Hi Emma, hi everyone,
Here's my final painting for this course.
I learned a lot and I am very grateful. I knew other mediums but this was my first attempt in learning gouache. I tend to be more realistic in my paintings so I tried to be more illustrative here. Don't know if I succeeded but that was fun!
I like how easy it is to go back to your course and watch parts of the videos I'd like to refer to. I did not memorize everything at once, but I know it's there :) I also enjoy the pace of your explanations and that you take the time to show everything you do step by step. Very didactic.
Thanks for your course and for any feedback you would be willing to give me.

PlusIsabelle.... Your final project is wonderful....and to think...it's your first gouache! I think Emma is going to love it also, Your "realistic" work must be FABULOUS! Keep painting!

Teacher PlusThis is absolutely beautiful, thank you so much for sharing! I am amazed that this is your first gouache, you’ve handled the medium so well. I love the original reference photo, the addition of the orange flowers perfectly balances the cool green tones. You’ve captured the textures of the building so delicately with great attention to detail. You have asked for feedback, this is a very accomplished painting so there’s really very little I could suggest, the only thing I would say is the roof tiles are almost too perfect, compared to the reference photo. As this is a very old building I would paint some of the tiles subtly different shades of terracotta, and maybe a few at a slight angle, to convey the age of the building. But this is really a tiny thing. I hope you keep painting with gouache!

@emma_block Thank you so much for your feedback. I shared my corrections on the tiles up there, you can see it on the Before/After document. I didn't want to tilt them too much since the tiles were already in place, but I played with the colors and shapes to add variety as you suggested. I think it does look better. Thanks :)
