In this course, students will learn how to use gouache paint by painting various subjects from observation and then eventually move on to Plein air painting. The class will start off with a one-subject painting from observation. Subject matter will shift from objects to fruits/vegetables, flowers/botanical, interiors/furniture, trees, water/boats, etc. to eventually painting in Plein air.

  • 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.

Cohen, Dorian

Dorian Cohen graduated from VCU where he studied in the Communication Arts department, concentrating on Illustration. After graduation, he went on to gain more knowledge and tutelage from the Illustration Academy, where he learned a multitude of techniques and mediums, from well renowned illustrators. Dorian uses many techniques in his illustration, and does not stick to one medium. He employs the use of digital mediums, such as Photoshop and Procreate, but his love for traditional medium trumps all. He uses pen and ink, oil, acrylic, gouache and printmaking, especially, block printing.
