In my search for another painting medium, to use along with watercolor and oil, I've decided to experiment with gouache -- an opaque form of watercolor.

This is my first painting using gouache in a serigraphic style. On the northern rim of the Helena Valley we have a unique mountain formation that we call "The Sleeping Giant". This is one of those geographic features that provides a sense of place.

I enjoyed layering the gouache, much like is done with oil paints; and I loved the fact that gouache has a minimal drying time in comparison to oils.  Oils can take days to dry before any layering can be done.
