I really enjoyed this video. I have often wondered about using gouache, but didn't know anything about. I think using it as a preliminary for an oil painting is such a good idea, and you end up with another lovely painting to boot. Loved it

[@vincentterracciano8214]

Spectacular landscape and a fantastic painting. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

You are very welcome! 😀

[@DeniseClarkWeston_Artist]

Brilliant, Sam! You helped me understand better how to use gouache! It looks especially helpful for working out colors in advance of a large painting.

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

That's great to hear, I'm glad it helped! 😄

Much appreciated, Sam. This one had a real calming effect, I love your minimal brushwork and the rigid shapes in this painting. Also I had no idea you were born on an island, that's so cool!

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

If you enjoy painting with Gouache, then you need to also try Casine paint sometime. You can get it online at Blicks...maybe Jerrys too but not sure. The paint I use is the Shiva Series and it is by Richeson. Casine is not a popular medium these days as it is little known now and has been hard to find in the past, but it is great fun and inexpensive. To me it falls between Gouache and Acrylics and paints in a similar manner and yet has its own look and feel. Beautiful painting, love your videos!

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely look into Casine paint! 🎨😊

Excellent demo and appreciate info about gouache. I mostly use oil. Your painting looks like oil and is fabulous.

That was beautiful. I wish my finished stage were as nice as your “ugly stage.” 😅

Thank you ☺️

[@alariaesculenta8177]

Beautiful painting! Could you tell us what paper or board you're using ? I'm having such problem now with the type of paper, hot press or cold press wc, or illustration board. Do you ever use gesso ? I sometimes use transparent gesso. Thanks !!

[@brentpickens3371]

Sam, Do you frame these under glass like regular watercolors?

[@SamuelEarpArtist]

I haven’t framed any of my gouache paintings yet. I would frame it under glass like regular watercolours, yes 😊
