Description
My gouache and ink painting of Ann Ranlett. She was in costume at the annual Steampunk Victorian Holiday Faire at the High Hand Gallery in Rocklin, California. I thought it would be interesting to see if I can make a watercolor painting look like scratchboard. I started with black paper. Discovered most watercolor paints disappears on black paper so I had to find a different way to make it work, and the clock was ticking. I decided to try this never used cheap gouache set that has been sitting the shelf for years. This was my first experiment in painting in gouache as I tried to figure it out as I went along. The background white ink marks simulates Ann’s use of scratch marks on a scratchboard. If you see her actual work, it’s impressive.
