Here’s the process video for the gouache studies I posted yesterday! For some reason it didn’t film the process for the last face so it jumps straight to the finishing details, but hopefully that’s not too big of a problem. 

I love watching the effect of the paint dry during videos like this - you can see that the color and texture slowly changes. You can speed the video up or slow it down using the gear button if you want to watch it at a different speed! Hope you enjoy and have a lovely weekend ❤

For the women on the right how did you get that cool skin tone? The blue mix with white? And how many colors did you use for this? Limited? Thank you!

hey sharon! i think i just used more greyish / desaurated tones for her skin. my palette was limited, it was mostly reds/pinks and then some black/white/blue for the cooler tones!

Another question is what are the names of the color you used in this?

Loish

the pink color comes from opera pink! as for the other ones, i'm not sure, let me get back to you on that!

Loish

hey! here I am again ~ so the warm tones were a mixture of opera pink with venetian red, cadmium orange and lemon yellow. the cooler tones came from greyscale tones mixed in (black & white), and some winsor blue. hope this helps!

I enjoyed watching you paint. I find painting/color intimidating and I realize more that I should paint like I draw/be confident. I also liked that you dropped your paintbrush (something I would do) and it didn't derail your process. I'd love to develop the great sense of shape that you have. Thanks for sharing.

thank you! what has helped me a lot when painting traditionally is to use a limited color palette. I find it difficult to blend colors with paints but if there's only a few of them, it is much more intuitive! and I also like using opaque paints, you can always paint over mistakes :) that's what made me not worry so much about having dropped the brush!

I’m late and I’ve been checking in. I need to think about shapes when I paint it gives so much depth to the painting like it’s done here. Great job and very satisfying. Although I wish I could see the paints as you mixed them in.

that's a good point! next time I'll try to get the plate with the paint mixing in the frame too.
