The Three Amigos (Photo Study)

I did another photo study using watercolour and gouache. This time I painted in A3 so it allows me to include more small details, so the scale of everything can look nicer, but it's kinda boring to do all the details with different colour because I'll have to re-mix that tiny portion, unlike doing black and white. Please give some thoughts on this! :D My large scanner doesn't really have a good colour reproduction, I adjusted in GIMP to try to make it look as close as what I see on paper....

Very nice! I’ve got to pick up gauche and watercolor at some point. Still have never really tried it. Mostly just acrylic.

I'd like to try some acrylic actually, but I don't want to have my paints to dry on the palette, I kinda want to re-wet them. I need to get comfortable with it. Gouache is fun! You should try some :D

That's great, your limited color panel for the landscape and foreground turned really well. Very nice brush stroke economy too !

Thank you! The "few brush strokes" are actually because I'm lazy XD

Looks really great! Love the loose strokes and large shapes. Very readable and that yellow bus pops a lot against the purple background

Very nice! Really like your color choices versus the reference.

Thank you! It's actually rather hard to mix a good "soil" colour like the reference... So I went with a bit purple there. :D
