Description

This was an experiement. I have never used guache before. I was looking at guys like Fabry and Bisley who were getting these intense colors in their pieces. So I figured I'd try it out. This was just to experiment with the cape. Guache is kind of chalky and vibrant, almost at the same time. It's also quite a large piece, at 14.5 x 22.5, another first (I haven't painted that large.) I was able to rework the piece a number of times with the guache, something I don't think I could have done with straight water color.

Anyway, again, just for fun. I wanted a nice atmospheric piece. I conjured up George Pratt for this one. He painted my second all time favorite Batman piece, a holiday promo piece. Fantastic. Ok, ok, and a little Ted Mckeever in there, too...

AMAZING!!!.I find guache extremely difficult just because its so tempermental that one extra drop of the color you're using to mix and the mixture is ruin (aaarrgghh).You handle it extremely well,keep it up.Thanks for sharing.
