Gouache is suddenly hip, as many painters discover the elegance, utility, and rewards of working in this opaque watercolor medium. Unlike regular watercolor, you can paint in opaque layers with gouache, which allows you to fix mistakes and build up textured surfaces. I’ve painted in gouache professionally for 45 years and would love to share my knowledge and techniques of working in this wonderfully vibrant medium. Using demonstrations and paint-alongs, I’ll show you how to start and develop a painting, mix color, create hard and soft edges, glaze, use drybrush, and layer and reactivate paint. We’ll use online discussions and critiques to build on foundational concepts of value, design and color while creating loose, exciting gouache paintings. But be forewarned, you might fall in love with gouache!
