I'm finding out with gouache that you need to get your brights and lights down first. Otherwise it'll take too many coats to bring something up to a bright light. Here I went very gingerly with the light yellows, and later decided that it had gotten too chalky, so added more bright at the end. (Chalky is one of the dangers, I am finding, with gouache.) In some places I treated the paint like watercolor.

This one will be just for my faithful collectors. If none of you want it, than I'll post it on Daily Paintworks. But some of my pieces have to be just for you guys, who have been with me through thick and thin, and so supportive over the years. Thanks!

Can you tell that I approached this one differently? More realistic, more careful. Which do you like better, the swish and splash (from day before yesterday), or the more careful rendering?
