hello, I wanted to introduce myself my name is Gilberto Trinidad, would anyone get in our way if we get an ice cream on a Sunday afternoon?

[@glenda7921]

Soften or let the gouache “melt” - what a nice description and very beautiful technique. Thank you! 🇨🇦

[@paintingandchocolate]

You're welcome Glenda!

[@PaulaScardamalia]

I love your technique for making the gouache look like part of the painting instead of sitting on top that I learned in your basics course. Makes a difference.

[@paintingandchocolate]

Thank you Paula for letting me know, I'm glad it's a helpful one!

[@marymccaslin1690]

I really love the colors of sand and water❤

[@paintingandchocolate]

Thank you 🙂

[@mychellecobo3422]

You are so helpfull! Many thanks for all your tips in this and your other Videos. Your watercolourpencilvideos are eye opening for me. On top your way to explain is very enjoyable and elegant. I‘m glad I found such an adorable person and channel for my hobby on KZbin 😊 Greetings from Germany 🌸

[@paintingandchocolate]

I had a challenging past few weeks and you have no idea how I needed this today, you cheered me up, thank you! ❤️

[@mychellecobo3422]

⁠@@paintingandchocolateI watched your video about becoming a fulltime artist and artteacher. That was very inspirimg for me. I have „only“ two kids and feel life is so challenging and overwhelming at the moment. Can not imagine how it is with four kids and an own business. You must be very powerfull to manage this. In Germany many things changed the last few years. I‘m gratefull that we are all healthy and my husband has a save job. This basics are essential. So I hope, your life is not too exhausting and you still enjoy your family and your art. In your Videos you look always glad and I guess you are. Life is challenging for paremts and for artists. I think it‘s a tricky combination. But still the best way to live ❤

Great technique thx for sharing

[@paintingandchocolate]

You're welcome 🙂

[@dimitrap2505]

Salut Françoise! J'espère que vous allez bien! You are the queen of techniques! Thank you for your channel, I always learn something new from you!! Ps. I wanna buy watercolor pencils abut I am so afraid cause I don't understand how they work. Would you consider doing a similar demo with the pencils, incorporating the techniques to the actual painting process? You explain everything so nicely!

[@paintingandchocolate]

Hi Dimitra,.I made one like it 1 month back, a seascape with foam with watercolor pencils, where I talk about the supplies. I hope this helps!

[@MarciaBaldwin]

Excellent

[@paintingandchocolate]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🙂

[@rubyred794]

Thank you for sharing your skills and tips. So appreciated by so many of us. Can i ask if you soak yr paper first and then place on yr board with tape? Or do you prefer to wash over the whole sheet with a big brush? 💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@paintingandchocolate]

Thank you! I only wet the front with a paintbrush 🙂

[@yuleassagai1684]

White gouache is a great tool for watercolor paintings. May I ask if you wet the paper on both sides, and what surface you laid it on?

[@paintingandchocolate]

I just wet the front and I lay it on a mat designed for laptops.

[@yuleassagai1684]

@@paintingandchocolate Thank you. And great gouache technique and painting !

[@francinebrown1944]

Does your white gouche dry shiny or matte? I have Winsor & Newton permanent white gouche that dries shiny. Is this normal?

[@paintingandchocolate]

Mine is a bit shiny at an angle but it's discrete overall. There are matte types of white gouache and it will clearly say on the label, maybe try something like this?

[@francinebrown1944]

@@paintingandchocolate thank you so much.
