Bueno, I like very much. Please educate me...what is gouache???
ReplyDeleteI want to chat sometime about St. Marg. Bay watercolors...are you marketing/selling or was that just an "exercise"?
ReplyDeleteTo Mrs. Peterson: Gouache is a type of watercolor paint that is opaque or solid, whereas traditional watercolors are translucent. With a combination of the two you can achieve some interesting layering effects.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

Hi Kate-
ReplyDeleteThanks for your question. I will soon be making an official announcement of my new website and store where those pieces will be made available to anyone whose interested. Also, I wouldn't mind making my way back there again to do some more. ;)
