Happy 2020!

May the next year and decade be the best yet to come!

My special word for the next year is Grow. 🌱
I want to keep growing as a person, as wife, as a mom, and as an artist. I am the forever student and need to feed my brain for more art, more information in many areas....

How to paint a face with Gouache

How to paint a face with Gouache, after drawing a cute girl.
I have to say painting with Gouache is fun, but I still do not like the fact that it will reactivate and the paint will move all over, like watercolors.
I personally prefer a type of paint that once it dries, it stays. However, the gouache is so buttery I had to give it another go ;o)

First the post about the drawing a girl: HERE





And this is the video about painting with Gouache: HERE




Drop me a comment and let me know if you have tried this medium and if you like it.
If you are participating in the 29 faces, are you keeping up?
