3 Ways to Paint with Gouache 

Dear Paul, thank you for supporting my country Ukraine. This is very important for me and our people. When I draw with you, I don't think about war. I drew 25 pictures of you. Thank you very much.

Thank you for the shoutout ☺️ I really liked your demos especially all the lovely dry brush textures in the second one 😍

😂 “crossed over to the dark side, using oil and acrylics” so funny! I am just halfway there. Still loving using watercolour and still wanting to see all your brilliant work. Thank you!

This timing is PERFECT! I just started painting with goauche, did a search, and a new good ol' Paul Clark video appears. Thank you, sir!

Thank you so much now I would like more tutorials with flowers and gouache please…enjoy your vacations😊

Omg, this was phenomenal!!!!! If I understand correctly, and maybe I don't, Gouache seems to offer the greatest flexibility? Cannot tell you how much I love the last, flat painting. Just beautiful. Thank you!

Oh my gouache, this episode is a gem! (I can’t help it, I’m a mom who loves a good dad joke.) I love how you show gouache’s potential. The 1930s rail poster is so special and it’s lovely to see you pay tribute. Thanks so much!

Amazing work. Especially the 'Poster', love that look. 😀👍

Good morning dear Paul! The week began with a series of terrible earthquakes around the world, and I sincerely condole and sympathize with all the people affected by the earthquake in Turkey, Syria and other countries! Lord, save us from trouble, war, disease 🙏🙏🙏😢😢😱😨😢 !!! But despite this, I'm glad to see you again in a new video! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your work, I liked the video and like it as always 👍! We have a warm weather t ° + 3 + 6 ° C. the snow is melting 🌦️☔🌧️ and it smells like spring. Crocuses have bloomed in our garden 🌷🌺 are already blooming, and the grass has been green all winter.We have a quiet and calm environment, like in Baghdad 🤣, everything is in the stores, there is no shortage of products to choose from, take whatever you want! This is where I finish writing, all the best to you and kind my dear Paul!Write the answer, don't forget🖐️🖐️🤗😊!!!Bye...bye dear 💋 Paul, until next Wednesday!!! 💋💋💋♥️♥️♥️🖼️🖼️🖼️🎨🎨🎨🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊🖐️🖐️🖐️👍👍👍👍

Oh my! 3 in 1, with so much technique to observe and absorb. The little dibs and dabs and flicks and fleck at the end always turn you paintings into works of art; thats the mastery. 👍🏼

These were great. I particularly loved the last one. I am getting ready to do a line and wash of the house a friend grew up in. After watching the last one you did, I have decided I will paint it in WC and a second version in gouache. Thanks again for all you do.

Please, more travel poster styled images! Fabulous! That appears deceptively easy and is most interesting to see it done.

Thank you for the gouache tutorials. Much appreciated. It just goes to show how versatile gouache can be as a medium.

This is brilliant Paul. 3 different techniques with 3 outstanding results. Love the 2nd one, looks like an oil painting.

So relaxing and eye-opening - I want to go away and paint now!

What a refreshing tutorial, three different methods and different but similar. Just love the 1930's poster style took me back to school days, learned "stylisation" rendered in acrylics. I am on the "dark side" trying hard to cross back into the light 🤣. Have an oil underpainted, ready for the completion when it calls me again, but loving water colour challenge. Much more difficult. Thanks again Paul

Paul, you did all of those planes? That's amazing! I love the old military paintings like that. My husband has a poster of St. Mary's Lighthouse in the northern part of England and I think Whitley Bay in 1930's prints. He and his family would spend summers in that area. Thanks for a throwback to the railway prints of that time.

Thank you for not one, but 3, tutorials!! Enjoy your vacation.

This has changed my painting style! Wow loved all three Styles. AND I think I'm changing to Gouache. Thank you from New Zealand.

Thank you so much for your demonstrations of gouache painting. Your paintings amaze me every time! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with all of us!!

This was just fabulous! I especially loved the last one. Lena Rivo is another great gouache painter.

Thank you for taking the extra time to snow us all about guache. I have been wondering about trying it. Love the poster looking one! Hope your trip was smashing! Going on a painting retreat is on my bucket list.

Blessed hands and a blessed and beautiful soul Sir. Thanks for sharing your talent with us! ❣️

I had no clue what was it to use gouache. I really like, thanks again Paul!

I said “wow” so many times! Amazing paintings! I loved each one. Your skill in gouache blows me away. I’m definitely gonna try to paint these. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. Praying you have a fun trip. Maybe someday I’ll be there. 🙏🏻❤️

Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for sharing with your Paul Clark minions!

Great minds think alike. Gurney and Burns are the only 2 gouache painters I watch at the moment.

Wow - these look like so much fun ! I can’t believe the last one took you 5 hours - I’ll probably be at it for a week 😂 hope you’re enjoying La Gomera - one of these days I’ll join you

Great Job Paul, another victory. Loved all three demos. Used to dabble in acrylics maybe it's time to give them a go again. You'll be missed but left us with much to think about. Sherry

thanks Paul for your latest demos you have convinced me to stick with watercolour & white paper

Beautiful peaceful music.. I like to watch a few times before I attempt to paint..

Thankyou .Never used Gouache, always water colours, but now I will give it a go.

Perfect timing Paul I’ve just bought some gouache tubes and struggled to fully appreciate the techniques that can be used. I love your work and always feel inspired by you. Enjoy your time away, it would be great if you could post the odd gouache painting tutorial from time to time after you return!

Wow, Paul you are great, excellent, brilliant, and fantastic with Gouache! I love all of your paintings. Thank you

Oh, i really like that. I struggle a bit with Gouache, no matter what I try to paint with it like with Watercolor. But I think I give that illustration style a try.

Thankyou, I love gouche, I use it...intermingling with watercolor.... I'm not a professional...just do it for my peace of mind..makes me happy. I've sold some..which was a great satisfaction. Thankyou for your tutorials!! Very helpful.

Hey I always see gouache in the stores but I usually never bother to buy them knowing we are in a watercolor group. Thank you for explaining this that gouache is just like acrylic and watercolor. Thank you for the beautiful paintings and the when I go to town next time I am definitely going to buy gouache.

Paul, the last painting reminds me of the pictures on crates of fruit from long ago. I just did an image search of that and found many beautiful examples which would make great gouache subjects. Thanks for all you do!

Perfect. I got some gouache paints for Christmas which I haven't used yet, so now........I can give it a go. Thank you. Andy

@Paul Clark you made me laugh with your dark side comments, I came to watercolour from oils after a 10 year break from art didn't want the mess and chemicals, I'd not thought about gouache. Will definitely be giving the gouache a play now. Enjoy your trip think of us shivering here in the UK lol

Thanks Paul loads of room for thought. Have great break.

Beautiful!!! Process, Music, Instruction. Thank you for this!

This was a great video. I’m not a gouache painter, but I’m thinking I should expand my horizons and give it a try. I especially liked the “poster” effect. Thanks for sharing! 😊

Love this! I got introduced to gouache through Sarah Burns videos - so cool to have you reference her. AND, enjoy your "working" trip........ so jealous! I live in Washington State and it is beautiful but at this time of year cold, and wet. So of course I envy your travel destination!!!

This was such a massive eye opener regarding gouache. Many, many thanks for filming this! 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you, thank you! I loved all them, but specially the latest, it is really beautiful!

great paintings I really loved the last one, as i love those 1930 posters

Again...SUPERB Paul. Hughs from Chile.

A huge thanks for sharing this wonderful video with three different types of results with gouache!! I have been working with this medium for about 5 months now & have not realized how versatile it was to paint with. I have been painting kind of like the 3 ways & just didn’t know that all of those ways were positive results. I am also thrilled to know that I am following both of those great gouache artists who you mentioned. Thanks for helping me figure out how to use gouache & watercolors!!!❤Wishing I was painting at your events!!! Hopefully you’re planning to share of tidbits of how things are going there in future videos! Have a great time!!!

Thank You, Paul...such an interesting lesson...I really liked the 'Robin Hood's Bay' painting and a big THANK YOU, for taking the time to produce such a long tutorial just before you went away!!! PS I hope you and Margot have lots of fun and sunshine at La Gomera!

Greetings from America. Thank you so much for sharing your gift. I really enjoy watching you paint and share your techniques. I’m completely new to art. I don’t have stable hands to do real canvas. I use digital, which isn’t as difficult but I miss the texture of real canvas. I do love your art. It is so beautiful. 😊

Thank you Mr. Clark your painting still are amazing. I've been praying for you I thought I heard you refer to your wife as your late wife. I'm sorry for your loss and pray God will help you to carry on your wonderful career! Again thank you!!!

Hi Paul… absolutely LOV this illustrative, flat wash/travel poster style … been thinking of trying this out so this video helped me understand the technique… thanks for explaining gouache.. never really used it much but now understanding it better. Have a wonderful time in La Gomera… excited to see what photos/subject matter u bring back… 👍

Thank you Paul. Loved seeing all the different looks you can get with gouache. I am considering crossing over to the "dark side" and trying out oil painting. LOL! This was so fun to see. Hope you are enjoying your trip. Love seeing the pictures from there. Thanks again!

You are an amazing artist, I really love the last one, but they are all fabulous.

I hope you are having fun right at this moment. I received a box of Holbein gouache for xmas!!! Haven't opened them, yet. Now, I can get started. Thanks so much!

That was an awesome set of tutorials! Thank you…Safe travels!

Thanks a lot! The last one is my favourite ❤

Love this! I have gouache I’ve never used. Love them all but especially the vintage travel poster art! Thank you!

Dankeschön!!! Ich liebe Aquarellfarben und habe neulich Gouache für mich entdeckt. Ich bin begeistert von dem Video und werde üben, üben, üben!

I was looking forward very much to see what your choice of liquid refreshment would be. What will Mr. C. compliment his apparel with today, I wondered! You never had one and this is wet February with not so much of a drop of Adam's Ale! You must be feeling dehydrated after all that work. XXX

Fantastic especially the approach to the poster artwork! It's simplicity is a wonderful lesson in less is more and dealing with basic shapes. This was also a lot of fun to watch!

Just ordered a set of gouache primaries after watching your tutorial. Looking forward to trying the out. Will probably use with the watercolours too.

Beautiful. Loved them all, but the last one was simply amazing!! Hope you continue to do more of these, and hope you guys are enjoying your trip. As always, thank you so much for sharing your talent❤

Love this tutorial. I’m a graphic artist and also love the old promotional posters. I’ll give this a go!

WOW!! Triple WOW!! Thank you for doing this!! Sent to one of my daughters who is looking to work in gouache! Awesome tutorials! Have an incredible time on your trip!

Oh no, I've crossed over to the dark side! 😱 I love dabbling in and exploring all art mediums. Lovely to see the shout out to Sarah Burns, another great and very talented artist youtuber. Thanks to you both for teaching us so much 🙂 Great tutorial Paul, showing us various ways gouache can be used. It really is a very versatile medium. Loved the river scene 😍

Have a lovely break we'll deserved after all those lovely studies! Thankyou and Happy Travels! XXX

Thank you , really enjoyed these paintings.

All lovely paintings Paul. I love watercolor so much that I don't even want to try other types of medium. But it was inspiring to watch you paint such different types of paintings using gouache. I was wondering if you would please paint the third one, Robin Hood's Bay again using watercolor instead. I think it would make for a wonderful watercolor tutorial. Please?!!! Thanks for brightening our days with your tutorials. 😊 I hope you and Margo and crew are enjoying your time in La Gomera.

Always a good lesson and well explained. Thank you.

Enjoy all your tutorials Paul no wonder you have such a huge following thanks for passing on your knowledge and techniques it makes a huge difference to my own work and I am sure it is inspirational to many others

Really enjoyed this one. Thank you. Particularly looking forward to trying number 3 - particulars it is Robin Hood’s Bay - a popular place for artists and somewhere I love to visit.

Oh my goodness, I absolutely loved watching this. I have recently gotten back into painting after a bad year and bought myself a gouache set, and this has just completely inspired me so much, thank you. I loved all 3 pieces but think I have love the 1st and 3rd most

Thank you so much for this one, these paintings are incredible! I was recently gifted a beautiful box of gouache, but I'm years out of practice and it felt like I was fighting with glue. It was discouraging, but your tutorials inspire me to keep trying and practicing with different techniques. Thank you for helping me pick up my brushes again!

Superb !! Thank you so much.. never fails to bring a smile to my face watching you paint !

So glad you did a gouache (well 3) tutorials! I love them, especially the last one, it is so inspiring! 🤩

Absolutely love what you did with the gouache. That first painting was moody in a solitary way, wonderful.

Thank you, will try them. Have a great trip!

Wonderful video! Wonderful paintings! Thank you Paul❤

can't wait to see the pics from the trip!

Hope you had an amazing time. Thank you so so much for doing a full gouache tutorial. Number 3 is completely up my street ( pun intended!) How do you decide whether to do an under painting or not ?

Hello Paul, de belles peintures encore😍. Merci. Passez un bon séjour à La Gomera et revenez nous vite avec de belles idées.☀️🤗

You are a true artist. I love copying your tutorials. I’ve been posting them on the beginner watercolor groups on Facebook.

So enjoyable and relaxing to view. Thank you so much. I had a calendar of old seaside railway posters that I was going to paint - wish I could find where I put it!!

Dear Paul, this was amazing. All three of these paintings were amazing! I’m definitely going to want to try this as soon as I’m better. Recovering from shoulder surgery & don’t have full use of my right arm yet. 😊

OMG Paul this is so incredibly timey. I love your watercolour tutorials and recently I've been painting more and more with gouache. Excited to get deeper into it with your video!

Wow this is so helpful! I wish I could post my photo, I'm new at gouache and I feel so proud of myself! Watching you paint is so inspiring and informative!!!

This was lovely to watch. It was amazing to see different ways of using gouache paint. I had no idea. Thank you for taking the time to do this video.

Superb tutorial on gouache never heard of it until started to watch your excellent videos. Get an agent and get on terrestial TV. Youre an expert and deserve to be out there for Joe Public. Brilliant Paul.😃

PS Thanks so much for taking your time to give this wonderful tutorial. Hope you enjoy the sunshine and get alot of D3

Lucky you in La Gomera , although it is a nice bright day here in North Yorkshire just up the coast from Bay as it is referred to around here . These were great and have given me inspiration to dig my gouache paints out from the back of the cupboard , thanks Paul 👍

Very very beautiful painting

What a delight this one was... especially love the last one... 😍 I think the gouache will be going on a few seaside trips this year! Wonderful as to how versatile the medium is. I will definitely be giving this a go!

I’ve always wanted to try gouache, and just came across this one … all three are lovely, depicting different methods. Thank you very much!

You are an expert painter in all three mediums….always liked the rail posters but didn’t realize they were done in gouache..the flat wash gives such a different look..the opening graphics of All Creature Great & Small has been illustrated in the same way….

Thank you for teaching me about Gouache w/c paints. I never knew they existed!!! But I am so excited because it gives me an entirely new way of painting!!! I appreciate, so much, your knowledge!!!!!

Thank you!!! I really appreciate that you showed how versatile gouache can be. Hope your getaway was amazing!

Great. Will definitely give these s go!

So beauiful and enjoy your trip.
