Gouaches
It was so interesting to use gouaches to paint this waterfall, the
world’s tallest uninterrupted waterfall, with a height of 979 meters
and a plunge of 807m.The waterfall drops over the edge of the Auyantepui
mountain in the Canaima National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
in the Gran Sabana region of Bolivar State in Venezuela.

I love to make beaches in different mediums, but felting is like
painting with watercolors. The lady is taking a good nap at
the beach on a small chair under the umbrella.
Love to paint flowers with watercolors, metallic watercolors and gouache!
It is good to draw in pencil, the artists say that one should draw at least 10 minutes a day in pencil, I try.
I am not so good but fun to do.
Many days painting in watercolors, I really love it!

I have been painting birds in watercolors, it is so much fun to mix colors and get them alike! Love it!
