Ever asked yourself why professional gouache is cheaper than watercolors and also more opaque by using no fillers? Here you go!

Simple landscape painted in watercolors... some look suspiciously opaque. Could it be gouache? What's the difference? How can we know?

I joined a local Urban Sketchers group yesterday and after living so long in a place where there was none, it was so nice and refreshing to meet likeminded creative people.

Can't wait for the next meetup...

Also as you can see I chose some very nice urban architecture as a subject with lots of colorful trash cans. It was a blast! (Kind of accidentally inspired others to paint them too. ooops)

Sketchbook with open pages held in a hand with a small dirty take out building and a row of trashcans. The painting in the sketchbooks shows the scene in loose lines and some bright colors highlighting the trash cans. A lady stands at the counter of the building in the sketch, which is long gone in the photo. Where did she go? Why didn't she buy anything? We will never know. But for a short moment she was captured in this loose sketch with no name, a silhouette of a friend, we haven't met yet.

I've been trying out a new to me brand of watercolors on stream yesterday and they were lovely. They also felt very unusual to me in the sense that even the staining colors lifted easily.

I need to explore this further of course... but it was something I noticed rightaway and a #pigmentnerd like me catches this early on. We'll see how this goes!

Sandcat for your enjoyment.
