ONLINE: Painting With Gouache: Opaque Watercolor (Limited Offering) – New!
Adult Multi-Week | Registration opens 11/5/2025 9:00 AM EST
Paint alongside your instructor (virtually) and learn how to use gouache! Gouache is an opaque, flat, color medium with beautiful possibilities. We'll start with sketch book studies, move onto one-subject painting from observation, and then work through projects with a variety of subjects like still-lifes with fruits and vegetables, flowers and botanicals, interiors and furniture, and outdoor landscapes.
- Gouache is a water-soluble + safe medium to work with. Basic understanding of drawing and perspective is helpful for this class but not neccessary. If a student has experimented or has basic knowledge/skill with painting with watercolor, acrylic, oil, etc., it is helpful but not neccessary. Students with no experience are welcome to take the class. Other materials that work well with gouache: ink, color pencils, watercolor pencils, soft pastels, graphite, etc.
This class is held online through Zoom; learn more about how online classes work here
