INTRODUCTION TO GOUACHE | A Beginners Guide - Materials, Blending, Techniques and more

Real-Time Gouache Tutorials (Patreon): / jesschung
My Skillshare Class - Beginners Guide to Gouache: skl.sh/35A3eTN
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 I originally made four videos for them but I have combined them into one here.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 KZread 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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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! ☺️

    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.

    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.
