Painting with gouache is still difficult, but I keep trying. Recently, I tried the same subject twice for practice. It's still darker than I'd like, but I felt I learned from them.
Both 9" × 12" on Arches cold pressed
Not masterpieces, but better than past efforts. And fun to do. A delightful, maddening medium.
Thanks for stopping by! Alice
I like both of these but know the frustration of gouache. I wonder if it helps to come from an oil or acrylic painting background to get to gouache. To me, it just seems so opaque and I wonder how you keep the colors clean - but you obviously did that as the light is lovely on these.
ReplyDeleteI think it must, as the whole thought process is dark to light in all opaque mediums. To watercolorits it's like thinking in negative!
