Goss Lake in Gouache

Painting a landscape in gouache is very hard. There are so many variables that you have to deal with all at once that it is very frustrating. I definitely need more experience to do this well.

Within one hour of painting this is what I’ve had to deal with, most all at the same time.

Chair breaking
Light changing every 2 minutes
Subject changing as people come and go
Water changing
Severe changes in value to the gouache as it dries
Bugs
Hot sun

And yet today was a wonderful day 🙂

Gouache, Landscape

I'm an artist on a mission to do at least 30 minutes of art every single day for the rest of my life and track that progress on my website for all to see. I'm past the 10 year mark and I'm still going strong. Now it's time to give back and help other artists create a life long habit of creating.
