Paint a rainy landscape in gouache

For this project I used the following materials:
~Field Artist sketchbook

~Kingart 1/2” angled flat, size 4 round and size 1 liner
~Artify size 9 & 11 round
~Scotch magic tape

my mum was having a bad day so her and i sat down and decided to do something relaxing together. i just bought some gouache and thought this would be a fun first try. my mum and i arent painters so there were a lot of giggles and "whaaaat? how did she do that??"s and, though our paintings certainly dont look as beautiful as yours, we had a lovely time following your tutorial and learning and experimenting. this totally turned our day around and i just wanted to thank you for making these videos and allowing people to learn and be inspired to create with you, no matter their level of experience. thank you for making us happier, i cant wait to follow more of your tutorials!

[@RuthWilshaw]

Ah thank you so much for this- you have made my day 🤩 I’m so glad that you and your mum enjoyed the video! 💕💕

[@JessiTheBestiGaming]

No one makes perfectly beautiful paintings their first few times.. in fact, you may not see improvement for the first 10-20 pieces. But if you stick with it, you WILL see improvement. My husband is an artist, and he informed me that literally everyone starts out making imperfect art. What separates good artists from mediocre is that the good artists KEPT going. Also, don't judge a piece until you are done with it. Every piece of art looks messy and weird until you are 100% done.. just keep going, you will get better!

Hello Ruth. This is the first easy to follow, calm, clearly instructed teaching on Gouache that I have ever heard. Your calm beautiful voice makes me relax and I can follow the instruction really well. Will there be more coming soon? I really hope so. What country are you from? I am in the UK. All the best to you and yours. Thank you for this video.

[@RuthWilshaw]

Hi Carly! Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m very happy that you found the video helpful! I am working on more videos 💕 I’m in Texas. Stay safe!

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

@@RuthWilshaw that's fantastic that you are making more videos like this one! Will they be on this channel though? Are you making them during lockdown? I am fascinated, what is Texas like? If it has weather like here in the UK, the sun is out most of the day at present and our baby tomato plants love it! I love watching things grown, it makes me really happy. Reading, art, and growing things give me so much satisfaction. Do you have hobbies? What do you like to paint most? Once again a big thank you for the fantastic video and for messaging me back. God bless and keep you happy and well. 8n Jesus Name. Amen.

[@sober8silverdreamz]

As if your painting process wasn't calming enough, you voice is really soothing. As if I'm listening to a sleep story on calm ♥️

[@RuthWilshaw]

Lol, that’s very kind of you! Just don’t fall asleep while you’re painting! 😂💕

[@mythribg3349]

Hi Ruth! Hope you read this. This was one of the first few painting I did with gouache wayyy back in mid 2020. Made me fall in love with the medium. Thank you so much
