I feel like we definitely need more artists walking through their paintings with explanations on the techniques and approaches, so I want to say thank you for making this video! I just started with gouache and this is super helpful. Also your painting is gorgeous as always, I love how you use different hues to make it all come together harmoniously in the end! :D

[@emhuesart]

Thank YOU for watching and leaving a comment! I wouldn't make these videos without lovely people like you showing interest 💖

[@Yeewen88]

Can try when post on art channel, usually certain formulas follow

[@lunarart502]

Maybe you want to do a Video about values, shape and kontrast and how to identify it in a reference. Or how to study it. And Maybe a Video about doing a masterstudy the „right“ way🙈 I‘m so excited for your brushes!

[@emhuesart]

Thank you! Those are super great suggestions (I'm writing them all down hehe) 🩷 I'm so excited too, they launch tomorrow! 🖌️🎉

[@ashleyhageman7698]

You should check out Mathew White watercolor videos! He has done amazing explaining for me and has really helped me improve my art along with Emily!

[@Online_Dreamz]

As a digital artist who only likes to use 1 brush, I wanna try to achieve a more painterly style, so u helped me a lot in ur tutorials tysm!!😭😭💗💗

[@Ty-Braun]

I think this is my favourite portrait you’ve ever done! It’s so bright and airy

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much! I feel like it was a breakthrough portrait for me, I learned so much from the process 🥰

[@tmo6517]

I love when big shapes are used…I’m still working on this but the results are stunning!

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much! Using bigger brushes and squinting at your references will help with this. It's about training your brain with practice 😊

[@tmo6517]

@@emhuesart thank you… learning a lot! Your art style is beautiful!🥰🥰🥰

[@glenda7921]

I really appreciated seeing the reference throughout the video it was great too late to let you were seeing and then what was put down on the paper. What I would also really learn from is seeing the pallette

[@AlexR-ms4fe]

Whenever I feel unmotivated I come back to your channel to feel inspired again. I love your style of artwork.

[@claritzairosario68]

Wow! I don't know how you do that! It's truly amazing! This contrast, and when you look in the simple way, they're patches of paint and when you look, you see all this beautiful, beautiful details! Oh my Gosh! So beautiful! I love your channel! Your artwork is so impressive ❤🥰❤❤❤

I love how amazingly well done these videos are, it's enjoyible and cozy to watch, but also packed to the brim with knowledge, I love how she mentions every ditail no matter how small it seems, no stone left unturned type shi, no joke some of the most helpfull gouache videos for me on the whole site, thanks for this incredible vidoes and hoping for more in the future

i always watch a youtube video of an amazing artist with a specific medium and then want to do it, now i want gouache after trashing it for years.... i loved this video ur way of painting is theraputic

[@liliyadudko9959]

[@emhuesart]

Ah awesome!

Your artwork is breathtaking! It’s so cool to see the entire process, I definitely learn a lot! 🔥🔥🔥

[@emhuesart]

I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you ❤️❤️

[@MeowItsGhazt]

You're lovely, I think your portraiture is phenomenal. Im just now jumping into them in Paints, straying from Graphite which typically come out pretty soft and warm. I enjoyed, have a great day.

[@emhuesart]

Aw thank you so much! You sound lovely as well 💛 wishing you the best in your portrait painting journey!

[@chedoodles]

That was so flawless, dang

[@Nytyly]

Glowing from within sounds like my next song title wow ! Thank you for your wonderful inspiration

[@emhuesart]

Haha I'd definitely listen to that song! Thank you!

[@ShackCrap]

I got new Gouache paints and since im fairly young i don't really know how to paint with them. Even with tutorials. Your videos really, REALLY, helped me in painting portraits! :D

Beautiful portrait, your sense of colour theory is so good

[@emhuesart]

Aw thank you so much!! Thank you for all of your love and support! 🩷 I'm so glad this gave you some inspiration, happy painting!! 🥰

[@Czcz4991]

I love your content. As an artist who hasn't been drawing much in adulthood, I started watching vids for inspo to start again. You're one of my favorite channels. I scrolled through your IG and saw how much you've grown at your craft over the years. Love the brush set, so glad you kept the blue colour! Thank you for sharing your art with us.

[@Thoughtspresso]

This was so good. I'm so looking forward to you affording a dual camera setup, but still your explanation was so helpful.

[@zeynepcan3089]

I love how you put the reference photo on the sides of the screen, making your video more explanatory

[@hollyw378]

Your gouache portrait videos are so informative! Thank you for sharing your process with us ❤ your paintings, as always, are incredible!

[@emhuesart]

I'm so glad you enjoyed! If there's anything specific you'd like to see in a future video, let me know! ❤️

this is so mesmerizing, and beautiful, and educational, and calming, and inspirational!! thank you for this beautiful video!

[@beedee4427]

Yes, I certainly did learn a LOT. Really great tutorial. I'm a portrait artist but I work primarily in watercolour on Aquaboard. I LOVE painting this way but I'm wanting to mix things up, loosen the fluff up and try the whole Gouache thing. I'm hoping this will be a way I can loosen up my work. Your brushes look absolutely beautiful and exactly what I need to attempt to pull this off. I've purchased a couple of sets of ShinHan plus some extras and I'm good to go but quite confused about the whole dark to light, colour shifts etc. Anyhoo, I'm counting down until your brushes are available. Thanks for the free knowledge. Much appreciated. Cheers, Beverley, Newcastle, Australia 🇦🇺

[@emhuesart]

I'm so glad to hear that you learned something! Trying gouache is going to be an exciting challenge, it should also work wonderfully on aquaboard! I haven't tried ShinHan gouache, but I've heard great things! I'm excited to hear how your gouache adventures go 💛 The whole dark to light and value shift thing will become easier to understand with practice, so just try to enjoy the journey! 😊 The brushes come out today and I am so excited! 🎉

Even with mini paintings tend to use multiple water containers to clean off and reduce water swapping

Finally! This is the only gouache I have heheheheheheheheh

Hey! I'm just watching this video rn, and I dont know if you already did something like this. But could you make a portrait using only primary colors and black and white? I only have this 5 colors hahaha

[@Xie_TINEnadhana]

I came here because im a big fan of Hamrib and I saw your comments on her IG! Im so happy to see your Collaboration with Craftamo! Congratulations! 😮saw that you’re in Canada too! ❤

[@ArtByStepho]

Love your portrait! I've always wanted to try a more blocky feel, need to try out the large brush technique.

[@emhuesart]

Thanks so much! I hope you can give it a try 😊

[@tmo6517]

I totally missed the beginning…the effects of living with a little person.🙃 Congrats on the brush set! I will be checking that out at 2!😊

[@lyssasletters3232]

❤ your choice of colors is 👌

[@lunarivera0109]

One thing I was never taught in school was how much water or linseed oil to add to the paint itself (crazy, ik) how much water should I be adding to the goachr paint I squeeze out of the tube? Thanks!!

[@priyadharshinig4168]

Hi!!! can you do a dark skin portrait or a tutorial of sort some time?😭. you are my huge inspiration for painting anything❤. I hope to paint like you one day💪

[@emhuesart]

Absolutely! I've done darker skinned portraits in my 100 heads challenge videos, but I'd love to do a full video on it 😊

I was wondering if you will be making a print of this or any of your other portraits? Can't wait for the brush set!!

I can definitely make a print of this one! If there are any other portraits you'd like to see prints of, let me know 🥰 Brushes launch in a few hours! Woohoo! 🎉

[@hahu5581]

How do you get the right values and choosing colors I struggle a lot with it, your paintings look very pretty

[@emmehebert2148]

I bought these brushes immediately! You should paint Meryl Streep in the devil wears Prada. That would be so gorgeous in your painting style! I’m so jealous I can’t paint like this😂😩💖

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much!! So excited for you to try them 🎉 I LOVE the devil wears Prada 😍

[@alexandrahowerter7495]

Do I paint with gouache? No never, but these are my favorite videos from you and I've used a light purple in my portraits ever since you recommended it

[@emhuesart]

Aw haha, I love that! I'm glad you still enjoy them! If there are any particular videos you'd like to see, feel free to let me know 😊

[@lilyotv9767]

Wow!

[@mchlup]

This is amazing! I really want to try gouache at some point but there's always the fear of the unknown and fudging it up. 😅

[@emhuesart]

Thank you! You should take the leap and try it! The only way to learn is through practice. I definitely fudged up many gouache paintings, especially at the start haha! 😅

[@ChantelleArts]

I really want to try turner gouache but it's not as easy to get in the uk as winsor and newton 🥰

[@emhuesart]

Turner is super affordable here, especially with the size of their tubes, but I find W&N is more packed with pigment! 😊

[@funmisoroye4510]

Very informative!

[@emhuesart]

So glad to hear it! :)

[@toratsubasa91]

Quick question: when you were placing the darkest darks near the beginning, how thick was the paint? It looks like you use a milk consistency for the majority of the painting.

[@emhuesart]

Great question! I tend to use a tea consistency only for the under painting/ sketch (burnt sienna in this case). the rest of the painting, including the darkest darks are all using a milk-pancake batter consistency 💛

[@N30N_0N3]

Very nice.

Can you do something similar to this video but with watercolor

[@emhuesart]

I want to, but I feel like I'm not good enough at watercolors yet! 😅

[@derrickalexander8151]

@@emhuesart which one is more easier watercolor or gouache for skin tone and portraits

[@glion883]

Please will you tell us what the brush hairs are made from? I see they're two-toned - are there two different types of brush hairs in there? Also, do you know how long the brushes are from end to end? They look long. Trying to figure out if they'll fit in my brush roll, but I don't see this info on the webpage. Thank you! Love the painting.

[@emhuesart]

Hi! These are great questions! There is only one type of brush hair used, they are cruelty-free synthetic nylon filaments. They are longer lasting and much less prone to damage from solvents and paint compared to natural fibers! You can find more info on the "care" page of the Craftamo website. As for the length, they are actually short-medium length brushes. The shortest (the #2 round brush) is 7.5 inch from end to end, and the longest (the 1" flat brush) is 9". I designed them with my own brush roll in mind. Thank you so much for watching! Let me know if you have any other questions 😊🩷
