I wanted to paint today, but I didn’t want to deal with acrylics and the bit of a mess they create. Gouache has been on my mind as I haven’t done it for a long time!
Starting this painting was a bit tough, just because I am out of practice. Still, I found all the painting I have been doing made it a bit more easy than I anticipated, but, once more I find myself stuck with problems of light and shadow. But here, it is play; the concept is there, and the plan, while not working out, did kind of get there. Certainly you can see where the light is coming from – but not sure how much it worked out.
Fun time, and that is what an easy afternoon is all about! I used bristol paper for this, and was rather pleased with the way the gouache went on. About 10×14 inches.
