Simple Gouache Painting Ideas for your Sketchbook!

[@crysvisionaryart]

When the mind is stored with valuable ideas, hands start to work automatically by believing whatever comes from the mind's eye will be precious things for someone's eyes. You are good example to believe in our own capabilities and not to question how it's going to work.

Love this video! I haven't done any artwork for the past few weeks because I saw so many imperfections in them and feel bad for abandoning art :( Thank you for reminding me that art does not have to be perfect & I should just have fun instead!

[@VisualMind]

You're so welcome!

[@ThomasDobosz]

I know that feeling.

[@theseenchantedlands]

This is so pretty. Great color choices.

[@sabinelloyd8532]

Just ordered my 1st set of gouache. Can't wait to get started.

[@janinafisher101]

Wow. How stunning is is to have the dark background. And as I love leaf shapes I particularly loved that one!

[@carolsimmons9650]

I enjoyed your paintings. I was wondering if you could paint the dark/black background using acryla gouache and then paint the leaves on top using regular gouache without reactivating the first layer? When dry, does acryla gouache and regular gouache have the same matte finish?

[@TsukabuNosoratori2]

I love your acrylic gouache paintings, I don't have any of these. I do have regular heavy body Acrylics though. I plan on gessoing a page before using regular heavy body acrylics to protect it. I have clear gesso so that the texture of the pages show through in my Moleskine and Strathmore journals.

[@VisualMind]

Acrylics should work similarly compared to acrylic gouache 😊 Hope it goes well!

[@Jadeybez]

I haven't jumped on the Himi train yet! I so badly do, but shipping to my country is super dodgy, and takes sooo long. But watching you do these kinds of videos really makes me want to just get them anyway!

[@VisualMind]

I would say if you can't get them for cheap, don't get them. Most of their appeal is their affordability to be honest. I'd rather get higher quality paints if they're easier to get. Winsor and Newton are nice and smooth for example.

[@fuzzydragons]

i really like your little fishy 😀

[@SketcherAmitSharma]

Very beautiful💐

[@BlancaVarguesArt]

Amazing video!!😍

[@VisualMind]

Glad you liked it!!

[@VitasArtworks]

tolle ideen ^_^ mir hat das mit dem schwarzen Hintergrund mit am Besten gefallen ^_^

[@VisualMind]

Danke! :)

[@sabinalaskar3343]

where do you get these beautiful ideas from ?? it's such a beauty to watch how the art gets transformed from the reference. I would like to know any resources you use for getting ideas to draw because it's something currently I am struggling with.

[@VisualMind]

I just launched a course about filling sketchbooks and finding inspiration is a big part of the course - check it out here: melaniebleis.podia.com/the-ultimate-sketchbook-guide I hope it's helpful!! 😊

[@angela14962002]

💗💞💗

[@MoonSpinners]

Could you recommend a good washi tape please? I’m not sure what you use, but it looks really good. Thank you 🤗

[@VisualMind]

I like the ones from paper poetry or the ones you get at Ikea because they have the right stickiness for art. If you're just looking for beautiful patterns and happen to live in the US I'd go to Michaels :)

[@MoonSpinners]

@@VisualMind ..thank you. 🤗

[@lilynote2016]

What notebook is that? I’m always scared about doing both pages but I want to!!!

[@dianeo]

I love these designs! Thanks for the sketchbook tips. I'm looking forward to the print I ordered from your shop 😊 I hope you don't run out of the adorable free cat prints!

[@patvalenzuela5105]

Nice work, I have some quache but I’ve hesitated to use it, but now I might give it a try. Thank you! Sorry you are leaving.

[@VisualMind]

I'm not leaving KZbin, just closing my online shop :)

[@bmbrsgraffiti764]

goooood! 👍🏼

[@VisualMind]

Thanks!!

[@gattoallafesta]

Why are you closing your shop? So talented! You make me love the gouache even more!

[@VisualMind]

Thank you! Because I'm not really making much of a profit and it takes a lot of work and energy. Especially shipping from Europe since most orders come from the US causes a lot of issues.

[@gattoallafesta]

@@VisualMind i see, hope and pray for better timing to come your way! 🌺🌸🌻😃🙏🏻💕 You deserve it!!

[@joanpringle-canning2834]

🤗🤗🧡🧡💚💚💖💖🤗🤗

[@katgeorge7041]

A heat gun helps remove washi without tearing your pages! Great, inexpensive investment. Got mine at Harbor Freight for under $20!!!!!!

[@LizatHome]

Wow your work is so beautiful, the style appeals to me so much. I am very new to gouache and often wondered what acrylic gouache was. Do you offer classes on Skillshare? That’s the platform i prefer to learn on as I already have a subscription and can never seem to afford other courses.

[@VisualMind]

Yes I actually have a lot of beginner gouache courses there :) www.skillshare.com/r/user/visualmind?gr_tch_ref=on

[@aaryabhatt9195]

I really love this video thanks for reminding me that art sometimes doesn't need to be perfect it should be fun Btw can you plz make portrait with perfection 😊🥰😇❤

[@janvimyadventures1310]

It looks so pigmented

[@kajamaja7148]

Just realized i bought the wrong quache :D. I wanted to buy the acrylic ones. Well.. what can i do now

[@janvimyadventures1310]

What is the gsm of paper

[@lghtngblt]

Would Ink work to create the Dark background? Like india ink or even a Sharpie? Just something that is waterproof when dry that would still allow the paper underneath to absorb the paint without contaminating it?

[@VisualMind]

Might work! I'd do a test swatch to see if it works! :)
