Looks lovely, definitely fits the gloomy-weather morning commute feeling! You have a great eye for atmospheric detail. Keep up the great work! :)
If you’re struggling with gouache specifically because of its water solubility, Holbein makes acrylic based gouache (lovingly named acryla-gouache) theatre a great stepping stone into gouache ig acrylics are something you feel more comfortable with. Once they dry, the colors won’t lift!
Alternatively, a cheaper option while you learn is to try using a fixative to seal the layers of regular gouache; it definitely might help you get more comfortable with the medium, too!
