Halfway through, I paint over the whole thing with a glaze to reduce detail. The glaze is risky because gouache reactivates when it's rewet, and to be honest, it's kind of a disaster for a while. > > Here are some takeaway quotes about the theory of sacrifices: > > “Nature instills sentiments in the spectator through the selective sacrifice of details in order to improve the overall effect.” > --_The Theory and Practice of Water Colour Painting: Elucidated in a Series of Letters_ > > “Painters without experience often weaken the effect they wish to produce by a prodigality which multiplies uselessly the figures and accessories of a picture. It will not be long before they learn that, the greater the conciseness and simplicity with which a thought is interpreted, the more it gains in expressive force.” > —Jules Breton, _[The Life of an Artist: An Autobiography,](https://ia902605.us.archive.org/28/items/lifeofartistauto00bretrich/lifeofartistauto00bretrich.pdf)_ 1890 :::

More of my art at the open source, federated site https://pixelfed.social/EugeniaLoli (only about 1/3 of it is gouache).
This used mostly a payne's gray, raw umber (the "yellow" you see is actually raw umber), and burnt sienna. The clouds were done with M.Graham's Terra Rosa watercolor. For more of my art you can follow me at PixelFed (I only post a few on Lemmy): https://pixelfed.social/EugeniaLoli
I painted this using Holbein gouache with only 4 colors: titanium white, yellow ochre, Chinese orange, and primary black. I paint with both gouache and watercolors, so to see the rest of my artworks you can check my PixelFed page: https://pixelfed.social/EugeniaLoli
