Gouache Love

I started these with the idea that they would just be informal sketches so I would've composed these a little better but I was in a hurry to apply this new found love of gouache.  I think this media (for me)

is here to stay.  

Now why hadn't I tried this before?

Gouache seems to be the best of two worlds and for some reason I never really explored the possibilities.  The convenience of watercolour with the ability to do fine detail and work in layers

like oil paints.  I originally thought I'd work with them for illustrations but am pleased that I can

do more fine art work with them as well.
