An interior scene is an unusual yet fitting final sketch for our two weeks in San Pancho. On our first day here, my sister-in-law received a stunning birthday bouquet from our cousin. It captured my eye the entire time we stayed together because of its shape and colors. Although I intended to paint it, I kept deferring, as so many other scenes caught my attention.
I finally painted it using a composition I am experimenting with- a still-life in the foreground with a figure in the distance.
Deliberate Sketching

I have recently started following you, what is this medium. I go from oil, to acrylic, then sometimes think gouache.

Hi Terry, it is gouache on black watercolor paper. I apply it transparently and thickly- transparently so that the paper shows through and creates muted color, and straight out of the tube so the colors are bright. When I travel I take it along in a 24-pan palette with extra white, at home I use it out of the tube.
Thank you for following my posts.

Over the years I tried gouache many times, acrylic on canvas was my first medium so gouache for sketching made sense, yet it just never seemed to work well. However it sure works for you, thanks.
