Watercolors & Gouache

 Watercolor and gouache has always been one of my favorite painting media that allows me the freedom to create images over several hours as a sketch or a few days as a completed painting . They are my first impression en plein air of what drew me to a scene, the creative notes, that may or may not fuel my desire to compose a more sophisticated composition in oil at a later date or simply consider them to be complete as they are.
