Hey everyone! Just a heads up if you'd like access to this reference photos (and dozens more!) consider joining my Patreon. I post new photos each month 😊📷 www.patreon.com/sarahburnsstudio
I’m in awe of the richness these layers and colors create. Thank you. I must look back through your tutorials to learn each of these gouache steps. And simplifying landscapes. Lovely 🙏🏼
I don't learn a lot from time lapsed video and music, even when you time lapse you are explaining your processes. You are an excellent teacher Sarah. Thank you, for sharing your knowledge, processes and thoughts.
If you don't at least occasionally think "I wish I hadn't done that" then you aren't taking risks so you're not learning much either. It really helped me work in my sketchbook to learn to look forward to and enjoy those "Well, that didn't work the way I wanted" moments and appreciate that they teach me much more than doing something I'm good at that I already know will work fine.
That’s a beautiful colorful painting of the mountains. I have got to try simplifying some of my paintings. Sometimes I do get so focused on getting all the details of the reference in the painting, that I forget that it is perfectly fine to leave out some of the things & details. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video with us. 💕
Thanks for this video Sarah ! It was so helpful.. especially the part about simplifying the landscape and making thumbnails ! :) As always, your tips add so much value and it’s a pleasure to see you paint !
You just answered a bunch of questions about gouache and abstracted landscapes that I have had fora long time. Thank you. I have been working mostly in watercolor that are extremely abstracted. I have had this pull to work with gouache and the need to create abstracted landscapesbut had no clue how to begin. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.! I love your work. Simply stunning.
I’ve been trying to simplify my paintings lately; I often get bogged down with details and it ends up making a less readable image. Lovely video as always! 💕
This was such a helpful video, thank you! I’ve wanted to try painting in this style but it looks so ‘simple’ that it becomes overwhelming to know where to start or why it’s not turning out quite right. I’m excited to play around and use the tips I’ve learned! Love the colours and atmosphere in your painting.
What a treat! Thank you Sarah for taking the time to make this video. It is a condensed course in itself! So useful to me right now, I will watch it again and again tomorrow while I paint. Thank you again 🙏🏻🌈
I'm mostly a water colour artist, but i've been craving learning an opaque medium like gouache and oils, so i've taken to trying to learn them. Gouache is a whole new beast though and i've been really struggling with it. I think my main issue right now is water control. Practically been binge watching your video's over the past few days trying to learn. Thanks for all the tips! i think one of the big things to remember when learning any new medium is to be patient. No one is going to be the next davinci the moment they pick up a brush
So true!! It takes a lot of time and repetition to get used to the subtleties of each medium. With gouache, even after years I still have to be hyper-aware of my water use in each brush stroke.
Thanks. This was a very good and inspiring break down of the process and technique. I'm experimenting in oils right now, but the principles easily translate and it was fun to see this beautiful painting come to life
Greatly appreciated the video of your brilliant sketch book, such an inspirational reference to me how you've planned it out and done it too finish in a year. Thanks again and best wishes 🙏
This is definitely helpful! Thank you! My gouache paint just arrived yesterday. I am going to be using it with my watercolor to see if that will help me find the process I truly enjoy for putting color on my illustrations.
I like this idea of a sketchbook a year (or more) I have a sketchbook I haven’t used much. But perhaps I add this to my goals for this next year. Awesome!
@@SarahBurnsStudio yeah I think it would be like an art journal. And I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it that way till you brought it up. I journal daily already, why not art journal? And see my progress. It would be so cool. The journal I need to finish currently isn’t great quality but it’ll get me going, and no fear of it having to be beautiful since it’s just for me and poor quality. It’ll be a great new habit.
Really helpful advice! Thank you!! The shadow next to the bright highlight on the left hill is 😍 I really liked the first two sketchbook pages you showed. Having the main painting smaller than the underpainting is such a neat look.
I was going to comment about how realistic your paints were then i got to the part where you said you prefer more whimsical but j view yours as realistic and i aspire to be like you.
Beautiful. I'm going to try this exercise. I am new to the medium. I find it tricky as I work with watercolours, oils and acrylics. It is another medium I need to get the hang of. Either I do too watery or too dry. And I find the layers reactivate... So I need to be careful with brushstrokes but so far I like it! Thank you for the tutorial. Hopefully it won't be a mess... 🤣
Absolutely gorgeous as always. I especially love this one. Can't wait to do a try of this technique on my second look through. 🏴. Especially love the velvety moss green look on the main mountain as well as your imaginative color interpretation.
Beautiful as always, Sarah. You make it look so easy! I had to laugh when you talked about paintings turning to mud. Um, yep that's what happened when I followed one of your skillshare classes 😆 Got very disillusioned, but after seeing this tutorial I'm going to give it another go. Thanks for explaining things in such detail, much appreciated. You're my favourite landscape painter 🎨 💕
Aww sorry to hear that Lena, but just remember that EVERY artist has a similar experience. Keep at it, you will definitely get there. I make plenty of muddy paintings. Sometimes I paint over them, other times I just toss them (or tuck them away to look at in the future to remind me how far I've come)
An inspirational video - thank you! I'm very interested in that wee box you demonstrate but the Jackson's link has expired. I have tried searching for it but without success. Could you let me have the name of the maker or any other info to help me find it? Thanks. (I'm in Scotland)
I love doing simplified landscape studies. I used to loathe landscapes, but the more I do them the more I find how versatile they can be. I just got a range of professional gouache (Mostly M Graham with a bit of Winsor&Newton and Holbein) for when I run out of my student ranges (Arteza, Himi, Arrtx).
Hello Sarah Love your art and your videos. You talk in this video about the difference in process between gouache and watercolor. Would you consider making a video like this one where you make a gouache painting and a watercolor painting from the same reference foto? To explain and show us the difference in medium and process? 💜
Even though I haven’t delved into gouache yet, this is so very helpful for me, just for landscape practice. Though I’d like to think I paint loosely and abstractly at times, my colors tend to be very realistic. I need to branch out and get more creative ! I love the underpainting idea- would this work with watercolor or would it get too muddy? What I really need to do is what you said at the end, paint many of the same scene! I tend to be a one and done! Gotta stop that! Again, super helpful video!
Absolutely beautiful painting as always, Sarah. The mossy green from your pallete is calling me! Simplification is something I REALLY struggle with, and in plein aire it seems nearly impossible, especially when you have unideal lighting situations - squinting and most everything is the same value. T.T But that is when you use your artistic license, ig? I also really loved the bright underpainting colors. Are you using acrylic/gesso for the bright underpaintings? Underpaintings are something I want to expirament with next year. :) Thank you for sharing your knowledge! :) Happy painting! :D
Thank you so much for this. I always feel overwhelmed with landscapes that I don't know how to even begin to paint it because everything I see is interesting and beautiful. Then comes the anxiety of ruining the pristine white paper.
-central Wisconsin: How long do you have to wait in between painting colors so you don’t get a bleed effect. In attention to that, how long do you have to let the page dry before you can shut your paint book?
It depends on how much water you use, and if it's 100% cotton paper (which takes longer). First wash is wetter so maybe 15 minutes? Each additional layer has less water so maybe around 5ish per layer?
Thanks for a fab tutorial, a gorgeous landscape and love those purples…what gouache paints would you suggest for a beginner? as I’d like to add some to my Santa’s wish list lol.
Hi Sarah, Had a question about the clove bud oil. I know that if you add it to oil paint, the paint almost never drys. Do you know what effect this might have on the drying of the gouache or if the oil, even though it is just a drop in each color, will dry funny or stain the paper?
Thanks for another excellent video! I wonder if it is still possible to order your books in any way? My husband came to me a day ago and said he had planned to order your kickstarter books for me as a late Christmas present but that when he went to Kickstarter the campaign was over by november 30th and he could not find any other information on how to get the books and now came to me and confessed his failure. As you can imagine I was rather heartbroken.....
Aww that's sweet of him! I do plan on selling the books through my website after the Kickstarter orders are all shipped out. So for now we can estimate February
I used your techniques here on a painting, but I'm not sure how we're supposed to hashtag you? I remember you saying what hashtag to use in one of your videos. I'm new to the whole instagram thing.....
Alright maybe you mentioned this but i didnt here it..you say to not use your photo...so we arent able to follow along with you? I understand when people say not to "take" the photo since thats illegal but im not familiar with private use of pictures. I Thought it was okay to privately use photos to practice? As long as you give credit if you post it anywhere for the public and you cant profit from its sale in anyway.
Hey! Thank you for asking :) Here's the thing - for the last few years I've noticed a pattern. I post a video, and a few weeks later I get endless messages and posts from people on social media tagging me in their artwork showing how they painted my photo (or literally copied my art, even if it's not a tutorial) and very often they are selling it. In this particular case, this exact image is one of the images in my December patreon photo pack - something they pay for. So it's a special circumstance. Of course, if someone were to use my image in private practice and not share it, then I can't help that and I hope they learned something. But nowadays the morality of stealing images and art is unknown to many young artists and I'd rather ere on the side of caution and contribute to their education in this matter. I hope that makes sense! I'm more than happy to inspire people and if you end up painting this and learn something then awesome. It's just a matter of educating the public about this topic - many people have never thought of it before.
Change your attitude about learning. Continue watching tutorials, but put just as much time into painting, and much more. Know that we all started at the same place, and time and dedication brought us to where we are. If you love it, you'll keep doing it no matter what :)
@@SarahBurnsStudio thats what i´m doing😏... sounded more mad than intended^^ just after 20 really happy failed mistakes of trying and annoying messy little accidents i need just one damn success to stay motivated^^ i´m dealing with a bunch of mental health 💩issues and the last year was kind of hard, cause my medication numbed down every interest or motivation i had... after feeling nothing else as insignificant boredom and meaningless anger, i found finally something that wasn't irrelevant and boring: gouache! I played with it, i messed it up, i tried to get the values into my eyes, my head, my heart and through my hand somehow on the paper… had just messed up another one with to much water when i was writing that whiny comment xD I will of course not stop trying! for now i´m still motivated, but impatience and a tiny Little bit afraid of my bipolar tendency to lack of motivation and depression. i dont know when the next bad episode is coming, but i'm pretty sure it will be again at some point. I can't work because of my mental Health and instability, so I have time. and due to the isolation caused by the pandemic, I have even more time. so i have nothing but myself, 60 arteza colors, 90 x a5 and 64 x a4 sheets of watercolor paper^^ 20 of the small ones are.... messy little todler-artist masterpieces.. i call them: Collection of Bluegreenbrowndarkblackgreymud!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video with us. 💕
I know what you mean! Copying is great for learning. It takes more time with the paint to let your own artistic vision come through.
@@SarahBurnsStudio Yes, I am finding that out as well on my painting journey. 😊
I learn something new every time I watch your channel. I had never heard of using an under color. Great idea!
it's so much fun to choose a bright or "unusual" color for the underlayer!
Omg Sarah! These sketchbook entries had my mouth agape and my heart skipping beats!!! INCREDIBLE
Wow thank you!
Thank you for your great pieces of advice ❤
Awesome demo.. Love the effects
Your dry brush technique is second to none. I think it actually defines your overall style quite a bit. Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Ask me not to make a dry brush texture and I'll hand you you blank page 🤣
I’m watching again because I’m determined to paint my own photo of California Poppies . Love your dry brushing.
Very helpful! Love all your art work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Love your purple mountains!!

i love seeing all the different colours in the hills when i look out the backdoor, makes me wish i was a landscape painter lol
Thank you for your videos Sarah. I love the trees in your sketchbook. How do you do the black line work? Would love videos just on trees ! :)
I do have a couple videos sharing how I do that - if you look at my "drawing" playlist and my "live stream replay" playlist :)
Thank you for the insight into your approach. I’m beginning gouache and I like seeing the real time choices and marks.
So glad you found it helpful!
This is definitely helpful! Thank you! My gouache paint just arrived yesterday. I am going to be using it with my watercolor to see if that will help me find the process I truly enjoy for putting color on my illustrations.

wonderful inspiring video as always ^_^
I was going to comment about how realistic your paints were then i got to the part where you said you prefer more whimsical but j view yours as realistic and i aspire to be like you.
Thank you! I do like having a nice balance of realistic and expressive :)
Art is about expressing yourself, grow as an individu and enjoy the process of creating something not the end of the journey.
This is really helpful thank you. What masking tape is best so the paper doesn’t tear? Also is hot or cold pressed paper best for gouache?
Beautiful. I'm going to try this exercise. I am new to the medium. I find it tricky as I work with watercolours, oils and acrylics. It is another medium I need to get the hang of.

I suspect I might like those more. At the moment trying these for now. Thank you! ❤

Hey! I typically just use watercolor or diluted gouache for the vibrant underpainting
This is so helpful and the end painting looks fab. Do you by any chance have a similar video for watercolour?
Well if you look through my watercolor playlist there are quite a few tutorials, and videos showing my process for loose expressive landscapes
@@SarahBurnsStudio I'll have a nosy 😊 thank you

Thank you so much for this. I always feel overwhelmed with landscapes that I don't know how to even begin to paint it because everything I see is interesting and beautiful. Then comes the anxiety of ruining the pristine white paper.
I understand the feeling! It's definitely beneficial to get a sketchbook that is just for experiments and that only you will see ☺

I use watercolor and own some gouache. Do you need to let layers dry in between with gouache? That palette is out of stock. 😞
It helps to let each layer dry, unless you want a soft blended effect (like watercolor).
Hello ! I would like to know the name of the palette (gouache) on your video ! I looked on jackson art site and didn't find it ! Thanks
Its a product I'm reviewing which I'll be sharing a video about in February - it's called a Redgrass Artist Wet Palette

My problem with gouache is keeping the paint moist on the pallet after mixing a color.
This is why I keep a spritz bottle nearby, I mist it every few minutes
Not overly wet but enough so it doesn't harden
3 A’s (Amazing as always).
Hello
howdy
Thank you for this, my biggest downfall is simplifying a scene... it can be so frustrating because it ends up looking like a 5 year old painted it.
Most paintings start out looking that way! With patience and more layers they slowly become a little better
being beginner sucks... every try ends up in ruined mud... 🙄 i´m at the point that i´m afraid of every brush stroke....
Change your attitude about learning. Continue watching tutorials, but put just as much time into painting, and much more. Know that we all started at the same place, and time and dedication brought us to where we are. If you love it, you'll keep doing it no matter what :)
@@SarahBurnsStudio thats what i´m doing😏... sounded more mad than intended^^
just after 20 really happy failed mistakes of trying and annoying messy little accidents i need just one damn success to stay motivated^^
i´m dealing with a bunch of mental health 💩issues and the last year was kind of hard, cause my medication numbed down every interest or motivation i had... after feeling nothing else as insignificant boredom and meaningless anger, i found finally something that wasn't irrelevant and boring: gouache!
I played with it, i messed it up, i tried to get the values into my eyes, my head, my heart and through my hand somehow on the paper… had just messed up another one with to much water when i was writing that whiny comment xD
I will of course not stop trying!
for now i´m still motivated, but impatience and a tiny Little bit afraid of my bipolar tendency to lack of motivation and depression.
i dont know when the next bad episode is coming, but i'm pretty sure it will be again at some point. I can't work because of my mental Health and instability, so I have time. and due to the isolation caused by the pandemic, I have even more time.
so i have nothing but myself, 60 arteza colors, 90 x a5 and 64 x a4 sheets of watercolor paper^^
20 of the small ones are.... messy little todler-artist masterpieces.. i call them: Collection of Bluegreenbrowndarkblackgreymud!
