I uncovered this one about two weeks ago and showed it at my gouache workshop. It was painted about this time of the year, but several years ago on a heavy watercolor paper. With Spring popping out all over I thought it was worth sharing.....there's a similar one around here someplace that I'll probably throw in in a day or so.
The gouache workshop was fun to do. There were a lot of people there with watercolor experience and to see their approach was enlightening. In the past, most people I've taught have come from oils and don't do washes. These people were having a ball learning how both watercolor and oil techniques can be combined, leaving the constraints of each of those mediums behind. I saw some wonderful work....and it was only their first attempts at gouache.
Try it sometime. You'll like it.
This painting expresses afeeling of cheer. The reflections and colors support the freshness and newness of spring. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteMr. Anderson. Great work. I am really trying to make gouache work for me. Would you mind telling me which brand you use?
