Gouache rocks! Depending on how much water you use, it takes on a texture like acrylics or watercolour.
The top one is Jake's painting. I love that it looks like a bird-breathing dragon. The bottom one is mine. Both were happy accidents, just playing with the paint with no end result in mind. I used to think I didn't like painting, because I was so focussed on not being able to do it well. Sod that! I enjoy it so much when Jake and I are just playing. Long may that continue.

Wow I love Jake's painting! He's definitely taking after his Mummy with his artistic talents there ;)
Yes, we bought some paint to play with through half-term. I can't particularly draw or paint, but I've got to the stage where I can do it for fun. But the boy (elder variety) has hit that point whereupon he has decided he can't paint well enough, so he gave up. It is a pity because he can paint, but maybe its a phase he has to go through.
Loved Jake's picture, and yours too, of course! Looks like you both had fun xx
