INTRODUCTION TO GOUACHE | A Beginners Guide - Materials, Blending, Techniques and more

[@BiggerinRealLife]

This was the best, most practical intro to gouache I’ve seen. Even being comfortable with the medium, I learned something and picked up a few new tricks. Well done!

[@al_sprays_paint8669]

I like how the video gets straight to the point

[@mrs.m.b.3630]

I agree!

[@Tamaradraws]

Agreed! I’ve seen multiple intros and this is by far the clearest!

[@hearthstorytelling4971]

Thank you! That was really helpful. I have a lot of exploring to do! ❤

[@sunnyschramm9650]

so true 🥰

[@ericswain4177]

As an art collector for years, I have gained a profound appreciation for GOUACHE artworks over time and have collected them.

[@laurenmaureen]

I am completely new to painting in general. I’ve dabbled in painting when I was a kid using acrylics, but it’s been many years since I’ve touched a paintbrush. It might be crazy to start with gouache, but I’m so drawn to it. Thank you for this incredible tutorial! I’ve ordered my supplies and I’ll be starting here!

[@Freederick1]

This is a wonderful media. Very natrual, logical and clean. You don't even need soap to clean it up. You can paint over what you painted and is also somewhat removal able. It is spontaneous and very forgiving. Definantely a worthy artistic adventure. I encourage you to give it a try.

[@GlamGoddes101]

I’m starting with gouache too! I love watercolor and I’ve fallen in love with the type of artwork people create with gouache

[@TheDog2137]

@@Freederick1thank you for those words! I just bought gauche paints and needed some encouragement

[@Yomi-san]

I was an art student many years ago and it only just occurred to me that we used guache but at no point was I given any tips. I learnt more in 10 minutes of watching this video than my first year of art college. Thank you.

[@TrademarkedIPAdress]

This is the most helpful video I’ve found. Just bought a 24 set of gouache, and after going through a blind attempt earlier to just learn things on my own, I quickly felt _very_ confused. And then I found your video! Thanks so much for making such a simple yet informative beginners video. More power to you! ☺️

[@theobolt250]

PERRRRR FECT! Every instruction video should be like this. Clear and precise matter of fact presentation. Also insightful where technique and how to-stuff is concerned. In other words: the ideal starting point! It has made me enthousiast to pick it up again! Thank you!

[@lolitaras22]

I used gouache as a pro illustrator and comix artist from 1990 till 2005 when I digitalized almost fully my workflow. I studied painting in the art school and used many different mediums. High quality gouache has a terrific resistance in time compared to other colors on paper.

[@phoenix.maximus]

i went to art school after graduating high school and the first thing we had to do was get a gouache set and i had never even heard of it before. i ended up learning alot of what you demonstrated just through experimentation, but a crash course would have been great! nice video and paintings

[@jackconnelly4525]

Thanks , I have been painting for about 55 years on oil, acrylic and watercolor,,,but just bought some gouache.You have taught me some great things to start out . I humbly thank you as I start.

[@spetruck1]

Honestly everything I could have asked for in an introduction to gouache. Thank you, Jess Chung

[@ikariiprince]

We all start somewhere. I’m glad to be here with a lot of other beginners trying something new!! No matter what age or where you’re at in life never stop learning As Jake the dog said: “sucking at something is the first step to being kinda good at something”

[@charliepea]

I've had my gouache and watercolour set for months already and among the two, I like gouache. It feels more painterly and more convenient than watercolour, and although it's a bit harder to use, I do like the challenge. Gouache is like if acrylic could be reactivated.

[@sylwiafusiek646]

This is the best gouache introduction I’ve seen! It’s to the point, quick and easy to start with! Love it! Off to the store to buy my first gouache set!

[@_starry__skies_8855]

In high school I watercolored a lot, and now I've graduated university and wanted to try painting with something thicker than watercolor. You inspired me and helped me figure out that gouache was what I was looking for! Thank you and I'll try all this out!

[@YenDraws]

Great insight about gouache characteristic and I started to love gouache and use more often for painting🤩

Thanks so much for this! I have zero experience with gouache, but have wanted to give it a try for a while now, so bought my first gouache set today... and your tutorial is going to be my first step! Super helpful, inspiring and hugely talented - I think this channel is about to become a fav for me!! 🙏🏼❤️🎨

[@TicTocRobotSnot]

Just be aware that you’ll probably want to avoid acrylic gouache since it does not re-activate. One more thing I would share is if you are adding to a layer and don’t want to reactivate the color(s) underneath you can use a workable fixative spray to set the previous layer. Those are the only two things I would’ve added to this excellent video.

[@DavZell]

This is one of the best introductions I've watched. You got a lot of information and then concise examples in. Thank you.

[@mariashamieh]

Yesterday I bought gouache for the first time i searched how to use it and now i made 5 gouche paintings and they are extremely beautiful i used blending technique, the star and the mist, bleeding, glazing, thank you so much and you earned a new subscriber 💗

[@sophiotadena]

I'm just gonna cry. I've been searching a good tutorial for gouache but in my language I couldn't find any, not a single. And you where the answer to everything. Thank you so so much for this. You are a great teacher and finally I can get this technique.

[@saramullaji5635]

I lovee your tutorials Jess! It's amazing to see how you can teach so well in a short amount of time! Thankyou!

[@DannySabraArt]

Wow Jess! This is one of the most informative and yet concise videos on Gouache that exist on youtube. Excellent job. I will be referring everyone who asks me about gouache to this video. Well done and beautiful artwork as well!

[@JessChungArt]

Thanks so much Danny!

[@beebopcola]

@Jess Chung This is a great, concise, and well made video. I watched this with my 9 year old to get her excited about the gouache set she got for her b-day. She ran off full of ideas at the ending. Thanks!

[@ady_kotidou]

I just started using gouache (I have done only 2 animal/creature paintings so far) and videos like this one are extremely helpful! Thanks for sharing!!

[@ady_kotidou]

@@nemo6261 aw thank you!! To be honest, nowadays I never color anything due to lack of time and motivation. My art consists of sketches. 😅

[@nemo6261]

@@ady_kotidou well you totally should!! from what I've seen so far, looks hella good.

[@chrischurchley7003]

Hi Jess! I just completed this tutorial - my first adventure in gouache and I am very encouraged with the results 👍. Thank you so much 👏😁

[@mj_dolman5122]

Thank you for being so technical and detailed. Before finding this video I tried watching a couple of other gouache tutorials but they were just someone painting some random thing without explaining basic stuff, like how much water to use or why. I have many years of experience with acrylics and watercolours, so I need to know exactly how to change my technique for gouache and this tutorial has given me some good tips to get started.

[@wileycom]

I just subscribed after watching this superb demo. Excellent job! I have always been curious about gouache but, being a beginner, hesitated to go near it. You have changed my mind and given me inspiration! Many thanks!

[@avitallockhart1162]

Thank you so much for softly and smartly getting us into this procedures. You’ve made it look attractive and comfortable even though it’s not easy and I appreciate it so much that you got right into it, showed every part practically for beginners like me 🦋🙏

[@riverosillustration]

So much useful content in this video! And your little paintings are gorgeous!!!

[@ninanoorable]

this is the best gouache introduction i've ever watched. precise and packed. Thank you so much!

[@bobbiegraham7729]

Great video. I have gouache but have limited myself to using just the white. Your video has given me more basic information that I need to move forward. Really well done!

[@dillardparker7546]

I like the way that you progressed through the techniques and applications--very clear and concise.

Best intro to this medium I've seen so far! Many thanks for all these tips and tricks

Does anyone else feel that she could also be one of those self meditating count therapists for sleeping. I swear her voice is so soft, and very calming. However, a great teacher as well. Kudos

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Jess, This is a wonderful introduction to Gouache! You present the qualities of gouache and basic pragmatic techniques that will give everyone a great start to working with gouache, thank you.

[@earth_and_spice]

How lucky to have landed on this one as the first video I've watched. So glad I looked into what gouache is - I'm looking forward to trying it out with your mini tutorial of 6 little paintings. Thank you!

[@apaiiyui8488]

That was a really nice complete gouache tutorial 😳 It stays simple, with details and the exercises you show are really do-able, so thank you ! I'll defenitly follow this and try the 6 mini paintings too, they are really cute and have alot of to learn on them ☺️ Thank you for the video !

[@tigerkitten8352]

I am so happy you are appearing in my algorithm. I want to learn to paint more cuz I really enjoy it but dont get how to do it right. I love how you explain things and I finally am starting to understand things! I really want to start with some watercolor and figure out how to do that, and gouche really seems fun and like something I want to try when I can get watercolor understood and executed well!

[@Alan-ov2qu]

Excellent intro. Everything you need to get going. Couldn't have been more concise. Well done

I love this video. Very simple and straight to the point..thank you!

This is super informative and helpful for a beginner. I've always been scared of gouache and you got me super excited to start with it!

[@Mchelle021]

Very helpful content. I've been working too thinly and struggling. I'm so used to watercolor media and finding it a stretch to use gouache and acrylics. Glad this video showed up on my search.

[@andreamartin1957]

So glad you made this video!! Really eye opening for Gouache.

[@Kityileung]

Finally some some can tell me the differences among acrylic, gouache and watercolor! And also the technique of layering of gouache and watercolor. I’ve been painting with acrylic for many years and want to try watercolor and gouache as well. I knew watercolor could be reactivated but saw many videoes just demonstrating layering without telling the trick. And nobody could answer me the difference between gouache and watercolor (I even asked them.) so I never worked up the courage to try them.

[@stackofpancakes]

Hi, just wanted to say a huge thank you for this video, because i just made what i consider my first proper gouache drawing after learning these techniques and it turned out super well!!

[@jamiefinch3785]

Oh wow, I had never even thought to regularly spritz my palette while using gouache! That's been one of my biggest peeves--my mixed paint dries out and then needs to be reactivated, but it just isn't the same afterward, and I end up giving up and mixing more paint. Such a simple tip, but you've saved me so much headache! Thank you, thank you!!

[@mylapierce20]

i am an experienced painter but wanted to experiment with guache, this was a perfect crash course! thank you so much!! ❤❤❤
