  • People say this looks like the Call of Duty map Terminal MW2, but it's just a real scene that I painted at the San Francisco airport. I got my little tubes of watercolor and gouache past security and the hour flew by before boarding. Luckily they called my group late.

      Unless I have a large carry-on or am flying Southwest, I don't really care when I board, the less time I stuck in a crowded seat, the better. I've never really gotten the appeal to boarding first. I like being able to charge my phone and use the restroom in those few extra minutes.

    One of the key takeaways I had in artschool, your scene observation skills must always be better than your illustration skills. As if you can't observe how the ratios, colour values and overall expression makes a scene. You won't be able to replicate it, nor make it unique.
    Awesome gouache introduction, you covered it exceptionally well.

      @@blackcat-mp7kh Gouache is uhhh... more opaque than watercolor... but they're pretty much the same. You can paint using watercolor techniques (glazing, edge pulling, etc...) with gouache paint... and you can also use gouache as acrylic paint, and it's actually better because unlike acrylics, gouache takes a little longer to dry, which allows you to mix color more freely...
