Gouache Paint isn’t just for watercolor techniques anymore! In this video we used Arteza’s Gouache Paints on purple stretched paper to show how vibrant and adaptable our Gouache Paint is.
Speed painting is an artistic technique where the artist has a limited time to finish the work. The time can vary, usually, the duration is set from several minutes to a few hours. Unlike sketches, speed paintings may be considered "finished" after the time limit is up.
Speed painting is particularly common among digital media artists, because digital painting mediums allow for a work to circumvent drying times of traditional media. Digital media artists primarily use speed painting to practice working quickly and efficiently. Speed painting techniques are also frequently used in concept art, particularly in the early stages of production when the polish of an individual image matters less than a clear basic presentation of many candidate concepts for consideration.
Traditional media artists also use limited-time pieces as a challenge of skill, and an exercise in not overthinking their work.
