A rare opportunity to participate in a dedicated course using this superb paint medium!
Gouache is a wonderfully adaptable, water-soluble, opaque paint which can be applied thinly like watercolour, but can also be used more thickly to cover previous layers. Perfectly mixable with watercolours. There will be a mixture of outdoor and studio work and the course is for people of all abilities.
No experience of working with gouache is necessary, although some knowledge of painting in water-based media is an advantage. If you’ve never tried gouache, now is the time! We will find our reference outside and work on site wherever possible. We can develop sketches and ideas in the studio as well as work from people’s tablets and photographs. There will be step-by-step demonstrations throughout as well as particular focus on matching colours to those we see in nature, with lots of opportunity to experiment.
