Painting an Airliner in Gouache—an hour before boarding

That's the title on YouTube. How gauche.

Step 1: dress like a boy.
Step 2: give the TSA guy $20 to let you sit there and paint

Gouache: Opaque pigments similar to watercolor in that it can be re-wetted. (Watercolors are transparent.)

He speaks too slowly for me. I watched this video impatiently, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, done. Maybe you can do better with it than I did. I admit that I'm impressed with the result.

Prussian blue. That's wild. Cause it's a real strange blue, not like mainstream French Ultramarine. And then no genuine yellow, yellow ochre instead. But it works and that's all that counts.
