Today Gouache practice

2024/9/15 Edited to

... Read moreGouache, a versatile water-based paint, is loved by artists for its opacity and vibrant colors. Many artists appreciate its ability to create both matte and glossy finishes, making it suitable for a variety of projects, from fine art to crafts. When working with gouache, remember to use thick, heavy paper to prevent warping. Experimenting with different techniques, such as layering and wet-on-wet, allows for creative expression and unique textures. Additionally, consider incorporating mixed media into your gouache work; combining it with watercolor or ink can result in stunning contrasts and effects. Moreover, explore the importance of color theory when using gouache. Understanding how colors interact can enhance your artwork, bringing depth and emotion to your compositions. Practice regularly and share your progress using the related hashtags like #gouache and #Lemon8Diary. Embrace the journey of art-making, and don't hesitate to share your unique creations with the ever-growing community of artists.

My second painting ever using Gouache
I’d show my first Gouache painting but it’s atrocious. It is NOTHING like acrylic 💀 I would have added more detail but it’s 12am and I have work at 5am 🌚 I’m using a whole sketch book dedicated to learning gouache so one day I can master it :) I also ordered more art supplies for prime day 😈
