Paint en plein air to work directly from natural light and color.
Watch as I demonstrate each of these techniques step-by-step to help you achieve a light-filled Impressionist style in your own paintings.
Whether you're a beginner or experienced painter, these tips will have your artwork glowing with a radiant, atmospheric quality.

Does a toned canvas help your painting? What colors are best for a toned canvas? This video gives you insight into the color options to use and what effect the tones have on your paint colors.
A toned canvas (or ground) can have a big impact on your painting if you make use of it. Consider what color to use, experiment and see what works best for your type of subject. Or simply use a tone to get rid of the white canvas. That is a good reason too.

In Part 2 we visit the beach to find a scene to paint. I have all the painting materials you saw in Part 1. Now it is time to compose and start a painting. It is a simple composition that I can rough in on the painting panel. Then block in the big shapes. Put in color and start to develop the scene.
Missed Part 1? Watch it here: https://youtu.be/P_yKiZgVr_g
What is important is to start the painting and work quickly. The sun constantly moves and this changes the scene. Also I want to avoid sunlight on my palette. The result is a 40 minute painting. Longer than that and the scene changes too much.
In Part 3 I will complete the painting and assess the result back in my studio. https://youtu.be/-uAEITp3wl8

? In Part 2: The next stage to framing a gouache painting is to seal it. I have completed a painting and must now seal the painting to protect it. A combination of spray varnish is the answer. I am also trying out Ghiant water based varnishes which have less solvents. Once the gouache painting is sealed it is time to frame it and then reveal the finished project.
Let me know in the comments whether you like the results.
