Gouache

In my ever evolving art, I keep switching it up. Over the last month, it’s been a return to gauche. I loved/hated gouache when I was in art school and I’m still having the same struggle. I have grown to love watercolors again, but then sometimes I want the paint to be more opaque like acrylics. Gouache is the perfect spot in-between.

I’m taking it slow, learning how much water, what kind of brush, taking time to mix the colors. So, for the next month or two, I’ll be trying to learn what I can do with gouache.
