Fire Station beyond the Creek

Michaela joined me for a little plein air by the creek today!  I first ink my composition, then follow with the gouache.  So far, I like the way the way the paint moves.  I'm trying it on a different paper with a firmer texture.  I think the heavier weight is a benefit.  The soft, buttery paper was a little harder to handle.  I do NOT like the white gouache!  It is too bluish in color, and works just like Chinese white, which I also don't like!  So today's valuable lesson is to save my whites with this medium!  Painting number 1892 in 1892 days.
