Visual Development | Gouache Artist | instructor
I create shapes and paint stories — whether through gouache landscapes or cinematic worlds for animated films. As an art instructor in both gouache and digital painting, I am passionate about bridging fine art and animation together to help students become better painters and storytellers.
Level up in Painting with My Courses
This is a comprehensive course with over 20 hours of lessons covering the fundamentals of composing and designing with shapes, values, color, edges and texture through studying the masters and plein air painting.
In this course taught by Mike Hernandez and Tiffanie Mang, you will learn how to plan the overall design of your painting through matrix studies and free yourself from being tied to every detail in a photo. You will also learn how films use color to shape emotion and mood --- and how to bring that same power into your paintings. Mike will demonstrate how to use the gamut mask tool to design unique, harmonious palettes and apply that in a digital and gouache painting.
