    About This Series

    Gouache Landscapes is a series of "bite size" classes (all under an hour - Episode 1 is a bit shorter than usual) that each demonstrate a variety of techniques and strategies for getting the most out of gouache. There is no specific upload schedule, but my plan is to release them every 2-3 weeks.

    • Episode 2 - Autumn Forests
    • Episode 3 - Waterfall
    • Episode 4 - Beach
