Altenew Artists'Gouache Set - Erum Tasneem

I am new to gouache paints, so I had to struggle a bit. I am more of a loose watercolor kind of person. And this is more for people who like to stay "in control".

However, I enjoyed experimenting and playing around with the pigment and consistency. Trying to figure out how much water was the right amount of water. And I will tell you that it takes a few tries, just like everything :)
