Painting at the Botanical Garden

The botanical garden is an oasis of serenity in a busy city. I seek the shade in summer with bright flowers flourishing. This time of year in Spring I experiment with all the colors and textures of the blossoms and leaves.

What is Gouache Paint?

I like gouache and find my gouache pieces are very illustrative like children’s book style illustrations. I use them for handmade cards, too. Like watercolors, they can be less expensive student grade to more expensive professional grades and found in gel trays and tubes.
