Gouache = God

Today I made a start on thinking through some of the swimming pool ideas in my sketchbook, and chose to start by using gouache which is something that I've really not used much before. I just did some simple ideas of what I imaged Nakamats must feel like when he's diving for ideas, also I really like the phrasing of that:

"Diving for ideas"

It sounds really ridiculous but that essentially the way he chooses to brainstorm his inventions. Like he's diving for treasure. Anyway the ideas I have so far are really simple but I've been trying to think more about composition and I think its paying off, the two ideas I've had so far are quite pleasing to look at. Also I had no idea how fun working with gouache was, I need to do it more often, I think I'm going to try to simplify the shapes I've used today tomorrow with paper cut but in future I'll be making an effort to go back to gouache.
