If you are looking for gouache painting ideas, here are the steps to recreate the beach painting done by @art_lub16:
MATERIALS REQUIRED
Menorah Gouache Paper Pad
Gouache Paint
Flat brush
Round brush
Washi tape
SKY:
Use washi tape on the borders of your gouache paper pad for a clean painting.
Rise and shine! Let’s paint the morning sky that is just turning blue. Paint the first layer of your gouache pad with dark purple gouache paint.
Mix some white with the dark purple and paint the layer below. To get a gradient, paint the layer blow the light purple with ivory and blend all the colors together in your gouache pad.
SUN:
To draw the rising sun in sunrise paintings, draw a small semi- circle in light yellow. To highlight its rays, paint a layer of dark orange on both sides of the sun.
SEA :
Time to paint the sea! Use a mixture of the marine colors- marine blue and marine green to get the desired colors of the shimmering sea.
To bring out the wave effect, draw small wave like patterns in turquoise with a round brush. You can add a more realistic touch by adding a foam like effect with white paint towards the end of the waves.
Mix yellow and grey together to get the colour of the beach sand on your gouache paper pad.
How do you go to a beach and not make some sand art? Let’s draw a small heart pattern on the beach sand. Since the pattern would appear darker than the sand, mix brown and grey to get the right darker shade on your gouache paper pad.
CLOUDS :
Some sunlit clouds to add beauty to the sky. Draw clouds with light orange and highlight them with dark orange and yellow for a fiery effect on your gouache pad.
Peel off your washi tape and savour your beautiful sunrise beach painting!
Painting is a personal and the ultimate way to create a tangible form of the best experiences saved in your mind. Immortalize them with Menorah Gouache pads.
