James Gurney | Gouache Preliminary Sketches: Fast, Fun, and Low-Risk Painting Techniques @JamesGurney | Uploaded May 2019 | Updated October 2024, 17 hours ago.
James Gurney demonstrates how you can use gouache, watercolor, and water-soluble colored pencils to paint preliminary compositional studies before embarking on a final illustration. He paints one sample thumbnail sketch in real time using transparent watercolor, then films the creation two other layout concepts in time lapse. He also demonstrates how he uses scaled-down laser prints of the final line drawing glued down with acrylic matte medium in order to test ideas for color schemes.
The final paleo-art paintings were created in oil, and were used to illustrate an article on T.rex that appeared in the May issue of Ranger Rick Magazine.
This is an extended sample from "Unconventional Oil Techniques"
Check out the full tutorial video, which is full of practical art instruction for all levels.
