Materials List
Gouache is an overlooked watercolor medium that has amazing versatility and can transcend the boundaries of many other mediums. It can wash like watercolor, blend like an opaque oil, and dry brush like acrylic. Best of all it sidesteps the need to plan and reserve whites as in watercolor. It’s water soluble nature allows for tremendous travel capability and setup ease and clean up. Since it’s dry time is fast, as in watercolor, you can paint, mat, frame and hang in a day. This introduction to gouache will cover its many strengths, from reintroducing lights and delicious velvety matte finish, to intensely rich pigments and set up ease.
Materials must be supplied by participants. Materials list sent upon registration.
