Have you ever wanted to have your portrait painted? I'll teach you how to do it yourself! In this class, you'll learn how to paint a portrait in gouache.

Gouache is an opaque water-based paint that came into popularity in mid-century art. It's now seeing a resurgence due to its rich, matte colors and beautiful textures. I’ve spent over ten years painting portraits (and more!) in gouache, and I’m excited to share tips and secrets on how to work with this tricky but rewarding medium to create unique portraits that would make great gifts (even for yourself)!

In this class you’ll learn:

How to draw a simple face and create a likeness
Best brushes and materials to use for creating miniature portraits
The perfect consistency for the best gouache results
Mixing colors for skin tones
How to paint with gouache

This class is perfect for beginner to experienced artists alike who are interested in learning to draw and paint stylized portraits. I’ll go step by step to show you how to create a small portrait by using the techniques and tools you’ll learn in the class.

Even if you’ve never drawn a face or painted before, you’ll find simple and effective tips for improving whatever level you’re starting with. You’ll need watercolor paper, a set of water-media brushes, and a set of gouache paints.
