Dot is a curious feline who digs in places I would not go. I pawclaim this because Dot pawsented today’s artist to Jerry Underfoot & myself & we wanted to make that pawsitively clear to you. Hi, CEO Olivia here. I won’t nibble words, I pawsonally find these goucache paintings wooftastically painted but they are somewhat dogsturbing. The technique used, gouache, is created by using water-medium paint consisting of natural pigment, water, a binding agent, & sometimes additional inert material . Gouache is opaque where as watercolors allow us to see what is underneath the paint; gouache does not. Gouache has a pawtacular history having been around for the at least 12 centuries.
Enough yipping about paint let’s get on to yapping about the wagnificent American illustrator & artist Bill Mayer. Bill Mayer not only works in a variety of media & combinations of media, gouache, oil, airbrush, scratchboard, pen & ink & digital, he also uses a variety of pawtastic artistic styles.
Let’s stop yapping & start looking at what Dot dug up for us.
Want to sniff out more of Bill Mayer’s pawtacular work on his website, Instagram or Facebook?
Remember to be gnawsome, be kind & stay safe.
CEO Olivia, with Dot & Jerry Underfoot 🐾💜🐾
