Gouache painting OUTSIDE as a beginner

[@gingerbuchanan2795]

I think this is the first video I saw of yours...and it's still one of my favorites. Totally captures the essence of the experience. I appreciate all that you've done and are still doing. Keep painting the world beautiful!

[@bethcrane5780]

Hi Sarah, I really dig the cliffs, stones and water. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@franswey2]

One possibility is to take a photo of the screen and show it on the screen. It is so much fun watching you paint along with your commentary, including the dive bombing bug! 🤭 The background noise was entertaining. You rocky out crop and water was great, as was your Mountain View. Thank you for sharing and letting me go with you on your adventure. Fran

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Yes, taking a photo is a great idea. This was long ago as I was beginning my journey 😅

[@franswey2]

I’m new to your channel and I’m so glad I found you! I’ll be more aware of the dates 🫣. I like to go back and catch up what I’ve missed. I’m retired and enjoying what I always wanted to do, be an artist. I did Pen & Ink, on the side and loved it. I’m working with color now, Derwent Inktense, my favorite. And Caran d’Ache neocolor ii, so much fun. Have a great weekend! Fran

[@Cobaltblueprism]

That second spot you chose with the rock formations is so amazing. I enjoyed your sense of humor.

[@wucherwildlings]

Your feelings on the "kids" is so relatable 😅🤣 thanks for another fun video to watch!

[@bluewren65]

So interesting to see this older video. Your painting has developed so much in the last few years. Your brush strokes are more confident and deliberate and your mark making vocabulary has really expanded. Your use of colour is much more individual and experimental and you have really developed your eye for composition. It's also good to see that you didn't emerge from the womb creating gorgeous cinematic videos replete with drone footage and meticulous editing 😂.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

I often think about deleting my old videos because they make me cringe so bad 🤣 but I keep them up for exactly that reason

[@selarason]

I’m glad you haven’t deleted them! They’re really inspiring and realistic

[@AshB_Watercolors]

I love looking at this older video…. As I have found you recently and I love to gage your development. It’s a Beautiful thing! Never delete these! Beautiful!

[@EWats-gz6mk]

Thank you so much for sharing your process with us! I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos!

[@aylinbegum5744]

Dear Sarah it is interesting to see this video 3 years later. Obviously, at the present time you improve with gouache. But skills were there and you keep on. You encourage me a lot to go on. We have in common loving gouache, nature, forest, falls and river. I am especially fascinating with rocks, I can't really explain how they so much attract me !

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Me too! I love rocks...i have hundreds of photos of them...just because 😆

[@louisapdjones]

The warm up sketch is wonderful. I learned a lot watching and hearing your comentary.

[@louisapdjones]

The second painting was even better. I like the way you captured enough features of thr rock face to dentify it as that particular outcropping. Thanks for another fun session. I enjoyed the longer format.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Wow you are really digging into the archive! 😃

[@melissaamyx2196]

Watching you paint is totally ASMR stuff! And one of my favorite sounds is hearing tubes of paint rattling around on a hard surface lol! 🤣😂🤣

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

I feel you! I love real time painting videos for that reason.

[@colleenmcchesney1482]

Wow both of these pages are beautiful & detailed so wonderfully. I really enjoyed watching how you put in the reflections by the rocks. Definitely learned a lot from watching your progress and process for each sketch/painting. The background noise was fun & not a bother. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Ahh you found the oldie!

[@mariejohansson3581]

Woow, really love the way you re painting..

[@andreamarshall3356]

awesome

[@margaretgonzalez9350]

i hope you continue with the gouache sarah, you're a very good artist...enjoy all your vids.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Thank you so much! I have to admit, I absolutely LOVE gouache!!

[@Erginartesia]

That was fun to watch and thank you for. Sharing! It's nice to see gouache painting in action.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Ergin Artesia thanks very much!

[@nattyw495]

👩‍🎨🎨😷nice process...

[@tracycurry5724]

I know this is an old video but I loved it... Loved both the paintings but those rock cliffs especially were beautiful 😍

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

This video feels ancient by now! But I feel it’s good to have these old videos to compare to

[@heatheralbanese7919]

You live in a beautiful area...

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

That was many years ago but yes it was lovely!

[@noramagaly]

Beautiful

[@AlpayBeler]

Lovely work, Sarah. Really enjoyed watching your creative process. Thank you for sharing.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Thank you very much :D

[@tussah8874]

Thanks for taking us with you painting at St. Mary's Glacier. Years ago, I visited my friend up there at her summer cabin. On the drive up, I developed the most horrible case of hives, and all I can remember about the trip is how itchy and miserable I felt. I didn't realize that gouache needs to be kept soft. Your tip for squeezing it out on a damp paper towel is great. I really like watching you work with it, but I think you have to be pretty dedicated to carry all those tubes with you. Will you be going out again this month? I'm an avid mushroom hunter, and would love to see you find and paint some mushrooms. That's what I'm hoping to be able to do at the end of this month around Wolf Creek Pass in southern Colorado.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Tussah oh wow that sounds awful! I'm sorry you suffered. I'm not sure when I'll be able to get back into the mountains though - this time of year is so busy! Regarding the tubes- yes it was a commitment, and this was definitely overkill haha. You can take a couple tubes and a smaller palette and be fine.

[@TheInappropriateArtist]

I freakin' love you! The reality of the malicious mosquito and yes it is just one that is going for the jugular 🤣. At first I thought you were in Scotland and I was like WOW I didn't realize how many mountains there were. Yeah I can be slow. Nugget is watching with me and keeps swatting at your brush. I think she is waiting for a Vader appearance 😻

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

This was long before I met my sweet boy!

T tree oil or Eucalyptus oil are great to ward off pesky bugs

[@pinsel_und_farbe_nails]

I'm really surprised that your old videos are quite good quality.. i mean drone shots and the way you're cutting your videos nowadays have improved but i also enjoy the simpler version. Interresting to see how your art style has developed as well. It seems to me that back then your style came more from using water color than gouache. Now you seem to block in the shapes with more opaque colours and come back for details later vs back then doing more details right from the beginning. Aside from mixing colours much different, though. When i watch your older videos they give me more confidence that i can pull off learning gouache, too 😂

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

I cringe so hard at my old videos lol...but I keep them up so people can see progress happens over time with dedication to your craft. It doesn't happen over night. I hope it continues to inspire people who are new to painting!

[@pinsel_und_farbe_nails]

@@SarahBurnsStudio it's probably normal to bei critical with yourself more than with others. I think your artistic Skill with painting and filming even then was okay. I most of the time like KZbin for what it was meant to be.. real people showing what they do and telling others their honest opinion. I quite like the unfiltered stuff even if it means it's not always highly polished. And i think what you said about tackeling your drawing still applies today even if your art hast evolved.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

@@pinsel_und_farbe_nails It's funny now that I think about it, back then I didn't overly edit my videos because I didn't know how. Then for a few years I got super excited about editing. Not that I do any crazy effects or anything, but you can kinda get sucked into that side of things. And more recently, I feel like going back to more raw footage. Just sharing the journey. Keeping things down to earth. I guess we all just have to go through things to know if it will suit us

[@pinsel_und_farbe_nails]

@@SarahBurnsStudio yeah i think the way of cutting and editing also depends on what you have to say and what you want to show and also the audience you're having. I think for art related videos people will accept a more laid back approach as long as you can get something out of it. At least i see it that way.. but maybe it's also because i'm not generation tiktok 😂

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

@@pinsel_und_farbe_nails oh god don't get me started on tiktok 😂 yikes

[@AGreen-ug9oi]

You are great. Thank you.

[@2112Dahlia]

I enjoyed this video sooo much, background noise and all. Your sketches are amazing. Painting nature is always such a challenge for me mostly giving the feel of distance and different planes but you just do it so easily. Thanks for sharing

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

2112Dahlia thank you so much! It only comes with practice as you know 😉

[@Starlightbooper]

I liked the second one more😄(guess it's because u did a warm up before it), both were beautiful!👍

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

A warm up is always a great idea :D

[@noreenlatimer8193]

Stunning.

[@jojoquinn2]

Stunning!

[@tonihulick1886]

I am a watercolorist getting ready to make a splash in the gouache pond. Love your videos! Can you share what brushes you use? Heading off to the art store this weekend. Ordered my paint but prefer to look at and feel the brushes. Thanks!!!

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

I think you will love it! For gouache I use flat brushes, just the cheap ones like Daler Rowney "flat wash" in different sizes. Nowadays I prefer to paint most of my pieces with a single brush like a 1"

[@veronicagreen6180]

Love watching you paint, amazing paintings!,, thank you ,, ,what brand of gouache do you used?

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Veronica Green Thank you! I use Holbein

[@graciousmom4127]

Hey am your new fan here... I love all ypur works... Luckily found a great gouache tutorial esp. in landscapes... I wonder how you film this, without holding your cam.... Can u share? 😊🤔😚

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Thanks! This was a gopro

[@graciousmom4127]

Am still awake hooked up watchin your other tutorial videos! Am learning a lot, thank you... 😊😘

[@ronporter3885]

Love your videos. What palette is that your tubes are in? Also do you carry your tubes in the palette.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

A loooooooooooot has changed since this video! I don't take tubes out with me anymore. The palette in this video is Mijello watercolor palette that I removed the internernal tray.

[@monicastella9149]

Put some natural eucalyptus oil with water in small squirt bottle and spray it around where you will sit; mosquitoes and ticks hate eucalyptus.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Oh good idea!

[@lucelaliberte2537]

I discovered your channel few days ago, and I love watching your gouache painting videos ! I liked the fact, in this one that it is almost as if we were sitting right next to you. Thanks for sharing your painting process. I have a question about your gears. Have you made your brush case? I was thinking of making one for myself, and then I saw yours ! I do have placemats that are looking very similar to your brush holder. I am trying to figure out how to put the elastic band properly. ;¬)

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Thank you! I bought my brush roll at an art store.

[@karenowen7854]

What great composure to stop hiking & just put your camera to work (I assume attached to your head) & start painting! May I ask what you used to attach the camera to your head & what version camera or iPhone did you use? That's a beautiful spot you chose. Too bad you couldn't stop the inner dialogue as it would have been more peaceful but then again with all the youths across the lake maybe not.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

karen owen I use a go pro attached to a chest mount. A little tricky to get used to but it does the job!

[@andreamarshall3356]

how about citronella or sandalwood incense it 's easier

[@colorfulruth4980]

Do you like the tube gouache over your pan set that you have used in the past on streams?

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

After trying both, I believe liquid gouache to be far superior to pan gouache. I could never get the pan gouache quite as saturated as I want. It felt more like painting with watercolors that are slightly opaque. But with liquid gouache I can get thick luscious layers!

[@MelTheDestroya]

“I’ve only done a handful of gouache paintings so far”…..lol…4 years later.

[@francinetjones1814]

what is the name of the palette you carried the gouache in?

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

This is a Martin Mijello Airtight Leak Proof Fusian Watercolor 33-Well Palette

[@andreamarshall3356]

Come to Australia and play with the snakes and croc's only joking it's something I would never do I live in a dangerous but beautiful country.

Hi just starting out in painting That's a bit of a pain you you just find a nice spot and it then ruined by someone

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Part of Plein air is adapting! Since it was a huge place, it's easy for people to disperse. Patience is key.

[@maureencoles9914]

Why a sketchbook and paper?

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Why not?

[@michep.169]

it is beautiful and what I like it is you don’t try to paint exactly as we see the landscape. You are more creative.

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

I get so frustrated when I go to a quiet place to enjoy nature and people are making noise. I understand they have the right to be there, too, but for someone like me who is absolutely desperate to go somewhere peaceful, it’s extremely damaging to my mental health to be unable to find ANYWHERE that is truly quiet anymore. It’s always chainsaws, screaming, dogs barking, cars, motorcycles, children, etc. The people playing music near you brought back all that frustration I feel every time we go to the lake or mountains and people come sit right beside us and start being loud. There’s 500 bazillion miles of woods all around and people just have to choose the spot we choose every time! 😂😢

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

You must be an energy magnet!
