Focus on Learning To: Paint "Gouache Lilies" Episode 5b

Hi all y’all! Can you believe we are already on our 5th project? We continue our adventure of the Yellow Lilies this week as I paint the flower part of this project. You’ll notice right away how different the Gouache looks compared to the Watercolor.

Watercolor gets its luminous glow when the light goes through the transparent watercolor pigment and bounces back the white of the paper.

In contrast, Gouache is a more opaque medium…when the light hits the surface of a Gouache painting, the pigment particles bounce the light back. The paper doesn’t come into play to create the glow, you have to add the glow with white/light pigments.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Have a great week, and don’t forget to join me on Tuesdays, 3:30-ish CST for a live broadcast on YouTube and Facebook. Vicki Ross, Vicki Artist (Youtube), Vicki Louise Neil Ross (FB). It is a Q&A session, mixed with a freestyle project I demo.
