Gouache Goodies

5. December 2008, 11:18 pmArt, PaintingArtoholic Cindy

Having only recently discovered the joys of Gouache (ger-wah-ssh) paint, this was quite a surprise. Gouache is an opaque watercolour, so even though it behaves like watercolour, it can go “light over dark”, something watercolour cannot do. Some delicious brushes and paints are coming my way thanks to Winsor & Newton and their distributors Jasco.

    Good on you! Great to win some goodies.

    I wonder what the Winsor & Newton Lady in Red (or orange) signifies? Doesn’t seem to have much to do with artists materials - on the phone and holding a pair of babies booties or something????

    Thanks guys, I’m astounded to have been a finalist, considering they had over 1300 entries.

    Tazar, I think it’s maybe the telephone base for the handset? Or glass slippers? Or really weird ear muffs.
