The students in the Root to Roof independent study have done phenomenal work during their time at the Illinois School of Architecture. They milled, dimensioned, and prepped all the ash, cypress, and honey locust used in this build. All of this wood was going to the mulch pile until we made something better with it. Congrats on the wonderful structure and finishing Grad school with a bang! @nickofferman and @offermanwoodshop inspired us with their beautiful gift to Japan house. #roottoroof #makesomethinggreat @archatillinois @kayraypay @paul.kitchen @atzehr @maddie.kodros @csmrokowski Special thanks to our amazing helpers @alee_gbs @lnstinson @brberg4 and to @hiattwoodworking for helping us move the structure into position.

First up, Gouache! Overall, Arteza, give em a 10 for pretty packaging. I mean, look! These tubes are like Siren! . . . Here's the swatches 😁 . . . The Good: (in brief) -smooth -vibrant colors -pigment spreads easily -mostly opaque enough (see black sections) -lots of options for your $ The Bad: -no open stock (Just get another set, they cost like one meal combo) - The pigments are mostly a single pigment per hue, then mixed with combos to make up colors you may be used to. I.e. "cerulean" is pw6, pg7, pb15; could be bad for color mixing, but great for adding highlights on watercolor with ease 😉 . . . I normally add m.graham gouache to my watercolors. Is this similar, yes... in touch, texture, sight Is it the same in how it's made, etc, no. Does it matter? That's up to you to decide. . . . Would I squish a whole tube out, use it up without guilt and create whatever I want? . Hell yes! . Why? . Because it's great stuff at a great price, thats,Why! . So, instead of saving a precious tube, using it sparingly, wondering if my paintings worthy or not, I'd easily use it up, experiment with it, try new techniques, dare I say, waste a little... And I believe that's the point. Isn't it? . . . #artezareview #arteza #artezagouache #goucheset #gouache #makesomethinggreat #discoveringnewthings #makesmehappy #fueledbydiscovery #drivenbycuriosity #aliciadrhankins #hawaiiartist #artistinhawaii #whatif #abstractbeginnings
