I painted outside in gouache for the first time ever today, and really enjoyed the combination of opacity and transparency the medium offers for quick work outside--plus gouache offers the option to wipe a painting down and start over a few times!
I love the flexibility of gouache too...yet another medium to have in stock along with ALL the others!! This painting is stunning, you've used such great colours!

My visual journal is inspired by what I see every day: the weather on my hill in northern Vermont, what’s growing in my garden, a curio brought back from travels or an ordinary object from the kitchen shelf made special by careful looking. "Journal" paintings are fast, improvised daily entries, a chance to experiment with new approaches and pay attention to the here-and-now. When I’m traveling, quickly recorded impressions are posted from Paris, Provence, Spain, Maine and anywhere else I’ll find myself this year. My large studio compositions take time, planning, refining of the original inspiration. I'll also be sharing that different kind of creative process with you here on "A Painter's Year".

beautiful painting...
I"m so glad you discovered gouache; it's a wonderful medium. Layering is so easy with it.
