THE CLIFF

oil on Yupo, 6x8
in, 15x20cm
I painted this one yesterday, after Henri Edmond Cross, with his pointillist manner.
Yupo paper is quite new for me.
  I read about it last year. Apparently, it was an odd support: you could mix  water and dishwashing  liquid and get nice effects in  watercolour;
so, I bought it for gouache,but was not pleased with the result. I suppose I am not fond of impredicable things
This month, I tried again with oils, deciding to cover the surface with a layer of black acrylic,let it drying, and then paint.
it gives a smooth surface, easy to work with.; I will use it now, starting with small pieces (1/2 sheet, e.i. 6x7in).

Gouache

Here is my attempt for this month. I was not very inspired, the view is so perfect...

HOW MANY CALORIES?

gouache 8x12

It is a "quatre quarts" cake, which have to get, for the beginning, the same weight of eggs, flour, butter, sugar.
