Bio:
Gouache was a widely used medium among artists in the early 20th century, employed both for independent works and as studies. The technique combines the lightness of watercolour with a more opaque colour effect, making it particularly suitable for atmospheric landscapes and compositions with soft transitions and muted tonal ranges.
