Okay, that was a good workout. Time to set up another still life and begin again.
Another adventure in gouache. Two lovely pink ladies from the local Whole Foods Market. Wish I could say it was so easy a caveman could do it. Heh. But in truth this was a complicated subject, and it gave me un sacco di agita. A malady that sometimes occurs when painting tricky still lifes in an unfamiliar medium. However, I hung in there, mainly because I'm stubborn. And because it's the only way to learn.

Julie, I can't tell that this gave you any trouble at all. It came out great. I haven't tried gouache yet.

Thanks, Joan. The nice thing about gouache is that you can paint light over dark.

Beautiful! So gouache is working as a way to feel like you are paying noting in oils, with less shoulder strain, you go, girl!

I'm a representational painter enchanted by the unique qualities of watercolor. Sometimes oils, gouache, colored pencils and other media call to me too. I started this blog to share my work and ideas about making art. Sometimes I toss other things into the mix. Such as painters I love, and art books and exhibits that inspire me. Your comments are welcome. I'd love to hear from you! Recent PostsCategories
