Coloured Pencil seems like a medium anyone should be able to master quite easily. It is – aside from crayons – most probably one of the first mediums you were introduced to as a child. It’s simple right – buy a set of 120 colours (how many can one possibly need anyway), get a good quality paper and TADA! You are all set to be a coloured pencil genius.
There is something vaguely nostalgic about painting with gouache. I could not quite explain it until I realised that I had painted with gouache before as a child. The powder paint I used to use as a child was a type of gouache and is still available today. But the name is about all that is the same when compared to the paint I am using now. They are still paints in much the same way as a Trabant and an Aston Martin are still cars. In every other respect, they are entirely different.
