The title is somewhat misleading. Though the Rose is painted in
gouache, I also used transparent watercolors and colored pencils making
this mixed-media.
This video demonstrates the fun of mixing watercolor paints and colored pencils. I use a scan of an earlier sketch that I print out onto smooth Bristol paper. It is a quick and easy process to workout color schemes, techniques and to have fun in general. Here I use a well-known beloved character from my childhood as the subject matter.
