Suzanne, I really enjoyed your class.  Thank you!  I've been painting a lot in Acrylic Gouache lately and haven't been able to achieve the look I was going for, but you've certainly helped.  I can't wait to do more of these.  They are so meditative and freeing to work on.  I also want to take it further and turn them into pattern designs for fabric and wallpaper.

 

I started by doodling shapes in my sketchbook...

I started with layers using my kids' acrylics (very cheap), then moved on to my collection of Holbian Gouache.  I wish I had taken photos for each stage (next time).  I could probably add more to it, but was having trouble deciding when to stop!! 

Thanks again!
Mel
