Today I want to share my full process for going outside to make color notes. Training my eye to see color and mix what I see is an extremely important part of my learning process. I'll be using gouache in my small sketchbook to show you what I do to learn how to mix color on location. This method can be used for any subject and with any type of paint.

I hope Scotland tourism is paying you for the videos. Videos like this really make me want to travel there.

Thank you for actually explaining colour notes. I’ve seen artists do this before but never really understood what they were doing.

When you said “it’s not about getting it right the first time.. that’s really rare “boy isn’t that the truth ha ha. I wanted to make this one of my first paintings with gouache. I finally bought some ShinHan Gouache, and it’s so much better to work with the other stuff that I’ve had …so I’m pleased …and I had fun …and that’s the main thing. Plus…I certainly learned a lot, I can tell you that…so thank you for doing these videos. They’re so very helpful.

I’m very new to painting and trying to understand colour is a huge challenge. This video is an amazing help! I was having trouble seeing the blue in the shadows until you staring painting with a blue and then it just jumped out at me. So cool. Thank you 😊

@SarahBurnsStudio 2 года назад

There’s the added challenge of painting the effects of light/atmosphere - which throughout history was often represented by blue. Until the early impressionists started doing that, it wasn’t really common, and then suddenly, paintings look so atmospheric! Look at John Singer Sargent’s work…incredible understanding of light in the landscape

@jojojo8835 2 года назад

Once when I was in a field to paint a sunset (so very warm yellow light), I put my open white paper sketchbook on the ground next to me while I was getting my flask of tea, and noticed the cast shadows from taller blades of grass looked bright bluey-purple on the white paper. The colour was such a surprise I reached for a matching coloured pencil and just traced and coloured in the image. It’s one of my favourite pages and a really memorable colour lesson learned.

@ThatLazyStray 2 года назад

Even though we paint different subjects, i find your information on water control and colours super informative and helpful. I still suck at gouache, im a much better watercolourist, but every time i watch these video's it inspires to pick up the palette and try again. I've even dabbled in some landscapes now, just to try something new! Point being, yes, this video was super helpful and i would love more on your colour noting process, including all the blunders.

@SarahBurnsStudio 2 года назад

That’s great to hear! I think this method works great for any subject and any paint medium. I hope you stay inspired 😄

@noellesercer9978 Год назад

I actually love how yellow the sand is in the first painting. You’ve most likely already realized this but beyond the context of being right there on the beach, it really is an appealing palette because of the relationship of the complimentary colors yellow and purple at a wide contrast in value. I celebrate your accomplish and appreciate your content!

This is a great lesson. I am a watercolor painter but can see that these tips will definitely help. Painting outside is a real challenge!

@claritzairosario68 Месяц назад

Very interesting! You are right! Painting directly on the sun, can be disturbing the colors! OMG! That's why you love to paint on toned paper....

@nancyrolfe3033 5 месяцев назад

I’ve just began watching your videos and I’m here to tell you that you have given me most useful and valuable information and insight into understanding how important it is to REALLY understand the colors and all that they do with the other colors on my palette!!! So many times it’s just been about lots and lots of beautiful paints…. I’ve been so confused and with quite a bit less money in my wallet 😂😂 I’m sick RU-vid doesn’t put everyone videos on a feed immediately and let US decide?!? Just extremely grateful for your help ❤

@simplelife9020 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for this vid! Mixing color is so challenging for beginners like myself and this vid was very informative. Eventhough they were studies they look beautiful and the colors are so harmonious with each other!

@andrecardon2141 2 года назад

One of the greatest pleasure of gouache or wc is to paint outside. Tku to realize a plein air vid.

@jenniFaux1 2 года назад

I love these color studies!! I tend to get too dull with my colors when I'm trying to "match" something. I love the way paintings look when I exaggerate the colors that I see! I love to see the varieties of colors you end up using!! Beautiful!

@mildredmickle4434 Год назад

Sarah Burns, thank you for sharing your process of learning. My teacher said gouache is difficult, and I see why. She also keeps telling me to do color studies like you did in this video. However, what resonates the most for me from this video is your advice to just try stuff out and see what works because that is the best advice to learn. :-)

@SarahBurnsStudio Год назад

That’s exactly how I learned (and still do!)

@michemman 2 года назад

Dear Sarah, Quick little fact; We have yellow sunlight and purply blue shadows. If we had a red light source, we would have greenish shadows. It always is the complimentary! In kindred spirit, Eliza Australia Sat 4th of June 2022 10:55am

@SarahBurnsStudio 2 года назад

Fascinating! Where did you hear that?

@michemman 2 года назад

@@SarahBurnsStudio I was told it years ago, in colour classes by a lecturer. It is useful to know if you go to Mars, (my novel lol is set there,) orfor reflections and shadows of red light/green light intersections.....during a wet or dark evening perhaps?

@MeanColleen 2 года назад

Yes please! I have been inspired by you to not only paint with gouache, but to plein air as well. I am slowly gathering supplies to be able to accomplish this. You are a wonderful and talented teacher, in addition to being a very talented and skilled artist. I just happened to stumble upon your channel while I was looking for tips on painting with gouache, and there you were. Slowly getting caught up with your videos, primarily focusing on gouache but will watch your watercolor videos as well just because that is something too that I have just tried to get over the scary feeling and paint.

@SarahBurnsStudio 2 года назад

Hello and welcome! I kind of go through phases of working with different mediums 😄 I love pretty much all of them. But gouache seems the most versatile and I just cant get enough of it right now!

@MeanColleen 2 года назад

@@SarahBurnsStudio I forgot to ask you, but is this the palate you use when you plein air paint? Or does it depend on what subjects you are going to be painting? Thank you so much, you have been my inspiration to go outside once it stops raining and start painting.

@SarahBurnsStudio 2 года назад

@@MeanColleen Yes, this little gouache palette is what I use for 90% of my gouache plein air. The rest of the time I use my slightly larger Guerilla Painter 6x8 Thumbox.

I loved this so much!! You are so talented with your art that it is nice to see your "practice" notes. When you see your art without these notes, etc., it seems as if you just painted it and it was perfect.

@TheInappropriateArtist 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing the reality! I admit I paint mostly in my van with the doors open so my environment is quite controlled because of that. I struggle with wind it is my frenemy keeping me cool yet getting sand and dirt and leaves in my paint. I cringed in pain when I saw that sand on the top of your palate. All I could think after that was how is she going to clean that!? You inspire me ❤️💝

@SarahBurnsStudio 2 года назад

Sounds like you have a great setup being able to paint from the van! I would love to do that someday. With my palette, I ended up spraying it with water, then wiping as much off as possible with my paper towel, and it worked pretty well (admittedly there are still some grains in there and probably always will be!)
