I've been looking for a medium that could combine oil, watercolor and acrylic all these years and I think I've just found it thanks to @mattlumpkin When I first saw his gouache sketches at Mt-Wilson, I realized that I could paint very fast dry opaque texture yet easily correctable with all the advantages of oil but could be glazed with washes like watercolor. Today I tried all these wonderful attributes of gouache here and it seemed to deliver just exactly what I thought.
