El Arco Iris 🌈 is closing down soon, and @jesseangelgomez wrote a touching tribute on his Instagram about his grandparents, Gustavo and Irene Montes, who opened this restaurant over 50 years ago in Highland Park. I wanted to paint it before it's not there anymore. I started to use the @shinhanart Pass hybrid gouache and watercolor for the last 2 paintings, so far I like how transparent they can be, as well as beautifully opaque like a gouache. 15"X20" gouache. This painting will be part of my show at @civilcoffee opening April 8th. #elarcoiris #highlandpark #nela #northeastla #90042 #painting #gouache #pleinair #shinhanpass #yorkblvd #mexicanfood (at El Arco Iris)
