i hate wasting paint (an art challenge)

There’s nothing I hate more than wasting paint. Why are these little tubes of gouache so damn pricey! I typically like using regular gouache, since I can use up my leftover palette to infinity, but the trouble comes with ACRYLA GOUCHE that dries up the moment you look away.

Today, I resolve that by making TWO paintings at the same time.

• One is a main painting

• The other uses up any remaining paint in a lovely efficient way.

You can watch this process in a relaxing vlog format here:

I am using Holbein Acryla-Goauche and Prismacolor pencils here.

This technique actually forms the basis of how I do a lot of my picture book painting; something working on four pages at the same time!

OK BYE!
