61: Gouache Sketch: Pune University Campus-Lalit Kala Kendra-Centre for Performing Arts

Gouache Sketch on Tinted Paper...
Plein Air...
I enjoy dabbling in all possible mediums of sketching & painting... gouache being one of them... after working in the magic of the translucent watercolours, working in gouache gives you relief... its thick impasto layering can be undaunting as it gives ample scope for rework... gouache works especially well on tinted papers... switching mediums takes away the monotony too!
