Media: Gouache on panel.
Size: 8x10 in
Gouache on Strathmore toned tan paper (vellum surface) attached to 8x10 inch panel. (After Zorn’s 1894 “In My Gondola.”) My gouache paintings are quite special as they are 100% archival after a three step varnishing process. (Credit and huge thanks go to artist Lena Rivo for helping me with this process). What does this mean exactly? Well, you can frame them without glass (just like an oil painting) and they can be cleaned if they ever need to be. This is pretty neat for a gouache painting, as they usually need to be protected behind glass. I’m very happy to have this as an option for these paintings. Bonus: They still retain the beauty of matte, velvety gouache even after being varnished. They are beautiful! I love this medium and this new process. There will be many more.
