Gouache Landscapes: Episode 2 - Autumn Forests

This class is all about painting autumn forests. I'll share my process for doing the initial value sketch as well as full walkthrough of each of these studies.

In Episode 2 I will share my process for painting these autumn forest scenes while I discuss the following things:

• Layering gouache
• Creating a variety of forest textures
• Lighting (front lit vs. overcast) in the forest

Materials

Winsor & Newton Gouache
Seawhite of Brighton Watercolor Sketchbook

Colors:

• Zinc white
• Cadmium free lemon yellow
• Permanent alizarin crimson
• Burnt Sienna (barely used)
• Prussian Blue
• Perylene Black (which is a SUPER dark green)

About This Series

Gouache Landscapes is a series of "bite size" classes (all under an hour - Episode 1 is a bit shorter than usual) that each demonstrate a variety of techniques and strategies for getting the most out of gouache. There is no specific upload schedule, but my plan is to release them every 2-3 weeks. 

• Episode 1 - Misty Mountains
• Episode 2 - Autumn Forests
• Episode 3 - Waterfall
• Episode 4 - Beach
