A Gouache Landscape by Moran

American painter Thomas Moran (1837-1926) used gouache for many of his landscape paintings.

Typically he worked over a tan or cream colored paper. Because he covered most of the surface with darker or lighter washes, it's not always easy to see the paper through the paint.

Moran loved the convenience of watercolor and gouache for his field sketches. His primary intent wasn't to exhibit or sell them, but rather to use them for reference in his studio work. But as the 19th century progressed, watercolors became a popular medium for collectors too.

A pamphlet on watercolor painting from 1867 said that "for luminous qualities, for purity of tint and tone, for delicate gradation especially in skies and distance, their favorite style of painting has decided advantages over oil."
