Gouache Workshop 1W26
Age Group:
Adults
Experience painting with the medium of gouache (opaque watercolor). Working from observation, we'll go through the process of playing with composition and paint with beautiful color.
We will set up a still life, determine composition through thumbnail sketches, and paint with this versatile medium on stable panels that allow for painting with multiple layers. Students will leave with a small gouache painting on an Aquabord panel.
*This workshop does not have a make up date.
