Realistic Urban Sketching in Gouache
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июн 2022
- Here's a quick video where I paint some ordinary commercial shopfronts on an overcast day using gouache. To achieve realism and speed things up I use flat brushes and paint patches of color that I subdivide with dark strokes.

haha, didn't even realise the car going thru was edited to your painting, it's so well done ♡
How does he do that? His paintings look so real as it is
ikr I was mesmerized with his pen and only now realized those cars 🤣
Haha, James does that a lot in his videos. I love how creative he gets with these even though it's mainly about the painting.
It seems like the smaller you paint, the more impressive your work gets. I remember seeing one of your tiny paintings you did that was the size of a quarter. You're a painting wizard
Yes! Wizard of Dinotopia! 😀😀😀
Finally you Downloaded a new videoooooo 🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️
I loved the cars driving through the painting.
So obviously, I love the artwork, the style, the instructions, your positive attitude; but bar none, your outro is the best I've seen on youtube.
I recently subscribed and just realized you did Dinotopia! I cant even begin to tell you how much my husband and I loved those books, between paleontology and my art you are beloved in my home. We even still have the entire collection and have saved them for our own children.
I told my husband about your youtube channel and have come the closest to fan girl squeeling I have ever done in my life!
Wow... Iam lucky to watching your amazing skill... 💯👍👍👍👍👍
Watching your videos, I've learned so much about how important color is to the effect of realism. Furthmore, with regards to amount of detail, sometimes the general is better than the specific for tricking our eye into believing what we're seeing. Thanks for another great video! I learn so much from them.
Yeah it's quite the phenomenon in painting, where less detail is actually good. Goya and Sargeant were great at executing on this, off the top of my head.
Each video is a magical moment. Thanks for bringing beauty to a world like this
I dont even paint at all, but i cant stop looking yours vids. Congrats!!
You should try just buying one small brush and one color of paint, and fill up a notebook with quick paintings. Then add more colors in the second book.
Amazing
Beautiful James! Always cool to see how you elevate the ordinary with your sketches.
the real footage over your painting is superbly alpha keyed. 👌😋 delicious presentation and painting! hmmmph! 🤙✌
Amazing ♥️
I love how you paint thankyou so much you really inspire me to paint
Best on RUclips.
Awesome painting as always
Awesome - This is the thing to be doing when you get old for sure.
Wonderful painting, clever ending❗️
The final composite with the cars was unexpected and awesome
I like your Pilot 912 with the flex nib.
Great video!
Thank you so much for your videos, they're inspiring, educational and filled with joy. I always look forward to watching you paint! Thank you!! 💙
Congratulations James, it's amazing !
Very inspirational. Every painting you do captures the subject so realistically. I admire your creativity, talent and style. 👍🏾
Amazing how much you covered in less than two minutes here. I love the purplish color, and the neon "OPEN" sign is especially well done.
Simited palet, mundaine building on a regular day on the life. What could be better. Nothing. This is perfect plein air gurney
My first time watching and you mention a place close to where I used to live. I’m hooked now. BTW, I used to live in Poughkeepsie but had family in Kingston.
Very nice Mr.Gurney.I enjoy all your painting videoes
Wow, you made those cars so ralistic they drove themselves! :)) Good video! kinda short though, but with good advice about the brush, I always tend to use pointy brushes.
Absolutely amazing.
OH James!! Now you are just showing off! Looks great and yes your special effects are super fun too!!
Love the painting...and the cars driving through it! :)
Thank you Sir for sharing your knowledge 🙏❤
Omg that ending is SO cool! James, I’ve purchased nearly all your Gumroad classes and can appreciate that it’s a ton of work to edit and voice over videos. Would you ever be open to selling unedited, raw footages of the 1-3 minute videos that are on your channel? I personally enjoy the ‘ASMR’ aspect (no voice over, assuming that’s a tedious bit to do) and would certainly purchase the raw vid. Sort of similar to the oil painting techniques videos you made in the past!
As always, thanks for all that you do 😊
Sorry, I don't have additional footage on this one. I'll be doing some longer ones soon.
I just found your channel. Thank you for sharing your process.
The special effects aren't really necessary and if they slow you down then I wouldn't worry about them. Personally I'm more interested in seeing how you paint.
A lot of gouache paintings have a fantasy world feel. I see that you capture colors realistically, but it would be interesting to see you paint a modern location such as this with bold fantasy world colors.
So good! I love your videos 👍👍
Gosh, I would LOVE to visit and paint with you sometime. You make such mundane-looking things so beautiful.
That's funny you say that, because a RUclips watcher named Krystal randomly spotted us painting and hung out and sketched with us. Hi, Krystal, you rock!
Hey James! I learn so much from watching your plein air demos. Just wondering if you could do one using gouache where you paint picket fence, arbour and especially lattice structure? Have no clue how to tackle those tiny diagonal or square holes! And if you could talk about colour temperature when painting white structures in the shade. Hope these requests make sense!
Well that was a pretty short video James. Had to watch it more than once just to get enough of you working.
same! but such good tips in it anyway
thanks for sharing!
😍
Thank you for sharing this content
It`s Amazing!!!
those last few seconds totally messed with my head
Well done special effect !
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
amazing
Un placer ver su trabajo. Saludos!!
There is something about gouache like... The way it looks, the opaqueness, the rawness and roughness is so appealing to the eye. Your paintings reminds me of Kazuo Oga's works, because of that same reason. And if i remember correctly, they were using something similar to the gouache too. I hope i will reach to your level in near future.
Great way to past the time.😀
ak so fast! too short! I love your longer ones so I can sit and absorb everything about what and how you are painting! its fun when you put real life/moving things into your paintings!
Love your videos James, always so interesting. Go raibh maith agat (Thank you), from Ireland 🇮🇪
Would love to see you do something up
at Opus 40.
Amazing. Thanks for another video. I’m about to head out for another long term international trip. In addition to white what colors would be in your luggage? This would be gouache. Last year I did only tool Windsor and Newton primary set of white, red, blue, yellow and black. Thinking of adding burnt umber, yellow ochre, and maybe orange. What one green would you add? Any other colors you would want? Thanks!!!
I always love watching your videos. I noticed the posts are few and far between lately. Do you have other projects going or do you tend to take more time off these days.
As usual I send you 1000 likes!
This dudes a fuckin legend
Hi James..today I tried applied Dorlands wax one coat over my blue background...then applied another colour yellow...I noticed that however I rubbed the yellow with water I didn't smudge with blue and wax accepted gouache as it is...it's beautiful and useful...that means I could apply a layer of gouache without messing up with underneath layer? Is this real? Please comment. I usually use Dorlands wax for final varnish of my watercolour and Gouache.
Hi james
what happens if you use guache on a pre-primed canvas? would it not work properly? i saw a woman paint a small penguin on a non gessoes canvas but she never said if there was a reason
Today im going to make a urban skeching
Hell yeah do it dude.
Oh my my my did you make those little material indicator arrows yourself physically infront of some sort of green screen or are they just virtual edits?!??
Yes, they're actual cardboard arrows painted black and dangled over a cake pan full of green liquid.
Question :
How many times do you let the paint dry before adding another layer? Or do you just paint the entire piece in one shot
Many thanks in advance
With gouache, it dries in a couple minutes, so overlapping strokes are no problem.
@@JamesGurney Alternate question : I know you don't do a lot of blending in your sketches but if you had to blend dry paint that you had already laid down what would your approach be ? Would you re-wet it, or put more paint down on top? I've sometimes very lightly misted the section, but that can be problematic. And using a wet brush will often lift the paint.
What kind of brushes do you need for gouache? Are my watercolor brushes ok?
Yes, watercolor brushes work fine. I use mostly synthetic rounds and flats.
@@JamesGurney cool, thank you for the response!!
I liked it better without the ink lines tbh
I DONT understand how u do this with guash or watercolor....

Too short. I was just getting into the video and it was over 😔
