I have recently discovered a new painting media that I am really enjoying: gouache and casein tempera. I find it a lot more portable than my oil paints, but it handles in a similar opaque way. I can fit tubes of paint and my sketchbook in a small daypack and go somewhere remote to do some painting without having to heave the french easel and oil stuff around. Here are some recent paintings up Rattlesnake Canyon…

Terrific, I like it, makes me want to go to Rattlesnake Canyon, hug a rattlesnake.
I saw a baby one on the trail that morning… didn’t hug it, though.
