El guache me ha dado algunas alegrías. Cuando pensaba que no podría hacer con él lo que puedo hacer con acrílico, yo mismo me he sorprendido de los resultados.
mmmm I love gouache...I can only remember how to spell it by taking it in go-u-ache....like a real pain:)
True,,doesn´t Nathan have it down though....yikes!!
I use gouache for my sketching too.
Thanks too for the link to Nathan's site. I couldn't believe some of those images were done digitally.
I'm with you...I need to learn how to use water medium better too. Well...any medium, really! LOL
Gouache is a lost art. Nathan Fowkes uses it well in landscape sketches, but the really good gouache artists (illustrators of the 50's & 60's) are gone, and no one does it like them anymore. Google Harry Anderson, Coby Whitmore, Andy Virgil, early Joe Bowler, Joe DeMers, etc. and you'll see what I mean. It's a tough medium that requires an experienced hand. Good luck!
Erik Tiemens also does a great job with gouache.
Call me crazy but I love the smell of gouache :)
Difficult medium to master though.
I'm catching up finally. I loved your "Portrait Practice" and "K." I have gouache, too--used it once on a trading card; haven't quite figured out what to do with it. I agree that Fowkes knows how to use it.
