Starting Loosely in Gouache
With gouache, you can start loose and find the drawing in the paint. (Link to video on Facebook)
Questions from my Instagram page:
Yay Mukund asks: "In gouache, is it typically easier to lighten dark colors or darken light colors?"
skyredoubt asks: "Who was doing the videography all this time? Could not have been you, being busy painting!"
Sky: I'm trying to give my left hand a job.
Suzy asks: "Awesome ! I love how you’re brave to just paint no matter where you are! Are your gouache colors listed on your blog? I mix white with my watercolor."
My answer: I used terra rosa, yellow ochre, Rowney blue, and titanium white in a Pentalic watercolor sketchbook. You can use the white with the watercolor, too, but tube gouache gives you more "oomph."
Janet Lobardi asks: "Did she know you were painting her? Do you ask permission?"
Janet Lobardi asks: "Did she know you were painting her? Do you ask permission?"
My answer: She never looked over. If she had, I was ready to smile and say: "Hope you don't mind, I'm painting your portrait," and then show her. Whoever she is, she'd beautiful and I thank her.
Lisa Nelson says: "My biggest problem is that my water becomes cloudy and contaminated almost immediately, so I'd feel as if I'd constantly be spilling it out and needing fresh water in the field which isn't practical. With watercolor, the brush seems to release most of the pigment onto the paper, so the water doesn't get as dirty, but I don't find that this is the case with gouache. Or, perhaps it's just my user-error. Any tips to keep your water clean would be helpful."
My answer: My water gets fouled quickly too. Tip: When I want to change colors, I try to get most of the paint off into the rag so I don't swish all the pigment into the water. Problem was in this instance I didn't have a rag, just half a Kleenex. Had a big mess to clean up in the Grand Central bathroom, and they don't have paper towels there either!

Yay Mukund asks: "In gouache, is it typically easier to lighten dark colors or darken light colors?"
My answer: I'm not quite sure what you mean, but with gouache you can do either of those things, but the key is to try to hit the right value with each stroke, and use an absolute minimum of back-and-forth noodling with the brush, or you'll get a mess.
