Introduction to Gouache by SombrePainter, journal

Introduction to Gouache

May 18, 2016

Traditional Art Definition of the Medium Gouache is similar to watercolor and acrylic. But it has unique characteristics that differentiate it from both of them. Like watercolor, it's water soluble and its binder is gum arabic (M. Graham & Co use honey ιn their gouache). The pigment ratio however is much higher compared to watercolor. It's also opaque (containing chalk). However, it can be thinned down to washes and worked just like watercolor. In that form it's less translucent than watercolors but you'll have a hard time to tell the difference. Most importantly it can build up opaque layers. When it dries - like acrylic - the li

Reference Photos and Copyrights

Jan 26, 2020

Copyright Weekend Oh, that age-old saga… a tale of woes and witch hunts, of legal nightmares and people getting their knickers into a twist. While some sorrowfully misguided people adamantly claim it is cheating to use reference photos, the majority of the art community agrees: Reference photos are a must-have when you want to paint something you have never painted before, and to paint something you want to get right, even if you have painted it many times before. Because, how can you know what something looks like and recreate it truthfully when you don't know what it looks like? - Exactly. You need references. While some say a true

My Bio

** Don't ask to buy any of my images from me to be sold off as NFT's. If I wish to sell anything that I create, I would just do commissions instead. **

Welcome to my side of the world, stranger!

I'm just a quirky old fart that appreciates a mixed assortment of stuff and yet I still wonder how I attract people to my page. **Blames the fan-art.** If a sloppy digital paint-style, odd photo / Photoshop merged images, or if old project art images are your favorite brands of poison, then you came to a good spot. And yes, the "I Draw What I Like" motto is still enforced!

Requests aren't my thing and I'm currently taking a break from the art-trading. Maybe, I'll open up again sometime. Keep the commentary below my Journal Entries (please) because they're easier to access when I want to read them.

~ Cheers.

Current Residence: Within my Demesne and enjoying the inebriated state of being daft, dumb, and happy. <3

Operating System: Being caffeinated. ^_^ *Music helps too.

Shell of choice: Fender Electric Guitar.

Favourite cartoon character: Too damn many of them. They're literally screaming within the dungeons of my mind. Oh, and they're all guys too. That doesn't help out either. =P

Skin of choice: Liquid metal.

Personal Quote: "Those who mind, do not matter. Those who matter, do not mind." - Dr. Seuss

Another 365 days later..

1 min read

..and, I'm another year older again! This time, I have two birthday cakes! Also, if anyone wants to post their birthdays, type up those journals. Those DeviantArt Birthday notifications aren't as awesome at notifying people as they used to be. Also, this knucklehead typing up this journal tends to forget birthdays too. Otherwise, have a nice Christmas season filled with whatever you *legally* want to do, but be sure to love on your families too. And yup, I'm still working on those pictures.

The 4-0 has finally come. :P

My birthday is here today. A lot of stuff has gone on within the last 365 days and two jobs later. I'm anticipating some old fart jokes from my folks, but maybe you guys might beat them to the punch. Maybe I'll go make some more art happen before the end of 2021; it'll depend how much my current job wears me out. EDIT - No old fart jokes from the folks. (Damn.) The hype is overblown; 40 is just another day at the park. My seasonal job is pretty much done, and I've been working on some old ideas. Also, hello 2022.
