Painting - Gouache Resist
Description
Tulip Love 🌷💖 my newest painting. I decided to just play this week and try a new technique I’ve never tried. It’s called gouache resist.
I painted a gouache painting on watercolor paper as normal. Then I waited for it to dry overnight.
Now comes the crazy and scary part: I then completely covered my painting with black India ink. Yikes! 😱 Then I had to let that dry overnight.
The next day, I ran the whole thing under water which removed most, but not all of the India ink.
This is where the magic happens! Where the paper was left unpainted or the gouache was a bit thin, the India ink adheres to the paper, giving it this unusual result, a bit like woodcut or linocut art, but way easier on the hands. 😆
I’m not a patient painter, but this technique with its two overnight drying requirements is forcing me to be patient. 😍
