This video is a complete tutorial on how to create a gouache painting from a simple beginning to a thoroughly realized finished painting. The subject matter is a beautiful 16th century palace & garden situated high above the Amalfi Coast in southern Italy. The demo focuses on pencil sketching, laying in washes of color, blocking in colored shapes, paint mixing, color combinations and how to use brushwork and layering of paint to make a solid gouache painting. This should be watched along with my other video tutorials and travel sketchbooks on my YouTube channel "gary draws and paints 7745"
