Gouache and More Color

Daya was in her room and it was very very quiet... I went in to check and found her fast asleep, guarded by Pebbles.

An artist friend posted some lovely gouache sketches.  I asked her about her palette, which she shared.  I got one.  It's an empty palette and I filled it myself from tubes.  Isn't it adorable?






During dance I used this new palette for the first time, and I like it a lot!

Since now I have done enough gouaches to look at them as a group, I have been evaluating and critiquing them as a whole.  What I have come to is they are too grey.  I need more color.  So that was my goal last night.

This is so odd because I'm a pastel-person and also a color junkie... but my gouache sketches are so grey!  I don't have this issue in any other medium. 

Anyhow, here is the studio again, with turquoise.

  1. Those studios don't usually have much color to inspire one. Especially if you are there after work when you are tired. I like the colors in this sketch.
