Smug (Gouache) by Lewis Cooper

Comments

I forgot to say this quote is attributed to Isaac Asimov, the famous science fiction writer. Sounds pretty smug, but maybe he was joking.

Great image and a great quote Lewis. I’m just beginning to find out what you can and can’t do with gouache but it’s a nice medium to work with.

Excellent use of gouache and yes he does look rather smug! Nice one and a good quote.

You’ve got an excellent technique with gouache Lewis. I bought a set not so long ago but haven’t persevered….

A brilliant image Lew, and I love the quote! Excellent handling of gouache!

Here, here! (I like the painting too)

Very successful it is too Lewis.

A great quote and a great image in gouache Lewis!

This is very well done Lew , excellent quote ☺️

Perfect quote and a great character that sums it up

Wonderful Lewis, I've not tried gouache, maybe I will give it a go sometime.

Brilliant illustration Lewis, I've never tried gouache but I really like how you've used it here.

Excellent work Lew great character.

I must concur!

A superb image for that quote Lewis. They fit together very well.

Amazing Lewis lol 😃🥰

Lovely work as always Lewis. I must dig out my gouache, haven't used it in a long time.

I doubt he was joking! Lovely character!

That look of pomposity is wonderful Lew.

Asimov had a great sense of humor, and irony. I read most of his works as a kid. I love this quote, tho I can't remember from which of his writing it comes.

Thanks to all for your generous comments.

Love the image and quote. Great use of gouache, I’ve never been able to get on with it, must try it again.

Totally agree with him! They're a real pain, aren't they! Thanks, Lewis for your smile!

Lovely painting in gouache Lewis and so apt too!I have never painted in gouache but do have some, may try it sometime!

They are everywhere at this time and your character sums it up perfectly. Love it.

I wanted to paint something in gouache again. As I like words and pictures, I found this quote to go with it. A4.

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
