I used Prussian blue, phthalo green, cobalt turquoise light, primary yellow and titanium white.
BRUSHES
For brushes I use a 1/2" angled shader, a 1/2" flat, size 8 filbert, size 4 round, size 6 round petal and size 2 liner. These are Kingart Original Gold Series brushes- I've been using these brushes exclusively for over 2 years now and I love them!

That looks like it took days, weeks & months to paint and you’re like poof and it’s done. You are the female version of Bob Ross. I am honored to watch you.

[@msmith9738]

Loved painting this. My first finished gouache painting after many frustrated attempts, your clear guidelines and instruction have helped me create something (though not at the same level as yours) that I am very pleased with and proud of; can't wait to try some more!!

Ruth Wilshaw is a Mixed Media 114lb 35% cotton paper spiral bound (120 pgs) book good for gouache? Or is it too thin? I was gifted it for my birthday.

[@RuthWilshaw]

Mixed media paper is often great for gouache as it’s made to stand up to a variety of different art supplies! 💕

[@kineiya]

Thank you for answering.
