Bugs in Gouaches #2

I really like trying new tools and mediums. Gouaches were the odd kids out on the field - kinda always in the background for Big and Artsy paints, like regal Oil or fiendishly demanding Watercolors. I liked them since they reminded me of Acrylics, which I used feverishly while painting miniatures. So I decided to pick'em up and try to paint some stuff. And hey, when it comes to trying a wild plethora of colors Bugs are a very good topic to pick up. Inspired by the old nature books with hand-drawn pictures of observed fauna and flora I found some sparkly real life bugs and rendered them in gouaches.
