Episode 3: Gouache III
Episode 3 features gouache and I paint another marsh again from a collection of dingy photo references, but with a major change — I make it nighttime! Nocturnes have a special place in my heart, and I like to take daytime references and make them night. It’s certainly tricky to do this and being on camera made it quite an intense exercise.
Now that photography is readily available to anyone with a camera — or a cellphone, nocturnes may be one of the last things for an artist to capture, but with the dawning of AI, everything is different now.
For my supply list and any other references made during the show, please see the resources page. Thanks for tuning in! -Kim

As with the painting in the first episode, this original gouache piece was created during “Kim’s Art Show, Episode 2” and measures 8×8” on a 11×14” beige Stonehenge archival rag paper. The matte finish of the gouache is rich and deep compared to the felt-like texture of the paper surface.
This marsh is characteristically more colorful, with the wildflowers goldenrod and joe pye weed on bright display. Water winds through it, again moving the viewer through the artwork.
The painting is unframed, allowing for you to design framing to your taste. Local pick up is available for those near Norfolk, MA.
Continuing with the marsh series in gouache, this original was painted during “Kim’s Art Show, Episode 3” and measures 8×8” on an 11×14” gray Stonehenge archival rag paper. Gouache has a rich and deep matte finish which contrasts well with the soft texture of the paper.
This imagined scene features deep blues and purples against a plane of green marsh grasses. The moon shines down onto the water with suggested reflection.
