This three-week online workshop is designed to help painters learn the secrets on how to use gouache effectively for landscape painting (hint: it's about layers). If you're frustrated with tricky value shifts as gouache dries, or if you're ending up with chalky or muddy paintings, not to worry! Whether you're looking to use gouache in the studio or out in the field en plein air, this class will help you master the power of this versatile medium. Mixing and managing paint layers with confidence will be a core theme throughout the series. We'll discuss how to build up paintings quickly and cleanly so you'll walk away knowing how to design and execute a landscape with speed and freshness—and you'll learn the little gouache tricks that can make paintings truly sparkle.
The class format will follow one part lecture and one part demo each day (favoring demos). This workshop will include weekly digital paintover critiques (optional) to provide guidance and suggestions to help you get where you want to go with your painting. Total beginners are welcomed, but this class is also a great refresh for painters switching mediums or looking for new inspiration.
