breaking free
gouache on illustration board, 11.5" x 14"
pomegranates apparently symbolize society, fertility, and death. provocative mix!
this is my first time using real gouache. i really regret exchanging that windsor newton gouache for holbein acryla while at RISD ... acryla's basically gouache without the best part: the ability to rewet old paint. so now i have an expensive thing of acryla that i have little use for.
but i digress. gouache is ridiculously hard to blend but i think it's an interesting medium in it's own right. i think i actually prefer it over acrylics...
