All the different ones that I used "blobbed," which is annoying. Also, the ink is not archival, so it will fade with time if exposed to light. By the way, gouache is a very versatile medium--you can use it in washes like transparent watercolors, or opaquely. And it reproduces very well.David Opiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459722903913383777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592285113871164017.post-5970490436034655682009-04-07T07:00:00.000-07:002009-04-07T07:00:00.000-07:00I've just spent a wonderful 10 minutes scrolling t...I've just spent a wonderful 10 minutes scrolling through your blog. What a wonderful artist you are - how pleased I am to have 'discovered' you! I shall come back for a more leisurely browse later today.<BR/><BR/>Your bear in Bic is magnificent - bravo! I think the blobbing adds mightly to the entire spectacle of dauntless bravery. (Love the unseen talisman - I suppose we all have one.
