Really like the "credit card size" painting idea. I'm at the stage where I just need to do lots of it to learn but big paintings feel kind of daunting. Thanks for that!
I have one of those 'seals each compartment completely' storage palettes, ran into that mold problem a couple of times as well. Only way around it was to just open it up as soon as I got home and let all the paint dry *completely* overnight if I knew I wasn't going to be getting into it for a while.
so thankful I found this video--spent an entire day worrying about the sky color for a scene my son asked for. You reminded me why my son asked for the scene --and it wasn't to get the perfect sky colour. I appreciate your perspective, thank you.
Really helpful video. I never thought about moldy paint!! I’ll definitely have to be careful of that. Good sketchbook recommendations too. I’ll check those out. Thanks for putting this one together. Cheers.
Yeah, when your wet pigments run in to one another because the palette wasn't level in the bag - PAINT MURDER! I'm always on the lookout for palettes that have a particular configuration but will fit in my little back-pack stool combination. Currently using a cheap Jusku palette which just-a-say fits.
@@JaredCullum I think the Juskü is not dissimilar to the Yasutomo which you mentioned recently apart from the wells which are only in one half of the clamshell. It fits pretty snugly at the bottom of my camping stool back pack (handy because it gets firmly wedged in there) which is something you can get off amazon and is designed for fishermen I believe.
김본중졸 thank you! I plan on it. Next up will be plein air watercolor. It’s my preferred medium but I get mostly questions about gouache. Haha gouache painters are louder than watercolor. Every time I do watercolor videos I get a handful of messages asking for more gouache. It’s nice to hear from a watercolor enthusiast. :)
Great video once again, thanks for sharing your approach incite and skills. You answered a lot of questions that I had about gouache. I havent fully converted to solely using gouache I use watercolor and just a tube of white gouche. Thanks again.
That's how I started with it. You may end up hating it! haha there's nothing wrong with that. I love it now- but watercolor is still my main medium for work and personal stuff. I do love sketching with gouache, though.
Hi Mr. Cullum. Thanks for answering my question! I got a lot of useful insights from your tips for others as well ( ^ u ^ ) I found it comforting to hear that you started with indoor painting/ painting from photo references before venturing out to plein air. I recently bought a book with Norman Rockwell's painting and have a library of urban photos that I've accumulated over the years. Patience and consistent practice really seems to be the key. I'll pace myself and start where it's comfortable instead of forcing myself into "things-I-should-do."
@@JaredCullum James Gurney and classical artists are often recommended, but it's kind of surreal for you to mention Lena Rivo or PixelPChan. I've been following their works for a while and to hear that you admire the same people was refreshing. We're usually told to always look up to someone rather than look at our fellow peers. So... Unexpected yes, but refreshing (=^ u ^=)
I use my gouache in a pallet never had any issues with mold I also don't rewet it fully I mostly just water it as if it was watercolor it works just as well
This is a bit wild, I think I was at the same con as when you did this painting. Was it at SPX? I believe I remember walking past you when this was happening and only just now stumbled across this video. Either way, learned a lot and love the painting :)
Rashone me too! It’s not even terribly expensive. It was $20 but you can’t get it here. I did a painting for a guy over there and he offered to send me one.
Hey Jared! I was wondering how you develop your patience! I mean, I usually end up repainting an area too early before it dries and u know better what happens next! You seem like not waiting at all for your underpaint to dry! thanks
I don't! I kinda try to time it in my head but one of the things I love the best is when you can pull wet into just barely wet and get that lush blur you get naturally with oil paint. It's tough to get with gouache without erasing under or going over. But there's a sweet spot where you can get that look. Teddi Parker is an incredible acrylic painter but you'd think she paints oil because of the same thing and I've seen her say that it's the same goal.
@@JaredCullum oh I get it! I think that's a key part for me to improve, trying not to ALWAYS wait for a completely dry base before putting a new layer, Thanks for the answer :) PS, man Teddi Parker is so great
I am always too scared to do anything when it comes to painting outside. I forced myself to do it ones, and I made a friend, old grandma who told me she used to paint and thanked me for painting outside. The feeling I got from that exchange is undescribable, and so worth it. I just now need to have motivation to do it again.
It’s a lot easier if you have a paint buddy to paint plein air with you outside. I am an introvert, and just being with someone close with me, makes me feel confident and comfortable to do extrovert stuff like painting outside. It also feels less awkward to be stared at by passer bys if you have someone painting along beside you.
@@JaredCullum oh nice! Cause I'm really wanting the basic set along a metal tin I'm probably gonna spray with something for preventing it from rusting. Thanks for the reply!
Bozmund Os oh they are definitely worth buying. WN is a little easier to buy cheaper locally but I love MG gouache and only use it these days. They have a decent primary kit of 4 colors and you can add a few essentials and get a limited set for a decent price. You may want to use a little cheap plastic palette to start so you don’t have to worry about the spray having issues unless you’ve made them before. Yasumtomo makes an Awesome little cheap box for like $8 that is very flat and portable and sturdy but not super bulky like the cheap ones tend to be. Good luck!
@@JaredCullum I think imma gather a good amount of money because I'm from South America and only some guys called "elf global shipping" or something only send it over here and.... It's expensive as hEll and takes month and a half to arrive, and there's no yellows sent by Amazon shipping or even in eBay there's no m.graham yellows... Well I'll make a plan later, (though I'm really trying to not go for w&n, it's total 30 dollars for the primary set.... Or maybe yeah....) Anyways, soon my both Daniel Smith wc sets (primary and primatek) will be arriving here soon and probably I'm the one going to get it to the shipping, I just knew about gouache and I wanted to see what was convenient to get since I'm pretty fine with three primaries, black and white. How is it to work the w&n designers gouache? I might end buying it ;v... And sorry if I'm making you waste some time....
Thanks for mentioning my box! So happy to hear you like it!
Tad Retz thank you! Pinning so people can click through your comment.
It’s beautiful! I’m tempted! The brush holder can be on the left side?
@@suel4269 ya
If you mix a drop of gum arabic to each gouache paint pan it will keep it from cracking and falling apart. Windsor & Newton sells it in a bottle.

You're absolutely right. That is the best way to keep them. :) Thanks for watching!

Thank you! This was very interesting and helpful, especially your colour recommendations and the way you Talk about values. :)
Loved this Q and A format. Very informative and love the painting, as well!
Brian Ashmore Studio thanks it was really fun to try. It was nice having a direction to talk about and not just going over basic principles.
Really helpful video. I never thought about moldy paint!! I’ll definitely have to be careful of that. Good sketchbook recommendations too. I’ll check those out. Thanks for putting this one together. Cheers.
Oh yea haha it can be a mess. Thanks for sending in a question!
Thank you for the inspiration and lots of great advice.
Great info! Lots of fast walkers in that city. 🤣
Really enjoyed this Jared. Very informative. Great painting as always dude.
Thank you, Danny! Always nice to hear from you :) I appreciate you watching.

Check out Caran d'Ache pan gouache. The colours are a little limited but they re-wet very easily.
Thank you for this great video and super helpful advice, as always.

Hah! Yes! It was :) I have painted that mcdonalds alot over the years and the hotel inside and out. :)
Funny that I stumbled on this so many years later.@@JaredCullum
i loved the video. i learned so much!
Frankie Cohen awesome! Thanks for watching :)
Thanks, I am new to gouache.
Awesome! I'm always here if you have questions.
👍
I wish we could get that type of deep well palette here in the US. Most have smaller wells and more than what I want or need.
Rashone me too! It’s not even terribly expensive. It was $20 but you can’t get it here. I did a painting for a guy over there and he offered to send me one.

How can l be good in Gouache
Were you in DC when you filmed this?! Those are my buses! 😂 sorry, total non-sequitur...
Cabin Grl haha! Yes..? I was in Bethesda Maryland so the suburbs for sure.
Jared Loves to Draw too funny! I thought that looked familiar! 😂👍🏻
m graham honey formula gotta make great for reactivating....
Bozmund Os it does! I love it for gouache. The watercolor drives me crazy for the slow dry time but it’s perfect with gouache.
