Would be interesting to see it side-by-side with a photo of the subject area. I’d really like to see a larger image of your painting, too.

Gouache paints are much more opaque (can be almost totally opaque) than watercolor. Their only drawback is that you cannot layer too much goache on top of itself, or the thick areas will crack as tempera would. I find a combination of watercolor and gouache to be a nice combo, but I've never done any oil painting.
