Episode 6: Gouache VI
Episode 6 picked up where I left off previously. With the painting foundations made, I put away the reference only glancing at my small painted study of the reference photo by habit. I’ll admit that it’s stressful to try to complete a painting for cameras, because paintings are never sure things and the process changes each time.
I love the color notes I landed on for the piece. There is still work to be completed with it, but I’m happy with the episode’s result.
For my supply list and any other references made during the show, please see the resources page. If you would like to try to paint the scene, the initial reference and painting study can be found in the notes for Episode 5.

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.
