I spent the better part of yesterday trying out my new gouache paints here at my work table. I'm drawing designs inspired by Hungarian folk embroidery and needed a bright pigment that had less variation and unpredictability then watercolor. So far I like the results I got with the new opaque paints because the color more evenly saturates the mixed media paper in my sketchbook. The black pens worked well over the color. This week's goal is to continue designing these images and to practice a confidant line.
