Gouache; It's a love hate thing!

I thought I'd try my hand at painting so I bought some gouache and a few cheap brushes and took a photo of my dad. After a few attempts (four actually) this is the result. I know it's not brilliant but I've never used gouache before and I'm still not even sure if I'm spelling it right!

 I'll most definitely keep painting with gouache; as they say practice makes perfect, and maybe next time I'll try it with colour! lol
