Three more of the little gouache studies. I'm just having so much fun with this medium! Yesterday I bought 9 colors of M. Graham gouache, which is much richer and creamier than the pan set I've been using. I like the way I can create opaque or transparent passages. I'm still using the Sharpies for lines, but now I wonder if that won't change. Not sure.
My friend Kat Wilson suggested using the Somerset Black Velvet for these. I'm going to give it a try and see what happens now that I have some paint with 'oomph' to it! If I can just learn how to make this stuff behave, loosely, I'll be a happy artist.
These little studies are available for sale. I cut the image outside the black lines to square it up, then mount it on some colored paper and ship it on a piece of mat board in one of my ClearBags. Let me know if you're interested.

I really am having too much fun David, it's true! Every day I look forward to learning something new. These new paints are a huge step forward, too...although now I'm using both sets for the lovely color combos they make. I have paint on my fingers right now. I can't keep my fingers out of the paint! (Old habits die hard.)
