Study in gouache

in #art • 5 years ago (edited)

Been away from sketching for a while...

Trying all weekend to get back into it. Practicing by copying master works.

This one is done after one of the paintings from a beautiful book called "Downland" by Roger Coleman.

      Thank you @veryspider! :)

      I started out with a light background wash in watercolor. And then built up the portrait in gouache.

        Ah, yes, I thought so... I mean the title says your mediums, but I couldnt be sure where you used what :) Gouache looks to be more controllable than watercolours, I am interested in learning it :)

          Yes, you could say it's more controllable. Because you can use it opaque, you don't have to be so careful about building your painting from light to dark. But if you stay away from the white paint, you can use it transparent, the same way you use watercolors.
          You should definitely try it!
