Gouache Time Lapse Painting | "Mélisande"

[@KiarasStudio]

This is so technically sound and gorgeous to look at!

[@mikecreighton]

Aw thanks so much!

[@baotpham]

Beautiful! Love seeing what others are doing with Gouache.

[@mikecreighton]

Thank you! Fun medium.

[@freakyleaf2]

Im learning how gouache is different to acrylic. I really like gouache its so nice for layering

[@weronoyume]

Wow! This is so beautiful!

[@umakanthan53]

BEAUTIFUL! A subject very ordinarily depicted in a photograph can be turned into a wonderful painting is proved by the Artist's masterly brush strokes!!!

[@mikecreighton]

🙏

[@Skyphic]

Truly phenomenal piece this alone inspired me to pick up the brush again, thanks for that. I would love to see more of your process as it's quite enchanting.

[@Skyphic]

sub from me by the way, keep it up

[@mikecreighton]

Thanks a bunch, Skyphic. Super glad to hear that it inspired you to do some painting. I'm wrapping up a larger oil series right now but plan to get back to these smaller works which are much more suitable for documenting. Appreciate the sub!

[@Trickboy36]

This a very helpful video. I keep seeing reference to "tiling" when I research gouache painting. That what it looks like anyway. This is also one of the very few time-lapse art videos that's actually instructive. Thanks.

[@elenamatei5553]

I like this glitch-elish effect.

[@sophiadooley447]

I love how it's blockly but when you squint it all blends perfectly & looks so realistic, amazing work, really inspiring

[@wiedesignarch]

I am stunned ❤❤

[@catherinelevison3310]

I am amazed at the pixelated looking outcome. I have been attempting to learn portrait painting and have only done one Gouache portrait so this is impressive to watch...from the starting dark values to the ending. Thank you!

[@jesusgonzalez-qp2rf]

Love the way the work it’s finish , as you leave the academic feeling and introduce your own style.

[@tjdewet2868]

Fresh and new, like your style. Record and share more of your sessions in gouache, colour pencil and sketching. They are all fabulous

[@pennobrien6735]

I really love your use of shapes in this painting

[@wishlist011]

Great work. Love the style. Particularly like paintings where the subject and the background overlap in places. Hope the plans to stream again come together. As an artist myself who is always looking to learn more I'll be keeping an eye out.

[@sandihester]

i love the abstractness of this!

[@dabama2864]

Damn if you loke closely, this js absolutely abstract love it👍

[@christophergeiss678]

Outstanding. I love this pixellated style of work. Thanks for sharing!

[@facom40]

Congratulations Mike, I love it, it's amazing !

[@StefanNuetzel]

Great little painting. Thanks for sharing your process.

[@yourmajestyswill]

Beautiful!!! I love this! Gouache always seems so intimidating to me.

[@mikecreighton]

Thanks JustAnotherLevel! I share your feelings about gouache being super intimidating. I only started using in the past year, and I'm still figuring it out. But it's a lot of fun. I encourage anyone interested in gouache to read whatever James Gurney has to say about it and to check out his video Gouache in the Wild (for purchase on Gumroad here: gumroad.com/l/gouache). Here's a particularly helpful post about dealing with the hazards of gouache: gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-seven-gouache-hazards-and-how-to.html

[@gabbyvrielle5138]

This looks great! Keep creating Id love to see more!

[@darklightillustrations]

Very interesting technique and beautiful outcome! I really hope you'll keep doing this kind of video.

[@alexanderyoungart74]

Excellent! I enjoyed viewing this.

[@Sannoon93]

This is amazing. .. would you mind making a video on colour mixing with gouach? Looking forward to your upcoming videos

[@designsofluid8308]

I love the style of this!

[@kimleon-guerrero9980]

Fascinating to watch.

[@BigDaddyZakk420]

Such a distinct, gorgeous style. You deserve way more subscribers!

[@user-ic3gi5hc3e]

This is amazing!!!

[@dreabora]

My God, why I don't find that video when I made my research about your works! That's amazing technique, thank you for making process video

[@GQArtstyle]

really gorgeous work! I love how you used the flat brushes to get this effect, thanks for sharing!

[@Jannuk76]

Wow, just clicked your video by accident, I'm glad I did, this is amazing!

[@steelfictional]

[@jesusgonzalez-qp2rf]

[@mikecreighton]

Thanks, Chris. I appreciate it!

[@monishikhasartstudio]

This is just beautiful!!

[@NA-rz2qf]

a really nice technique and u are very skilled on it! i would love to see more drawings with this technique. thx for sharing this videos

[@rajeshpisat7462]

Awesome beautiful

[@EmyArt]

Amazing piece I wish I could understand this technique I thought it only works with oils and acrylics and I don't use them but now after watching it with gouache I want to try it out it

[@YeoLja2XO1]

amazing !!!

[@jawarablake]

Great skill, man

[@ami_verse]

Did you just use the colours blue, red and yellow with the addition of white? Such an awesome painting! Subscribed!

[@mikecreighton]

Thanks, Amy! Yep, I just used blue, red, and yellow + white. It helps keep a painting unified and also just makes working with color less complex. Tips I've learned from watching James Gurney videos.

[@14watecolormore]

Great painting.

[@oswros]

Great work!

[@riccia888]

Very cool painting man. Can you really get those colors with just 3 tubes red blue and yellow?

[@BittersweetBoys]

So good!!

[@jasminefoo5970]

This is absolutely amazing!! Do you mind if I draw this？I'm still a beginner so I'd love to try and paint this as a practice, I wouldn't post it online and would credit you for sure!

[@mikecreighton]

Thanks Jasmine Foo. You're more than welcome to do a study. And you're welcome to post whatever you make online too. Just credit me with the original ;) Good luck with your practice!

[@JohnSalmon]

Superb! Thanks for sharing.

[@lolacaramelocute]

amazing

[@thepochade5992]

Exceptional !!

[@mikecreighton]

Thanks, April!

[@tuedaz]

Very cool.

[@gyepescalle]

Wow! Beautiful :)

[@meghanjudge1629]

I wish made more printing videos.

[@meisphilly]

I absolutely love it! the limited palette, the color scheme and above all the brushstroke! Can you do more with this type of brushstroke? or a tutorial? It's just wonderful ;)))))

[@ocegwen7759]

love it so much！

[@oc_villain3833]

Bravo Maestro ,. .

[@AFOLABITIMI]

This is awesome.... did you even add water?.... 👏

[@macielasantos6174]

Amazing ❤😍

[@habowskistudio2724]

Fantastic piece! I love the realism and how you've deconstructed it . I agree with the limited palette concept....use it often. I'd like to do gouache for travel (plane)....I normally work in oils, so would be a pain. It seems the key is to layer confidently by using accurate color ..... "mixing" the color by way of value shifts instead of blending. Is that the idea ?

[@dylanhodges8110]

Did you put paint on a wet napkin in your pallet.... this is genius.

[@mikecreighton]

Yep! A little tip that I learned from James Gurney. Check out his KZbin channel for some amazing gouache demos full of other great tips.

[@AngryBrother360]

"Excellent!.

[@hardaor69]

Wow! It looks amazing! I love it! Can I ask what is it you're using for the palette!? Awesome work bro!

[@mikecreighton]

Thanks, Arthur! I'm using a butcher tray (www.utrechtart.com/Richeson-Butcher-Tray-Palettes-MP-03066-001-i1008002.utrecht). Keeps everything nice and contained and makes clean-up super easy. I honestly just wish I had a bigger one. And usually I squeeze my colors out onto a dampened paper towel (folded up into a strip) to help keep them wet during the painting session.

[@Banacp9]

Hey! I originally clicked on this video to observe the technique, but I’m really interested in that strip inside the palette. Is that watercolor paper or tape??? It looks like a handy way to save extra paint/keep the paint tray clean.

[@darkcustomxxx7252]

Excellent work. It looks like you're taking an oil painting approach building up from the darkest tones through the mids to the highlights. May i ask if you're letting each tonal block dry or going in wet on wet with minimal blending? Again, this is what i want to see with gouache. As a side note, have you tried doing these portrait studies using a gouache version of the Zorn palette, ie: black, vermillion and yellow ochre + white?

[@mikecreighton]

Hey thanks a lot. Yeah, I'm definitely taking an oil painting approach here... just trying to translate whatever I know about my oil painting process to this medium. I'm letting each tonal block dry, not going in wet on wet. Gouache dries so fast that it's hard for me to go wet on wet unless I'm using zero water. I'm using paint from tubes, btw. Funny you mention the Zorn palette, because just this evening I took a stab at it. Not with this specific chunky geometric flat brush approach. But still with varying sizes of flats. You can see the result here: www.reddit.com/r/painting/comments/erqo36/gouache_portrait_using_zorn_palette/ I ended up using ivory black, yellow ochre, titanium white, and a hue called "Spectrum Red" from Winsor & Newton, which was the closest to cad red that I had.

[@mayulee1923]

What's this style of art called?? It's gorgeous!

[@mikecreighton]

Thanks Mayu Lee! I wouldn't say there's a name for this "style". It's just me experimenting with some abstraction and brushwork.

[@niifx5842]

WOW...

[@halibut1249]

Why all the underpainting and overlays?? Wouldn't it be easier to go in with the color you intend, at the start?? Thx.

[@Enthcreations]

nice.

[@patio87]

Glitch art in gouache.

[@keepsmilingboy]

Have you ever been to Madison Wisconsin? I think I saw your work on display

[@mikecreighton]

KarBearArt, no I haven't ever been there. And my work's only been publicly displayed in Portland, Oregon. Curious whose work it was that you saw.

[@keepsmilingboy]

very similar style

[@COLORDOKID]

Must make more of these. :-) Are you still streaming on Twitch?

[@mikecreighton]

Brett, I'm definitely planning to make more of these. Glad you enjoyed this one. As for streaming, I plan to get back into it. It's just that I'm not satisfied with my physical setup right now but haven't taken the time to make it work better for streaming. Getting that sorted is on my list for this weekend.

[@sararosa5436]

👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩beautiful.

[@MsMonile]

I love it...but the music was weird.🤨🤨

[@garyjd1166]

Guess it beats dead silence if there's no other audio.

[@Paul-tc8di]

what do you call this?

[@mikecreighton]

Paul, I'm not quite sure what you're asking here. The painting itself is titled "Mélisande". And it's a portrait painting done in gouache.

[@Paul-tc8di]

I mean what type/design

[@mikecreighton]

I can't say that there's really a specific name for this. It's a somewhat geometric abstraction of a portrait that employs rhythmic mark-making and fragmentation. Largely driven by the brushes I use (flats and brights) and the quick-drying nature of gouache.

[@peluso_palit]

Just sub. Please do more guoache video.

[@karjakinsergey6325]

this looks like a painting from minecraft

[@stale_popcorn]

umm HOW THE HELL

[@BooksRebound]

Sharizai lol

[@blakddhishfjedj]

The music gave me so anxiety

[@blakddhishfjedj]

But I loved this painting so much!

[@mikecreighton]

Sorry about the anxiety-inducing music! So few options to choose from in the KZbin music library. I might just need to open up Garage Band and make some simple backing tracks. Can't be dealing with DMCA takedowns. Thanks for the comments though!

[@mikebraun4098]

The eye 👎🏻

[@captainamerica6521]
