First day, last day
Posted: April 1, 2021 Filed under: Uncategorized 7 CommentsIt’s the first day of April, but it’s the last day for these tulips that have been sitting on my counter for many days. Today I continued playing with gouache, this time using a limited palette of Primary Magenta, Ultramarine and Cadmium Yellow, plus White. My favourite paper for gouache is hot press, and this one is in an Etchr sketchbook. Although I rarely use hot press paper for pure watercolour, I love the creamy texture of gouache on the smooth surface of this book.

Love this! You captured the “about to fall off” appearance of the petals so gracefully.

I really enjoy this painting! You’ve ma de such a lovely work from a wilting vase of flowers! There’s still lots of life and spirit left in them. I also like the loose washy background and your limited pallet. Very nicely done…..as always.
