Windblown Purple Parrot Tulip

4x3.5 gouache on Saunders 140 lb cold press paper sketched from life today and painted with Turner gouache.  It does resemble watercolor but is a bit more opaque and I've thinned it a lot.  I used a red and white silk faux tulip to sketch this but had no reference for the purple hues that were mixed reds and pinks with 2-3 blue shades.
