This is my first gouache painting ever. I followed along to this tutorial and I dont hate it! I have a long way to go to be as good as you, Sarah, but I will get there!
Just starting with gouache and found some of your tutorials. So much fun and different from watercolors. Mixing colors is still a challenge. Thanks for the help.
Sarah you always make it look easy..thats how we know youre a great teacher!! I absolutely live this pic and wish I could do skies like this..mine always blend into a wishy washy mess 🫣. Love this style of video..thank you for sharing your process❤
I love these tutorials please keep making them/i am a beginner to gouach and color mixing and matching makes me so stressed it’s soo hard thank you again for the amazing tutorials ❤️
You’re welcome! I will be releasing a new skillshare class on October 1st that is an “intro to gouache” type of thing with tons of advice to get you started.
This looks beautiful!! I've got my paints out at the moment and am painting along! you're the artist who got me into watercolour landscapes and I am incredibly grateful!!
Ohh this is a gorgeous painting. I love the sweeping clouds in the sky & the bold bright sand with pops of grasses here & there. I really enjoy watching your painting process & progress. This was so relaxing to see. Thanks for sharing this.
I was shamefully doubting the colors at first but then it all flowed so beautifully at the end and that just shows you have to trust the process because the first part of painting will never do the last part of the painting justice 😍😍
Perfect timing! We are camping on the coast in a couple of weeks. It should look every much like the coast where you were at. Sandy dunes and beach. I'll have to give this a try. Not sure how the weather will be. Likely overcast and super windy but hopefully the rain will stay away. Speaking of, have you ever found sand in your palette after a plein air session?
Love it I used to live in lossimouth, just down the road! (ISH)... Love your work. It is my intention to try to paint some of the areas I used to go to. I. Don't know if I missed it but did you list the colours!
really lovely piece, Sarah . I just want to tell you that I think you are one of the best teachers, with gouache.. you give such detailed explanations and tips , along with your thought processes , as you go.. I find it all incredible helpful , and I thank you for that,, "norakag " here 😊👍👍
Our first course in art school this semester was plein air painting and now I see painting in general (even in studio) in a whole new way! Thank you for sharing your travels outside :)
You made this so simple to follow with your helpful tips! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial :) I just painted along to this and really loved the way it turned out, all thanks to you! I'll share mine on IG soon and tag you 😊
I really like the idea of this bright blue shadow! The only thing I'd do differently is to paint some of the grass lying or pointing other directions as up. This way they look too unified.
I just came by your RUclips on painting with gouache. I normally paint in watercolor. Do I squeeze gouache out of tube ahead of time into a palette, or only squeeze what I need as I paint.
Typically I only use gouache fresh from the tube, but if you have an air-tight palette like mine, you can squeeze it in and keep using it for as long as it lasts.
Thank you for the great video! What kind of watercolor palette are you using in this video? It seems simple but super functional. I have been looking for something like it, but I can’t find it.
Do you add water to your paint? It looks a bit dry, not sure if it’s preference or the type of paint. My gouache paint won’t really go along way without water.
Hello Sarah! Thank you for this great tutorial. But I was confused about something you said in the video. I think you mentioned that phthalo blue leans towars more green which makes it warmer, meanwhile ultramarine blue is cooler. I might be missing something but I thought it was the opposite. I'd really appreciate if you help me understand this :) Thank you again for teaching us your great technique and wisdom. ^^ Cheers!
Hello! Ohhh this is so interesting! I listened again and yes I did say that! On the color wheel, phthalo leans towards green and considered cool, and ultramarine leans towards red and considered warm. When I used them, I'm looking at it more in relation to visual stimuli - to my eye the phthalo creates a much warmer ocean color than ultramarine. A lot of it is based on the color that is directly adjacent to the blue. Then there's the other side of the argument - color bias vs. color temp. For anyone else reading this, here's a fascinating read: www.celebratingcolor.com/what-is-the-temperature-of-blue/ Especially scroll down to the paragraph that starts with: "So what to do with blues?"
@@SarahBurnsStudio Probably a bit late now but were you suggesting that the greener blue pops out (looks closer) when placed next to the warmer redder blue like in the article? I've been trying to get my head around this for the last hour lol Is this just an optical illusion/interpretation to the individual mind that defies Rayleigh scattering's insistence that blue light has shorter wavelengths than red light, and hence looks like it's further away.
I did a few of your paintings that I loved which would make my day if you could check it out! @juicyscribbles on ig. I lost motivation to paint for a few months because I only loved your tutorials and I'm so excited to paint this one today!!

Yes definitely! I have dropped my whole palette in the sand before 😱
Thank you, you do such amazing work. Thank you for your teachings and insights. And of course amazing references

Thank you!
I’ve thought of gouache and it may be my thing. I have to see for a set to start with. Thanks, for the awsome tutorial.
Our first course in art school this semester was plein air painting and now I see painting in general (even in studio) in a whole new way! Thank you for sharing your travels outside :)
Oh that’s awesome! I sometimes wish I studied painting in school to have a stronger understanding and not have to figure everything out by mistakes 😂
You made this so simple to follow with your helpful tips! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial :) I just painted along to this and really loved the way it turned out, all thanks to you! I'll share mine on IG soon and tag you 😊
That's awesome! I'm so glad you found it helpful (and enjoyed it!)
Lovely painting! really enjoyed watching this tutorial!
Molto bello
Maravilloso!.
I’m a new subscriber! Really love this video. Thank you so much :). I’m a gouache beginner and it can be a bit hard.
You're so welcome!
Wow it's so beautiful, i love the colors you use for it
Thank you so much 😀
Very nice and tranquil.
Thanks 😊
I love this! Thank you for sharing! :)
I really like the idea of this bright blue shadow!

I don’t think your grass shadows are dark enough and are too blue. You did a great job on everything else. Paul
Beautiful..
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful video 😍

Its just a standard sealable palette from amazon..like £15?
@@SarahBurnsStudio Thank you so much for your information!
Do you add water to your paint? It looks a bit dry, not sure if it’s preference or the type of paint. My gouache paint won’t really go along way without water.
I add water for certain types of brush strokes, and I let my brush dry out for other reasons (I love dry brush texture!)

i bought that pallette how long does it keep gouache fresh
Several months so far
🥰🥰🥰
What colors did u mix for painting the sand?
Burnt sienna, white
What type and size of tape u use
It varies but usually 1/2 inch - 1 inch
I did a few of your paintings that I loved which would make my day if you could check it out! @juicyscribbles on ig. I lost motivation to paint for a few months because I only loved your tutorials and I'm so excited to paint this one today!!
We all go through ups and downs - just remember why you paint in the first place and don’t put too much pressure on yourself.
