I recently got a notebook. Not a fancy one but perfect for play and just to have fun in. I work in it those days when I just don't make it out to the studio but still want to paint something. This book is not meant to be "good" but a place where I can draw my faces and try a new medium; gouache.

 My thought on gouache is that I think I really like it! I like the look of it together with watercolor and that it is so opaque. However I feel that when I paint with these Panduro Gouache that something is wanted. That they are missing something. I know that when it comes to paint you get what you pay for and in this case I think that is very true. So on my Christmas wishlist this year; a set of gouache paints, a nice set!


 I  have come up with a few steps that I follow, a receipt if you will, in this sketchbook:

 I'm having so much fun testing out this new, to me, medium. I love the look of all of these different mediums coming together and just how opaque the paint is!



 I love the end results of my ladies with the different layers and texturs. I'm having so much fun testing out different colors, shapes and stiles!
