Thank you for the picture of your set-...Larry, Aha! Thank you for the picture of your set-up. I never thought that one might be working at an easel. As a watercolor painter I've always worked with my paper flat on the table and that's how I've been working on Gouache. And it looks like you are using long handled brushes. Your animations are so helpful. I feel like I'm taking a workshop with you. You are so generous and I can't thank you enough. I'll be ordering your book soon.Carole Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03874480972964140819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20638302.post-85778797287374586432010-02-10T21:25:02.068-08:002010-02-10T21:25:02.068-08:00Its Strathmore Artist Paper, 400 series

I have tried gouache on black paper but I wouldn't call the paper 'thick'. The red flower and green leaves looked so great I just left the background black.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16029722057577018059noreply@blogger.com
