[@rattytwoshoes]

Me too! My paints are on their way now! Very inspirational video! Thanks

[@joybarker7906]

This is my first time watching your videos, and I LOVE this Gouache!! I was discouraged from doing anything artistic or creative as a kid, but I have always LOVED ART! Now in my 50's I am just now learning that I can do some of these things that I love to look at so much! Can't wait to take your Gouache class, it will be my first painting class & I'm sooo excited! ♡

[@VisualMind]

You can do it! 😊

[@user-gg9jy1oi2n]

This brought me so much joy to read 🤗 I hope you’re doing well & are still on your art journey ❤️

Thank you! :)

[@inapickle806]

First time watcher. I just bought some gouache and wanted an idea. I saw your paintings and thought, that's it! I'm very happy with how it came out. Thank you!

[@VisualMind]

Welcome to my channel, I'm glad you had a good time with this one 😊

[@KateHolloman]

This is excellent and so beautiful! I have always been intrigued by sketchbooks, especially such lovely ones. I need to give it a try ones, but I know I will need the right sketchbook as well.

[@VisualMind]

Thank you! Just pick one and get started :)

[@mariannemcginnis7274]

It doesn't have to be "right", just grab anything and start making art.

[@tastelesssprinkles1601]

Gouche gives a digital feel on paper. Pretty cool.

[@VisualMind]

Yes!! :D

[@missjameequilts]

i love your style, and that pallet is adorable!

[@VisualMind]

Thank you :)

[@Shpoopdoop]

Y'know, you're officially my favourite artist on KZbin. I'm the type of person who's extra careful when i paint. If i make a mistake, i tend to panic. However, you have shown me that blunders can occur and i should worry less.

[@VisualMind]

I'm so happy to hear that!! 😊

[@kayelanuza3107]

This is so amazing, I'm so glad I can help you in that way! 😊 And congrats on two years!! 🎉

[@ryuray1677]

I will be making these and plan on gifting them as message cards to friends and family. I just bought a gouache paint set and I am a total beginner, so these simple tutorials are great inspiration thanks a lot :)

[@albaypuntos]

Thank you for this video, I’m trying to learn how to use guache properly and this is one of the most helpful videos I’ve found❤ Looking forward to have some free time and practice painting these beautiful landscapes 🥰

[@fiona1269]

Thank you for your lovely gouache paintings and techniques.

[@sydneytalks4254]

I think what I struggle with most is getting the consistency right. It does come out watercolor-y and i guess I’m just so afraid of using too much paint and wasting it lol. Also YOURE A LEFTY WOOOO!!!

[@VisualMind]

It's all a matter of practice! Check out my Skillshare course that's linked in the description, I talk about consistency in it :)

[@eastendcrafter19]

I love the depth that you create with the layers!

[@VisualMind]

Thank you :)

[@gal69lag]

Thank you for explaining your process 😭😭😭 it so important for self learning beginners. As someone who likes watercolors, I'm constantly confused about how much water to mix with gouache and always end up with either TOO much water or too little water. So thanks for explaining that! Subscribed :) will try and sign up for your class once I feel a bit regular with my practice.

[@NoeticNotary-sx1ec]

I tried these pages a couple years ago! I am going to get them once again. Thank you ❤

[@divijaagarwal4266]

I've been painting with gouache for almost an year now, and I love the medium (even though it is a little tough to work with at first, considering how different it is from watercolor - which I'm more familiar with) and I loved your tutorial!

[@anniya12345]

You are few of the gems in KZbin, finding gems like you is difficult, this is really inspiring, I will try to do like yours cause it’s actually so beautiful and you have beautifully explained it

[@VisualMind]

Thank you! 😊

Painted the leaves on the left the other day. It turned out great using gouache paint.😊

Simple and beautiful

[@VisualMind]

Thank you so much 😊

[@clever_grill]

This was a great tutorial! I'm a complete beginner so it's helpful to have simple ideas like these to start with. I've started using acrylic for black backgrounds, just so I don't have to deal with the extreme reactivation of black mixing in with everything.

[@VisualMind]

You're welcome! Does gouache work on top of acrylics for you? I haven't had much success with that 😅

[@clever_grill]

@@VisualMind It looked okay the first day, but now it looks like the gouache is cracking on the paper 🙃 Maybe not a long-term solution after all :D

[@beadmomma4]

Really lovely. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@carpiopatrisha5906]

Hi! I love your work and I’ll be adding your shared artwork as my inspiration in my art journal! I used gouache for about 2 months. I have to say that it is a medium that i wouldn’t take lightly because of how messy it can get once it gets reactivated as you add on layers. I was at the peak of cursing and regretting on buying it, but since i don’t like it getting wasted i used and used it until i eventually got the hang of it. Now i use gouache as a highlight or if i want to create a piece that’s kinda digital like. Gouache isn’t going to be a walk in the park, it would take a lot miles before you can get used to it and of course with proper guidance like this video!

[@VisualMind]

I totally agree! After a while you learn to use the fact that it's water soluble to your advantage. There is acrylic gouache though as well and I recently bought a small set - I'm very excited to try it! Water soluble gouache is probably best used for pieces with lots of blending. I love painting clouds with it! :D

[@sandracardenas637]

beautiful work!!!

Sent this vid to my friend on the Voicely app. Learning to draw together. I hope it turns out great too.
