When gorse is out of bloom.....

 

The gorse is blooming, filling the air with it's wonderful fragrance, inspiring me to remember this quotation.  I have to thank Teri Casper for introducing me to etegami last week with her post.

Milkweed Bloom - 20 Minute Challenge

I stood out on the path to the lake and sketched this milkweed bloom and painted it with gouache (which is like opaque watercolor) and it works perfectly on this tan paper. I love the tan paper and once I discovered I could paint no it with gouache I am using it more and more.

This one is my Twenty Minute Challenge.

This was done with ink and white gouache on tan paper.
