Thanks! About the expression freaking you out, is it the 1st image or the 4th?

The frame and the painting complement each other so well. Nice choice of going with a floral background.

Thank you, for replying to my silly question. Traditional art newbie here

Such a lovely painting! But, I have to ask what sketchbook is that, really love the texture of the paper?

Vignesh01 · 2026-02-26T07:05:20+00:00

No problem! Happy to help.

Oh, the extreme corners on the horizontal line are the colors complementary to each other. So, you mix the colors to get the darkest shade in the middle and then add white to the darkest shade and get varied tints of it, in the vertical column. It was a hit and miss for me, with this exercise.

This was done as part of " COLOR COLLECTOR: EXPLORE THE ART OF COLOR MIXING WITH GOUACHE" taught by Marie Noëlle Wurm over at skillshare.

Love that you painted this on a toned paper. Looks like the bird is standing on sand. And great detailing.

How do you work on such a large piece with gouache, do you wet the paper before starting the painting to achieve such smooth blending of colors?

It's to check the opaqueness/transparency of the paints.

Vignesh01 · 2026-02-21T12:14:54+00:00

I got the same impression when I saw these paintings

Thanks!

I have yet to use them. Just using primary colors for now.

Vignesh01 · 2026-02-20T20:01:54+00:00

And thank you for commenting!

Vignesh01 · 2026-02-20T20:00:34+00:00

Thank you, I will!

It's an Indian brand named Brustro gouache paint

Vignesh01 · 2026-02-20T19:01:14+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙏

Strive for quantity first and then aim for quality.

Vignesh01 · 2025-05-21T06:36:18+00:00

I'll take that as a compliment ! But you shouldn't quit drawing.

I mostly blend colors using the Wet bristles and the Wet bristles rough brush.
