The Clock in Bryan, Texas

Downtown Clock, Bryan, Texas, gouache

For this 45 minute gouache sketch I used ultramarine blue, cadmium yellow, burnt sienna, and white.

It's also funny timing because I just tried casein painting for the 1st time today, & your extensive info on it was part of the reason I justified spending a bit on on a white and black tube. It was fun, so thank you! I also really appreciate your advice for self-taught artists that I saw a few weeks ago on Youtube. As a young aspiring artist who recently completed an unrelated degree, it's inspiring to know how possible it is to get so good without the luxury of a structured art education. I am also drawn to natural history subjects, particularly birds and primates, & it's thrilling to dive into all the side-subjects that help you do the natural world justice, including color theory & basic anatomy. Did you have any favorite side-subjects when you were first learning?
