I have to agree with David Teter in part, because I chose colored pencil for its light-fast transparent character, but find the use of gouache comes in mighty handy.

I became acquainted with Larry's work through Wet Canvas, where Larry is a Moderator on many of the forums. I have learned to grow by listening to his comments on others work and also by his own work. Larry is very knowledgeable about art and art history and shares it freely with our art community. Being a person who leans more toward a colorist myself, I was very excited to see Larry dive into the gouache medium. I love his work and enjoy the demo's he post for us to share and learn. He is truly a gifted artist. Thank you Lines and Colors for choosing Larry Seiler for your featured Artist this month.

Syd Mead,among others,proves that gouache is a medium that easily stands on it's own as a finished medium.And much like pastels, often gets "reversed" in how it's viewed or thought of as a finished piece.Many pastelist's see their work as paintings, not drawings(and rightfully so).Some see gouache paintings as drawings.Check out the work of Ruprecht von Kaufmann .The artist himself lists his gouache work under drawings category,not paintings.In Kaufmann's case,this may be due to his own definition of the words paintings/drawings since his gouache and charcoal work look so much much like his painting/wax larger work,but seem to function as preliminary studies,but I'm not certain.Size (dimensions)of work too,sometimes dictates how much "respect" artwork gets as a finished piece(NOT rightfully so)but that's another subject.

I have been on a quest to acquaint myself with gouache (I'm about 8 years out of practice with oil and have been looking for a new fix). So now that I've got all my tools in order, you've gone and blessed me with some great examples of what I can do with it! These make me miss Wisconsin (I lived near Madison for about a year) Thank you for sharing this.
