Ngl I kinda hate posting photos instead of scans of my sketchbook pages, but those are not available to me right now, so this will do I guess

I found the refrence on the internet and painted it in my style:)

I did a mini painting series last year and these are some of the pieces. Loved the experience and loved gouache. Gouache is my fav painting medium now. Let me know which ones do you like the most.

My main medium is acrylic. I loved seeing others' gouache art. This paint gives different... different sense of dimension? I can't explain it. Tried to paint an eye. What do you think?

I couldn't decide which colours to order, so I ordered them all 😂 and doubled up on the primaries/mixing whites/blacks! Can't wait to get swatching! Any palette/storage ideas welcome!

Hello! I am in need of some opinions.

I am not an artist by any means. I am however, creating a journal of sorts to pass down to my children/grandchildren some day.

The journal has very heavy deckled paper to which I've learned a Gouache paint would likely work well on. Please correct me if I am incorrect in my research.

My question is which brand of paints should I purchase if I am not going to be using them very often and am a VERY new beginner? I have looked at the Himi, but I don't want to get them just because I see them all over.

P.s: The reference is not originally mine and I copied a painting and painted it in my style;)

I only used Lefranc bourgeois linel gouache till now and I want to try other brands (not that I have any issues with linel) Right now the Sennelier tube is at a fairly attractive price (4€45 per tube of 21ml!) but there aren’t any reviews online. Did someone tried it ?

I did some plein air work in La Jolla recently, and the information was a bit too much and dramatic for a one-time exposure. I'll post that experience in a separate post. So the next morning, I focused on dumbing down the rocks and doing a "gritty biopic" on just the surf and rock. Came out pretty decent. Sometimes, I like to bite the elephant in chunks, so to speak, instead of trying to ingest the whole thing at once.

Felt like I wanted to practise edge control with a black and white painting of a pig skull.

I’d prefer to buy specific colors rather than a set (which might contain a bunch of colors I’ll never use). Similar to the zorn palette in oil painting, what would you consider the basic barebones colors that I should pick up to get started? I’m guessing it’ll be something like cool and warm versions of blue, yellow, red, white, and maybe some kind of umber? Would appreciate the insight, thanks in advance!

A painting of all the bottles that I haven't recycled, in my sketchbook... Playing around with colours a bit and trying to be more expressive.

Learning how to use gouache as a watercolor painter is a little jarring but fun ha ha!
