I am so thrilled to invite you to this where will are going to explore the Ocean, Waves and beaches using Gouache for 7 Days.

For this 7-day Gouache challenge, I will be guiding you through painting 7 beautiful and unique seascapes using Gouache paints. Starting today, I will be uploading 1 Class Project every alternate day. I encourage you all to complete all 7 paintings in a row because painting consistently will help you develop your style and get comfortable with the medium. But you can always come back and finish at your own pace too.

My journey with Gouache started 2.5 years ago when it was just gaining a lot of popularity in the art community and my curiosity drove me to try it out for myself and I fell in love with it instantly.

Gouache is a very versatile medium. It is as beautiful as watercolors and as forgiving as acrylics. You can go from dark to light and correct mistakes, making this medium so much fun to explore. I love the fact that with Gouache, you don't need any special paper or brushes to enjoy the medium. Any materials can also help you achieve the same results.

Painting the ocean can be tricky & intimidating but don't worry because I am going to walk you through everything step by step. In this class, we will be covering all the basics needed to get started with gouache. We will Start off by discussing the color palette for the course and then dive into the basic gouache techniques. Before we dive into the class projects we will practice 4 types of ocean, waves & beaches so that you are familiar with the application of the techniques and have an idea about how to approach the class projects.

By the end of this class you are going to be a lot more confident about painting this subject and will be so proud of your creations too!
