If you’ve ever wished your #watercolor paintings had a bit more punch or a bit more softness, but don’t want to change your style, there’s a simple answer - try #GOUACHE! Gouache is watercolor too, but it has more pigment and more opacity, so can do things its watery cousin can’t do - it’s a real #painting game-changer! I’ve saved 100s of my watercolor paintings using the tips I’m sharing with you in this video using Gouache. Gouache blends beautifully with transparent watercolor as we will find out today in this video and we’ll discuss whether this type of paint might just be what you’re looking for!

Join me on Patreon https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Today I'm talking about a huge watercolor struggle, why everything changed for me a few years ago, and how watercolor can be pure fun! For years I thought I should paint birds realistically, but now I've realised that it's actually much more fun painting them in a whimsical way. My new whimsical style is easy, it's relaxing, and you can do it too!

Join me on Patreon https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio It’s rare for a video of mine not to make it to the light of day but my first review of this 48 pan set of paints from Paul Rubens hit the trash can with a resounding thud and it was another month before I could bring myself to have another go. So here it finally is, the complete story on this huge 48 watercolor pan set of professional, so-called 5th Generation paints. Are they as good as YouLan would have us believe they are? Are they worth the price? Why are they more expensive in the UK than in the US? I’ll give you my honest opinion and hope you’ll share yours too!
