Gouache wash off / resist technique

[@scarlettHischild]

Thank you for sharing the link! I cannot wait to get a moment to sit and watch this. On my way to head out to church as I type. Just saw the very beginning and I absolutely love Bockingford Not watercolor paper. It was one of my very first watercolor papers I saved and purchased.

[@LizChadertonArt]

I hope you enjoy it. I love this technique

[@msjellyhead100]

Thankyou for sharing this technique Liz, great result, very inspirational and one day I hope to join one of your workshops

[@LizChadertonArt]

That would be lovely!

[@debbie9035]

Thanks for sharing a fun technique Liz. The enhancing one does as an artist is never cheating but creating the outcome you see fit.

[@LizChadertonArt]

you are 100% correct!

[@debbiebruce6920]

I really like this technique and think I will give it a try. You did a great job!

[@LizChadertonArt]

[@borleyboo5613]

I have just bought your book and I saw this technique in there. I just had to see how you did it. And I love it. The tree really does look like a vintage illustration. By the way, I absolutely love the quirky church, pub and Deanery in the book. 😊

[@LizChadertonArt]

oh good! So pleased you like the book. This technique is such fun. I have a full length course here: www.lizchadertonstudio.co.uk/turtle-ink-resist in case you are interested

[@Merryknees1]

Thank you for introducing me to a new technique. I really like the end result.

[@LizChadertonArt]

You are so welcome!

[@johnnywhite1681]

Fascinating and well demonstrated with clear explanation.

[@LizChadertonArt]

Glad you liked it!

[@rhondaporro7116]

Maybe use a brayer to roll ink on , Amy perhaps make removal easier maybe explore different ink removal tool magic erasers or circular spong dauber ,IN A GENTLE CIRCULAR MOTION PERHAPS Idk?. You may find rolling vs painting ink on wool remove the ink brush stroke strpies you mentioned . But rolling ink may lift qouache VERY COOL TECHNIQUE WITH INFINITE CREATIVE POSSIBLILITIES . SO, THANK SO VERY MUCH FOR THIS VERY INTERESTING VIDEO ONTENT. I KNOW I WLL DEFINITELY EXPLORE THIS VERY EXCITING TECHNIQUE! BRAVO! WELL DONE! 😊

[@LizChadertonArt]

I’ve developed this a lot more since making the film and find shorter random strokes of ink work well. I’ve put together a detailed couple of courses if you might be interested www.lizchadertonstudio.co.uk/turtle-ink-resist

[@alicecilepin9370]

Interesting, I’ve never seen a method like this before. I have done a bit of printing of different varieties and this really does give a mono printed effect, Looks really cool….. I never would have guessed that it was done this way! Really interesting! 🤔 Right I’m going to need some more black Indian ink…… Thanks liz…..

[@LizChadertonArt]

it’s a fabulous technique…and yes you need a lot of ink! if you are interested in a more detailed course please look at www.lizchadertonstudio.co.uk/ink-resist-aka-gouache-wash-off Have fun!

[@alicecilepin9370]

@@LizChadertonArt Cheers I will keep that in mind :)

[@annettesykes1432]

loved this and what a beautiful outcome.

[@LizChadertonArt]

Thank you so much!

[@LovinLnCottage]

This was fascinating. I love the way it turned out. Please, though, do not use repetitive background ‘musac’ because after a few minutes it becomes annoying to the point of irritating, especially for those of us who have some loss of hearing acuity. You are an inspiring and creative artist and teacher and I love watching you create your dynamic pieces. They are so full of life! Thank you for sharing your process with the world. ☮️❤️🙏

[@LizChadertonArt]

when I first made films three years ago I put music on, as I thought it was what you should do. I soon stopped. if you look at anything more recent, there will be no music. There is no way of removing the music, so I would need to delete the entire film.

[@GirlwithaFunnyName]

Love the effect of this technique! I was wondering would this also work on canvas?

[@LizChadertonArt]

As if by magic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHPVgJKqi7t7gpo! Yes it does work on canvas, but is tricky. As the canvas is not as a sorbet even when primed, it does not hold on to the ink as firmly as it should. I have a full course on the technique here: www.lizchadertonstudio.co.uk/ink-resist-aka-gouache-wash-off

[@GirlwithaFunnyName]

@@LizChadertonArt Thanks so much Liz! Really love your work. 😊

[@LizChadertonArt]

@@GirlwithaFunnyName thanks!

[@jakea1035]

Very informative, thank you, music a bit distracting though!

[@LizChadertonArt]

it’s an old film and I used to do that, until I realised it is so annoying and stopped!

[@czaruba1]

The end result is beautiful! I am mystified on how the gouache doesn't come off too. Isn't it water-based paint, like watercolor?

[@LizChadertonArt]

Most does come off and takes the excess ink with it, but the stain remains behind

[@annsowers4591]

I love the outcome.

[@LizChadertonArt]

It is such a fun process. I love the reveal as you wash the ink off. If you want a really in depth landscape I have a paid for course at www.lizchadertonstudio.co.uk or just dive in and have a go.

[@susanhepburn6040]

Such an interesting technique, full of potential. Thank you very much, Liz.

[@LizChadertonArt]

Glad you liked it!

[@cedrikellis5186]

so cool

[@LizChadertonArt]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cedrikellis5186]

you is french pls me is french

[@LizChadertonArt]

mon français n'est pas très bon

[@clairehalmen1125]

I don't understand why you make people pay 20 pounds (I did), and you offer a free video of the technique!

[@LizChadertonArt]

The paid for course is far more detailed and takes you through a more complicated subject.

[@CobraDove1111]

Why are you playing that awful music behind the whole video over and over?? That is a stinger intro track, not a background track. It's so irritating, video is almost unwatchable

[@LizChadertonArt]

when I started making films I was learning the process and software. I didn’t know better, but I don’t do it now. I cannot remove it, but if you don’t like it you can stop watching.

[@cedrikellis5186]

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha lolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololo;l

[@LizChadertonArt]

😊

[@jekalambert9412]

Gwash not goo ache.

[@LizChadertonArt]

😂 I prefer goooooash. Like tomarto or tomayto... all the same in the end. Still a lovely way of painting.

[@huskytail]

Gouache comes from French, so gooash sounds closer to the original French pronunciation, though both seem to be accepted in English.

[@rhondaporro877]

Just stop silly negative- NO ONE LIKES IT!! YOU CAN CALL IT WHATEVER YOU WISH - YOU APPRENTLY KNOW IT ALL AS KNOW IT ALSO ALWAYS DO! EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT MEDIUM LIZ IS DISCUSSING ALMOST EVERYONE. YOU CAN THINK ALL THE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS YOU WANT- THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD LET ALL YOUR NEGATIVE THOUGHT COME OUT UR MOUTH!! OFTEN THIS IS JUST A MEANS TO GET ATTENTION BY ATTENTION SEEKERS! I'M JUST SAYING.
