How to Paint a Portrait in Gouache | Step by Step! Tutorial - Развлечения
Thank you everyone for all of the lovely comments, it really does mean the world to me! I will try to respond to them all when I get a spare moment . Just know that I've seen them and that I am so appreciative 💛 I am working on my next video currently, which is a little more relaxed than this one.

Hello, Id like to ask, what sketch pencil did you use? It seems to be red/brown in color
Honestly, I've been in art school for years and I've learned more in this video than at school. I definitely appreciate the work you put into this video. Thank you.
This comment alone made all the effort worth it 💛 Thank you for watching!
Wow you’re getting ripped off at that school
@@Eizengoldt haha you're not wrong.
Which artist or an influencer had the most effective teaching on ur art journey?😁
@@Nushka22great question!
“Throughout the entire portrait painting process you are making choices. Some are going to be good choices and some are going to be bad choices. That’s just the way painting is. We are ultimately aiming to have more good choices than the bad and that can only really come from practice.”
I needed to hear this. Your video and teaching are excellent. I learned more in this video than I have in many I’ve paid for. Thank you and good luck on your painting journey!
I like that you kept the mixing palette so we could see how you mix the paint, it makes a lote easier to learn and capture how the paints react and interact with each other.
Love your work, thanks for the video💕
I'm so glad you liked seeing the palette, I wasn't sure if it would be helpful or not! 😄 Thanks for watching!! 💗
You're very kind for making a video this detailed. I sometimes like the sketch too much I'm afraid to ruin it with paint but this has inspired me to actually sit and practice gouache portraits... Also I'm usually lazy because pencil sketches are way faster than setting up all the painting supplies and I'm very impatient 😅
I like to take pictures of the sketch just in case the painting doesn't work out 😅
I am the same with not wanting to set up the paints sometimes 😆 Thanks so much for watching! I hope you get the chance to get those gouache paints out and have some fun! 💛
Yes thank u for keeping your pilot in frame!!!
You can really see years of experience being applied here. Love it!
Thank you so much, that means a lot! 😊
This is exactly what I wanted, i have gouache paints and I have been dreading to pain some nice human heads and today I got the tutorial from my favourite artist ❤ thank you sooo much it means a LOOOOOTTTTT TO ME
Aw I am SO glad!! Comments like this make my day ❤️ Happy painting! 😄
LOL! I love the way you worded this! "Some nice human heads"
@@amypanddirtytoo1926 hehe words like these ce Outta me due to excitement 😖🤭❤️
Yeeeesss
I love that you were so detailed with your process. It really helps to see the process and try it out yourself.
Love the mixing palette in the shot while you paint.
So pretty!!
Thank you! This is the first video Ive come across that explains the colours for portraits in such detail! So helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing this. Ive painted in gouache for years but definitely learned a few new things I’m excited to try. 😊
I don't think I have ever learnt so much from a single RUclips video so thanks so much!!
Ah this was such a nice comment to read!! Thanks so much for watching!
This was so thorough but easy to digest. Awesome instruction!
I'm so glad you made this process video with such well thought-out explanations for each step. Probably one of the best I've seen. Thank you so much. I definitely subscribed midway through the video.
Out of all the art tutorial I have seen yours is the most helpful.
wow I just learned so much. wrote two full pages with all your notes, tips, and techniques. many many thanks and I can't wait to apply that gained knowledge!
Just did my first portrait in gouache, and this helped me so much! Super fun, I’m going to have to paint more portraits. Thank you for making such an in depth video, I think a lot of your tips can apply to other mediums too, and I learned a lot for mixing skin tones 💖🥳
EXCELLENT video! That painting is amazing. The shapes are so captivating and really pleasing to look at. I hope to learn someday! ❤
This was so so useful Emily! I SO appreciate how you walked us through everything with so much detail. I think I've said this to you before but the looseness yet precision of your portrait brushstrokes is so captivating to me 😍
I always have a hard time wrapping my head around cool and warm colors (especially with blues!). Thank you for talking about this a little more in depth, I think that solved some issues for me ♥🙏🏻
I am so glad you found this helpful! Thank you so much for the lovely comment ❤️
I've been learning and practicing painting with gouache for maybe a year now, by myself, just like I did with pencil portraits, and when I see someone more skilled than me doing the things I learned on my own, it really makes me proud, like "oh my god, I do it the right way." When you picked up that lilac gouache, my eyes widened with recognition!
An incredible video!!
I love getting to see you mixing on the palette, I feel like that is such a crucial element that often gets left out. It's part of the process. In art school I often wanted to make pieces from the chaotic palette leftovers more than showing the actual painting I was working on. Your work is gorgeous.
fabulous - Thank you, Emily!
The painting turned out so amazing Em! I'm super comfortable with drawing but frightened by colors. You've inspired me to keep trying and get more practice with painting
Perhaps the best portrait tutorial I’ve ever seen. Your understanding of color, and more importantly your ability to articulate what you’re SEEING, is brilliant. Great work and thanks for sharing !
Wow! What a brilliant tutorial! Must try this very soon! Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge in such a beautifully constructed video. I’m so inspired to get busy after watching this ,you are a natural teacher as well as talented artist ! Loved this so much! !!!!
thank you so much! this video is really helpful. i learned a lot with every little explanation you shared (like the red areas of light around shadows, or the tip about constantly rotating the brush to avoid repetitive shapes). this little bits of information are the most helpful. thanks again!!!!
I absolutely adore this. You gave us real time mixing. From all the videos that I've seen learning to paint with gauche is that its best to learn how to mix well and see what colour combination gives the best result so that you don't just collect tubes
You are such a great teacher! I love learning how to understand how to create different skin tones and getting to watch you both mix colors and paint. I love your videos!
Thank you so much! 💛
Thanks for all your ideas, especially your thoughts on references. Really helps out!
I am so glad! Thanks for watching! 😄
Awesome video and well detailed! I also fell in love at the first sign omg
Just loved this. So well presented, found it… and you… informative and fascinating. Amazing to see the transformation from what, to me was confusing, to a really coherent image. Thanks and well done.
I appreciate you having the palette included in the frame.
I loved this video! Your style + explanation are so easy to digest! Thank you can’t wait to see more
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it 💛 I'm hoping to do more videos like this in the future! 😊
Beautiful portrait! Thanks for explaining everything so well, like the effects of mixing warm with warm and cool with cool vs cool with warm, really helpful!
I am so glad! 💗 Thank you so much!!
Really enjoyed the explaining of your process. So interesting and informative + just a joy to watch the portrait come together.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Emily..I just saw this creative video and I found it full of properties dynamic or statics that now I recognize some points to have in mind and to reinforce the things I have learned and need put attention into. I believe that you way of explaning mixed with your calm structurete voice makes this your content super friendly and easy to understand. Thank you and I wish you a good time to come... much success!
This longer form video was SO incredibly helpful!! Thank you thank you!!
Ah I am so glad!! Thank you for watching! ❤️
Your skills are so inspiring, I always feel the need to draw while I’m watching your videos! Thank you for sharing your process!! 💗
I love that my videos make you want to draw! That's amazing! Thank you so much for watching 💗
Thank you so much for sharing your approach, this was so thorough and informative! I found your channel a few months ago and was really inspired to try my hand at gouache portraits after watching some of your videos. I'd love to see more videos with the mixing palette since it really does help give additional context to each piece. Excellent work as always!
Thank you so much for this lovely comment! I am so glad my videos have given you some inspiration ❤️ I will be sure to include my palette in some of my future painting videos!
You are tremendously talented. Thanks for sharing this.
Gosh this makes me so inspired to paint faces! I love the head values explanation and the little red nuances in the portrait, it certainly makes for a more interesting study! Thank you for the great video 💙
Thank you so much for watching! I'm really glad you found it inspiring 💖

You're handling very well shapes and values. I like also the way you're going to essential. Never tried gouache but you give me some interest for this medium.
WONDERFUL! Appreciate your generosity in teaching. Have learned so much! Thank you 🙏. It was the perfect level of detail for me - from the number of paints, the length of video, the challenge of the painting and your commentary.

Beautiful portrait!
I just wanted to tell you how excellent this video was. It was so detailed and helpful. Aside from that, it was inspiring also. Making something that was so hard for me feel attainable made me pull out my paints that I’d shoved away for a while. I’m genuinely grateful, thank you.

Yes this style is what I’ve been aiming for with portraits! I also use primarily flat/blocky brushes. Love this!
Ooh that's amazing! I think for me, the direction of brushstrokes is the most important thing to consider when trying to achieve this style 💛 I'm so glad you enjoyed Christine!

Oh my! Thank you SO much for this. I've been getting into gouache from doing watercolor portraits and was having some difficulties. Very happy the algorithm brought me here! Also, the fact that you show your reference and palette is very helpful, and something I find frustrating that many art videos (RUclips or other sources) don't do. Subbed!
Thank you so much Derek! I'm so glad you found this video helpful 😊 I'll try to show my references and palette in videos more often!
This painting is a true gem, a breathtaking display of creativity.
Thank you so much!
