5 PROBLEMS WITH GOUACHE | And How to Solve Them

​​​​The full 93 minute tutorial video is available from Gumroad: https://gurneyjourney.gumroad.com/l/g...

Gouache presents at least five difficulties: it freezes, it dries fast, it reactivates, it looks chalky, and it shifts values when it dries. James Gurney faces each of these challenges, answering viewer questions as he paints Hudson River iceboats, and charts the properties of gouache, casein, and acrylic.
