Like this and the style Dawn. Gouache a favourite of mine.

The colours in this are gorgeous; and it definitely looks like one of those old railway posters. I really like the contour effects you've achieved with the paint too.

Beautifully done, definitely of the railway poster style and up the the top class ones as well.

You have certainly captured the elegant and stylish look of those posters. This is a super result.

Really good, you have captured the essence of the style perfectly. I’ve tried this and you are right, it’s harder than it looks, but the matt gouache paint works really well here.

Love the very illustrative design of this Dawn. Very like those old railway posters.

Mission accomplished Dawn. The difficulty of painting in this style I think is keeping edges crisp and colours even, but you’ve done a good job.

My first thought was Railway Poster then I read your description so it’s worked. Lovely job

This is a great experiment Dawn and you've definitely met your brief

Love the style of this. I love that road too. The palette is beautiful

I really like this Dawn, great style!

I just love those colours; a beautiful experiment!

It's beautifully done, with great variety of shapes and space, and wonderful mark-making. I'd book a train journey to this destination in an instant if this was an actual railway poster!

Excellent painting Dawn, love the style.

I love this Dawn! It reminds me of the vintage posters.

Great style and choice of colours

I've been experimenting with my lovely gouache paints again, but this time I decided to try to simplify what I was seeing. I wanted to try to recreate the old railway posters, advertising places to visit. Its harder than it looks.
