Autumn painting in gouache. Warm colors are making me happy these days πŸ§‘πŸ‚πŸ’› Reference photo by Elina Volkova on Pexels

Gouache painting from a photo I took this summer. I saw this stunning sunset that looked like something from a Studio Ghibli movie so I had to paint it! πŸ˜ŠπŸŒΏπŸ’–

Painting the same image with the same limited palette in 2 mediums: Gouache on left (using holbein spring green, ultramarine, and orange yellow) and digital on right (using coolorus gamut mask in ps with 3 colors)πŸ˜ŠπŸŒΏπŸ§‘πŸ’™πŸ’š

Some triad experiments using a method from James Gurney's Triads video (on left.) I chose the bottom triad for this study because of the vibrant greens.πŸ˜ŠπŸ’š On right are some screenshots of the digital process from my livestream. You can see the Coolorus gamut mask tool on the top left of my screen!

My second time painting in a more upright position with gouache, I've been enjoying it πŸ’™ For certain techniques I still prefer a lower angle but its fun to mix it up! 😊 Ref photo credit: Daniel Sessler on Unsplash

Nothing really worked better for me than drawing what I'm genuinely passionate about in th emoment. Looks like people catch up the emotion and energy that made the artwork happen and they love it. When I ry to push myyself to draw something when I don't feel like it it almost always flops
