Gouache is a highly-demanded medium right now! It is the best of both worlds - it's got the ease and portability of watercolors and the opaque painting methods of acrylics and oils!
Ever seen a painting and said - "Man, I feel like I'm inside this painting"?
In this class, we'll be learning how to paint an evocative landscape; a beach-scape which will make us feel the warmth of the sun and the cool breeze.
We'll be learning -
- Overview of Gouache
- Color Mixing
- How to block and layer colors
- Highlights and shadows for contrasts
- Blowing life into the landscape with details
- What makes a painting evocative
It's fantastic class for both beginners and experienced artists. I will walk the beginners through the exact color mixes and techniques while the seasoned artist will be able to flex their creative muscles to paint an expressive landscape with abstraction.
You'll come out of this class with a landscape that will glow with the warmth of the sun.
