Welcome to my Fourth Skillshare class on Gouache Landscapes for Beginners and how to find your creative style. Painting landscapes can be a wonderful way to express your creativity and capture the beauty of the nature and with gouache it becomes even more fun since gouache is a versatile and a popular medium for creating landscapes. It allows for vibrant colors, opaque coverage, and the ability to layer and blend.
