2018 Gouache Experiments

Decided to give Gouache a try this past year when I went traveling to Italy - where I did exactly 3 gouaches in the 2 weeks I was there, partially due to the fact that I was frustrated by my lack of knowledge of the medium, and the long time it'd been since I did plein air stuff. However, I've been keeping at it on-and off. Here are some successes

Wasn't anticipating using every color, but they were all there so why not!

This is a cool barn about 5 minutes away from where I live. It was a cold morning but the sun was VERY warm. 

Another farm I love in the Hollows of Rochester, VT

I drive by this farm a few times a month, and I absolutely love it. I think I may do a longer oil of it one day, when I get a moment. 

Starting to feel more and more confident in the medium.

I stopped halfway through due to a phonecall, when I came back I didn't want to touch it!

From a photo; too cold for gouache.

I'm looking forward to doing many more of these in 2019, hopefully will sell some too! (contact me if interested!)
