Druid Hill Gouache

"Aftermath," gouache on gesso panel, 6x8

Although it's one of the art media I've tried, gouache isn't a big part of my practice. Over the years I've done portraits, landscapes and even still life in gouache, but watercolor and oil paintings far outnumber those. Still, there is a silky feel to the paint, a little like oils, and gouache is water soluble like watercolor and acrylic, but opaque. Some call gouache opaque watercolor, actually. 

This work was done looking out my studio window one very snowy day in the middle of February 2020. The weather as I remember it was frigid but sunny, as is often the case following a big storm.
