In episode 2, we continue to explore using gouache. I give more info about brands used and about how poor photo references can force us into making better decisions about what we want to say in our paintings. In this painting as in the first, I made a square photo from a horizontal reference.

Marsh scenes are familiar to me, and I have found them to be a helpful series subject when I’m testing the waters for something new. Sometimes the new thing is recording an art show and sometimes it’s trying a different color palette or art materials.

For my supply list and any other references made during the show, please see the resources page. Thanks for tuning in! -Kim
