About this course:

Gouache is an opaque, water-soluble medium like watercolor, but has a look of oil painting. Unlike oil painting, it is very versatile and convenient to paint with. In this course, we learn to paint from still-life, photo and/or plain-air, focusing on value study and shapes. Other exercises include quick, small daily painting to build one’s habit to become a better artist. Materials: Windsor & Newton Designers gouache primary color 6-tube paint set, one gouache permanent white paint., container for paint, palette, flat brush size 1” or ¾” and round brush size 12, a cold press watercolor block, a cup for water, making tape, dry cloth, spray bottle. Details regarding these items will be sent to students one week before class begins.
