Gouache Studies

I’m working on some larger pieces from the “Window” collection alongside some seascapes and figurative works. Moving small and attacking these little 6 x 4 in gouache paintings has kept me busy and entertained as I wait for layers to dry on my oil paintings. Some of these have been either sold or added to my shop so feel free to check it out if you’d like to get your hands on one.

Sometimes I keep little memorabilia by putting the washi tape on the back that I used to make the borders, or pieces of my paper palette and paper towels used to clean my brushes. Just having some fun! I think it adds to the paintings even though it sits on the back. It feels like a little inside joke.
