HERE'S LOOKING AT YOU



The last video/lesson with the gouache was to paint an eye on all media paper.  I learned you can get carried away quickly with the eyelashes - the last thing you put on - and ruin it.  I was a bit heavy with the eyebrow, too, but the eye's not too bad for a first try.  


Now I'm on my own with it and I'll keep playing to learn more how it works - unlike watercolor but still a nice medium to take on trips, etc.

Something I always wanted to try, but never did... I really like the look of the landscape painting below. It certainly looks different than watercolor..

Rhonda what a super job with the eye...love how you caught the hi-lite. There is a lot of details to be found in the eye. Enjoying your work in gouache. Hugs!

I'm so glad you liked my eye, everyone!!! (I thought I was replying to your comments, but seems I've gotten behind - I'm blaming Facebook and too easy to click LIKE on there and move on :( Need to spend more time here, where all the work is done!
