My latest gouache tutorial is now available on my Youtube channel. In this video, I’m painting a mountain scene using a limited palette of four Holbein Acryla Gouache colors: Pale Lilac, Burnt Sienna, Misty Blue and Ash Blue (plus Titanium White). This palette gives me lots of opportunity for value exploration and color harmony.

I’m falling ever deeper in love with Acryla Gouache. They’re wonderful to work with - velvety, opaque, rich, matte, layerable, vibrant colors. They dry quickly once applied but can stay workable for days or even weeks on the Masterson’s Sta-wet palette, so there is no waste! Combined with some colored pencil and Panpastel, I think I’ve found my favorite illustration media. I’ve recently been working with Panpastel and I’m so excited about exploring it more in future videos.

I show my palette while I’m mixing colors and explaining the whole process from beginning to end. Check it out and please subscribe if you’d like to see more!
