Loved the whole class, learned a lot. The shadow was hilarious!

I loved this! Excellent information, plus to know that I'm not the only one to see green in the evening skies, and having grown up with Mt Rainier to my east, I spent a lot of time watching that beautiful glow on the mountain! I never knew there was a name for it.

This guy is the best teacher!!! Thank you, thank you.

I searched and searched for what I need, and I finally found it! Thank you!

THE SUNSET TRICK!! What an amazing concept! I've been struggling with sunsets all summer long and now, because of you, I've made a breakthrough!! thxthxthx!

This is a great teacher and great artist. I enjoy what he draws.

This was so helpful! Now I know how to paint with gouache! Definitely the best I have found on the internet so far.

I like this guy instantly.

*"It's a numbers game."* - That sentence brought up a lot of yes and no's in my mind. I've been to a design school where they give an absurd amount of homework with tight deadlines and you can watch yourself improve in a very short time, so I see where he's coming from when he says that. But right now I'm in a phase where I take weeks on end to finish just 3 paintings, digitally. I slowed down like crazy just to be really sure of what I'm doing and I'm convinced it helps my work a great deal. So if he had asked me that question I'd have said "0 drawings today boss, still working on the same". So what I'm trying to say is, getting as much practice as possible is the most important thing. But at the same time, when artists, especially students, start focusing on the number instead of the quality, they simply improve their "average drawing skill" and they never see how far they could push one piece and thus build lower quality expectations on their own work.

novusvoss I think he means that we should push our work as far as we can while doing these other things in between.When I get involved with too many paintings and don't take time to sketch daily, practice, and exercise my abilities in other mediums, I DO feel like I lose out. My ability to create the BASE image before the painting portion of my work diminishes. I have gone through periods after long stretches of nothing but large paintings where I was sure I was losing my ability because suddenly I couldn't transfer an image from my eye to paper anymore. It was because, even though I was being creative every day, I wasn't PRACTICING It's really important to be well rounded, which means doing sketches and using other mediums to do small studies in between large works so that we don't lose our base ability or grow stagnant in our art. Failing to create in these ways (sketching etc) on a daily basis is also a psychological thing. We may become tired of our art, burned out on our art, or discouraged if our piece doesn't work out and we've gone an entire month without creating anything successfully; because part of everything in our life involving ability requires accomplishment and encouragement. We have to feed our creative ego in order to find inspiration to continue creating. If we are creating small pieces, even small well composed sketches that are successful, that also does something to drive our creative machine. Despite the fact that as an artist the majority of our time is consumed by larger works, we should be journaling, and sketching, and observing. Daily practice is important for even the most skilled artist.

Jude Visuality "We have to feed our creative ego in order to find inspiration to continue creating." Very well said. I actually agree on everything you said, I just have a hard time putting it into practice. Reason for that are all the sweet distractions life has to offer and it's an everyday game to make as much time for work as possible and at the same time prioritize what to work on. In a perfect world I'd eat fresh healthy homecooked food, have 2hrs physical exercise everyday, practice design sketching, composition, gouache, colours and 3D and then still spend 10hrs on my main project and of course get a healthy amount of sleep. And additionally find time to hang out with friends every once in a while. One day I hope I can manage to lead this kind of lifestyle, but for now I'm prioritzing, trying to cover as much as I can.. And so far I haven't met one art student which doesn't struggle with the same issue.

Oh yeah. As an artist I struggle to do all of the things that I'm noting to you, but life is a constant struggle. Here are a few things that help me out when I feel like I don't have time for everything or ANYTHING! I cook all of my meals on Monday to last till Friday. I usually buy a pack of chicken and make shredded or chopped chicken for salads and wraps. I make sure to keep lots of frozen side options to keep my body guessing, because a healthy body is imperative to a healthy mind. and healthy creativity. I also sketch on a napkin when I'm out with friends or do silly cartoon things to get that self-esteem boost. I will often do thirty second studies with gouache or watercolor just before bed. Silly little things really, just to remind me of how the medium works, how the paper works, and to stay loose...especially if I'm working in acrylic or oil on some tight piece or large assignment. Most importantly. I try to remember that school is more about what I get out of the experience than what I get from the experience. I try to do my assignments while I keep in mind not to be too obsessive. If I am crippling my creativity to complete school, then I'm doing the exact opposite of what I'm meant to be doing. I wish you all the best of luck in school, and that you achieve whatever dreams you are working toward. :)

+novusvoss why do violin virtuosos practice their scales everyday? Why do champion boxers practice their punches and skip rope everyday ? Why are professional chess grandmasters practicing their game everyday ? Why do champion golfers practice everyday ?

Alba Whiteman I wasn't talking about practice but how to practice. It was about high numbers/lower quality vs. low numbers/higher quality.

What kind of paper is the toned paper you're painting on? I only ever see toned drawing paper.

Thank you. Finally, the coin drops!

Link to the blog post with the colors?

It baffles me that so many watercolorists think opacity is inherently bad. Pastels are 100% opaque, but no one says they're inherently muddy, flat, or cartoonish.

Anyone know the water brush hes using?

Hi which color do you have on your palette?

What paper do you use for gouache?

What kind of paper are u using? HP Cp? Bristol?

What happened to the sound.. All I hear is a hiss through the whole video and it's not my device because everything else comes through fine... Thank you for any help

what is acryl gouache, and how to use it?

@skelatori

Just incase you're still wondering I think that type of gouache has acrylic binder in it. When it dries it's permanent. So when you paint layers the dried layer underneath won't be reactivated by water, unlike regular gouache.

+Bright Future Many years ago I was given a set of pan designer gouache by Grumbacher and I've only now started to really use them. i have to say I have never come across gouache in this format. So I'm glad to see this answer about simply applying tube gouache and letting them dry. (why didn't I think of that!?) But just in case anyone wants to look for them, try Grumbacher.
