Loading Dock (Gouache 4/6)


Another version of the loading dock or shipping dock, whatever it's called. This is in gouache on Cresent illustration board.

Rock on with the gouache Chris. I love the opaque too.. but little time anymore. I love the old illustrators' use of gouache - such mastery! The ability to layer with out lifting - and smooth thin surfaces. You really did justice to this scene!

Killa Chris. This one has all the temperatures in all the right places. I give you credit for working in gouache, I never had the patience. Great painting!

WK. Those old time cats you got to study. It's required! Coby Whitmore, John Whitcomb and Harry Anderson to name a few.

Thanks Cooper. Gouache is fast. I will probably do an oil of this one for the upcoming show I mentioned in a previous post. Got a few other possibilities in my sketchbook.

\\Chris... that's a nice piece... like Cooper says you have all the right temps in the right places!!! Been a while since I have used guaches, but you have done a great job pulling this one off!!
