How to draw gouache

(1). What is gouache landscape painting?

Let's talk about what gouache is first. Gouache, as its name implies, needs water and of course pigments. Gouache landscape painting is to paint landscapes with gouache, and everyone who has studied painting should know it. In fact, there is not much difference between gouache and watercolor, mainly because of the different control of water. But gouache is very different from oil painting, from tools to drawing paper. If you are interested, you can check it yourself, so I won't say it here. We mainly talk about gouache landscape painting. Here are two pictures for everyone to see.

The color of the picture above is very bright, and many strokes are used.

(2). The tools used in gouache landscape painting, we won't say much about it and go directly to the picture.

The small bucket is used to hold water, which is needed when drawing. Pick some pigments with a pen and put them on the palette. If they are too dry, you can soak them in water, and then you can draw.

Start writing with a small combination brush or fan pen. Beginners can use pencils, 2B, 4B, 6B, and then hook the shape you just picked up with a combination pen and a sector pen.

When laying general colors, you can use a larger combination pen, or you can use a fan pen or a brush pen.

Shaping is the hardest step. You can use different types of pens according to your choice. This step may be difficult for beginners, but it doesn't matter. No one draws well from the beginning.

The last step is to adjust the picture, which is also very important. In order to make the painting look better and the picture effect more prominent, some adjustments need to be made.
