"Art is the perpetual motion of illusion. The highest purpose of art is to inspire. What else can you do? What else can you do for anyone but to inspire them?" -Bob Dylan

I just love the view points and perspectives Bob Dylan chooses when drawing interior and exterior scenes. It figures he would be good at art too! Some people have so many gifts!

Gouache

Also called body color, is watercolor which is opaque. This opacity is achieved by the addition of white paint or pigment (such as Chinese white). Gouache was used in manuscript illumination and early watercolors (for example by Albrecht Durer). It was also employed by miniature painters in the 17th and 18th centuries. Many of the watercolors of Paul Sandby (1731-1809), generally credited as the founder of the English watercolor school, were in gouache. (Michael Clarke)
