I have completed this little painting I started with watercolour.
I decided to redo it with gouache.
I am very happy with the medium.
This  little landscape is a corner where I walk almost everyday …
The bridle way in Seabrook, Hythe Kent in Autumn… 

I was educated in France where children had to come to school with their own tin of gouache.
i did love their colours and the smell… I felt it was magic!
I have never forgotten being 8 years old and the teacher asking us to paint an apple… luckily mine was red… the next lesson was Autumn leaves…
I was in my element … the time flew by and I was gutted when I had to pack…

so school children in France knew how to handle gouache.
Watercolour or Aquarelle were either rare or reserved to real artists and so expensive …
A few years ago I tried some gouache… they were called designer gouache… I did not like them. They were too heavy. The colours too garish. 

A few days ago I did some research and found these tubes of gouache for £28.00 on amazon
​

Royal Talens… I love them… They are fresh and thin…
There are enough complimentary colours to create something good…
Let see
I think I will combine watercolour and gouache.
I will lay the foundation of a painting in Watercolour and come back with the gouache.
so, watch this space 😀

This means there was a few hiccups to sort out with the shopping cart!

After over a week of frustration and confusion, the shopping cart is once more running.
So business as usual is restored.

“Alice” Pure Watercolour 
After a photo by her younger sister Lucy who is the artist of the family.
Seven years old Lucy’s imagination and creativity are quite remarkable.
one morning, when she saw the sun sending golden colours on her sister’s face, she asked her not to move as she wanted to do a photo.
later Alice told me she wanted me to turn the photo into a watercolour portrait.
