Hi, gouache on WC paper 300gm 10x25cm from a photo with him clowning about. I will be using this for a larger piece. Useful exercise. Totally different from my landscapes, the detail work and layers is useful like oils, but the media acts differently, naturally. I like it, but more to keep in mind as you work esp with drying effects. The actual painting is a little more even, the phone picks up edges etc..... I'm far from a portraitist, or even natural artist, but I have fun!

This one looks lively and emotional. Great!

You seem to have captured a personality.

Thanks txomsy. Thanks Bart.
Yes, he is a character, the likeness for me at least is ok. He was showing of cooking skills.
I'm working up to a couple of larger gouache pieces. It's different, but the way the media works, it has character.
Like a poor man's oil..... But I kinda like it.

You are doing really well with the gouache. Love your combo of colour choices. This portrait is lively and full of character.
