I'm super pleased to share that my gouache painting has been accepted and is on display in the Fine Arts building at the Minnesota State Fair! @mnstatefair
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I began with some delicate delphinium stalks and contrasted them against a dark blue background. Where possible, I left some of the previous layers showing and adjusted values & color with thin washes of paint. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This painting was done with acrylic gouache from @liquitexofficial on an 14”x20” sheet of 140lbs. Saunders Waterford colorpress watercolor paper from, @st_cuthberts_mill. •

Painting of some amazing magenta peonies. These were from a variety of peonies that didn’t have as many petals as some others. They looked a bit more like a country rose with the yellow centers.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This painting was done with acrylic gouache from @liquitexofficial on an 9”x12” sheet of watercolor paper mounted on illustration board.

For these roses, I began with an underpainting of brown ink washes. Once the washes of waterproof ink had dried, I layered in gouache layers that had been thinned with water to adjust values, color, and shapes. Finally, I went in with thicker layers of opaque paint. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where possible, I left some of the previous layers showing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This painting was done with acrylic gouache from @liquitexofficial on an 8”x10” sheet of 300lbs. watercolor paper from Fluid Watercolor Paper. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
