and stroke that you’re talking about. So much to learn! But it helps when you make clear what this learning enables us to so with our painting. 🫶 As always, thanks Sarah!

Thanks, Sarah! These are great tips. Some I've heard before but they do bear repeating, and maybe moreso that I'm starting to explore gouache, coming from watercolour for many a year. I'm still struggling at just working with the medium. Getting the right consistency of paint is still difficult for me, but it really means that I need to practice mixing paint and water more, and applying it to see how it works.

I love the way this Paint layers. Painterly is a good word for how beautiful it is.

Love this! So glad I found you last week! Now…to get some gouache paints. Real art stores are like dinosaur bones- they’re around, but not necessarily where you live. ❤️

Off topic but I always admire how clean your brushes look and the hairs stay in place. Do you (or anyone else) have tips on how to prevent brushes from getting frayed? No matter how careful I am with the way I use them, after using them a few times, round brushes lose the pointy tips and flat brushes aren't very flat.
