In episode three, I’ll show you how I paint this waterfall using gouache a little differently (more like watercolor). Gouache is incredibly versatile, and I rarely use one single method while painting landscapes. This class shows you how I dilute the gouache in order to approach the painting from a watercolor mindset.

In this class, I will demonstrate:

The sketch process
Diluting the gouache
Negative painting & adding thick details
Achieving a painterly style

Materials

Winsor & Newton Gouache
Seawhite of Brighton Watercolor Sketchbook

Colors:

Zinc white
Cadmium free lemon yellow
Permanent alizarin crimson
Burnt Sienna (barely used)
Prussian Blue
Perylene Black (which is a SUPER dark green)

About This Series

Gouache Landscapes is a series of "bite size" classes (all under an hour - Episode 1 is a bit shorter than usual) that each demonstrate a variety of techniques and strategies for getting the most out of gouache. There is no specific upload schedule, but my plan is to release them every 2-3 weeks.

Episode 1 - Misty Mountains
Episode 2 - Autumn Forests
Episode 3 - Waterfall
Episode 4 - Beach
