making big paintings with gouache + neocolors 😋🎨

came across some big paper at the art store and bought it, because I thought it'd be fun to do some big traditional paintings in my ongoing quest to make looser art. and boy was I not disappointed! I really love traditional mediums, because despite my strongest desires to be clean and color within the lines, they resist my efforts and always perform in an unpredictable manner (paint brushes have a mind of their own i s2g). digital art allows so much capability for control that sometimes it's nice to limit my options and work with set tools. it's also been interesting working on a larger canvas as I'm usually shrimped over a tablet that is roughly the size of a foot. I've had to learn how to scale the drawing differently as I no longer have zoom or transform tools to use. I like the change-up, because it challenges me to work with a different thought process and come up with new ways to problem solve. the more I experiment with different mediums, the more I realize that there's something new to learn with each set of tools. it keeps things interesting! ^_^
