Well... not everything was coming up helen... yesterday. Gouache was being very bossy. She was telling me - "Helen, you have to plan... think it through... choose your colors ahead... sketch. Spontaneity doesn't cut the mustard in this case." I was telling her - "Sweety, I have ADD and three children... work with me here:)"In the end, this portrait of Lola dancing is the only thing I can show.
I'll be at it again. I will make make friends with gouache:)
(Gouache, if you are reading my blog... " I love your smooth buttery texture and how fast you dry. See ya soon:)

Helen, I think gouache already likes you very much! She seems to be good friends with you as Lola's portrait came out perfect! I love it! And the texture in the background is gorgeous! thumbs up to you and gouache! ;)
oh she is adorable! she has that unmistakeable Helen charm.
my gouache has been wanting me to come play too but I just keep piling stuff in front of her to muffle the voice. This piece looks great!
I like it!
Oh! About the print in my blog: The author of the illustration is Pija Lindenbaum and the book is Bridget and the Gray Wolves :)
aww...soo cute! I love the texture details! Lovely!
I love gouache, too. I forgot about it, really! Thanks for the reminder. I'm sure you two will be a hot item in no time.
Well, this turned out beautifully - the gouache seems to have finally cooperated. Love it! :) Silke

HELEN!!! this made me laugh out loud..it truly did. you + gouache work well together. you couldn't goof if you tried.
Gouche is being a bit hard on you. I think Lola's twirling portrait is gorgeous!
I think it turned out great. I tried out gouache again last after forgeting about it for decades. It was kind of fun. Maybe I'll get it out and give it another go this week.
