Gouache Motherload!

Was wanting to play with gouache for a bit. But couldn't commit to buying dozens of tubes.
Also didn't know if I'd prefer using watercolor. And I personally don't really love the idea of making works on paper(bristol board, vellum, or illustration board), it's just that art on Canvas or wood panel is just so permanent/archival in comparison. And watercolor paper is so lumpy and not smooth.

And I want my work to last forever. So I just stuck to acrylic and oil painting on canvas or wood panel.
But destiny stepped in.... and next thing you know.....
Ridiculous So Cal swap meet find. Retail $7-15 a tube. Acryla is Made in Japan.
I got the whole lot for 25 bucks. Love me some flea market blowouts!!!
