I painted this mermaid inspired in Chagall Nice posters and some details from klimt’s style 🎨🧜♀️ I was going to paint it on a mug with acrylics (that is the reason of the theme) but ended in gouache 🫶
I used Holbein gouache on canson montval papel.
Hope you like it!
Hey guys!
I’m not an artist at all, I just enjoy painting and sketching here and there. I tried to love watercolor so many times because that’s what everyone recommends to hobbyists. I poured so much money and time into it, but I never really understood or enjoyed the medium.
Then, a few weeks ago, I discovered gouache and fell in love so quickly I can’t even tell you 😄
And yes, I see that the colors are muddy, and there are many things wrong with this piece. But it was the most fun I’ve had with painting since middle school.
I used the much-hated Himi gouache for this piece because, although I got myself a nice set of Shinhan colors, it’s just so easy to sit down, open the Himi, and relax.
Tried gouache for the first time after watching a tutorial by Ruth Wilshaw and honestly I never thought I’d be able to paint something like this. I’m not a professional artist… I just genuinely enjoy sketching and painting whenever I can.
This page has been such a huge inspiration for me. Seeing all the beautiful gouache paintings here made me want to finally try it myself.
I’d really love any tips or suggestions that could help me improve, especially with layering, lighting, or getting cleaner details. Thank you all for the motivation 🤍

One more in green, and then it's on to something new. Can you tell what my favorite kind of cat is? 😂

9.5x13" gouache and ink on watercolor paper thanks for looking!
I paint mostly with watercolours. Always wanted to try gouache, but have never made the jump. Finally picked up some W&N designer tubes (primary colours) and have been having a blast ever since!
This my third time painting on a tote bag and I feel like I learn more and get better every time! I’m so happy with this one.
I hope you like it ✨
