I Challenged Myself To Paint One Painting A Day For 100 Days With Gouache – A Medium I’ve Never Used Before (30 Pics)
In February, I moved back to my hometown and started sketching with ink, because I was in between jobs, and then COVID-19 hit. I thought it would be good for me to do a 100 days challenge to keep a daily structure.
Although I really like ink, I've always wanted to learn more about colors and paint. So I decided to give it a go with gouache, a medium I had never used before.
Now, I'm halfway down the 100 days challenge! I'm in love with gouache. It is such a versatile and forgiving medium. The vibrant colors make me very happy.
For the first 50 days, I used many reference photos (credit is on my Instagram) and for the next 50 days, I'm going to use my own photos or my imagination.
It is a tough challenge, but also a great learning experience. I really hope you enjoy my paintings and that those colors make your day a little brighter!

I love the views of wire and industry- it makes me think of some of the setting shots in anime I like :)

This one evokes a feeling within me which says there has to be a story with it. Perhaps, I am feeling nostalgic. How about I write a piece for each of your painting. Aaah, what the hell, could I do it?

You can take everyday items you see and you make it a price of art (literally)

Do you use rulers or are that talented that you simply do it with symmetry? Ugh, this is why I could never draw, it's requires so much patience and if it's not symmetric then what's the point?

These are terrific. Gouache is definitely your medium. Love the light effects, the bold color in the shadows, and the prosaic subject matter (crosswalk, power lines, cup of coffee). I paint some, and these are the images I see in my mind but don't (yet) have the skill to render. I hope you will come back and show the next 50!

How do you define the colours like that? Even in dark backgrounds, the colours are so beautifully defined. You should make atleast one tutorial. You are awesome!

Enjoyed these especially the ones that glow. I was going to ask what Gouache was but decided to Google it to avoid embarrassing myself. Oops.

How do you find a new idea every day ? Creativity is not one of my qualities, so it's a real. Some of these paintings I really like, especially the ones that seem simple.

I really like the way you paint shadows!!! I find gouache impossible to work with so this is super inspiring :)

I love all of them, what a nice challenge, can't imagine how developed you feel now as an artist. Definitely an exercise that helps tremendously.
