....That's... Gouache... The most volatile, evil form of paint ever.

And you did a great job. ^^

I was forced to use gouache at school and now its my favorite paint ever.

I like it when used in mixed media, but I -hate- using it by itself. Even if it does look pretty snazzy at the end. Sooo velvety~ v.v I'm just prone to messing it up. I'm a fan of water color & acrylics though. :O I'd also really like to take an oil painting course.

-Random paint rant all up on your comments.-

But really, this is fantastic. I especially love the tree branch she's standing on.

Thanks!

Oh, this is really nice. I especially love the jungle background; dense foliage is hard to make it look right, and you most certainly did it right.

That is amazing but where can I find this gouache program Seskata?

gouache is a type of paint, kind of like opaque watercolor.

OK cool and how much does it cost?

Umm, depends on the quality of the paint and where you buy, but usually $3-$4 per tube.

Wow I thought it would be way more then that I thought it would be at least $20 to $30 a tube I think I can get it at any art supply store

The good stuff is gonna cooooost...

I was forced to use gouache at school too. XD I really enjoyed working with it but MY STARS it was so expensive compared to watercolors I gave it up after a while.

The thing about gouache is that it's tricky to dilute in just the right way and getting a more expensive brand helps so that when you lay down layers of thin paint, it won't crack. Yeah, it will actually cause cracks in the paint sometimes in cheaper brands.

But it really does have a nice effect if you're devoted to it...

wow Seskata absolutely stunning work here! GREAT job!

I hope you win! Awesome painting.

she has awesome legs

Beautiful piece.

That you did this with gouache blows my mind!

beautifully done
