Gouache can be used in many ways. One of the most popular, is treating it like oils using them thin to thick. I even like to mix oils on the surface of the painting rather than in the palette, and since this painting was painted on a smooth, not slick gesso board, it allowed for that kind of blending. You can get out your paints and paint with me if you like. Let me know what you think of this style.
