Episode 5: Gouache V
Episode 5 is a treat for me. I realized that good paintings can’t regularly be made in 30 minutes, so this begins the option of taking multiple episodes to make a finished work! Hooray!
To me, the episode is much lighter because I can stop and discuss more topics in the painting process. I love to do this (obviously) and get to share stories/examples/experiences. I hope you enjoy it a bit more, too.
The piece will be back next episode. Can’t wait!

Both the above photo and this study were used to create the larger painting during Episodes 5 and 6.
Working from paintings rather than photographs or the scene itself is freeing because we don’t tend to get bogged down with extra details as we are further removed from the initial scene.
Painting studies capture the important details. The initial scene was edited.
