yet more stuff!




a flurry of posts this month...here are some gouache studies i did the other day at workshop. these are i think either 10 or 15 minute poses (i usually try not to think too much about that and just work as fast as possible!).

a few months back i started using holbein acryla gouache instead of windsor newton. with windsor newton i'd always worked opaque, laying lights over darks. i've had less success with this approach with the acrylas...so finally after a lot of complete failures at the workshop i broke down and tried to approach the as purely water color. still have some brush/color control issues to pay attention to, but it seems to have worked better. boy was it a struggle though!
