Unfinished or not, this has a raw feel, an intensity that is palpable. Maybe it's his expression. I love the look of it.

Looks like you got the hang of it! I'm still trying to learn how to use gouache myself.

it's a great paint. really.
quick and easy once you get the hang of it. i am always torn between gouache and acrylic.
water based mediums are my favorite although the only traing i got formally was in oils.
oils are fun too but are messy and smelly.

This looks really nice even though it seems a bit unfinished. I like gouache colours as well but I always miss the translucent shine of the oils.
