Gouache and toned paper are a match made in heaven!
|
This was a lovely, foggy day in December--the blue-gray hill, yellow corn and bright red berries just cried out for gouache! |
|
It works well to add just a little bit to spark up a monochromatic sketch like this, too...this was ink and watercolor, gouache, and a bit of white gel pen. |
|
This paper is a pale tan, and I used a brush pen with Lexington Grey Noodler's ink to paint my cats, Ellis and Sophie. Gouache made them pop off the page! |
I draw and paint my cats a lot--they're both beautiful and handy models. Always a challenge, though...
