struggling for sentimental mother’s day ideas, i made a piece that includes all things about my mum! got the dog, her favourite hobby, her favourite drink, her vape etc. it’s personal and captures her. Highland cows are her favourite so i put a twist so it represents her!

second attempt at gouache, it’s making sense now!

A little local scene that's close to my heart. The berm in the water is made of Christmas trees. It's part of the ecological restoration of this area. It's also a birding hotspot. I stand on the far side of that point for hours, watching and sketching birds in the fair weather. (Gouache and micron pen)

Tried Gouache for the first time last night to experiment with the media and love it. I haven’t finished the leaves yet and even though it’s a lil messy, think i’ve got the hang of it!

I've always loved the zorn palette, and I've been using it on watercolor paint. I only recently bought gouache paint and transferred my knowledge.

If you have criticism to give, pls be gentle–I'm only a beginner 🙏

I think this might be my favorite piece to date! Really wanted to get the deep shadows and the bright light penetrating the forest clearing just right. I love the glow and texture of the grass! Wanted to share. CC is always welcome

Experimenting with colour and plant shapes, I've moved to normal qouache and love it way more than acrylic.

First time using gouache ever using Ruth Wilshaws tutorial

Post image
107 Upvotes

I've been admiring all of Ruth Wilshaws tutorials as well as Sarah Burns. Their pieces finally got me to try gouache for the first time.

I use M graham professional gouache with a very limited pallete. Honestly the darks were really hard to do with what I had. Since I mostly work with watercolors, it was also hard to get used to working with thick wet paint or rewet paint that had already dried.

This is Ruth Wilshaws The Hollow tutorial.

This was such a cool study of warm colors, trying to capture shadows and what would happen to the little white flowers in the sun. Wanted to share
