Thanks for watching! 💛 Something very exciting is coming soon! 👀
I love watching people paint with gauche. You really have to trust the process and the product never fails to put me in awe.
I love watching people paint with gouache too! Definitely a "trust the process" medium haha! Thanks so much for watching 😊
Emily, your art is so beautiful and honestly, your art matches your very nice and calming personality! It's like you draw from within, I feel like, and you can feel personality even in these sketches. Even the stuff you mention that you don't know/understand yet, you know how to recover from your art mistakes and fix the painting in a way to make it work and it just looks so nice. You seem like a very genuine person is all, keep up the videos! :D
Thank you so much Jessica for such a beautiful comment 💛 It made my day!! It warms my heart that you feel that way about my art and me as a person :-) More videos are coming very soon!
"sometimes it will make you feel amazing, some times it will make you feel... a trash" can realte
wow… gouache seems difficult but has stunning results! i love how matte it looks :0
I find it tricky to work with, but I too love the results! It's been such a fun medium to explore 😊 thanks so much for watching! 💛🍪
damn, thank you for opening my eyes to making my own gouache paintbox palette.... mixing your own secondary colors in there is such a great idea as i don't own too many colors yet (also squeezing out paint onto a palette every time, especially if you work smaller and end up putting too much is a hassle lets be real)
An air-tight container is a game changer! I think there is a medium you can add to the paint to keep them wet longer, that I might try as well. Thanks so much for watching Vimbles! ❤️
Love the funky hue shifts and mark making in these! Great effort
Your art is amazing. I love your style and the fact you did keep your brush strokes very simple. I look forward to seeing more of your videos
Thank you so much! 🥰 I'm working on a few more videos that are coming very soon ❤️
I love a good reactivation of gouache 🫶🏻♥️
I am a watercolorist getting into gouaches - and I’m going to add some violet to my palette, it’s so pretty and I love what it’s doing to the portraits you’re painting!
Thanks for sharing 😊
just found your channel. so glad it was recommended to me. this inspired me so much to get back to gouache painting!!! it's such an amazing media
Aw I'm so glad this video found it's way to you! Gouache is both super fun and challenging haha, but I'm having a blast learning about it. I love how instant it feels, if that makes sense 😅💛
You can also add more gum Arabic binder to almost dry to dry gauche and not over water it down. It’ll be thinner paint but the binder will keep the colors from feeling muddy, dull, or chalky. Love this video💕 your work is beautiful
This is such a great tip, thank you! 💓 I'm definitely going to look into trying that. I've also heard there are retarder mediums that can be added to gouache that slows down the drying time. Thank you so much for watching 😊💕
super gorgeous!! love the gouache addition to the 100 heads. they all turned out so lovely, love the chunky brush strokes!
Aw thank you so much! ❤️❤️
they all look really great💖
I remember Lisa Rivo has a blog post about adding w&n blending medium in gouache to keep them from drying and it worked great for me🙏🏻
Yes!! I believe she has a video about it too! I've been wanting to try it for a while now, but haven't seen the medium in stores 👀 I might need to order some and give it a try!
Your paintings come to life after those juicy highlights! I love this 💕💕
Oh thank you so much! 💗💗☺️
one of my new favorite artists to watch on youtube! you have such a beautiful, calming presence and your art is so wonderful. i associate pale blues/purples/reds with you and your art which is a color palette i don't see more often but you work with it so well! and i'm really looking forward to your new content!
Aw wow! Thank you so much Tsuki ❤️ this was such a sweet comment to read. I'm really glad you enjoy my videos! More videos are coming very soon :-) have a wonderful day!
Ahhhh! So excited to find you and this channel. Just starting the gouache journey.. love portrait drawing...so this is fantastic. Really beautiful work!

Omg finally someone doing this challenge with gouache! Its inspiring and ur work is fantastic
Aw thank you so much! I'm doing some of the heads in oil and watercolor as well- but mostly gouache! I find it is by far the quickest, so probably better for this challenge :-) Thanks for watching! 💛
Pretty, beautiful, gorgeous
I rly like your loose painting style! It‘s always so calming to watch your videos! 🌼 Xoonani
Thank you so much Xoonani! ⭐✨

That's so awesome! Thank you so much for watching! :-) happy painting!!
I always love watching these videos because it shows the create talents of people who can do various faces! ❤❤❤
Ah thank you! I love watching these sort of videos as well 😊 I always try to draw and paint different faces so that I don't get too comfortable doing just one thing! Thank you for watching ❤️
This is so beautiful, your art inspired me!
Aw that's awesome! Thanks for watching 💛💛
You are brilliant with colors! This video is so underrated, very inspired.
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it 💗

Thanks so much! 💛
Great video. Thanks for being so generous and honest.
Thank you for watching!
Your video inspired me to start this challenge. I’ve been wanting to do some color studies and painting faces. I’ll definitely be waiting for your next videos!!
Ooh that's so awesome!! You'll learn so much 💕 thanks for watching Andy!
These are incredible, thank you for this! I learned a lot from the video.
That is so great to hear! 💛 Thanks for watching! :-)
I really love your style ! Thank you for this video. I can't wait to see the next ones ✨
I’m sorry i’m french, my english it’s limited but I really wanted to write a few words of encouragement and admiration !
Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it! 💛✨ Your english is perfect, I wish I could say the same about my French haha 😊
SO SO PRETTY 😍😍
Thank you! ☺️❤️
i really love the colors on the last one! 😍
Thank you so much! 😊
Great work can’t wait to see more thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! More videos coming soon :)
In love with the last portrait! I am currently taking on this challenge and will be using gouache for the first time - I like your technique!
Ooh that's so exciting!! I hope you enjoy working with gouache 😊 I become more and more fond of it the more I use it! Thank you so much Nikkole 💛 happy painting!
I love the messyness of your gouache style and the small visible strokes.
Thank you so much Willemijn! I think I'm realizing that that might be my style. I just love leaving visible strokes! 💛
I’ve watched this video so many times!! I would love it if you could do a tutorial on how you paint faces with gouache 😅 but I really love you art style and the way you paint!!
Aw that's awesome! I recently posted another gouache heads video on my channel, if you want to see more 😊 I'm hoping to make a gouache portrait tips video soon 💛 Thanks so much!
@@emhuesart thanks for the reply! And I’ll be looking out for it 😊
I found you a couple days ago and your art is just amazing ❤
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you found my videos! ❤️😊
these are all so good!!!
Thank you!! ❤️
Really great work, Emily 😀 It's so nice to hear your thought processes about each study. I can totally relate with how art can make you feel so good one moment, then like rubbish the next. All the best with the rest of the challenge 😊
Thanks so much Gemma! 😊 It must be the challenges of art making that keeps us coming back for more haha 😅
@@emhuesart Yes, for sure! 🤣
My favorite is the second one. I like the expression and the colors, very delicious
Thank you so much!! 💛💛
I love your art ❤❤ pintas hermoso!
Thank you so much ❤️

Thank you so much!! 💗 So glad you enjoyed 😊
Beautiful ❤!! I just found your channel and all of your content is so relaxing and inspiring!! Great work !
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you found my little channel ❤️😊
i am in love with the process.
Thank you ❤️🤗
Instantly subscribed I’ve fallen in love with your art from just seeing the thumbnail 😭💗
Thanks so much Abbie! 💛 Hoping to do more gouache very soon!
These are beautiful! For blending, I lay down all of my planes in blocks and then use a very slightly damp brush to hatch between the two colours. It allows me to have really smooth transitions and good control over what goes where relatively quickly, and it doesn’t make it chalky.
I’m looking forward to trying that lavender in my portraits!! When you added it to your palette I was like 😮 I HAVE TO DO THAT lol
Thank you so much! I'm going to give your blending technique a try! 😄 I definitely recommend a lavender for portraits, it's such a great mixing colour to have on hand
Love your voice, its so calming💖
Thanks so much! 😊💗
i love the way you paint with the skin tones! skin tones are so hard for me and you really know how to use gouache!!
Thank you so much! ❤️ Skin tones can be super tricky, they still stump me sometimes 😅
Skin tones are made of light. Try practicing seeing light and shadow
Love this❤❤❤
Thanks so much! ❤️
great job with the highlights on them 😀
Thanks so much Fuzzy! 💛💛
Beautiful work nice
Thank you very much! 😊
You inspired me to do 100 head challenge.and I feel like I'm improving.thank you so much🩷
Ah that's amazing! I'm so glad to hear it! 💖
Love the lilac use! I often use purple in the shadows… but haven’t thought of using lilac in midtones and highlights….
Thank you so much! 💛 Purples are fantastic for shadows, but I really enjoy pushing it and seeing if can get away with using them elsewhere! :') I can't go without a lilac or pale purple in my palette now
@@emhuesart I am quite excited to to have a go myself! I am a big believer in using colours when painting skin that are not considered ‘skin’ colours… because more funz 😅
Amazing portraits Emily! ❤ You're an inspiration! Excited to see your next videos!!🤗😊
I was also thinking of trying out gouche but still a bit afraid to do so because of the reason you just mentioned 🥹they're not as flexible as oil paints 😕
Aw thank you Jessica! ❤️ I find gouache very challenging, but that might be because I am so used to oils haha 😅 But it's still a super fun medium to play around with. Also, I kinda enjoy the challenge! I'd love to see how it goes if you ever give them a try 😄✨
@@emhuesart haha same here! very used to oils. I will give gouche a try but probably won't let others see the result 😂😅
Amazing 👏👏👏
Thank you!
I am most definitely going to as a matter of fact I am going to be doing it now and just getting in the comfort before
Yay! That's awesome! 😊💛
I sketched that second reference for my 100 heads and struggled with it so much as well. glad to know i'm not alone. It's a shame because she's so cute! But i think your painting turned out good. I need to get into painting, there's too much stuff to learn
It is a challenging one! 😅 I hope you get a chance to give painting a try, it can be so fun and rewarding! ✨
I’m so glad I stumbled upon this video. Love your arts ❤ new subscriber here 🤚🏻
Aw welcome and thank you so much!! ❤️
WOW So Beautiful portrait, Wishing you more and more Successes, greetings and Blessings 💜💐🌹
Thank you so much Ropri. 🥰💗 wishing you the same! ✨
your work is lovely , emily .. glad that i came across your channel.. i am crazy for gouache , and come from watercolor background ... norakag, here 👍👍
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you found my channel💛 I'm hoping to make more gouache videos very soon :-)
I just refreshed some of my gouache the other day and it made my hand hurt a bit haha
It's quite a task 😅 and soo messy! Thanks for watching!
Your art is so pretty! Is it possible that maybe you could do some kind of tutorial or tip video for gouache paint? I really struggle with capturing someone’s likeness and not getting my paints muddy lol.
Thank you so much! I'm hoping to do a video of that sort in the near future! 😊 I'll try to share tips for capturing likeness and color mixing ✨
@@emhuesart That’d be so helpful! I look forward to seeing that! :D
God bless! This is lovely ❤
Thank you so much! ❤️
Nice Work
Thank you 😊
New subscriber from Tokyo. Thanks for sharing 😊
Aw awesome! Thanks for subscribing! 😄
10/10❤
Thank you 🥰
Apparently you can blend gouache once it’s dry with a damp brush.
Yes! I have heard this and I've been trying it out! It does work, but I find it can start to look bad if overdone. Thanks so much for watching and for sharing this tip with myself and others! 😊💛
the second one is fantastic!! so much character
Aw thanks so much! :-)
❤
I love these so much! how long did each head take to paint?
Thank you!! :-) they all took different amounts of time, between 20 mins- to over an hour (that pesky second one took the longest) 😅
Just found your channel, I love your work! Can you make a video talking about how you use colors like purple in a portrait? Do you pick a value to use the color on? Or are using it for cooler hues? I have yet to be successful doing this :/
Thanks so much and what a great suggestion! I'll try to do a video where I go into more detail about colors in portraits and how to incorporate colors like purples! A quick explanation though, is that I tend to use the lavender color to mix lighter shades in the face that are cooler leaning 😊
Do you recommend any books or material in learning to shade or where to apply certain colors to create dimension?
I would definitely recommend James Gurney's Color and Light book, I learned so much from it! Thank you so much for watching ❤️
one of my teachers at art center, who was unbelievable in gouache, said: tight drawing, looser handling.
wow. I just found your channel. I watched all the videos and I love them so much!! they are calm and motivating. I want to do 100 head too!
by the way, did you ever try the golden open acrylic paint? I heard they stay wet much longer and the left over paint could be store for months without drying, very much like oil paint but easier to clean.
In one of your video you said we can ask you to test out different paints. :P could you please test the open acrylic so we can follow your color choices. I never know which colors to start with, like limited 5-7 colors, there are many yellows and many reds...
Aw thank you so much Yiyi ❤️ I'm so glad you enjoy my videos!! I haven't tried the open golden acrylic paints, but I'm going to look into them. I'd love to do a video about them for you! :-)
@@emhuesart Thank you so much! I'm very excited and appreciated!!
Gouache looks so challenging. I'm having a hard enough time learning oils lol
I find that it is very challenging! Though, I see some people work with it effortlessly 😅 I think it's hard to get into as an oil painter because it's just so darn different from oils haha!
I had technical difficulties with my phone when I was filming my 100 heads (I kept running out of space 😢) it’s really frustrating and gets you out of the zone, so I completely understand what you mean
Ooh I've definitely been there with phone storage while filming! My issue was that my SD card said it was full even though it wasn't 😅 luckily I figured it out, I thought it was busted haha 🙃 thanks so much for watching!
@@emhuesart ahh that's annoying! I had one where my camera 100% filmed the entire thing working absolutely fine with the SD card, then I put the SD card in my computer and it was empty... didn't record a thing 😶
Hi Emily! I just wanna ask if you use any reference ?
Yes, I do use references! I made a Pinterest board for all of the references I use in these 100 head videos. I just added it to the description of this video 😊 thanks for watching! 💛
These are soo good 💜💜. Can you please tell me what type of method you're using . Is it a stroke painting? I really wanna learn this method . And if possible i would like you to make a video on this method . It would be a great help to me . Thnks ❤️
Hi there! Thank you so much ❤️ I don't really follow any exact method, but I do pay a lot of attention to shapes, color, and the direction of my strokes. I'm planning on making a video where I go into more detail about how I approach a portrait painting- I hope that that video will be of more help to you 😊
How long does the gouache stay “wet” in the airtight container?
Surprisingly a very long time! Though it does depend on your climate and on how often you use them. I find they stay fresh if you stir them and add more paint when needed. That being said, I would only really recommend it if you paint with gouache pretty frequently though, as it will definitely dry out faster than paint left in tubes! I have also heard that M. Graham gouaches tend to get moldy as they have honey as an ingredient, so maybe best to avoid if that is the brand you use 😊
your portraits are amazing can you make a tutorial pls
Thanks so much! I'll try to do a video in the near future where I explain my process while creating a portrait more 😊
It kind of looks blotchy I've sent off for some gouche , it see!s to have an old fashioned poster board effect were these paints used to paint cartoons in the past?
watching this really makes me want to play with gouache again 🥹I was so frustrated by the value change when it dries...super impressed that your stubbornness is not letting it win 👏
I'm so glad this inspired you! 🥰 Gouache can be super frustrating, but I'm trying to learn to enjoy the challenge haha! Thanks so much Ultramarine
Thank you. I pray that I remember the guidance.
So glad you found it helpful! ☺️
What is this art style called? Ive always wanted to paint like this but Idk where to start😭 Do you have a recommendations?
I'm not sure if there is a name for this style, but I think about it as being realistic/ naturalistic, yet embracing the qualities of paint, and not being afraid to showcase the fact that it's a painting (rather than a photo-realistic painting)! I have fun with color and try to put a lot of emphasis on the direction of my brushstrokes! Also breaking down the subject into it's larger shapes! And even though I'm talking about painting with gouache, I use the same techniques with oil painting, digital painting, and even sketching! Some artists that inspire are: John Singer Sargent, James Gurney, Gregory Manchess, and Jenny Saville! I hope this helps. Feel free to ask me any other questions you may have, or dm me on Instagram @ emhuesart 😊 Best of luck in your artistic journey!
@@emhuesart thank you soo much for some tips and recs!!! I enjoy doing lots of digital and painting with gouache. I find myself struggling to get the paintbrush look(?). I love the way you use ur colors and how ur not afraid to use colors like lilac and green when painting the faces. I’m going to look at some of the artists you rec and try practicing tonight‼️💞
Have you ever tried adding vegetable glycerin instead of water ?
I haven't, but I've heard about this! It's something I've been considering 👀💛
Regarding getting messy hands. The pigments are toxic and one should try to avoid absorbing the paints even by touch. Thin surgical-type rubber gloves are a good idea, I think.
Absolutely right! I washed my hands right away, but gloves are always better! 😊
I'm really panning on redoing this challenge. I did it once until 70-something in 2020 if I remember correctly, but then the first collection was deleted and I stopped. Back then I spent an hour on every head, but now I want to make them quicker, so I practice the fundamental of sketching down a head rather quickly and accurately.
Also... no, the doggo sounds are not audible. :D
I did the original challenge years ago, but I definitely didn't finish it!😅 I think the key might be forcing ourselves to do them quicker. Maybe set a timer for 30 mins per head and then shorten it to 15 or 10 if you can 😊 Also, yay for no dog sounds! She breathes so loud haha
@@emhuesart I spent an hour on each one back then, now I'm planning to make 4 heads with 10 minutes each, then every 5th will be 20 minutes. No fancy stuff, just practicing how to capture likeness in a few minutes.
I wanna get gouache so bad but I don’t even paint that much 😭
We have the same last name I’m Megan Hughes
Well at least I think the color palette of your second portrait is very nice, except maybe the reds in her face might be too strong as if she’s got blood on her cheeks 😅
Haha agreed!! I went back and repainted it off camera, but I'm still not happy with it 😅 Atleast it was a learning experience! Thanks so much for watching 💛
Awesome challenge! You did great. Just some helpful feedback since you seemed to be a little stuck on that second portrait. You say you used the say strategy but arent sure why it was tough. But looking over the first two, you did not use the same strategy. You started on fine, dark details FAR earlier in the second portrait instead of laying down more shadows and midtones first and i think thats why the second portrait felt difficult. You didnt have the same foundation the second time
Thank you so much! It's very helpful to hear an outsider's perspective 💛 I'm going to rewatch this and see what I learn from my process!
