Gouache - Attempting Miss Willoughby by Romney

What do you do when it's time for bed, but you aren't sleepy? I decided to try a paint a small 4x6 painting to practice gouache techniques. I sped up the process so it wouldn't be an hour long and you can see my results. Her head tilt and face was a bit off, but for my a bit of practice, it was worth the time. What do you think?
Any time you create, it's a way of taking care of yourself. So pick up a picture and try to paint it. Let me know how you do.
Happy creating!

Excellent way of using your Time...is this hot pressed paper?

[@KariWaltz]

No, not hot pressed. Believe it or not, it's inexpensive watercolor paper I picked up at $5 Below in a spiral tablet. I did paint it first with a thin coat of clear gesso from Liquitex. This seals the paper so I can be rougher with it and it takes tape much better.

Excellent job on the piece! You’re a lady of many talents. How thick was the gouache? Watercolor consistency? Been there, done that concerning sleep. Worked on some linocuts as a result.

This painting was done more with thicker creamier paint. The background was thinner.

Very nice.... what quoche are you using and where did you get the blue sketch pencil?

[@KariWaltz]

I used Windsor Newton gouache and the blue pencil was a present from one of my students, Prismacolor Col-Erase 20028
