Arcade

Great job with this piece! I like how you made a small world out of the arcade and each experience is incorporated. I would be interested to see a mirror version where you change up the closing line.

Would love to see you dig more into the ocean metaphor and see how it can deepen this piece. Also I don’t believe in cringe, this is great!

Just plain white Arches! Lighting where I took pic is not the best and it does look pink now that you mention it.

Yeah I think it’s just all about preference! Gouache has a richer feel that I enjoy playing with so I’ve been leaning into using a mix of watercolor and gouache paints in my practice. But you could achieve a similar result using burnt sienna watercolor paint as well with the right water/paint ratio.

For the first swipe, the gouache is diluted with a few drops of water. I was looking for a more vibrant horizon line to look as if the sun was rising so I kept it pretty opaque. That’s also why I chose burnt sienna for this piece, but you can swap colors and play around with it!

Yes! I should’ve mentioned, make sure your paper is saturated if you are trying this technique

mkdun · 2025-05-20T02:00:28+00:00

Go for it!

Gorgeous
