    I'd love to see perhaps a real time video of the purple ones - perhaps with a peaceful music overlay!

    this is a great idea, I'm always uncertain about doing longer real time videos, but I will do a vid with the purple faces :)

    Thank you for the video!! Another reason why I believe layering is fundamental for gouache is that layering makes the gouache painting more realistic. Gouache tends to produce flat cartoony paintings/illustrations. Layering and being able to see brushstrokes resembles oil and watercolor paintings which for us artists who want realism is very important!

    yes, this is a great explanation! I love the in between of realism and illustration which I feel that gouache captures really well

    Loved listening to all your tips! I use acrylics and watercolors, so gouache sound like an in-between, so I found the advice helpful all the same! 😊Your portraits are beautiful, and I love how the cool blues here look on the warm toned paper!

    Yes please share the footage of the purple portraits too! I’ve been working with gouache more & the layering is fun. I’m still struggling with giving up in the ugly phase but find I need to do some “self-talk” to get me to a more finished piece. Trusting what you “see” in the reference photo is an exercise that must be practiced continuously. Particular areas that I have difficulty with are areas that are pivotal to defining the face (all the shadow portions of the nose & smile lines within the mouth/cheek). Any tips you’re will to share are much appreciated! Watching your process is SO helpful. Thank you!

    Hi Sarah! So glad this was useful! Yes, I agree with the "ugly phase" and having to do some self-talk to push through- I still get this even though I have gone through many ugly phases with my illustrations. But as you say, the more you do it the more used to trusting the process. I will be putting up the purple faces video too! thanks for watching 🥰
