First of all, thank you everyone for the massive feedback you all sent after my last post – I’ll definitely do an update on my first year without social media – I only see this as the beginning, or rather, deleting the profiles as the end point to something I no longer needed. I’ll just have to go through all your comments and sort them now.
Today I have another tutorial post, a landscape painting with gouache for you. The tall golden grasses and spruce forests are typical for summer in the small mountain range in Northern Germany where I come from (called Harz mountains). Painting these scenes always reminds me of childhood summers.
Since I filmed this tutorial, I’ve been practicing my landscape painting with gouache, and although I’m progressing slowly, I see a few things in this painting I’d do differently now. Mainly, I’d try to just leave some strokes as they are and refrain from overpainting them. But it’s interesting, we always learn and make progress when we do something a lot. I’m definitely enjoying landscape painting with gouache and watercolor lately.
Here’s the video:

Lovely! What elements determine your choice of gouache vs watercolor? Chris
Thanks! They’re really interchangable since they’re water-based mediums, so they can be used at the same time. I tend to grab gouache when I do these landscape studies.
