Looks like a boarding school boy with his dorm room key and all his papers.
...
Just my opinion!

The movement is really good in this. I like the sense of the immediate.

What type of paper/board do you paint on? I thoroughly enjoy all of your gouache paintings and have started into the medium myself.

Hi.

The paper is Mi-Teintes, of Canson. There are a lot of colours of it, usually I use:

ref/name
122 gris fanelle
374 terre de sienne
384 saumon
502 havane clair
I like this paper because I can work with gouache, acrylics, dry medium...etc. ItΒ΄s fantastic

Take a moment an see the cansonΒ΄s web: [link]

Cool... I love the soft colours and shapes you use, especially in the shadows. It's subtle, and sensitive, and it really shows off your talent.
