Gum arabic adds a tiny bit of yellow veil to all colors, since gum arabic has that color. Aquazol is glass clear when dry, so for instanceyou’ll ve able to get blues ti a higher chroma. <br />That being said, if you’re adding chalk to your gouache and/or really aiming for a high pigment concentration in your paint, it’s probably not going to be apparent to you :-). But Aquazol is much more flexible than gum arabic when dry.<br /><br />Br Sebastian Sebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08678681995473921978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-31898115223395565132024-02-26T20:05:50.171-05:002024-02-26T20:05:50.171-05:00Thanks you for this from France!

I see that you forgot to mention 2 very old historical brands here in France and which make extra-fine gouaches " sennelier" and " Lefranc & bourgeois" , I would have been very interested to know what they would have answered you, I mainly use linel gouaches from Lefranc and bourgeois, and I find them incomparable in terms of velvety and luminosity, I wonder what additive should be added to have a gouache that stretches well and does not crack once dry? This is a problem that I encounter when I make my gouaches the old-fashioned way.

I get it: line weight shows distance and weight. A feather should have a light wispy line, a rock should have a heavy line. In your example, you show three boxes or roughly the same weight, that's easy and clear to understand. In my instructor's case, he put a large box, small sphere, and medium cylinder all made of marble along with some drapery in a nice composition. Then proceeded to complain that all the students didn't understand the concept because we all drew the heavy box with a dark line. Question: you have a still life of feathers and a crinkled bedsheet 1.5 feet in front of a basketball in front of a concrete block, how do show that and what deserves the heavier line? My instructor just kept saying the feather/rock principle over and over again.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859249291468712598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-21398826616114248532024-01-28T12:25:51.867-05:002024-01-28T12:25:51.867-05:00Dapper!Dapper!Lynnwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231101039437711973noreply@blogger.com
