This little guy (mmm maybe he is a bit on the tubby side) is for Jo's Flora and Fauna theme at AJJ.
Painted him using normal gouache.. ( I say normal as further below the paintings were using the acrylic gouache).
Below
are painted using the new acrylic-gouache called 'Acryl
Gouache' I got last week and I've been experimenting with for the last few days. The instructions are all in Japanese so no idea what they say but I've been diluting them with water and flow enhance medium. Unlike normal gouache these dry permanent so can't be reworked after. I love gouache as it has a sort of flat/chalky appearance and often the colours are vibrant. Use them like acrylics or water colours - great!
I'm going to link this to Moo Mania and More where the theme is flowers
This started off as a messy background followed by negative painting
for the shape of the vase with flowers and then further flowers etc added.
I got carried away with this paint so will save some paintings
for another post but I did have fun just playing..
Sheila said it was tremendous fun - and she was right!
ha ha - I think I might have painted this after lunch and after having a drink :)
thanks so much for stopping by
hope you have a great day...
