I was motivated to finish this course by the Giddy for Gouache challenge. I had started in July but health issues caused a break. So pleased to get back into it as well as do Peggy Deans, 'Gouache Florals' for the challenge.

Decided not to post everything as so much and also upgraded to better quality paint when I decided gouache was something I really wanted to keep exploring. I feel like I learned heaps and can see so many more possibilities, Great course.

Complimentary grays.

Need to explore these some more as struggled a bit with pairing the complimentary colours.
