Tiger - painted in gouache.
I’ve been wanting to try out gouache for a while, this is my first experiment with it
thanks to Sue Tilleray for the ref photo.
I've always appreciated the images taken from drones, showing the meandering rivers and streams crossing the land below. Knowing that yours truly is more of a macro photographer, imagine my delight when I saw the same sort of image pop up inside my house. While painting, I was mixing watercolor with gouache in my large enamel tray. Suddenly the colors were moving into each other, replicating the same sort of image taken from a drone. The rest is digital history!

Using watercolors and gouache allows me to visit new and unusual places without packing a suitcase.

The ruins of one of Ottawa-Gatineau's earliest hydro-electrical dams can be seen from a bike path which follows the Ottawa River at the Deschênes Rapids. This dam was built in 1895 and fell in disrepair in the 1940s. The ruins lie in the middle of strong rapids and have been the subject of some controversy recently - the provincial government planned to remove the ruins but local residents petitioned the government to preserve the ruins as an historical site. My sketch was composed from reference photos that I recently took.
Les ruines d'un des premiers barrages hydroélectriques d'Ottawa-Gatineau sont visibles d'une piste cyclable qui longe la rivière des Outaouais aux rapides Deschênes. Ce barrage a été construit en 1895 et est tombé en ruine dans les années 1940. Les ruines se trouvent au milieu de forts rapides et ont fait l'objet d'une controverse récemment - le gouvernement provincial prévoyait d'enlever les ruines, mais les résidents locaux ont demandé au gouvernement de préserver les ruines en tant que site historique. Mon croquis a été composé à partir de photos de référence que j'ai prises récemment.
