Oooooofffff... Makes me respect gouache painting a whole lot more. That explains the terrible results I got trying to follow along to a whatts attelier livestream a couple years ago

Right? I was really lucky with the online course I found, but it took me a while to realise why I was getting it wrong to begin with (the right demo had to come up 😅) and I'm still not entirely comfortable with it

I would love to see your gouache tbh 👀 And yeah, I started doing oils back when I was like 19-20 (I'm 28 now) and I'm still not comfortable. Granted I do it quite sporadically but it feels like I'm always missing something 🫠

Oooof i couldn't speak for oils. That's one intimidating medium 😬 These are all master studies or photo studies from this spring. Haven't really used them since, since I haven't had the time, but the goal was to get good enough and fast enough I could take them out with me for lighting studies

These are so good!!!! The way you use transparencies to aid the light and atmosphere is top notch. Agh if we were closer I'd be inviting you to go plain air one of these days 💚
