And some more. These are painted in gouache and poster color

Since we are talking ghibli right now, here are some handmade ghibli styled LotR backgrounds I made a few years ago.

Two monochromatic studies in gouache of Isaac Levitan’s paintings, Rural View and Village Road.

A gouache study in color of Isaac Levitan’s paintings, Just Before Evening Falls.

It’s officially Gouaching time! Here are some Levitan value studies and a color one for week 1 of @justindonaldson.bsky.social ‘s 2.0 course 🙌

I lost my value finder so I used my oil paint value stick based on the one from Casey’s Oil Painter’s Handbook.

A portable paint palette. 22 out of the 26 half-pans are filled with gouache paint of various colors that has semi-dried.

Put together a dry gouache palette! As much as I love plein air painting with oil, I want to do it with gouache as well and this is a more portable setup (plus the painting study dries faster 😅)

I’m ready for @justindonaldson.bsky.social ‘s Gouache 2.0 Course 😌🙌

The Gouache Course 2.0 - Advancing our work with gouache Take 8 weeks and dive in to gain everything you need to know to paint with gouache and poster colors!

and much more!! to learn more about the class lessons head over to here -> justindonaldson.mykajabi.com/gouachecourse2

We work on techniques for painting large with gouache, and find how we can bring those learnings back into our smaller paintings to end up with more confidence.

We work further on incorporating brilliant water colour techniques and applying them to a gouache painting, getting thicker and thicker as we go - Gouache has a WIDE range of applications and we can utilize them all

We look into advanced chunky painting + brushwork

This eight week course is designed to take your gouache skills to the next level! In this course we work through what it takes to accurately predict the dreaded value shift + saturation shift that occurs as gouache dries so that you can take your paintings to the next level
