My first Gouache painting! always in to try some new art materials! Have to say it was hard but fun! Feels a lot like watercolor but opaque and slow drying.

It's beautiful! And I've heard great things about gouache, but I'm not that style of artist so unfortunately, I can't speak from experience 😅😜.
@JohannaForster Oh wow, that looks amazing! Is there a story behind it?
@Teskariel thank you ☺️ no it’s improvised, only a feeling! 💛🌱
@JohannaForster very nice!
I kinda find gouache like the worst of both worlds haha 😂 You're supposed to be able to paint light over dark, but it lifts like crazy and I can never get a clean top layer.
@nelchee haha 😆 it’s definetely hard! I think you are supposed to let one layer dry for some hours to paint over it in a lighter color - but I’m also impatient!
@JohannaForster oh no, that wouldn't work for me 😅
@JohannaForster
Oh this is so beautiful!

@JohannaForster
I don't know if you've named it, but it immediately struck me as a bust of Hiroko Ai, the Japanese prodigy of biosphere design in Kim Stanley Robinson's #SciFi novels of Mars Trilogy. Her philosophy:

Viriditas

Latin for “greening power.”

@65dBnoise ohh I don’t know about that yet but that sounds beautiful :) 🌱
@JohannaForster Lovely! The use of color is so beautiful, especially the pretty greens. 💚
