Exploring Color with Gouache

Explore Color and Shape in Your Art Journal!
Welcome back to my YouTube channel! In today’s video, I share a brief exercise inspired by a recent workshop with the London Drawing Group. I delve into color relationships and walk through the journal pages I created during and after the class, as inspired by Joseph Albers. I provide step-by-step 10 minute exercise (which was not part of the LDG class -- I recommend you sign up for any of the Secrets of Seeing Series with that remarkable group of artists!) for exploring color and shape in your art journal. While I use gouache in the video, this exercise can be done with any media — colored pencil, watercolor, acrylics, you name it. Additionally, I offer a reflective writing prompt to help you understand your artistic preferences and style better. Grab your art supplies and join me on this creative journey!
