This question is really about yesterday's post. Did you create gouache pans by allowing the tube paints to dry much like you created your traveling watercolor kit, or am I misinterpreting the photo?
Jim, No, I'm just using my watercolor set for the mixing surfaces, and squeezing out small amounts of tube gouache. So the painting is done just with the tube gouache.
:) Good one!
Made my day. Thanks, Jim! :-)
Hilarious!
Awesome! Funny, Creative 😄
This is awesome. It feels like the end-of-movie or show animations that the production companies/ studios do.
"A short but touching story"!
No idea what the story is about...or would have been; without the break;-)
Nice picture with that beautiful sky-rising temple, though, and funny interval;
after all,.. that is...
