Sat outside to paint the pink hibiscus bloom, l had pre-painted the page with Quin. Burnt Orange, so I had to use gouache to paint the pink flower.  Lessons learned, that pen I got the Danny used on TOP of gouache, RUNS when used UNDER gouache… however, the ink does mix a bit with yellow to make a deep green. Other lesson learned for next week's Sketch Crawl in Beaufort SC, bring BUG SPRAY, the no-c-ums attacked almost as soon as I sat down.  Ron was waxing the motorcycle not 10 feet from me, and the bugs were not bothering him at all.  They drove me inside where I finished up the painting.  I'm having fun with the gouache, why did it take me so long to try it out?
