“Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
Speckles
2.5″ x 3.5″ Watercolor and Gouache ATC
I painted this little dude on Art Spectrum Colourfix paper, which is usually used for pastels. I use my gouache kinda thick and it feels wonderful on the paper. It takes more coats to obtain the opaqueness on the dark paper, and I mix watercolor pigment in with the gouache for the colors I want. It’s fun!
Have a great weekend!
About Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson helped spark the transcendentalist movement with the essay Nature, which described his belief in the spiritual essence of humanity and the natural world. He was born in Boston in 1803. He was a Unitarian minister until he resigned in 1832 to become a philosopher and writer. He suffered the untimely deaths of many of his loved ones: three brothers, his first wife at age 20, and his eldest son at age five. Emerson died in 1882.
