This project is helping me return to a medium I adore: painting. We often overlook the impact of painting on our health and the environment; it is such a minuscule part of human activity. I chose gouache as a medium that requires no toxic materials in its use and requires fewer noxious materials in its production compared to, for example, oil paint.
