You make gouache look like digital art wow :0

[@hexkwondo]

Gouache was the main medium for graphic artists back in the day.

[@quijotapazos2750]

@@hexkwondo It still is, with artists that work for ilustrated books

[@kindafrenchbaguette6998]

Gouache is actually really good for creating similar results to digital art. If your looking for such a thing there is an artist Syblline_m who makes similarly amazing gouache pieces.

[@luxinvictus9018]

Fun fact: a lot of older Japanese animation was done with gouache. Digital painting techniques were sort of developed to imitate gouache

I love how you showed the first attempt of that portrait as well. It shows that everyone (including the talented artists of the world) make mistakes and learn from them. Thanks for the video!

[@penutbutterpickles]

Your little mascot is so cute, and the painting was so beautiful! I love it so much!

[@iyanubanks100]

I was like: Aw🥺

[@Bepetoni]

Yeah, so my first art teacher was a little bit too strict with us and I've been stuck in the same boundaries she'd set up for us for years now. I've never even tried washing gouache down or mixing it with watercolor before. This video helped me to get through this artistic trauma. Thanks for making it!

[@liriosogno6762]

I bought gouache bc my Favorit instagram artist uses it and I hate hate hate hate hate how it dries. I tried so often but I will never like them. But thanks very much for the Tipps!

[@malinity]

lirio sogno jjjjjjjñññññññnññññññññ **never fall asleep watching YT.... just noticed this* ** 😶😶😶

[@seraby7151]

Maybe you used it like watercolors? I find qouache to be more similar to oils than it is to watercolor. When I practice with gouache I go look for oil painting tutorials instead. The best approach is to start the base like watercolors, then layer like oil, except goache will sometimes reactivate especially when using tons of water. Goache is always better fresh from the tube but it's still usuable when put and dried on a pan/palette

[@Pixidot9]

who is your favorite instagram artist? *-*

[@theveganalchemist]

Holbein has an acrylic gouache line which I find has the best of both worlds.

[@mysticori]

same, i love watercolors and oils but gouache is just not for me

Wow, yesterday I did a gouache painting and I had trouble blending some of the colors. Thanks for the tutorial, I'll try some new techniques. Love your art, as always :)

[@MeowMeowKapow]

This is a very thoughtful demo! I was doing a “I’m learning how to gouache” series on my channel but haven’t done anything in a month or so and, like you said, gouache isn’t the easiest medium (for me anyway) so I always feel like I need a good amount of energy built up to even tackle it. You ALMOST made me feel ready to go for it again....almost.

[@aliciameneses8999]

2:13 i smiled as soon as i saw your wooden korok figure. It's gorgeous!

[@aliciameneses8999]

just finished the video and the shading and colors you used for your painting are stunning!

[@Sweet-tt3gj]

What I like about you is that your skills and you actually showed us your messed painting, which gives me hope that first attempt is not that bad and it helps you learn more..and your painting was awesome

[@fae2536]

You're honestly the first artist who doesn't jump the gun while voicing your clip of painting. Everything came up when you said it would, and I didn't have to rewind to try to figure out what you're referring to, like some artists I watch/follow. It was perfect, tbh. Thanks for that.

[@dokodayo]

I was scrolling down in my suggested and read the title. I scrolled passed it, but then scrolled back up because was dying to know how gouache was pronounced LOL. I learned something new today.

[@assrash2312]

[@komaedadoritos1650]

THAT PAINTING OF VINNY IS GORGEOUS!!! and this is so so helpful! theres not too many videos showing tips and tricks for gouache painting so im really grateful you put this out!

[@MadiMiso]

I mostly use gouache and I love how thoughtful and precise this tutorial is, wonderful work!

[@joeyrosas7435]

I love that you showed your mess up that’s something most artist do not do and I just can’t say how much I appreciate it. It shows young and learning artist like me that it’s okey to mess up.

[@bigbossbowser9367]

i love how you added your first attempt of the painting! it shows that art is not only a matter of practise but trial and error! of course practise is extremely important but i'm sure you under stand what i'm meaning

[@Xialyd]

OMG each time i watch you your videos I wanna cry. I'm soo scared to try and ruine my work. It's so amazing how you can make your art look like digit paintings with traditionnal medias.. You motivate me and at the same time it make me feel so unskilled T__T I really envy you. If only my art teachers were so efficient as you..

[@Chain_Curse]

Every once in awile I come to watch one of your videos for drawing tips and seeing your amazing artwork. And somehow I only realized now how relaxing and calming your voice is. Like am I the only one who thinks this? I can’t be right, your voice is amazing and it’s beautiful. Keep up the good work man.

[@hexkwondo]

I love Guache. The colors are so vivid and bright for making cartoon type paintings compared to acrylic.

[@AkumaNoRobin]

I clicked on this video out of pure curiosity because youtube suggested it to me, but if there is something I really did not expect to see at all was that AMAZING Vinny Vinesauce painting, what a surprise!! Really good and informative video too!

[@Echolox]

AkumaNoRobin I'm so happy to see so many people from the vinesauce community showing up in the comments (and I recognize your name from the art segments). Lao painted that picture more or less on my request during an Instagram live stream a long time ago and he keeps pulling it out as one of his few gouache examples :)

Watercolors and gouache are my two fav paints to use. It is so nice to learn more about them. This makes me want to paint something!

[@creativethoughts]

Always wait for your new upload 😊

[@aylapias9087]

Like, I srsly recognized your voice IMMEDIATELY

[@IHaveNoLaifu]

I swear your tutorials are so timely. I just got serious about improving with gouache and this comes out. It's been up for a week and I think I've watched it 10 times at least by now-- trying to figure out blending. I've never thought about using cardboard with gouache. I really need to try that instead of using up all my watercolor paper. :)

[@RavenDevils]

I've never heard of gouache before now. This video was relaxing, intriguing, and overall makes me want to invest in this medium. You have a rather relaxing and inviting voice by the way.

[@lanaschmidt7919]

Thanks a lot for your tutorials! Keep them going ❤ Graphic pencils are my comfort zone, but with your help I believe I will be able to get over my fear of watercolour and gouache paints ~~

[@creativethoughts]

Svetlana K the same case with me 😊

[@AkitaSyn]

This was insightful! and your character is adorable!!

[@mochatheartist]

I took 2 years of painting and drawing in College, and never once was Guache mentioned. Thank you for such an informative video. I'd love to try this medium sometime!

[@gisisodia]

Beautiful work art. I personally fight a lot with watercolors, in fact I started a couple of years ago to watch your channel to learn more about it, and recently I received as a gift a gouache set and it was so much better! I feel like it was my natural art supply XD. Still love watercolors works, but not just mine XP

[@VS-hp9el]

Thanks for the tips in blending! I can't wait to try that out. I also appreciate letting us know about paying attention to what type of brush to use. I'll definitely take note of that one since I think that's why I'm having a bit of trouble with some of my paintings. Cheers!

[@sylvias6666]

Awwwww! The little animations are so cute!!! ♡♡♡

[@Sharktwoth]

Thank you so much! My dad just gave me some oil paints and gouache,( they were just lying around it was nuts) and I had never used either! I had heard of both, and had always wanted to try them, but never had the chance. This was super useful for me!

[@g-alicenine]

I'm currently mixing the two. I usually only use watercolor but I decided to challenge myself and paint the northern lights, it's certainly a bigger challenge than I anticipated and I had to grab my gouche/japanese watercolor to fix the mistakes I made etc. I regret not using masking fluid this time, but it's still turning out good.

[@angelnik1171]

ОМГ!!!! В этом видео я узнала о гуаши больше чем в художке..... Огромное спасибо что есть русские субтитры👏👏👏 👍 Т.к я из России и с английским о многих туговато.....Поэтому огромное спасибо👏👏👏👏👍👌

[@ЧингизМукушев-н5с]

Я тоже в восторге что хоть кто то с англо язычного ютуба пишет руские субтитры!!!! 😍😁 Я никогда такого даже не слышала про гуашь! Хоть рисую уже чуть больше 3 лет! Больше бы таких ютуберов!!! ❤😘

Oh nice, I just started messing with this medium. Looking forward to more tutorials.

For how short this video is it is so informative and helpful to beginners. I am so impressed thank you so much!

[@stefaniyashabanova5264]

Всегда ненавидела гуашь в худ школе😅 по возможности использовала акварель, но после этого видео у меня появилось необъяснимое желание порисовать гуашью 🤔 а у тебя просто золотые руки😻 🔥 за что не возьмёшься, все получается невозможно красиво❤️

[@irinakiss5855]

Я вообще не рисую красками ,только портреты карандашом .Но мне тоже захотелось порисовать гуашью,ибо иногда надо выходить из зоны комфорта.)))

[@erlajade7696]

This is so good. Please continue making this kind of videos. I support you. You are an amazing person!💜

[@sempaisempai7439]

I am not a watercolor artist. But I use it since I am a mixed medium artist. Speaking of gouache, the first and MOST IMPORTANT THING WE SHOULD DO: READ THE CONTENT OF THE MATERIAL. Have I known I bought a rare kind of Gouache, I just bought it in a Japan Surplus store since I want to have some watercolors. At first I didn't know it's a gouache. It took me months before I realized that I am using one. And yes, we really need to read the content, otherwise it will ruin our artworks. On the top of that, I underestimate it and the colors are too vibrant but still helps since I could manage to save the usage of my colored pencils. ;w; Gosh your colors laovaaan you're amazing thanks for your tutorial!

[@MatheusFerreira-mu6lu]

once i bought a very very very VERY cheap gouache from a dollar store and i remember having a wonderful time painting with it (before i started to use watercolors) they are very chalky but i love them, really.....

I learned gouache from a professional artist for 3 hours then I was left to fend for myself. eventually my high school major work was 8 gouache portraits. seeing this video I realised how many techniques I've discovered the hard way. I find that I start with a thin layer, then almost exclusively use the overpaint technique.

[@androsfart]

I've seen a lot of 'Gouache for Beginners' videos and this is by far the most helpful! Thank yo for making this video :D

Oh wait ? What's that sound ? Oh ! It's the sound of me hitting that subscribe button ! This video is so relaxing, yet so educational for gouche beginners ! I'm planning to use my gouche that i got on my birthday a year ago, but i never got the motivation. I just watched this video and I felt like I have motivation to actually use it. Though I will wait for more, if i mean wait for the time i can use my gouche, I mean it as wait for me to finish having a marathon of watching your whole channel !

[@MidoriMushrooms]

the way I paint digitally relies on brushes that smudge and blend the already applied colors and I've never stopped to consider leaving intended white areas blank before watching someone talk about doing that for traditional art. Guess I should watch more traditional art videos, I might actually learn more from them.
