I've only used gouache a few times, and never on paper. Somehow, I thought it was a great idea to fill the pages of this brown paper sketchbook with gouache paintings from my garden! The idea of it appeals to me, but oh how I dislike that paper! It is smooth and thin, and only the color is good. The gouache seemed so chalky compared to ink, watercolor, and oils, but I have this really wonderful set that NEEDS to be used. Am I up for the challenge? Or is this little bit of insanity going to push me over the edge? Well, only time will tell because I am not one to leave things undone. Painting number 2390 in 2390 days.
Sorry to hear about the paper, I don't like thin paper either. Your painting, however, is so wonderful!!
