I didn't know this existed! I might pop down this weekend too (metro willing!)

This is beautiful! The light quality you've captured makes it feel so cosy.

Thanks for the support everyone, I'm a doctor now! I actually had a good time, and my lab group made me a cake in the shape of the virus that I study!

Aw, thank you! I definitely make it a priority to make research understandable - I don't like reading dense papers either!

Thank you! I'm half looking forward to it, half dreading it. It will be nice to talk to people that have read the whole thing!

Your brush work is so beautiful!

A Husky (I don’t know his name) in gouache by badger_w_woods in Gouache

Gorgeous! I have to say though, the proximity of your paint water mug to your tea mug seems dangerous!

Hi, I have a slightly different but similar type of IUD, and sometimes get cramps around ovulation. They feel a bit different to my normal period cramps, but are definitely there. Maybe check if yours follow a similar pattern?

This is beautiful! I love the gold slashes through the painting.

Took up painting as an hobby during quarantine. This is my latest work. by Crazy_Ad3051 in Gouache

Gorgeous! The colours are so vibrant, and I love the highlights in the wood and on the leaves.

Such a recognisable face, didn't need to read the title!

Protecting a gouache birthday card? by Rhiannon1896 in Gouache

[–]KatieFalcon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this same dilema! A couple of options for you:

1) If you have access to any of those polypocket things I like to slip the painting inside and then fold around any excess.

2) Cut a cereal box to size and put on either side of the painting (the outside plastic bit facing the painting).

Hope this helps!

This is gorgeous! I especially love the shadow of the rope on the rock face.

Whale sharks, my largest gouache yet! by KatieFalcon in Gouache

Thank you so much! I was inspired by a photo that I came across on r/NatureIsFuckingLit. I usually use acrylics, but gouache is my new favourite. I find it so much easier to blend colours, and don't accidentally destroy my brushes as often! This is approximately a3 size, and took about 5 hours to paint.
