The priming color is blue at the top and orange at the bottom, applied in a smooth gradient with a block printing brayer the day before.
The priming is visible through top layers, because gouache is often a bit transparent.
I'll be showing more about gradients and how to use them in your paintings when I release "Gradients" on September 10.

This seems like a cool idea.
Painting a good gradient on larger surfaces is something I've struggled with. How to do it really well. Oil seems like a must for that application, tho you might be able to underpaint with something for effect.
