    I absolutely LOVE this work! Is it pastel or watercolor? There is a raw beauty to it that lends it power and grace. Great work.

  • Thank you! What a wonderful compliment.
    It is done in gouache. I use a lot of wax paper on wet paint technique to make strange forms and patterns in the pigment.

  • I really like gouache. Here is an old blog post about how this painting came about!
