My first live lesson.
My first time using gouache was in the watercolour workshop course with the cabin and I remember getting so frustrated with it when I started seeing the looser styles that the gouache conveyed but now I look back on that painting and I love it. I am starting to embrace the encouragement you give in your lessons.
Just love learning new paint techneques.
I am 90 years young and painting and drawing keep me healthy. Have macrogenerstion in my eyes. Hard to get details.
