Hope this video helps you handle gouache a little better! Hit the thumbs up button if you learned something new today and let me know if you want me to finish the big runway line up in a future video!

I just found this channel and I can already tell I'm in love with it!!!

[@CassandraMiles]

I usually watch KZbin videos at 1,5-2x speed, but I actually watched this whole video at normal speed because it was so interesting and well explained. Thank you!

[@jamiekanda9872]

I definitely would love to watch a video in which you complete the multi illustration. The uncolored illustration is very beautiful, and I can’t wait to see it all done, with hair, and jewelry and all the sparkles.

I've been looking for a good tutorial about gouache and man oh man. Thank you. All artist channel did not do justice like you did here. 😘

[@jazmeen04]

Thank you Zoe, please more gouache demos

[@veaudor]

This has got to be the best tutorial on gouache that I've ever had the pleasure of watching. I learned so much! I'm experienced in handling this media, and I love it. But, I've always had problems blending it and making it look painterly. This might be because, at work, we had to render solely in flats and I never got passed that ... til just now. Incidentally, we used white bottled poster paint for mixing colors; it may not be as opaque as tube paint (unless you let it sit a while to thicken) but it's cheaper. We used bristle brushes to restore dried paint; it works better with large batches. I think I'll watch this at least 3 more times!! Thanks!

[@zoehongteaches]

Thanks! Yes, I can see how using the poster paint would be more cost efficient for big batches. What do you, if you don't mind me asking?

[@IHaveNoLaifu]

Usually my gouache paintings look like watercolor but I love watching people use gouache opaque. I have a literal stack of unfinished/scrapped opaque paintings because my blending technique sucks. This cleared up so much

[@zoehongteaches]

Happy to help!

[@nhinasvensson9403]

Thank you for the tutorial. Just what I've been hoping you would go through!

[@barbaralong5209]

@5:56 Glycerine and honey (humectants) keep watercolors/gouache wet for more work time

[@tydelbarrio9193]

Thanks so much for making this video 🙏 im a bit of a beginner with gouache so this made my day ☺️

[@ivanadzidic4012]

This is fantastic! So in love with the designs in this tutorial...and the illustrated girls are so pretty....it's great that you also explain what kind of brushes we need to use with gouache. I need to learn how to use gouache but I still haven't mastered watercolour. I mostly work with oil paints and acrylics because that's what we use in the art course I'm taking..btw Using a toothpick to mix colour is such a cool hack, I need to remember that.

[@zoehongteaches]

I think that working with opaque gouache is closer to working with acrylic than watercolor, if you do the whole illustration opaque. Good luck! I love the toothpicks but I think I'm going to get some very small metal sticks so I can have reusable mixing sticks. Maybe kid size chopsticks.

[@towardsthelight4919]

Thank you learned so much from this can I ask what black do you use in this illustration is it ivory or jet black and why ?🙏

[@tatekkasem9586]

[@rafaelasantana6765]

Wonderful😍😀😘👏👏👏👏

[@mobandy64]

Do you have or could you make videos on the very basics of understanding where to put shadows and highlights? This would be very helpful for me.

[@zoehongteaches]

Check my General Illustration Basics playlist.

[@suzannebeyer5369]

Yes please do finish the football fashion line up. It is my fave! I’m begging you to put up a copy of the line drawing in your Etsy shop. I really want to print it, paint it and put it up in my craft studio!!!

[@zoehongteaches]

No, I'm not going to put the line drawing up. There are some things I need to keep for myself, in between client work and youtube stuff.

[@ianjackson5834]

try a jacksons art raven brush and there icon range, great brushes

[@ianjackson5834]

Gouache: Watercolor, but E X T R A T H I C C This is why I'm considering gouache next because they can use white unlike watercolor. ❤

[@zoehongteaches]

hahahahaha yesssss

[@theredrover3217]

That unknown sketch… I have those pants. Denim, around 25 years old 😁 if that helps. 😉

[@ianjackson5834]

for Opaque Gouache its normal to paint on smooth illustration board, Bristol board for example the the texture in the paper is not a problem

[@evanscooper4684]

Zoe, I would like to put together an evening gown portfolio for job interviews. Where can I go to see an assortment of them and get ideas of proper layout and standard expectations? I tried behance.net, but I cannot seem to find fashion portfolios.

[@whiteblossom4077]

Fab

[@geckonia]

Your work is incredible. I have a question about the white. For those pants do you use the permanent or the zinc?

[@zoehongteaches]

Permanent

[@coreartalex6708]
