FEB to Irene - gouache lessons

This one does not bother me as much as the one yesterday. The bolder name is much better - and apologies to Patty - the length of your name would have fit very nicely with this size nib. I like doing those borders but I'm not happy with the proportions. Bordering the stamp always attracts my attention when Janet does it. I need to know what her secret is.

Here is a YouTube channel with 24 lessons on painting with gouache. I have only watched one and thought it had some good tips. I am not certain that all the videos are for gouache - and I will not have time to watch all of them. So, apologies if they are disappointing.

She is teaching how to *replicate* the styles of other artists. I'm guessing she would not be a fan of my term - steal worthy. 

Here is here blurb about herself - that she has a university named after herself reminds me of my age-old concept of a University of Penmanship.

Hi everyone, I’m Erin Green, an artist and instructor of illustration at Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, BC. Back in 2012 I started my private teaching practice, *Children of the Craft, with lessons and workshops on drawing and painting. When Covid-19 happened I started building online courses and now use this channel to accompany my curriculum. I hope you find my videos helpful and inspiring! *Yes, the name Children of the Craft is inspired by the cheeseball 80s horror classic, Children of the Corn... but I promise my videos will not be scary. They will definitely be cheesy however. Enjoy!
