New online class - Combining gouache and watercolour 3 ways!

28/5/2019

0 Comments

 
Join me and learn how to combine watercolour and gouache to illustrate an opulent bohemian bungalow!
​You can watch it for free with this link.
​

Gouache is a versatile, water-based medium that has enjoyed a recent resurgence in popularity. It has a lovely opaque, velvety quality and is perfect for augmenting your watercolour paintings.

​I created this class because I used to find gouache kind of mysterious. I loved the look it produced, but what was it? And how do you use it? Plus, I had heaps of watercolours, so I didn’t want to go out and buy a whole new range of paints…

So I came up with 3 techniques that will give you the confidence to paint with gouache AND seamlessly combine gouache and watercolour in your artwork!

This class is for beginner painters through to experienced watercolourists who are new to gouache and want to expand their portfolio. You will add a range of techniques to your quiver and learn to plan your painting with confidence!

You’ll start to look at your paints in a whole new way!
I’ll teach you a range of techniques before we embark on our final project where we put it all together!
The lessons will cover:
  • The similarities and differences between watercolour and gouache.
  • 3 ways to combine them to create harmonious compositions
  • How to mix brand new opaque colours using watercolours.
  • Layering paints to create pattern and texture
  • Building a colour scheme
  • How to use reference images to paint your own bohemian bungalow!
Head over to Skillshare with my link and you can enjoy free access to my class plus thousands of others for two months.
