Dawn broke over the bushland in the shadow of Mount Morgan as we passed through. The fog was heavy and brought a magical glow to the empty valley. I couldn't wait to paint the scene when I returned home. . . . #gouache #gouachepainting #artaccount #australianlandscape #blackartist #ruralaustralia

Really enjoying these new gouache paints. It took a while to justify buying Holbiens but I could not be happier with their vibrancy!
