Oh Leonie's lovely Jan ... thought at first she was watercolour.
Gouache is yet another medium I've never tried ... but I'm more at home with pencils than brushes.
Our Summer is long gone here in England - its quite bright out but pretty windy and cold - perhaps you can send us some sunshine
Thanks, Sue. I tend to use gouache more like watercolor so it doesn't surprise me that you thought it was w/c. I like it because you still have control but it covers much like pastel or oil or acrylic.
Leonie has a "brother" who is named Mephisto and I thought of tagging this painting with that name. Leonie has a slightly wicked look about her! lol
I would gladly send you some of our heat but think it's due to cool down a bit next week. Still 80's though which will be perfect as far as I'm concerned.
Cats are wonderful. I love 'em. This is a nicely done piece...especially the eyes!
Can't wait until it finally will be cool again. We have been able to sleep with the windows open at night the last few days, so this is a sign it won't be long for some cooler daytime weather. Yeah!!
She is gorgeous.
And she's an eye catcher! You did a great job on this, Jan. Love it!!!
