When in doubt . . .

When in doubt about everything, which seems to be the norm lately, all I can do is go back to just sitting at my kitchen table and drawing. I haven't worn myself out on the figures yet but I do feel the urge to get the transparent watercolors out and do some still lifes. I've had some artists ask me what is gouache? It is an opaque watercolor. Gouache will dry darker than what you put down unlike transparent watercolor which will dry lighter. And like transparent watercolor you have to be pretty sure of what you put down. There is little or no room for going over it!

And if you are interested in purchasing any of these drawings you may contact me at

peggi@krollroberts.com or Facebook.

Thank you!

Back to the drawing.

I just finished teaching a workshop out of my studio. We have all been sick with colds and now on the tail end. So I have a minute to offer some new gouache drawings. Can I get as much living gesture with as little line as possible. I keep working at it. It leaves so much room for the viewer to participate.

I know I don't enjoy being told the "entire story" pictorially that is. I do though love all the seedy details in those Vanity Fair Magazine articles.
