After finally learning how to pronounce it, I created my first gouache painting. I started off covering the entire frog with green and then "pushed" the paint out from the shape to create the highlights and went back in with darker colors for the shadows. I actually think the tree branch looks especially good because the gouache dried in sort of a bark texture. I also like how the background turned out. I didn't do anything except leave the watered-down paint there after I pushed it out of the frog shape in the beginning, but it creates a kind of glow around the frog that draws your attention to it.
