I started this series to try to improve my use of Gouache…an opaque watercolour. I have used it before in small measure along with my transparent watercolours but this time using it on its own. It dries extremely fast which is both a sticking point and an advantage depending on how it’s used. I loved the ability to layer from thin to thick. I found I much preferred to use the colours straight from the tube onto a stay-wet pallet as I have done for acrylics in the past….much easier to blend thicker paint as they never reconstituted well enough from a dried and then re-wet travel pallet.
