Ohhh fabulous! I’m illustrating a cover this week for a children’s book illustration class. The story is set at night in a forest and I’ll have the moon glowing on the cover. This will help so much, I was getting nervous about the execution of it all!
I would love to see more gouache tips, ideas and paintings. I am new to consistent art creation, and am loving gouache. Your tips were very helpful to clean up some of the issues I am having. I'm using it with too much water and need to paint thicker. Thank you, as always, for your insight.
Heureuse que nos chemins se soient croisés belle âme . Je découvre la gouache depuis peu et je suis sous le charme en regardant des personnes comme toi . Merci 🙏
I just ordered your book - I have a feeling I am going to LOVE IT after seeing this video. Thanks! I'm only bummed that I didn't see your channel before you released the book, because I would have pre-ordered. A workbook would have been such a big help for me, as gouache is a challenge, but I do love it.
Merci! Votre travail est magnifique et je viens de m'offrir votre leçon sur Domestika. Un pur bonheur et j'adore votre voix douce et votre imaginaire. Je me retrouve en totalement dans votre cheminement artistique. Merci 😉
Hello! I am a beginner and I have a hard time controlling my brush and I often put too much pressure and it ruins my paintings. Do you have any tips how to practice brush control?
I've not used guouche yet but a beginner set is on the way. Something I'm confused by is whether or not guouche is able to be layered. Like obviously you just did it, but how do you not reactive the layer underneath?
Hey Heather! Yes- absolutely gouache can be layered! It takes a little practice to get used to layering without reactivating the layer underneath, but letting the paint dry fully between the layers helps hugely! The more you paint, the easier it gets! Happy painting! 💕
I just can’t wait for this magical tutorial of yours to try😍✨.. Why does my first dried layer of gouache comes off paper when i apply second wet layer on it and eventually paper started showing☹️
You might be using a little too much water in your second layer- also, try to apply the paint of the second layer in as few brush strokes as possible to avoid moving the paint underneath! 💕
This is lovely! I just purchased your Domestika class. Do you let each layer dry completely before adding anything else? I think this is my biggest challenge with gouache; I tend to want to work wet on wet and it just doesn't work. I keep ending up with a mess. :D I suppose I need more patience.
Hey Kathy! Yes, let each layer dry before adding the next layer- it definitely takes a little practice to avoid reactivating the layers underneath, but letting the paint dry fully helps immensely! Happy painting! 💕
If I pre-order on Amazon will the special offer still be available through Amazon? I just purchased your Domestika course & I can't wait to try ... lol you had me most definitely at the word MAGICAL... I was thinking I wanted a proper guide with gouache and this just seems amazing since the style is exactly how I would like to portray gouache but my magical aspect would be MERMAIDS 🧜🏼♀️ & OFCOURSE THE MAGICAL LANDSCAPE ✨ I would like very much to pre-order your book on Amazon it would be awesome to get the bonus content as well. HOW DOES IT WORK 🤔 IS IT DIGITAL CONTENT OR A PHYSICAL BOOKLET? Thank you keep safe & takecare as well 😷🌈
Hi! You can preorder the book from anywhere it is available- just send me a copy of the order confirmation (you can message me through the Domestika course or Instagram) and I’ll send the link to the preorder bonus goodies to your email! There is an ebook you can download and the replay of a live class- so lots of things to keep you busy before your book is delivered! 💕
@@RuthWilshaw Thank you for the information I will certainly try to get that confirmed tonight or on the 30th November 2021. I'm not too good with the Domestika app so I may not know how to contact the teacher. I'll just email you through the website email link. Thank you soooooooooo much. 🖌🎨
Hi! That would depend on what you’re most interested in painting- the 1 hour landscape book is more about painting realistic landscapes, whereas in the Patreon group we do a bit of everything! You can look through all the projects available on Patreon on my website to see if there’s ones you would like to paint- just scroll down and you can click on each month to see the projects we did for that theme! moderngouache.com/patreon shoot me a message if you have any questions! 💕
