gouache

Trying gouache in my mixed media sketchbook.

Gouache paint, looking for anything in the garden.

Done with gouache and ink in mixed media sketchbook, 2.3x2.3 inches

Acrylic gouache on MDF, approx 4x6". Part of an experiment: what if I painted the inside of a picture frame (ie, the inside of the backing board)? Result: it actually works really well!

2.3x2.3 inch painting with gouache and ink, done in my mixed media sketchbook.

I have painted these birds using Arteza gouache colors on black sketchbook by Artway ltd.

Here are some drawings of various utensils, courtesy of the madness of quarantine. I ended up giving each a name and a bit of a personality.

Schmincke watercolour, W&N gouache, ink, on watercolour paper, 29x42cm, for sale

So this painting began as a simple project and ended up for sale at a coffee shop. I found out recently it actually sold, making it the first official painting I've sold.

I stated with a rough pencil sketch then inked it with a brush pen and colored it with watercolor and gouache on a watercolor postcard. Reference I used was this excellent photo - https://www.pexels.com/photo/tree-wild-squirrel-monkey-97827/ photo by Mike from Pexels.com

Mother Nature (and fun jungle-y textiles)-inspired work!

Too much patterns? Probably, but i enjoyed every minute painting it.I had so much fun inventing new patterns for each layer.

Jelly gouache and Posca pen on magnetic paper. This little tiger is living as a fridge magnet now.

Watercolour and gouache on 4x4 cm of watercolour paper.

Fun with gouache! While I was painting this, I learned that "scumble"/"scumbling" are words used to describe the action of dry brush painting, so my detective's name is Scumbles.

I needed some positive vibes, so I painted a moth with a day wing and a night wing. Gouache on watercolour paper.

Acrylagouache and acrylic paint on a 5x10cm canvas.

This looks simple, but i spent days researching to get the buildings and clothing right. There was also a lot more layers than i planned for. This buildings are still in use, there are different shops in them now. Sadly they no longer have those colorful decorations,

Another gouache painting with warm colors and an autumn theme

gouache painting of spring bulbs using spring colors and a limited palette. Gouache is so fun!

Watercolor and gouache painting - practicing watercolor washes in the sketchbook

Watercolour pencils and gouache on A4. I did this today at a Urban Sketchers meet up in the National Museum of Scotland - although, I guess, strictly speaking it does not fulfil the urban sketching requirements :D

I am experimenting with gouache and watercolour. Here is a witch I painted into my sketchbook.
