I have been working a lot in gouache with a small portable cigar box setup.

Gouache is opaque watercolor.  I started using it because there are many places I want to paint on-location where I cannot bring my oils.

Since I have spent so much time at my daughter’s dance studio waiting, I started painting there.  I also love taking my sketchbook to the museums… you have to be careful with any water-media at the Met though, they don’t allow it although I got away with it several times….

The Museum of Natural History is very friendly to painters! They don’t care at all!
