"Doodle" For god's sake Scott that's a full piece it only took you 90 minutes because of the medium and techniques and the literal decades of experience you carry around.

[@FletcherCollier]

Lol, but it's cause he is a MASTER of the art of sketch

Gouache is so much fun to play with. Being able to lay down opaque layers, blend, and lay down transparent washes with the same medium is really user friendly. It’s like oil paint and watercolor had a baby, and gave us the best of both worlds

Hey Scott, I’m drawing Travis Scott right now

All the luck, everyone!

[@TofuBoy1]

There’s something implicitly satisfying about your brilliant line work and brush work… You make lovely art :D

[@ssavaart]

Thank you so much 😀

[@ct691]

Thanks scott! I tried picking up gouache a few months ago and did 1 piece but got scared off from people online talking about how hard it is. It’s refreshing to hear your positive attitude

[@random_sword4631]

I love gouache, its gotten me out of art block multiple times, because you dont need to think too much, and its actually fun. It reminds me all the reasons i love drawing!!

[@lukekartavov2002]

It’s very unique and interesting (in a good way) how you paint/layer mediums. I find it cool how you layer different colors that don’t seem like that they are there and it turns out so good.

[@shydill6745]

I have never mixed mediums! I'll have too try it foreal... I use alot of greens in portraits

[@batt_luvs]

I GOT GOUACHE YESTERDAY SCOTT HOW DID YOU KNOW??

[@AndersonOlivei]

He's a wizard. The day that I got colored pencils he made the colored pencils video

[@ssavaart]

I made this video just for you. ♥

[@Finnick75]

Yeah he's just all knowing 🤷

[@spamhands6993]

I also am not a fan of the texture of acrylic. Even though it dries fast, I have trouble seeing if it's still wet, since it's still shiny when dried. Also, may I suggest a video on how to properly dispose paint water? I feel like it's a topic that isn't talked about much, since it's not a very glamorous topic.

[@shoconutdank]

loving the contrast between cool and warm tones!! definitely inspires me to experiment more :)

[@MeanColleen]

Let go and show no fear should be every artist's motto.

[@RinnoaMika1]

Just a reminder that art always starts off weird. Dont be dissapointed ❤

[@panda_queen9544]

These "everything I know about..."videos are so helpful to me! They really give some helpful pointers for my art so that you sm🐼💜

[@tessarudolph2536]

Hi Scott!! I’m a high school artist hoping to be an illustrator one day. It’s my goal this summer to try out as many new art supplies as possible, and gouache and oil paints are at the top of my list!! I’m definitely going to be referencing this video a lot when I first attempt gouache, so thanks so much!!

[@TheMkropp]

I saw your watercolor live! My suggestion for next medium: everything I know about acrylic!

[@martian877]

Thanks for this video! Very helpful to me and I'm loving the "Everything I Know About" videos!

[@Awusa]

this inspired me even more to start with gouache. Beautiful color choices! Thank you for this video.

[@cassandracleveland]

Thank you for this video! I have not ever used gouache but have wanted to since watching your videos. I really need to get over the fear and try it

[@linguine4251]

I just wanted to say that after seeing your short where you said how you see skin tones and colors others don’t, that even though I can’t see all the blues and greens you do I think it’s so beautiful that you can see all these colors in people. ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing your worldview in your art and inspiring people. I’ve been following you for the last few years and my art has immensely improved, so thank you for everything.

[@WilliamM22]

Hey Scott! I tried Himmi Gouache a while back and really struggled to use it correctly. i sort of just painted it like it was a watercolour and it ended up looking just wrong. i kept it and retried it but am still practising and this helped a lot, thank you!

[@daleshawn1910]

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing your beautiful painting.

[@CartoonyAndor19]

I was just starting out on gouache (which incidentally, you inspired me to do), so this video couldn’t have been better timed!! Thank you Scott, this was really useful, but also just… cozy!

[@Joey_Marlin23]

Starting my gouache journey today! Thanks again for the tips!❤️❤️

[@aria4554]

Been waiting for this!! Super interested in gouache since the first video I saw of you!!

[@tipsy_stars]

as someone who’s only now is seriously about learning traditional art, this is absolutely helpful!! the process really helps and the way you explain helps so so much ! i am really thankful i found your channel ❤

[@monsterman1142]

Fun! I haven't watched yet, but i remember you starting to really play with these

[@artscopedia5272]

Thank you so much for this info ..I want to try out gauche and this is very helpful 🙏. Love from Kenya 🇰🇪

[@user-mj1qp2qv6k]

That was sooo helpful!!!

[@Finnick75]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I was messing around with my himi gouache and was hoping you would have the tutorial on gouache today! Just a question, what brushes do you use? And not just the brand, but what shapes and style?

[@ssavaart]

I'll use any brushes, really. But the round ones with the point.

[@barbararibeiro6426]

Hey there! Have you decided what medium to do for Friday's video? You could do acrylics or acryla-guache, since it's something you have some experience with that. I don't know how much you like other mediums like graphite or crayons... I remember you don't like pastels! 😅

[@AmeliadoingArt]

Scott thanks for the video I paint in gouache a lot you made me understand gouache much more thank you 😄

[@final_queer]

Watching you work is so helpful. I just picked up some gouache and I'm excited to try it out now.

[@Kitcat821]

Another great video! Thank you for sharing you art knowledge! I think I might try gouache soon 😄

[@hallows7568]

The way you color is so magical. The way you take a large variety of colors and slap them together to make a beautifully unique, yet cohesive piece is amazing. My favorite part is that it isn't magic at all. It's an accumulation of practice and skills to make any piece in any medium stunning - Also, the gloss thing speaks to me the more I think of it. It makes me think of posters or books that have a gloss that is a bit tacky(?) so if you rub it too hard it creates an awful squeak/rubbing sensation.

[@soniiqzvq9263]

Hey Scott, I really like your longer videos they help me alot to get better at art. May I ask you if you can share which specific winsor & newton gouache colors you use, I can't find them on your website. I really appreciate your work. much love

[@ricky7111]

Gouache is my favorite! And I've been learning how to mix media lately. I like to start with a layer of watercolor, then add gouache, and then go in areas and soften them with soft pastels or define areas with dip pens and ink. I will also start with a pale blue pencil and not erase it, and I love the character it gives when you can subtly still see it at the end.

[@ElisabethHeinemann]

That was more helpful and on point than some of the online courses I know. Thank you very much 🙏🏼

[@Happydays913]

OMG Thank You for making this video it was really helpful❤❤

[@ArsonTheShroom]

It looks so cool :D

[@El_Famos]

i gtg right when the live start TvT

[@alicemicheletti8991]

I love watching your videos!! I would like to come back to rewatch this video once i get gouache! I love watercolours so hopefully ill like it, also just a fun question, since you paint a lot of musicians, have you ever drawn someone from metric?

[@jadeaca7956]

Great video! I really learn a lot from your videos, I'm an artist too and your art is a great inspiration to me, especially your portraits, your way of art nouveau, the hair journal and more. I like the playful and colorful touch you add to your paintings. Btw, Doc looks great. Have a nice day!

[@Charfly]

Thank you so much for this video! I tried gouache for the first time a few days ago. I struggled most with waiting for the paint to dry between each layer because I'm impatient. I usually draw with fineliners, coloured pencils and markers so you dont have to wait. I love all your art ❤

[@alicemicheletti8991]

The way you block in shapes is so cool

[@lirila33]

Absolutely inspiring ❤

[@Aceofdiamondss]

this is awesome! could you do one on graphite or pencil drawing?

[@HueTheFew]

He looks like a blended rainbow in the face, and your video shows all the tones under the paper too as you layered. Lovely video Scott

[@greifenreiter247]

Every time I see your videos I think "wow, this art is so cool! I'll never draw stuff in a style as cool as this (don't want to say good because good is personal)" but then I need to remind myself that you have had more time practicing than I have had on this earth, I think, and that makes it feel... better. I love your art, I love the videos you make, and it inspires me to continue and try to get better and happier with what I create :)

[@gooseontheloose8207]

Hey Scott! This video helped me a lot! I don’t really use gouache very much, and I’m starting to use it more than I used too. This video really helped me understand gouache just that little bit more! I was wondering, as someone who just is obsessed with watercolour pencils, if you could maybe try them out! I’m fairly new to your KZbin so I’m not sure if you have tried them already. If you haven’t I would really recommend them! They help a lot with adding that extra bit of detail, and can make masterpieces just by themselves! Thanks so much for making these videos!

[@ssavaart]

I did try them about 2 years ago. kzbin.inforoPda2uTsNM

[@user-mn4fw7hk7w]

Recently started using gouache and Scott speed paints have been more than just helpful ❤❤❤

[@DenisovichDev]

Hey Scott... Thank you for keep inspiring me everyday.

[@charlesking8943]

Thank you so much, I learned a lot. I am an artist but not tried gouache till today. So this was a great tutorial, amazing. I’m really looking forward to trying this. Now to create a subject matter n create a design.

[@Bear-bt4kx]

Yay I’m so happy you did this video I just got new gouache paint and this really helped me!!! Thank you for the help!! 😁

[@CoyoteWildFlower]

Hi Scott, watching you paint in gouache the other day my little auADHD suddenly understood how to do it. So at 70 I just received my first set of HIMI tubes and my first tin pallet because those looked pretty cool too. Now I'm off to try my first gouache landscape. Thanks Scott for the inspiration.

[@theJellyBeanies]

Im trying to get into gouache so im glad you made this video so i can know the basics ❤😊

[@ankigatoni6967]

Beautiful pic beautiful talk! This is my favourite medium combo for you❤

[@TommijeanHagwood-nj2bx]

This has got me trying to see fancy colors in my Brown colored horses 😂 loved this video and I learned so much! Thank you Scott❤

[@violdamor]

Great, Scott! ❤

[@rotemnoff1458]

Hey scott! in the live yesterday you asked what u should try to paint with next. i suggest you use pastel crayons or oil pastel crayons. they are easy to blend , and very fun to work with! you should try them. :)

[@ethelkeller6814]

Gosh, that was joyful! What a great teachert you are!! Thank you, I really learned a lot. (I love gouache too, and now I now more and love it even better;=)

[@mikapekoyama6583]

This video inspired me to buy gouache for myself, and it actually helped me find my art style. Thank you, Scott

[@user-uo2lh3fj1i]

Hey Scott could you do a video about water colour I’ve been doing it for I think one and a half years but I can’t seem to get it right I’ve watched all your shorts about it and if you don’t feel like it that’s fine your shorts have helped me a LOT thanks for all you do

[@melissarounds786]

I have such an itch to try gouache. I love the idea of how forgiving it is should I get distracted (i.e. mama to *young children*) and need to come back later. That said, I am so amazed by all the colors you see in the skin. I am colorblind and was mind blown by your descriptions. Skin sounds so lovely through your eyes.

[@olives6924]

Hello, i'm loving ❤❤ the 'everything i know about...' series the videos are making me want to explore new mediums, i was wondering if you know anything about pastel or if you've tried it before.

[@mirandaleighton4216]

this video is so helpful! im irrationally terrified of gouache but this seems more possible! is this Bristol paper? what's the best type of paper to use gouache? watercolour paper?

[@lcomfort8683]

Amazing!

[@Olivia-zl9dv]

if u haven't already, I'd love a video like this about watercolor :D

[@alwayska14]

Really loving these explanation videos. Open the dam. We need more of em😂😂

[@TCHARRISON1]

I'd love to see you create one of your masterpieces using water soluble coloured pencils. Love your work.💙😊

[@sarahdc288]

Hey Scott, this came out very nice 😊 You inspired me to try making the skin looking more vibrant and interesting so I tried to use more pinks and blues and purples and yellows and greens (...) in a digital portrait, but it just looked like he was beaten up 😅 I would love to know more about the way you're choosing where the colours makes sense. 😊 And I have a suggestion for you: There are waterbased oil paints from schminke. The line is called Norma blue and it is all vegan and environment friendly. Maybe you would like to try them or did you already do or heard of it? :) I haven't tried them but I plan to do. I want to try new mediums to hopefully find something to bring my passion about art back to life 😁 Thank you so much for always encouraging us ❤🤗 Greetings 🍀

[@dracolegend7739]

I agree with you on the paint shine, I definitely prefer a matte finish. Also, something about blended graphite pencils, it’s just too smooth 😅 I usually leave it textured with scribbles and crosshatching

[@randomkirakira9796]

Thank you for the wonderful art and videos ❤ I am struggling with gouache. I use too much water bcs I'm used to doing watercolor so seeing u paint with my gouache motivates him to try gouache again and try different colors ❤ The hairdryer is so smart and u can paint much faster 😮 Thank you for the wonderful art❤❤❤

[@victoriasewell7630]

Scott, you're the best art teacher I've ever had ❤

[@ssavaart]

I am honored. ♥

[@mhwpaint]

honestly beautiful technique-

[@Artiststuff112]

I can’t WAIT 😆

[@Cupcake_Of_Sunshine]

Thank you for all of your encouragement to young artists like me, your videos always help my imposter syndrome when I'm working on a piece.

[@LottaPox]

I wish I could try gouache someday, it looks so fun!

[@omargeddonthemighty]

I LOVE IT 🤩

[@louiekat4477]

Omg… I had heard the name gauche but never knew what it was. But I think it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for in a paint medium. I can’t wait to go out and get some to start experimenting with.

[@dudeimbusy]

Hit that like button

[@ghost-qy8xp]

For himi gouache users, it would probably good to know that if not cared for correctly it can mold ☠ but other than that i think gouache is an amazing medium and becuase of this video i was inspiried to finally buy another set to use and start painting again

[@Mr_Lev9]

Hi Scott, Could you please do a tutorial on how to draw faces the way you do i would really appreciate it

[@seanh2785]

Ty! ❤

[@vickyking3408]

please publish a how to draw book xx

[@gemma4227]

was just thinking about getting into gouache and found this video! what type of paper of paper is best for gouache?

[@artonthecreek]

Thank you, Scott. The eyes. This video helped me realize maybe I’m just not finished when I try to paint portraits. I am much more practiced in drawing portraits or using pastels. Somehow when that brush is in my hand, I feel limited to animals, flora & landscapes or still life. Doc’s eyes were really cartoony at first… but you kept tweaking. I just need to keep going. Thank you.

[@ssavaart]

Yeah. Sometimes you have to keep going back to your reference to see what's different. Just keep comparing till you find what's off

[@jjcymbolic]

I've wanted to work with gouache forever! One day I'll commit to purchasing them, but it's good to learn and see techniques people use for themselves until then.

[@ima.ekenes]

I heard about guash for the first time a couple of years ago! Was blown away by opaque paint that doesn't ruin your brush if you forget to rinse it!!😆

[@agold1702]

Scott, if you use gouache for your underpainting doesn’t that interfere with the next layer and blend in? Or do you use an acrylic wash? Thanks for any help 😊

[@galactic-pirates47]

Oh! I hoped you would do this video ❤ I get confused. You have talked about gouache and then acrylic gouache, and I am never sure when looking at your portfolio which you are using, and what is best. I’m thinking this video is standard gouache? Is it harder or easier with gouache to get the right level of water, than with watercolour? I struggle and I’m never sure if it’s too much water, or not enough. I was thinking of experimenting with gouache but I don’t know what kind to get. Regular or acrylic, as while I get the difference between them (acrylic can’t be reactivated) I don’t know what that makes them good for in terms of the types of art they make/how easy they are to use.

[@RinnoaMika1]

Can you tell us how to pick the "undertone" colors? Without it, my colors look boring and they just dont pop.

[@aneesha3826]

Sir please make a painting with my favorite medium oil paints ....

[@edvard-swift3645]

Amazing

[@ChantelleArts]

I had never compared jelly gouache to mcdonalds sauces but you're absolutely right 😂😂

[@juliehamel8330]

Gouache is great for experimenting, it' so forgiving. I have the himi paint for now, using it liberally to experiment, finding some courage, one day i might invest in the better stuff when i'm done with my nugget sauce.

[@starshifter4]

I could never really figure out watercolor or gouache. Maybe acrilic but not too much. I'm most comfortable with pens, pancils and markers. Still cool to watch

[@isabellasamuelsson7257]

everything I know about paint pens??? (love your videos)

[@staceyros]

hey, like 20 yrs ago lol, in college we did a paint study with gouache and i cant remember what type for the life of me...we did a thing that we added water to the paint to make a solid mix..outlined the part we wanted that color then filled the middle..and it dried to a solid color...any idea if that was tube or cake..really want to try it again..thanks

[@charlizeevangeline6084]

Oh nooo i missed the live 😭😭😭😭😭
