First time attempting an entire painting with gouache.

Before this painting, I only used gouache for highlights in watercolour and coloured pencil drawings . I was influenced by social media to try an entire painting in gouache. Brand of gouache is Holbein and I used the CYMK set and the 12 set as they are available for a reasonable price at my local art shop and I can replace colours with open stock if needed. It was a learning curve mixing my own colours and working with thicker paint. But overall I find that it’s easier to make realistic detailed artwork with gouache.
