If you’re not satisfied with the results of your gouache paintings, and you want to know the secrets behind successful artwork (that actually gets sold), you’re about to find out.

Painting with gouache is fun, but it can be intimidating and sometimes confusing.

According to Michele, most paintings don’t succeed because the artist didn’t have a set “plan” for how the painting was going to be built.

Like a symphony without a conductor, a painting without a plan will be chaotic and a sore to the senses.

But once you have a blueprint in place, you can almost guarantee your gouache paintings will turn out much more energetic and full of life.

Michele Usibelli will demonstrate this painting titled Ring Buoy.

But this isn’t just any plan…

Michele’s approach is different from that of other artists — and it’s the reason she’s able to create phenomenal works of art that win awards. 

We call her method the “FocalFirst” approach. 

Michele’s “FocalFirst” approach will:

• …help you nail the correct value every time…

• …help you determine the correct color…

• …and most importantly, guarantees your painting doesn’t get overworked, confusing, or “chaotic”!

Sounds amazing, right?

Luckily, it’s simple enough that anyone can follow and see success too.

And that’s not all Michele is sharing.

Together with Michele, you’re going to discover ways to strengthen your composition … explore the vibrant qualities of gouache … master gouache’s challenging yet interesting characteristics … improve your brushwork … learn color tips for an impactful painting … and so much more.

You’ll get to explore the wonderful tactile qualities of gouache and learn color tips that both new and experienced gouache artists can apply.

After watching Michele’s entire process in action, your gouache paintings will never be dull or uninspired again.

In fact, even your paintings in other mediums will become more moving and dynamic, because the unique method Michele shares can be applied to any painting. 

Before we get into exactly how Michele will help you achieve more impactful paintings, let’s get to know her a little better!

What Michele Usibelli Will Share Inside 

Painting With Gouache

A Solid Start to a Successful Painting

Michele was tired of creating paintings that lacked direction or visual impact. Jumping all over the surface, she was adding paint to multiple areas at one time — watching the painting slowly unfold. Unfortunately, all this jumping creates chaos. This is why paintings often look “scattered.” 

If you can relate, then Michele’s “FocalFirst” method will give you a solid platform to grow from. This method will give you the blueprint you need to create successful paintings. All you have to do is watch how it’s done!

The “Negative Shape Painter”

Michele considers herself a “negative shape painter.” You’ll see how she paints around the objects, which is extremely impactful for establishing the objects you see. Watch how an expert like Michele executes this! 

But that’s not all. You’ll also learn how to lay in the darkest darks, how to decide what to leave in and what to leave out, how to connect the darks, and even brushwork and scraper techniques to move paint.

Michele’s ingenious approach may well be what you’re looking for to improve your artwork!

Painting Reflections in the Water

Inside Painting With Gouache, you’re going to learn two key lessons about reflections. Keep them in mind to create more realistic reflections in water. 

You’ll also learn a handful of unique techniques to ensure color harmony … as well as which one specific tool can be used to instantly create an even more interesting painting … and how to add more life and color than the actual photo to keep your painting lively and dramatic!

Though you can observe the techniques of any artist instantly by watching them demonstrate and by watching the videos repeatedly, please know that, though many artists offer insights that can help people overcome a lot of learning time, every artist learns at their own speed based on their own level of understanding. Painting and drawing bring great joy, though the joy may come from practicing various techniques over and over until you master them. We do not wish to indicate that you, or anyone, can skip the joy of practice and the challenges of getting better. Painting is a lifetime endeavor, and getting good does not typically happen rapidly, or instantly. Your results may vary. And please know that if at any time within 30 days you feel this video has not lived up to your expectations or its promise, we will happily refund your money.
