I haven't had trouble with gouache cracking, but then I don't build up impastos super high. Stiff watercolor paper is usually fine, but if you want to go really thick, you'd be wise to use illustration board or panel. Reactivating is a normal practice. Worth experimenting with.

I especially enjoyed your presentation at portrait society in dc a few years ago. I recently purchased gouache in the wild, I'm interested in gouache for its immediacy over oil paint. as primarily an oil painter, I was wondering if you might speak to any handling hazards of gouache like there are in oil paint, i.e. painting zinc over ivory black = cracking etc. My understanding of gouache is that since it dries quickly, layers can be wrought without much consequence, dark over light, light over dark, without too much concern of pigment to binder ratios etc. I find that sometimes I want to re activate a previous area and up the transparency for the sake of "erasing" to slightly alter drawing. Is this a bad practice? I've also read that gouache can crack if applied too thickly, so are many layers something to avoid? I try for immediacy and directness of course, but sometimes things get away from me. Thanks for doing what you do!Brock Alius Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04276284918789602040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-18831996404498116722015-10-02T08:12:19.939-04:002015-10-02T08:12:19.939-04:00Carlos, good idea to do a materials post for gouac...Carlos, good idea to do a materials post for gouache or generally for oil. I did do a post about the formulations of various brands of gouache: http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/2015/06/gouache-ingredients-info-from.html<br /><br /> I know it's hard to find casein outside of the USA. You can use acrylic-gouache (more matte) or regular acrylic (many different formulations) or even tinted gesso for an underpainting beneath gouache. Just not oil.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-44998422067317587832015-10-02T05:59:53.347-04:002015-10-02T05:59:53.347-04:00Hi James.

It's quite hard to get some decent materials where I live and it's taken me some time to build a decent sketching set. Still, I was wondering if there is or could be a post in your blog where you reunite all the materials for plen-air sketching in gouache like the one you made for Watercolor <a rel="nofollow">http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com.ar/2014/08/watercolor-in-wild-materials.html</a> That post is so useful! Great reference for self taught painters like myself. Also, there's no way to get Casein in here so I was wondering if Acrylic paint could work as primer before painting in gouache.

It is a valuable lesson in how to envision things more like an artist and less like a documenter. I've pulled all my tubes of gouache out and am determined to play with them some more.

Is there a particular rule you subscribe to for a kick off point for value or do you just have a developed eye? <br />I apologize for redundancy if this is something you've covered and I missed it.

Glad you're enjoying the gouache vid.<br /><br />Mike, glad it worked for you. I was beginning to wonder.<br /><br />John, Here's the troubleshooting sequence I've figured out with the folks at Gumroad and Sellfy to help customers who are having problems with the downloads:<br />1. If your payment has processed, you should have been emailed a link. If you can't find it, check your spam or trash folder first.<br />2. If there's a browser problem, such as a stuck page, try a different browser (such as Firefox, Safari, or Chrome)<br />3. If the Gumroad order page didn't get complete, be sure to fill out the payment total.<br />4. If none of these work, please contact the support people at the place you bought it (support@gumroad.com) or (support@sellfy.com). They can get you the file through other channels.<br />5. And if nothing works and for whatever reason you want your money back, just email me at gurneyjourney@gmail.com, and I can go through the refund process.<br />James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-52837182553082600912015-06-22T21:01:31.126-04:002015-06-22T21:01:31.126-04:00Thought I'd chime in and say that Gumroad work...Thought I'd chime in and say that Gumroad worked just fine for me.

Gumroad's support people have told me that the main issues were with browsers and with filling out payment prices (because I set it up as a price plus option).<br />Here's an explanatory gif: http://g.recordit.co/ipdRfI6S4K.gif And if someone’s browser is stalling, they said: “try a different browser”.<br /><br />Yorky, the basic answer is that you can add more water to make it thinner, and you can put it on an absorbent towel to make it thicker. Otherwise, most gouache works really nicely right out of the tube.<br />James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-64608732829232416622015-06-22T17:32:45.730-04:002015-06-22T17:32:45.730-04:00Just purchased.
