Gouache Painting Using Delicate Textures

  • Опубликовано: 2 фев 2021
  • James Gurney demonstrates a watercolor/gouache technique that was popular in the 19th century. The method involves building up textures in at least two layers of paint with delicate strokes of the brush, using a limited palette both transparently and opaquely.

    Because you include giant pencils and floating queue cards I, and the other kids who grew up in the late 70s and 80s fully approve of this message. I remember when my brother and I drilled a hole through the wall separating our rooms so we could run a wire between our Radio Shack two-way mic/speakers so we could talk late into the night. We also built a pully system on the ceiling of our room that let us lift and move stuff around LOL. Very inspired by The Goonies and people like you. Thank you for this excellent art instruction and a flashback/memory to simpler times.

    I have been painting so much indoors lately that I feel like I lost that feeling of spontaneity. It is always a pleasure to watch you paint I enjoy your explanations and are somehow able to perceive what a new learning student might be wondering for example why certain strokes are easier to paint, how to work detail with one brush. In this commercial driven world one can do so many lovely paintings with very basic sturdy supplies. Thank you very much for your art enthusiasm Mr. Gurney.
