Studio Log : Floral Gouache Studies

I’ve been using gouache this month, trying to get a better understanding of how to use it in a way that gets results that I like. I’d never had luck with gouache previously but recently realized that I’d assumed it was to be used like watercolor, and it can be, but it can also be used with much less water, as an opaque medium like acrylics. I haven’t quite figured out the process yet, but I really love the vibrant matte colors it creates.
