Jessica KJessica K: This book showed up today and I couldn't wait to get started. I've been painting with watercolor since 2014, but gouache always seemed intimidating. This book breaks it down so well and the exercises are so cute!

J MoralesJ Morales: What can I say!?!? This book is ANYTHING BUT BLAH! I am someone who has two left “hands” for painting but I wanted something creative that I can take with me on a long trip abroad. So curiously enough Amazon’s algorithm suggested this book 🤔… anyway I looked at it for maybe a month and then what the cost of the paints, brushes, etc. would be and decided to buy it and give it try. When I got the book I just fell in LOVE with it and started reading it and I really don’t enjoy reading. I’ve been following along and I plan to complete all the projects and then take everything with me on my trip since it’s not much and go through them again. I love how easy to read this book is and the cute quirky art it has. So far I’ve learned to use Guache and the use of primary colors to create other colors, which are still a bit of a challenge to me but all in all it’s a wonderful way to learn something new and fun. I even bought her other watercolor book and started painting some of those with Guache too. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is ready to learn something new. I also read somewhere that the artist who wrote the book, completed this book during a...

sunny teacher lady: I love this book! It is like your own private mini-course. She takes you through simple to more complex gouache paintings. Even if you are not "attracted" to the subject she is painting it is soooo great to learn the skills that come with doing each project. I am almost done working my way through the book step by step. I am gaining in confidence and ability to handle gouache medium so this book was money well spent. I painted some with just using primaries and trying to mix my own colors...don't do that! too much work and takes the fun out of painting ( for a beginner) : just get the MIYA or HIMI Gouache Paint Set, the price is reasonable and it makes using this book fun. I enjoyed painting the two cute dogs the most. This would be a great gift for a crafty teen who likes to paint. Or an adult who wants to start painting. This allows the beginner to have more control over the paint than using watercolor and the cleanup is easy.

A. Reedur: Get Started With Gouache has a conversational tone about it that appeals to me. Emma Block begins with the basic supplies needed to get started. It's always interesting to know what an artist suggests and uses for their own work. Block puts tips, that she's found helpful, in little asides on the page. They are applicable in other media too. While there are many, many, books on painting with oils and acrylics, there are far fewer for this medium. "Get Started" is concise, with practice projects that will bear fruit right away. One feature of gouache is quick drying time. That has its' advantage for young students, who will see results right away. In addition, In times when ideas aren't flowing, the book can be valuable. You will not have to work through what subject to paint, what color palette to choose. Pick up the book and choose a chapter. It's already done for you. The act of painting, without such demands, will likely spur creativity to flow again.
