Painting with Gouache

Gouache painting of 3 fishermen in a dory on the Colorado River

So I recently started painting with Gouache media and found it very satisfying.

This is a studio work up from a photograph and is done on plain paper in my 11″x14″ sketch book.

While researching the medium I noticed that gouache is typically used in a very saturated and mostly opaque style common to advertising and graphic illustrations and looses the subtlety and transparency of watercolor.

I found this to be limited as it was demonstrated and so I began to experiment with blending very diluted layers of paint on top of one another.

The result was more akin to what is seen in watercolor with the added advantage of being able to overlay lighter color on top of dark which is nearly impossible to do successfully in watercolor.

From the puppet desk

This is just an announcement post to formally launch my journey into this realm of personal exposition in this social medium. I’m essentially an introverted person shunning the lime light but embarking on this endeavor to build a web site and define a presence on the internet for my art, forces me to represent myself and my unique perspective on the world in this most public forum. A necessary task for my art to be visible which is fulfillment of it’s function.

Art is Dying and it’s ARTificial intelligence that will kill it ! This post is in the form of a Rant.

Artificial Intelligence is just that. Artificial. Meaning fake. Real intelligence is spirit driven. Artificial intelligence in my estimation is devoid of spirit.

Can AI generate an original thought or anything for that matter.
