​Combine Watercolour and Gouache - 3 ways!

Join me and learn how to combine watercolour and gouache to illustrate an opulent bohemian bungalow!

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. Join me for over an hour of jam-packed tuition with step by step instructions to help you complete the projects at your own pace. 

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!

About the teacher - Hannah Katarski

I love sharing my knowledge with others and have extensive experience in the Arts.
​I hold a Graduated Diploma (Education) as well as a Bachelor Arts Degree and really enjoy teaching!
The projects were simple, but all turned out really pretty, and I learned a lot about layering techniques. Simple concepts that had so far escaped me like being careful to move the "beading" so the edges don't dry and create uneven spots, were like thunderbolt moments. I am slightly further along than a beginner, but not quite intermediate yet, and this was perfect for me! - Erica
This class is well-planned, with each lesson clearly building on the skills from the previous ones - just like layers of watercolour! By following along, I'm learning how to create diluted and concentrated washes from light to dark, to build up layers of colour in a painting. Hannah Katarski is a talented teacher, and her work is simply joyous. I've gained so much inspiration from this class. Thank you!!!! - Lise
I enjoyed everything about this class! Awesome warm-up exercises, loads of colour, and super fun techniques! I can't wait to try them all! Great learning experience, wonderful teacher! Thank You!  - Becky
