Workshop:Painting Nature in Gouache
Participants will learn how to use gouache (rhymes with squash) to paint nature. Gouache is a water-based, nontoxic medium that is very versatile. It can be thinned and used like watercolor, or applied thickly like oils. It dries with a beautiful matte finish and is great for sketchbook work and travel. We will discuss the pros and cons of the medium, the difference between regular and acrylic gouache, different brands, and best practices for storing and extending paint life. Techniques and methods will be explored through painting a landscape and/or a bird.
MATERIALS to bring: Holbein CMYK set of regular gouache paint (or your own) Holbein gouache set, Set of short-handle synthetic paint brushes (these are great for what we are doing), Airtight paint palette box Airtight stay wet palette and paint saver just in case), Watercolor sketchbook or watercolor block/paper, Artist tape, pencil, rag or paper towels, water cup & small spritz bottle, Nature Reference material options.
