Hi Everyone, it's Kate here with you today.
Lately, I have been inspired by sketchbook tours to make my sketchbook more of a practice place. If you are like me, you want every page in your sketchbook to be as pretty as the flip-throughs on Youtube, but in order to make the pretty stuff, you need to practice and experiment. Gouache is one of those mediums I haven't yet tried and I thought this would be the perfect place to give it a go.
I started off by stenciling my image onto a page of my sketchbook.
Not knowing what I was doing, I started with gouache on the leaves in several different colors.
I chose a palette that I thought would go together and started painting.
At this point, I wanted to fill in all the white space, so I added some foliage and a background.
I love the look of ink so I added black outlines but not to everything.
I finally got the flowers the way I like them.
Until Next Time,
Kate
Beautiful Kate!
