Day 14 of the Christmas countdown. Here in NY the forecast is for a couple of bitter cold days. I would much prefer some snow! I’ve been using my gouache paints to create the night sky and the snow. It’s thicker than watercolor. See yesterday’s sky here.
Marion painted an adorable snow scene here. Check out Teri’s snowy scene on Instagram.

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been reaching for the gouache paints. It started somewhat unintentionally when I decided to paint a nighttime snowy sky. At first I thought, I thought I had to keep the snow areas white (paper), so I was leaving white circles as I painted the black sky. Which was tedious! I was so happy when I started to flick white gouache paint onto the black and it was much more opaque than I was expecting.
Flicking paint is one of my favorite things. 🙂

After that, I continued with this dark snowy sky in several of my paintings.
I started playing with gouache paints back in June. See the June posting, and learn more about gouache paints here.
