Hey just wanted to let you know your voice over audio is only appearing on left side for me. Since I have a pair of old-ish headphones and the left side doesn't work I just assumed this video had no audio. Then I unplugged my headphones and heard your voice over. But your intro music I heard on my right and only functioning headphone 😂
i'm gonna do my sketchbook cover page with gouche; as for the video, i really, really love seeing your paintings start out and how they look almost unrecognizable by the end. that's definitely my biggest issue with everything; if something doesn't look like it does in my head right away, i have a habit of abandoning it. i'm working on that, though. for the record, i'd totally buy a print of this WINK WINK
Yasss do it! And aww thankyou! I actually can't visualize in my head (I think I'm gonna make a video about it) and that might contribute to it! I have to see on the page as I go because I can't picture it in my head. I have like ideas of what I want to do in a verbal description sort of way but no image I can pull from!
@@HulloAlice oh right! i think i remembered you mentioned something like that on twitter a while ago. i have the opposite problem. i can see things in my head so vividly and in such immaculate detail that what i put on the page doesn't compare. i'm getting better about it, though, and telling myself hey, you have to start somewhere and the way i draw isn't necessarily how my mind sees things, either.
I'm getting reacquainted with watercolor and your tip to start with the most watered down layers first and add the dryer more opaque ones on top is going to be really helpful.
I feel like gouache is so underrated. I almost never see artists using it. Lately watercolors are like the "bomb" if you compare it to acrylic and gouache
Oh my gosh Alice! First of all I’ve rewatched like 7 of your videos this morning (that I’ve seen each like 3 times already) then I went to research gouache, got frustrated because I couldn’t find anything helpful. Then came back to your channel and saw that you uploaded this! Haha! how funny! Thanks!!
Have been painting with gouache for a while now and being a primarily watercolor artist, it is one of my favorite things! I love to layer it on top of watercolors and how it adds a vibrant touch to my paintings. If you’re thinking about trying out gouache, definitely go for it! For sure spend some time testing and trying it out. It’s a really fun medium
THANK YOU! ive been wanting to try gouache. I use watercoloir and graphite for my art and want to expand my skillset with paint. This video was so helpful.
Beautiful painting! And everything you say definitly is true, I had a hard time when I started using gouache, you really have to get to know the paint. 😅 But when you know how to, it is really fun! More fun than watercolor I think! 😂😃
Just starting college and I have this studio design class and the paint we plan to use is basically only gouache! I've used it some in the past but this definitely helped me a ton still ♥️
The painting is lovely! The colours really pop. I've also started learning how to use gouache and what you say about it being tricky at first is so true! I was convinced my paints where just bad because they are so cheap, but no, it was just because I didn't know what I was doing.
i love this piece, great work with the colour scheme :) gouache only clicked for me recently when i "forgot" how everyone says "it's like watercolor" or "it's more like oil paint", because i kept trying to use it as if it were something else and had a rough time of it. gouache is just its own thing! and i appreciate it. i find that gouache can be used on papers that can't take watercolor; it's not gonna be the Best most amazing paper for it, but i find gouache to be serviceable on smoother papers that are just the worst for watercolor. watercolor paper is probably best for gouache though, or at the very least you want a Thicc surface!
I have that love/hate relationship with gouache, I just never trust it because the colors have such a severe shift when dry! I read the mission white paint from mijello doesn’t have such an extreme shift. I am so impressed with your expertise with this medium! Oh Holbein is fine, like wine, for pronunciation if your interested, I have the Arteza brand and it is a good medium grade paint. Amazing picture keep going as you are Alice!
I love your art. Every piece is so inspirational for me. I have trouble drawing too small. How do you adjust to drawing bigger portraits that can be painted without losing the proportions
I started with artists loft 😂😂😂😂 but arteza isn't bad they're not as opaque sometimes but they work pretty well and are cheap! I haven't tried many brands tho as I got Holbein when I decided i liked gouache and have just been slowly collecting them since
Try Miya Himi Gouache! I have these paints, and I really, really love them. They come in a cute sturdy case and 18 jelly cups, with each cup having a generous 30ml amount of paint.
Hannah Smith I really like using the winsor and newton ones. I beleive their especially good for people who have been using (professional) watercolors. 🤗
i’ve been wanting to try this stuff sooo baaad because i started with watercolors, but i’ve always wanted them to work like gauche before i even knew it was a thing so i feel like i really need to get some lol
Alice, thanks for this info - I'm interested in gouache but didn't know where to start! 2 questions: 1) can you recommend a low cost set for a beginner? 2) what is this sketchbook you're using? If seems to stand up to gobs of paint layers! Thank YOU!! 😀😀
I started with Artists Loft and Arteza, I haven't tried any cheaper ones other than those!! And the sketchbook I am using is the Handbook Journal Co sketchbook, it's linked under my "favorite supplies" in the description box! I LOVE this sketchbook, it is my third one and it is SO great for pretty much everything except markers

Other than being a sort of "best of both worlds" kind of paint, I wanna try Gouache because it's fun to say. Gwaaash.
This comment is so underrated 😂😂😂

I have the same problem listening to this using my wireless headphones.
I thought it was only me😅
Thank you for posting I restarted like 6 times!
same for me, only on the left side ö.ö
Same for me. I only hear her in my right ear. I have wireless headphones or ear-in buds some people call them that
i'm gonna do my sketchbook cover page with gouche; as for the video, i really, really love seeing your paintings start out and how they look almost unrecognizable by the end. that's definitely my biggest issue with everything; if something doesn't look like it does in my head right away, i have a habit of abandoning it. i'm working on that, though.

I have the same problem of picturing things really vividly then feeling let down when I can't get it to the point I want it.

You would be fantastic as a Skillshare instructor! You are very good at sharing your knowledge!

My mom taught me not to curse, but BLOODY HELL!!! That drawing is just perfection😍❤️.
These colors are incredible!
I love how you layer shadows, they create such depth! I definitely want to try guache!
Love this illustration. Especially your color choices, it’s very stylized and I love it. 💖

Love that painting. Really nice to watch the process. And you made me to try my art with the guache!
Good info, thank you, more please, maybe a paint along.
what brand/brands do you recommend for beginners? thanks and love your channel!
I started with artists loft 😂😂😂😂 but arteza isn't bad they're not as opaque sometimes but they work pretty well and are cheap! I haven't tried many brands tho as I got Holbein when I decided i liked gouache and have just been slowly collecting them since
Try Miya Himi Gouache! I have these paints, and I really, really love them. They come in a cute sturdy case and 18 jelly cups, with each cup having a generous 30ml amount of paint.
Hannah Smith I really like using the winsor and newton ones. I beleive their especially good for people who have been using (professional) watercolors. 🤗
What is that palette you're using? It seems awesome! The art looks great (as usual but it doesn't hurt to say it again and again 😊)
Yo, go to amazon and type in "rose paint pallete" it was the first result for me.
@@wahhbajack thanks 😁
This was super helpful! Thank you, also I love your finished piece. IM OBSESSED WITH YOUR PALETTE!!! #need 😍
First! I love your videos so much!
Such a pretty painting!! Thanks for the Gouache tips!
i’ve been wanting to try this stuff sooo baaad because i started with watercolors, but i’ve always wanted them to work like gauche before i even knew it was a thing so i feel like i really need to get some lol
I’ve been loving acrylic paint but I want to try gouache so bad!
Yes please! More slowed down painting ^-^
And more gouache please!
This is beautiful!
I live in Colorado too!
this is beautiful! just ordered my first set of gouache and im so excited!
Where you live there’s no humidity but where I live it’s all humid.... haha
Love the painting in this video. Thank you for sharing. Your tips were actually helpful. 😊😄
You're so welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful!
I know you said it’s prone to cracking, I was just wondering if you varnished it would anything lift or would it stop the chances of cracking?
Alice, thanks for this info - I'm interested in gouache but didn't know where to start! 2 questions: 1) can you recommend a low cost set for a beginner? 2) what is this sketchbook you're using? If seems to stand up to gobs of paint layers! Thank YOU!! 😀😀

I find this very intimidating.
Thanks for this video, very helpful. You're very talented, Linda NZ.
This was everything I was hoping for!
Woohoo!!
@@HulloAlice I hope you make more videos on this topic. I would love to see a slowed down video where you talk about your techniques :)
I have a sudden need for a weird shaped palette now omg
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Love your vids sooo much!
Another great video, thank you so much 🙂
I'm glad you liked it! 💜
Ive been subscribed to you for what feels like forever adn your posts arent showing up in my feed. i fully thought you went on a hiatus or something
Loved the vid!! Didn't your piece crack later on? Heart that thick layers do that
Nope no cracking! It's usually fine if you keep it flat and mine isn't very thick!
Were you speaking in this video? All I heard was music in the beginning and then it goes silent.
My audio is messed up, it's only in one headphone side :( try having both headphones in or using speakers
@@HulloAlice Ohhhh! Ok I was using speakers but only one speaker works. So I will try again with headphones thanks!
Not like that I just finished my first gouache paintig 😂 maybe I should have watched the video before. 🤔
Is this supposed to have a voice over because it doesn’t
Yes it does? Is your volume on?
My volume is on. I hear the intro music then there’s nothing.
Oh wait your audio is coming on one side only- the left
DANGIT. I KNEW I forgot to fix something. My sincere apologies! I normally fix that and totally missed it because I was rushing :(
