Gouache Painting

Matte opaque coverage: every shape is an applied flat-to-soft block of paint that conceals what lies beneath, with no glossy highlights anywhere. Soft dry-brush edges, gently scumbled transitions and a chalky, slightly powdery finish. Palette is muted and chalky with a warm earthy core — terracotta, ochre, sage, dusty blue, cream — plus one fresh accent colour. Shading is a simple flat tonal block plus one soft half-tone step; volume is suggested, never modelled with gradients. Composition is illustrative and graphic with clear shape-design, generous flat areas and a decorative, poster-like balance. No lettering, captions, price text or poster typography.
