Art Group ok this morning, bit of a discussion on use of gouache. I've used it recently for some flowers sketches and found it easier to control than watercolour, lovely bright colours. I've got Pamela Kay's book on gouache for inspiration, beautiful paintings. My name is on a list to go to N.E.C. in November for an art materials fair, better start saving. Haven't been to N.E.C. for years. My paintings this morning were pretty awful, some days the paint just will not behave.
