Have you been looking for a beginner’s guide to painting with gouache? Ever wanted to learn how to paint with gouache but found the medium too challenging to learn on your own? Then this is the class for you!

I’ll go over the basics of painting with gouache for absolute beginners, so that with practice, you can master the medium! We’ll use fun, meditative sketchbook exercises and painting drills – which are fun for artists of all levels – to make beautiful paintings and learn different techniques for painting with this fun opaque watercolor medium.

In this class, you’ll learn:

The tea to butter method of paint consistency
How to work with different brushes
Painting flat, smooth layers
Blending and painting gradients
Layering and textures by using color and paint techniques such as dry brush, wet-on-dry, and wet-on-wet
The best way to organize a painting for success
A step by step guide to painting a dreamy cloud skyscape

These techniques are all essential skills for creating a successful gouache landscape painting, and they can be adapted and applied to a variety of other subjects and styles as well.

Here's a link to the list of art supplies I recommend.
