Gouache, my new found love!

[eaglemaina]

This was unexpected. Yesterday, while on the FP chatroom, I talked a little about illustration and how I was trying to find a certain look for my work. I'd seen examples but somehow couldn't get it right when I tried it. I wondered if the medium was the problem, and thought that maybe I should try something new

That looks really really cool. 8-)

I remember from my BG painting class how much I liked how gouache looks and the amazing amount of depth you can get from it. The only issue I had was that it was difficult to match colours because it could change drastically from wet to dry. (Especially if there was any white mixed in!) This was a big problem if I had a multi-day painting to do.

I accidentally pressed submit without saying that your gouache "experiment" looks great and I hope you do more gouache work soon!
