This is a wonderful book that is simple to follow, perfect for beginners. I love how the projects are set out, with step-by-step instructions and clear photos, with interesting subjects and different uses. The author's enthusiasm and passion shows on every page, and there's plenty of inspiration to create your own projects as well. Highly recommend!

This is a beautifully illustrated book packed with information. It starts from the basics of what gouache paint is, how to use it, what brushes to use and how to look after them, what surfaces to paint on, how much water to use to get what effects and much more. From there it then gives you exercises to follow to get you used to using gouache paint., these are well explained and have step-by-step photos to guide you.
Finally, there are 9 projects covering all the skills you've learnt in the exercises including lettering, layering, painting on wood and air drying clay. Most of the exercises and projects are based around nature, but there are also some for hand lettering too.
I really enjoyed this book and it has given me lots of ideas of things to do beyond the projects inside. It definitely makes me want to dig out my paints and give gouache another go!

Creative Gouache is a beautiful guide for those new to the medium. It is filled with colorful photos that present and break down techniques to employ when working with gouache. As an artist myself, the information in this book is given in a way that simplifies things and makes gouache seem very approachable. Basic techniques, illustrations, lettering, & mixed media are all covered in book sections, and then a project section follows to give a chance to explore what you've learned!

I'll admit I was selfish in picking this title. I recently got a huge box of gouache paint and had never used them before. I wanted to learn how to use them properly past what I originally bought them for.
This book is excellent for beginners like me and really goes in depth covering all you need to know like brush handling and color theory.

This book was beautiful. The art used to demonstrate gouache and generally to decorate the book was stunning. There were plenty of instructions, unlike some how to art books that are pretty much just like "Paint object" and leave it at that. We explored techniques with the medium and had plenty of images to further the explanations

Beautiful book for beginner gouache painters. In kids tips and tricks to getting started followed by tons of inspiration for paintings, mostly nature based flowers, moths etc. And some unique projects are included. Very beautiful paintings, great for beginners!

Creative Gouache is an inspiring book for creative beginners looking to try painting with Gouache. It provides information on materials. techniques and details a wide range of uses for the medium.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a beautiful book!

The book is a guide to using gouache and other media. There is information on materials, tips on painting, and information on projects. Some of the instructions could have been a bit more detailed for beginners. The pictures are beautiful and there are some nice projects to try.

Overall a nice find!

This is an excellent guide to painting with gouache! I've used gouache before, but I learned so many techniques and tips here that I am now itching to put to use. The innovative projects have easy step-by-step tutorials and the end results are gorgeous. I had no idea you could do so many things with gouache. I haven't used mine in years, but now I have to pull them out and try some of these techniques.

I must order a physical copy of this book to use as a reference while painting because there's no way I can absorb and remember everything laid out so deceptively simply here in one reading.
