Gouache, again...

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...
