A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

The art and light in Mexico City was amazing. What a magical place.
I want to go back and paint for days.
And eat. The food was so good.

Gouache study of Xochimilco, Mexico. The light was so pretty there and the flowers, so fine.

Another sketch from the Museo National de Antropoligia - CDMX
It's a Teotihuacan piece but I have no idea what kind of animal it is.

Hey, your art is really really cool! If you dont mind sharing, how long have you been painting and how did you learn? I started learning gouache a few months ago, and am super curious 😅 again, loved descovering your blog
Hello Kind Tumblr Friend,
I've been painting all my life, so decades I guess. I used to do children's book illustration but now I just paint whatever I want to. I LOVE gouache. It's so forgiving. :-)
One thing that I've been doing that has really helped my sketchbook paintings has been taking online classes through Domestika. The two instructors that I recommend are Laura McKendry and Adolfo Serra. They are more watercolor than gouache but are really helpful with lots of great tips and techniques. And the classes are less than ten bucks = win!
Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. Draw on!
