Gouache Portrait Painting in a Limited Palette!

Ever wondered how to simplify values and shapes with light and shadow using a limited palette in gouache? I will show how to paint over a portrait sketch and bring the portrait to life! Using gouache, I will share the use of layers and building up values working from larger shapes to more details with each brush stroke. I will share my palette setup and gouache portrait process over a pencil sketch on an illustration board.

For the portrait demo we will focus on light and shadow and emotion. I will share my process of enhancing vibrancy and accents in your portrait paintings as I bring it to life. Shortly after the demo, remainder of time, I will share an exclusive live inside look into some of my sketchbooks + you’ll have a chance to win a brand new sketchbook from me!
