Hi everyone,
I saw this beautiful and unusual cloud formation and had to take a picture. If anyone knows what these clouds are called, please let me know in the comments.
Goldenrod and wild grape vines as a backdrop.
Still blooming outside: Mum, Shamrock, and Hibiscus.
Since it seems to be a popular medium these days, I thought I'd try out Jelly gouache. I do have a few tubes of other brands but I haven't really tried them yet.
To me, gouache seems rather thick and, of course, unlike watercolours it's an opaque medium. I love these colours.
The brown gouache covered well on black paper. As you can see, the orange gouache didn't cover well on black paper.

I have named it My Little Flower Sketchbook; the first and last page I will book end with a sketch of old houses from the town that I am from in Nova Scotia. I've been posting a few of the flower sketches over on Instagram and I will post some here at another time.
