Now I know why I have kept this little piece of paper for years

Years ago, I bought a pack of square papers with 60's patterns on them. I never did anything with them. I just liked the shapes and colours. More recently, I culled the stash, but for some reason, I kept this one. I'm so glad I did, as it was my inspiration for gouache patterns when I had some leftover paints. It's a great way to practise mixing colours in gouache, working with a limited palette, and learning how to get the right texture - just enough water, not too much, not too little.
