Gouache Painting - SOLD

Gouache Painting
Gouache on Tinted Paper, 10" x 12.5" (Image Size)
SOLD at $13 plus $10 shipping.

Gouache is a sort of concentrated and opaque watercolor.  More like the poster paint we used to use as kids in school, but a lot finer. You can use it on paper, or canvas.

The paper is a nice, thick Magnani cotton sheet, but it has a buff, goldish tone to it. Probably not the best choice for the whites and blues here,  but this one is an experiment anyway. I love the gouache, but I'm not adept at using it, so there are some spots with oodles of layers here, to build up the opacity, and some not.

It is what it is, an experiment.

Since I already did a commission today, a repeat of one of the American Irises, I wanted something very loose, watery, sloppy for my today's painting. My favorite part of this one is that tiny bit of yellowish in the vase. For the rest, it's swish, swish, but since it's so big, it does have "presence."

I was able to get this one done today, pretty much all day, but I've been listening to "sermons" or messages from the fine pastors at Covenant Life Church, such an inspiration, and it makes the painting time go by fast.
(From the home page, go to resources, and you can pick and choose by pastor, topic, series, scripture...)

Anyway, this one is from the same reference I used the other day, but larger this time.

I'm pretty happy with this one.
I like the bits of orange, and the touches of gouache for the white fringes.
