Description: I paint a gouache portrait of Smooth and talk about making changes and fixing mistakes in gouache. I start wild and loose, skipping a preliminary drawing and drawing the main lines with a brush. There's a big change halfway through, as I decide to put him in a standing pose instead of a sitting pose. The painting remains for a while in a chaotic, fluid state until, little by little, with small corrections and changes, it starts to look more like the model.
