Since we are talking ghibli right now, here are some handmade ghibli styled LotR backgrounds I made a few years ago.

It’s officially Gouaching time! Here are some Levitan value studies and a color one for week 1 of @justindonaldson.bsky.social ‘s 2.0 course 🙌 I lost my value finder so I used my oil paint value stick based on the one from Casey’s Oil Painter’s Handbook. #gouache #values

Two monochromatic studies in gouache of Isaac Levitan’s paintings, Rural View and Village Road.

A gouache study in color of Isaac Levitan’s paintings, Just Before Evening Falls.

Put together a dry gouache palette! As much as I love plein air painting with oil, I want to do it with gouache as well and this is a more portable setup (plus the painting study dries faster 😅) I’m ready for @justindonaldson.bsky.social ‘s Gouache 2.0 Course 😌🙌

A portable paint palette. 22 out of the 26 half-pans are filled with gouache paint of various colors that has semi-dried.

Painting from life can be so intimidating, but It’s one of the most transformative experiences as an artist. A pressure cooker scenario that sometimes destroys you, but more often than not makes you a wiser artist
