I worked today with gouache. After three years of working almost exclusively with inks, I suddenly feel my color choices limited. It’s not that I want color to be more true, but I want it to be more complex. I think at first I chose inks because it reminded me of writing, but gouache just has more chances for mixing and making the exact color I want. I suppose I could mix inks, and I may try that, but right now I am deep into enjoying gouache.

(note: these blurry photos were taken with my iphone — my camera had run out of batteries.)
