Demo 76: Garza blanca sobre el lago

¡Hola a todos! En la demo de hoy vamos a pintar juntos una imagen muy otoñal de una garza blanca sobrevolando un lago. Se trata de un tutorial muy sencillo, apto para todos los niveles, que no nos llevará más de 20 minutos, así que os animo a coger los pinceles porque creo que el resultado os va a sorprender. Además, como muchos me comentáis que los líquidos de enmascarar os suelen dar bastantes problemas, a veces cuesta retirarlos del papel, pueden dañarlo, tardan demasiado en secar… Precisamente en este ejercicio vamos a prescindir de ellos y utilizaremos gouache blanco para pintar la garza. Ya veréis cómo, de una forma muy sencilla, conseguimos un efecto suelto y realista. También aprovecharemos para trabajar los reflejos y crear esa atmósfera otoñal tan bonita ¡jugando con solo tres colores! Como siempre, más abajo os dejo la lista de materiales y la foto de referencia para descargar. Cualquier duda que tengáis, os leo en los comentarios. ¡Buen fin de semana!

Hi everyone! In today’s demo, we’re going to paint a very autumnal scene together, featuring a white heron flying over a lake. This is a very simple tutorial, suitable for all levels, and it won’t take us more than 20 minutes, so I encourage you to grab your brushes because I think the result will surprise you. Also, as many of you have told me that masking fluid can sometimes be quite tricky to work with, it can be difficult to remove from the paper, it may damage it, and it can take too long to dry… In this exercise, we’re going to skip it altogether and use white gouache to paint the heron instead. You’ll see how easily we can achieve a loose and realistic effect. We’ll also take the opportunity to work on reflections and create that beautiful autumn atmosphere using just three colors! As always, you’ll find the materials list and the reference photo to download below. If you have any questions, I’ll be reading your comments. Have a great weekend!

Hi Alicia! I absolutely love your tutorials! I tried this one, and everything was going well until I got to the part where I had to add the white gouache for the bird. For some reason, the gouache didn’t seem to stay on my brush properly. When I tried to paint, it seemed to move toward the sides of the brushstroke instead of giving me a strong, solid white. I'm not sure if I'm explaining well. My watercolor layer was completely dry, and I didn’t add any water to the gouache or the brush. Since this is my first time using gouache and I’m still a beginner painter, I’m wondering if I did something wrong. Do you usually wet your brush before picking up or mixing the gouache? Have you ever had this happen? Thank you so much for your help and for your wonderful tutorials. You’re an excellent teacher and artist!

Hi Emiliana! Thank you so much! I’m really happy to hear that you’re enjoying the tutorials. I think gouache can be a little tricky to use at first, but you’ll see that it’s actually very simple once you get the hang of it. In this case, because the gouache is already quite creamy since I use it straight from the tube, it’s enough for the brush to be just slightly damp. Make sure to remove most of the water so that the brush isn’t too wet before picking up the paint. The paint itself is quite thick and spreads easily across the paper, so there’s no need to mix it with much water. If we add too much water, what happens — and I think this might be what happened in your case — is that we have less control over the paint, and once it dries, the white becomes more transparent rather than staying opaque. You can also try experimenting on a separate piece of paper first, as that can be really helpful for getting a feel for the right consistency of the paint. I’m sure you’ll get the hang of it very soon. If you have any questions, just let me know!
