Hello Ic
Who here has worked with gouache? I watched a Watts video and he was saying that gouache is the link between drawing and painting, What are IC thoughts on this? I see great benefit on being able to work with color and learning application of paint with a medium that is not as messy and expensive as oil paints. Also I want to get into gouache and know next to nothing about it. What is the Idea surface to paint on, what are good brands, any other info on Gouache would be greatly appreciated.
