Working with Gouache & Colored Pencils: Let's Draw Some Homes!

Let's draw some homes together! In this first class of a series on the most wonderful combinations of art materials (I use it a lot for urban sketching): gouache and colored pencils, we will sketch three very sweet, bright, and beautiful Amsterdam canal houses. This class is about the basics of gouache paint and colored pencils. It's perfect for beginners and fun for more experienced artists who love to draw architecture and want to learn new techniques. I've made this class longer than most of my previous classes to explain and comment on my drawing process as well as possible. In the following classes, we will go more in-depth and build up your drawing skill and your knowledge about the materials.

In this class, you will learn:

• What are the best materials to use;
• How to use gouache and how to make brush strokes;
• How to mix gouache colors; and
• How to apply colored pencils to create engaging and beautiful drawings.

I hope all your questions will be cleared up in the videos, but if you don't understand something, need any help with your sketches, or have suggestions/feedback, please don't hesitate to ask me anything on the Community page.  

♥ Looking forward to seeing your beautiful artworks in the Project Gallery! ♥

Enjoy and have fun!
