    Explore the versatile world of gouache, a water-based, opaque, and pigment-rich medium. With its ability to layer light over dark, gouache combines the flexibility of acrylics and oils with the transparency of watercolors. This course can serve both as an introduction to essential techniques (including material exploration, color mixing, and effective paint handling), and for more experienced painters in gouache, it will  allow exploration and refinement in a supportive environment.  Each class includes demonstrations and ample painting time. Additionally, we’ll cover best practices for storing and framing gouache paintings. Join us for this five-week journey into the expressive realm of gouache.

    Materials:

    Sketching supplies such as pencil and sketch pad or journal

    Water media brushes (a few flats and a round to start)

    Water media paper 

    Water media palette such as Mastersons stay-wet Handi Palette or any watercolor palette

    Gouache – I recommend M Graham  or Holbein gouache or another tubed gouache. To start, you can use a limited palette and add colors as needed. Essentials are:

    Azo Yellow

    Napthol Red

    Ultramarine Blue

    Titanium White.

    Note: I don’t use Acrylic Gouache because it is too similar to acrylic paints, and what I like about the traditional gouache is that you can reconstitute it.  If you have acrylic gouache, you will have a little different experience than what I am teaching.

    Also you might want:

    • Latex gloves (optional)
    • Apron/smock
    • Value strips
    • Sponge
    • Artists Tape
    • Dedicated palette knife
    • Water carrier
