~ She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child but she's always a woman to me ~

This series of Gouache illustrations began as a way for me to explore a new medium. It was not supposed to translate into a series of illustrations rather just a few rough tries for me to traverse the unknown terrain of Gouache.

For the longest time this set of colour was sitting around idly and I finally decided to try out the consistency and the nature of the medium which translated beautifully on paper.

It has been a beautiful surprise for me, hope this brightens up your day too.

Gouache

I decided to focus on the female form without revealing them in their entirety and keeping their mystery intact. I played around with colour and texture to express their various moods.
