Yellow Glasses, Red Lips

Yellow Glasses, Red Lips - gouache and mixed media painting by artist Joanie Springer10″ x 10″ on gessoed 140 lb watercolor paper
 Gouache and opaque watercolor

My first 10″ x 10″.  I’m finding that I really need to limit myself to a very few sizes.  So I’m settling on 7″ and 10″ squares for the moment as a single 22″ x 30″ watercolor sheet can yield 12-7″ squares or 6-10″ squares.

I gesso them because I love the freedom the gesso base gives me, I can wipe off and redo just about anything on this surface.  Additionally, gesso gives such a nice substance or weightiness to a 140lb watercolor sheet, too.  FYI – I use cold pressed because I like the texture.

$90  in 11″ x 14″ mat ready to frame includes U.S. s&h
