Light and shadow in gouache
Here a picture i made in my holidays from an evening scene in a little village in France.
I tried watercolour, gouache und pastels, cause I like to experiment with different creative approaches, to get more loose and not too fiddely. Gouache is a watercolour, but more opaque, than pure watercolour. I am not sure, if i could get the more abstract painting with watercolour alone. What do you think?

I fully agree Birgit, experimenting with mixed media is a great way to explore subjects from different view points. I don't think you would achieve the same effects with watercolour, I don't use gouache much, I mainly use acrylics for abstract work, combining it with charcoal and pastel and sometimes using watercolour over the acrylic as the acrylic resists the watercolour and gives varied effects.
Thank you for sharing this.
