        Love to see artist copies like this! This is where the learning really ramps up! We've had this sort of thing beaten out of us since grade school and I struggle to get my students to understand that it's not only essential - it's OK!

          Wow! It looks really good! I will have to look at the link you sent. I also want to learn about gouache as I have never used it. I have done acrylic and water color mainly.

            Thanks for the support everyone. @Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen Gouache is a versatile painting medium but can be frustrating at times because of its versatility. It can work like acrylic but it can also wash well like watercolor. I find that I tend to push and pull a lot with the paint. The original was done in oil, so there were some qualities that I struggled to reproduce, but overall I was happy with the results.

                    well done! Beautiful. A tip when your working on the digital version, try a green that fits the yellow more, like a green in the yellow section, rather than in the blue section it gives it more harmonySchermafbeelding 2015-11-24 om 09.51.53.png

                        @Leontine Thanks! Yeah the highlights on the tree ended up a little too minty for me as well.
