Gouache Sketchbook Painting Time Lapse - Flowers in Sunlight

[@aprilsdesk168]

I really like using gouache more than any other medium, but i do find that my end results are a bit muddy. I'm amazed by the amount of luminosity you are able to achieve. That's something i've never seen before. Really great.

This painting makes my heart so happy!! Thank you for sharing!!

[@coopergurl90]

You have a way with color! So lovely!

[@RaymondOreFineArt]

I agree, the colours are amazing

[@LenaRivo]

Thank you Khara and Raymond! I am glad you liked the painting. I love to paint flowers!

[@johntartaglia2672]

How sweet is this!

[@JontieDesario]

Great video, wonderful painting. Thanks for sharing!

[@sherrierichard2848]

A color explosion!! Watching you change different passages again and again was hard to follow with the speed of the time lapse...I couldn’t keep up, but it was a real learning experience. Thank you!

[@DecompressArt]

Fantastic loose style! I love how you simplify things.

[@lynkosmer3813]

Love seeing your process - love how you change your mind on colour, go over things, work it through. It’s a great way of showing how not to take the painting too seriously and let it develop as you go. Very inspiring!

[@LenaRivo]

Thank you, Lyn! That´s true. When I start painting I usually have no idea how the painting will look in the end. I just paint and see what works and what doesn't work.

[@susannaartist9447]

You pulled it out at the end... beautiful execution. I get it... purposeful yet whimsical.

[@JessicaCinNY]

This is so beautiful! The colors are just amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@megbaker3323]

Beautiful! My favorite part is when you peel off the tape to reveal the finished edges. It's oddly satisfying.

[@LenaRivo]

Thank you, Meg! I know, I always wait for that moment too :D

[@SuzanneAllardDesign]

Thanks so much for sharing Lena, such a pleasure to watch you create this!

[@kanamichelle7404]

I am totally in love with this little painting! My favorite of yours so far, and pretty much my favorite of anyone’s ever. It makes me so HAPPY to look at it. Watching you paint is such a treat!

[@deejaytori]

I love how the 3-dimensionality of the bouquet emerges in the second half!

[@mariawalker8403]

I already love gouache but you’ve made me love it so much more!

[@LenaRivo]

Thank you, Maria! I am glad to hear that!

[@lommenvanhagen3340]

I really enjoy your qouache painting time lapses. You did a great job with this piece.

[@LilyDuVeauLilysMix]

Beautiful great choice of music too!

[@evangelinepoe8952]

Just found your channel today. This was wonderful to watch. I think I understand gouache better. I'd always heard it was like watercolor, but you painted this differently from how you would paint wc. I don't have much experience with wc either, but I have played with it. Thank you for sharing your process. Can't wait to see your other videos.

[@lou-xr5rz]

God. So beautiful. It's like your fingers are made of magic.

[@LenaRivo]

lou This is the sweetest compliment I have ever received :D Thank you!

[@facom40]

Congratulations Lena, it's very beautiful !

[@MeganCartyArt]

Beautiful color choices! This one came out great! It easily could have been muddied. Lovely!

[@o8rufus]

Your work is amazing, you are so talented.

[@merrittwatson7086]

[@ArtinArtOfficial]

Great job! i like the color of shadow, thumbs up!!!. Thanks for sharing!

[@ArtWorkOfDR]

so lovely i love come it comes together to make such a lovely piece

[@Lauragld]

Lena I love watching you paint...a constant inspiration of fresh clean lovely marks. Would you consider shooting one of you videos with a camera on your pallet and paintings so we can see the whole process :) thanks again :)

[@LenaRivo]

Laura, thank you! I will try. I already have been thinking on it for a while trying to figure out how to shoot my palette and keep it possible for me to paint :D It is technically not easy.. But I promise I will make at least one video with my palette included in the frame. Until then you could check my "en plein air" videos as in some of them my oil palette is seen very well. I mix my colors the same way with any media - oil, acrylics and gouache.

[@Lauragld]

thanks for your reply Lena....I imagine it is more complicated....some artists do it with a split screen or go pro head camera...but this is all more expensive and complicated. All of this sort of messes with the simple joy of painting :) Pallette or not I love your work :)

[@LenaRivo]

Laura Gould it messes with the simple joy of painting. That’s for sure 😄 But I will make at least one video with my palette included as it will help you and many others understand how I use the medium. Gouache is really a bit tricky to use. I think many people have trouble in handling it because they think of it as thicker watercolor while I approach it like oil or acrylics.

[@htmljaconda]

Beautiful!!!!

[@VazP-qn8jo]

Very inspiring thank you!!

[@Charlesredporsche]

luscious color - would be nice to see subject too

[@rashidhussain8630]

[@Matthew_Ren]

How beautiful! What music is playing?

[@LenaRivo]

Матвей Соловьев thanks! I don’t know the names of the tracks. The music is from Epidemic Sound ;)

[@andreatorraca8755]

Love your style

[@squishyfuncharms123]

beautifully done

[@hisdaughter2354]

Beautiful. Would love to know if you mixed any of the colors or were they all individual?

[@LenaRivo]

Cindy Kanakriyeh thank you, Cindy! I always mix the exact colors I need. I rarely use colors directly from the tubes. You can learn about my color palette from the pdf guide by the link in the description to this video.

Хотелось бы посмотреть как Вы пишете портреты в гуаши...С уважением , Александр

Watching someone paint does nothing for me.
