About the final project for: Painting with Gouache: Create Poetic Illustrations
Illustration with gouache for beginners
“I want to thank you all for joining my course. We have now reached the end. It has been an amazing experience for me and I hope you had lots of fun along the way. I believe that you are now equipped with lots of knowledge about gouache. I have done my best to cover as many details as possible on the subject. I guess, the only thing that is left for you to reach your painting goals is practise! In illustration, you have to improve not only your painting skills but also your imagination and creativity. For that purpose, find your inspiration sources and observe them all the time. I advise you to keep a small sketchbook with you wherever you go, as drawing from real life will help you grow faster. Working on a final project which you imagine and illustrate will benefit you a lot more than if you only paint something similar to mine. I am looking forward to seeing your beautiful creations and I will be in the forum helping you whenever you are in doubt. I very much hope that you are going to practice all the things we covered in this course and you will share your final project and the experiences you have gained in the forum with everyone. In addition to the Domestika community, if you want to share your work on Instagram, don’t forget to use the hashtag #CaglaZimmermannDomestika. I am eager to see your compositions and color choices.
