Helpful tips, beautiful mini paintings Sarah! I am about to venture into the world of gouache… Thanks for sharing the issues of beach/dunes painting!! 🙏🏾😃👍🏾
I’m very new to painting and trying to understand colour is a huge challenge. This video is an amazing help! I was having trouble seeing the blue in the shadows until you staring painting with a blue and then it just jumped out at me. So cool. Thank you 😊
There’s the added challenge of painting the effects of light/atmosphere - which throughout history was often represented by blue. Until the early impressionists started doing that, it wasn’t really common, and then suddenly, paintings look so atmospheric! Look at John Singer Sargent’s work…incredible understanding of light in the landscape
Once when I was in a field to paint a sunset (so very warm yellow light), I put my open white paper sketchbook on the ground next to me while I was getting my flask of tea, and noticed the cast shadows from taller blades of grass looked bright bluey-purple on the white paper. The colour was such a surprise I reached for a matching coloured pencil and just traced and coloured in the image. It’s one of my favourite pages and a really memorable colour lesson learned.
I just discovered you few weeks ago and I'm so grateful! I love your vlogs and tutorials and everything, THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing and all the work you put into! It's so encouraging!
This is very helpful Sarah. I have a flu and feeling so miserable and this video/ vlog has been so calming and inspiring. I love your painting process and mixing. It’s just so cool. Thank you so much.
before start a paiting, i usually dilute a little bit of black pigment on a glass of water and then i use a big brush to "paint" the whole paper with that water, in both sides. after that i let the paper dry on sun, so it will look a little gray, but it wont mix with the painting at all
Wow! I never realized how hard it is to gauge the colors in full sun while you are sweating it out. I'm building up my nerves to paint the lake nearby at the park on the park bench. It's 85-90F here just outside of Atlanta so I try to wait until late afternoon. I'm going to do it one day this summer. I just can't get over how hard it was for you to see it in full sun, but I get it now. I'm so used to observing from photos or a window. Thanks for this!
Such a useful, informative video. Thanks Sarah! This is going to help so many people. I love the colour studies you did and can see why you're drawn to dunes!
My biggest fear in art is colors. I tend to leave things in pencil or black and white bc i fear messing up with the wrong colors. This was such an amazing help at getting started and losing a bit of that fear. As always i kove watching your videos, happy holidays and have a great start of the new year!
Hi Sarah I always enjoy your videos but I really would like to see more videos of you using water mixable oil paints. Although I enjoy watching all painting videos I have to admit that the oil videos are the ones that really get my attention...thanks
@@SarahBurnsStudio I understand but I remember back in the day when you were using a guerilla paint box and those were nice to watch. I hope you get back into it at some point.
@@bazzinator7477 I still use it quite a lot with gouache 😄 but the whole world of oil is not working for me until I can really spread out and get messy. Hopefully in the next year or two we will find our own home that I can create a big studio in!
This was a fabulous video. Watching your thought processes and seeing you paint what you see…that was great! I love when you paint the sea …one of my favorites! You can’t paint this too often for me. And seeing your notes really helps! I noticed you pinched the bristles of your brush when painting the grass shadows. Is there a particular reason you do this? Does it make your bristles paint a little stiffer? Very interested to know. Thank you so much for sharing this …I really learned quite a bit from this video. Thank you so much!! Nell
I thought I would share something with you that made me laugh. I thought it might give you a smile as well. My close caption was on while watching your video and every time you said the word "dunes" it came up "dudes". Now that would be an interesting painting. Should I use watercolor or gouache? Do I need to prep the surface first? LOL. I love your videos. Both technique and locations thrill my artistic brain.
I love listening to you, I don’t believe it would matter what you were talking about. Looking forward to hearing about your review of gouache brushes. Love your sand dune paintings, great tutorial 💖
The light is so harsh! I have struggled as well with the difference of colors on the page while being in the sun/shade and how the turn up. I'm not really sure how to compensate for that error- except to keep trying haha. :D Happy painting!
I notice sometimes the book tries to close on you, might I suggest a little clip to hold the book open so you don’t have to worry about it. Thanks for the video ❤️
Good video. Just an observation: only you will know whether you painted in sun or shadow, so matching colors might not be a huge issue. It does matter for getting proper values though.
@@SarahBurnsStudio mine too. I can do perfect black and white value studies, but cannot successfully translate that into color. It's almost like my math block - my mind just doesn't want to do it.
Even though we paint different subjects, i find your information on water control and colours super informative and helpful. I still suck at gouache, im a much better watercolourist, but every time i watch these video's it inspires to pick up the palette and try again. I've even dabbled in some landscapes now, just to try something new! Point being, yes, this video was super helpful and i would love more on your colour noting process, including all the blunders.
This is SUCH a helpful video! Thank you so much for sharing this. It's invaluable to get to hear the thought process and reasoning behind artistic decisions. I also so appreciate how you put it together and layered images to illustrate what you were saying. 10/10! Chef's Koss! Can't wait to put these into practice :)
I actually love how yellow the sand is in the first painting. You’ve most likely already realized this but beyond the context of being right there on the beach, it really is an appealing palette because of the relationship of the complimentary colors yellow and purple at a wide contrast in value. I celebrate your accomplish and appreciate your content!
Thank you for this vid! Mixing color is so challenging for beginners like myself and this vid was very informative. Eventhough they were studies they look beautiful and the colors are so harmonious with each other!
Sarah Yellow ochre mixed with any purple makes sand I use French ultramarine and aliz crimson and yellow ochre.....this tip was from Roos Scherring awsom artist 🥰🥰🥰 thanks for sharing yes I found this helpful Sarah
Thank you for sharing the reality! I admit I paint mostly in my van with the doors open so my environment is quite controlled because of that. I struggle with wind it is my frenemy keeping me cool yet getting sand and dirt and leaves in my paint. I cringed in pain when I saw that sand on the top of your palate. All I could think after that was how is she going to clean that!? You inspire me ❤️💝
Sounds like you have a great setup being able to paint from the van! I would love to do that someday. With my palette, I ended up spraying it with water, then wiping as much off as possible with my paper towel, and it worked pretty well (admittedly there are still some grains in there and probably always will be!)
I would love to know where you got that little brush and a pencil holder and what it's called please. I'm so looking for something just like that. The one with the velcro that you're using while you're painting the dunes. Thank you and I love watching your videos! I just found you on TH-cam yay

This was extremely helpfull for me! I would watch a ton of those tutorials from you, because it is exactly what I needed, right now, at this point of my painting journey. Thank you so much!
I just found your channel and love all your tips. I have never used gouache before but think I’d like to try it. What do you do with your dirty water when you are painting on the beach?
Hi Sarah! This video is amazing! It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. I always see swatches on other artists’ sketchbook pieces and I thought that it was just them picking out what colors they wanted to use. I really wanted to know the WHY and the HOW behind this process. I’ve never painted with gouache, and I’m mainly an abstract painter with acrylic and watercolor; all of it is just play and experimentation for me. I have all the colors under the rainbow bc mixing colors scares me lol it is super intimidating. But I find myself as a beginner painter for the past 5 years wanting to step up my game and move into intermediate mode i.e. understanding the color mixing process more fully, and actually planning pieces instead of *just* playing. Do you have a similar video like this one about using watercolor en plein aire? I know they don’t behave quite the same as gouache.. thank you for your time and help!
Sarah, This video is extremely informative. I appreciate your real time honesty regarding your process. This makes me feel like gathering up my paints and sunscreen and venturing out! Thank you very much.
I love these color studies!! I tend to get too dull with my colors when I'm trying to "match" something. I love the way paintings look when I exaggerate the colors that I see! I love to see the varieties of colors you end up using!! Beautiful!
Wow I have got to do some color studies now. I have been painting for almost 3 years and I have never really tried to do any color mixing before putting my paint on the paper. I definitely see by your study how painting in the sunlight or shadow makes a difference in what you are doing. So many details & lessons learned from this video. Thanks for sharing this wonderful informational video with us. Thanks for taking us to the beach/dunes as well.
So glad you found it helpful! It's a very relaxing activity as well. There's no pressure to paint a pretty picture. Just mix and learn! Great for days when you don't have as much time, or not feeling ultra inspired

Nothing better than being out and painting what’s around you. Especially so if by the sea! 👨🏼🦰👌🎨🖌
Sarah, painting with sunglasses for eyes that have hard time due to bright glare…any comments? This was a fab video!
I can’t see color properly with sunglasses. It’s better to use an umbrella or a white reflector like the one James Gurney made
I love this. I'm a new learner and I finally know what those little swatches are for. Thank you so much

Pinching the bristles spreads them out kind of like a fan shape, and allows me to create very thin lines which is perfect for grasses :)
