I have 9 more such paintings on the topic, but every time I try to upload something in the "body" of the post, it fails with an error... so I just uploaded just this one. Enjoy!

I went to art school, used the medium. Its pronunciation is similar to the word "squash" except with a "goo" or "gwa" sound at the beginning. Sort of like "gooawsh" or "gwash".
OP, good work, gouache is one of the more difficult mediums out there as essentially it's opaque watercolor. Gouache is a very unforgiving medium, as it's very easy to end up with a washed out mess the more you try to fix mistakes.
But there's a reason old masters used gouache as it refined their technique and forced them to think carefully. They generally used it to sketch and prepare studies for an oil painting.
