Sketching a still life with flowers while thinking about Berthe Morisot’s color. Hard to capture the radiance of her oils in gouache, so I added some casein.

Still life with apples. This gouache sketch was done looking at how Cezanne used color temperature over value to create volume.

Little River near Mendocino. So happy that this one sold right off my easel to an off duty park ranger out for a day at the beach with his little daughter

Portrait of my husband when he was younger, but of course it doesn’t really look like him. Applying what I have learned about Rembrandt and how he used color

I painted over a small watercolor landscape with gouache working to establish clear cool and warm zones. I think it made the shadow on the slope feel shadier and the sunny area more blazing

Here is the rest of my painting that I gouached over with Bonnard inspired color. I’m tickled (as my mom would say).
