Learning Gouache

So I've been teaching myself how to work in gouache. I'm using it in my landscape class because our teacher has been very lenient about letting us choose which media to work in. Awesome practice.

Fiddled around in the beginning just to get the hang of it.

Did these last week in class at Deukmejian Wilderness Park.

Did these yesterday for homework at LA Arboretum.

Already I can tell I've come a ways since my first gouache landscape (which you don't want to see, believe me). It's encouraging to know I'm improving :)
