Hi, I’m Ruth!
I stumbled upon gouache a few years ago, completely by accident, and
it has changed my life.
Before settling with gouache I experimented with a few different mediums including charcoal, oil and watercolor, but I never really found my groove.
I bought a few tubes of gouache on a whim after becoming incredibly frustrated with the limitations of watercolor; and trying them out for the first time was like Cinderella getting her glass slipper back:
It was the perfect fit.
Discovering my love for gouache really allowed me to explore my creativity, and for the first time in a long time my inspiration bucket was full of things I wanted to try and new ideas I wanted to explore.
I still feel like this every time I sit down to paint, 4 years later.
Unlike the more popular mediums, there's not a huge amount of information about working with gouache, and after my own creative transformation I knew that I wanted to share the potential of this quirky medium with as many people as possible.
I want you to discover your creative glass slipper!
