PROCESS VIDEO // ghost girl in gouache
🕑 Added 2020-10-31 11:30:24 +0000 UTCHere's the process video for the gouache painting I posted earlier today! Again, it's sped up to twice the original speed. With gouache, I found I could do a watercolor-style 'underpainting' where I figure out the lighting and values of the painting before detailing it further. Going from thin, watered-down texture to thicker texture worked well! Painting light on dark is also an option but it doesn't always work that well, so I tried to keep the light-on-dark limited to final highlights. Hope you enjoy!

I switched to my desktop to view the video with better definition and it looks like a derwent coloursoft pencil in ginger?

any tips for mixing colors in gouache?
Loish
I used about 10 colors or so! I did mix quite a lot, that's what I think is really nice about gouache. With a limited palette, you can create a lot of intermediate tones quite easily! Most of the colors I used were brown/orange, dark blue, black, and white. I mixed them all together in different ways to create the middle tones.
