I was reading thru Ralph Parker's blog this morning, and he uses Gouache with both watercolor and oil style techniques. Figured that I'd try it, and on canvas, this technique is much better. In some places (the reflections) I've left the look of the thin watercolor application, and in the rest of the painting, I've used a more opaque application, like oils. AND bristle brushes instead of the watercolor brushes. Ah, much better. Isn't this a nice one?

I thought I'd try a gouache on the canvas, see how it worked. The blending is more tricky than on paper, maybe because of the canvas weave texture? I'm not sure. I do like being able to paint in the background.

What actually is nice about acrylics is that you can layer and layer, and layer, though you really can't blend anything much. This one has lots of layers.

I knew there was a reason I kept a bunch of tubes of Acrylics. You just never know.
I still have to work on subtle colors, since Acrylics tend to be very bright. Tricky ti mix correctly, I think.

I wanted to see how well I could do without white paint. Really, no white at all.
I do have a pale blue grey tube paint that I've used in place of the white.

This one was interesting to paint, since I ran out of white paint half way thru, and had to do my lightening with a tube of pale blue grey. Thankfully I had the sky and the water done with the little bit of white I still had.

Don't you love seeing all the blossoming trees along the road? Right now the Red Buds are out, and they are so delicate and beautiful (though this isn't a Red Bud.)  I like the Red Maple behind the cherry in this one.

I have almost forgotten how to paint in oils. My dear friend B bought me some canvas yesterday (YAY!, thanks, B.) so I could get back to some oil painting. I painted this one as though it were gouache or watercolor, but towards the end, I was starting to remember. Now for some landscapes, yum.

The paper is actually a pastel paper, but it took the gouache pretty well.
