Gouache

This is the first time trying gouache. The background is wet on wet for the plants, dry brush for the water, and pen and ink for the legs.  Paper is 140 pounds Arches off white paper.  This is a sketch from my journal on my trip to Las Vegas.  I did a pencil sketch their and painted yesterday at home. The stork is made up of flowers on metal legs. His body turned out darker than I wanted, but for my first time with gouache I think it turned out well.
