SKETCHBOOK SESSION VIDEO – Gouache Landscape study 🌺 (Patreon)

Hi Dear Potato Angels!

I have a new, chill video to share with you 🥰 Join me as I take you through the creation of my latest artwork — a poppy gouache painting in my sketchbook. 

Grab your art supplies and paint alongside me if you like! 🎨 

In this painting I used following Holbein Acryla Gouache colors:

Blues for the sky:

• D 120 – PALE LAVENDER
• D 104 – PALE AQUA

Greens:

• D 074 – MISTY GREEN
• D 157 – ASH GREEN
• D 064 – VIRIDIAN GREEN
• D 070 – LEAF GREEN
• D 075 – PALE LIME

Reds:

• D 010 – CORAL RED
• D 003 – SCARLET RED

Other colors:

• D 152 – CHINESE WHITE
• D 132 – RAW UMBER (Often mixed with white and a tiny bit of red to paint some pinky beige grass)
• D 094 – CERULEAN BLUE (Mixed with Raw Umber and Scarlet Red to create a very dark color, but not black)

The sketchbook I used for this project is from Arteza, and I must say, I'm quite fond of its thick, textured, mixed-media paper. It's perfect for studies like this, where I want to explore different techniques and textures. However, it may not be the best choice for colored pencils if you prefer smooth blending, which works better on less textured papers. But if your colored pencil drawings lean more towards linear styles, then this sketchbook is definitely a good fit for you.

The brushes I used:

• 500H Resable Holbein Brush no 6 – it's good but so expensive! I think you can find something similar in more affordable price.
• Dagger Brush from Roman Small no 1/4" – I started to use this type of brush recently and I like it a lot! The diagonal shapes allows to paint both wide and very thin lines.
• Winsor and Newton Rigger brush no 0 – it's great for fine lines.
