Gouache

For the first time, I tried gouache today. I'd only known it to be mysterious watercolor until now and I am quite pleased at the prospect of using it in the future.

The index card is really a swath I cut from a piece of 140lb watercolor paper after I'd doodled sufficiently to test (play) with this slightly different medium. The color is so smooth and opaque like acrylic, yet soluble and respondent like watercolor.

It is so nice to be able to play and feel like I am accomplishing something!

Today, I also found some new Gelatos and will be playing with them to have sone fun this week, as well.

Have a great one!
