We mostly use gouache for our textile design classes--sometimes watercolors--but mostly gouache. I like them because they are opaque--so you can paint one color over another without the color underneath showing.
Oh, your owls are just wonderful! So bright and happy!
I just love your blog! I reread your post on growing up in Alaska several times - what a remarkable childhood you had - and what great insights you have because of it.
Hi Leah! No I'm painting the owl design on paper. I'm currently a student at the California School Of Professional Fabric Design---and this is a design to eventually go into my professional textile and surface pattern design portfolio. The school is here: http://www.fabricschool.com/ I love my classes and I'm enjoying creating my design portfolio. We create designs both by hand painting and on the computer with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
I love them. Owls are a fav of mine. I've never used the gouche paints. Are they easy?
ReplyDeleteWow, that is fantastic! Can't wait to see the finished piece...:)
