I'm so excited to invite you all to a fun and beginner-friendly class where we explore a series of beautiful landscapes in Gouache.

If you are familiar with watercolors then gouache will be an exciting transition to explore. 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. The best part of working with Gouache is that unlike Watercolors you don't need expensive artist-grade paper or paint just student-grade paint and a normal would work just fine.

In this class we will be covering all the basics needed to get started with gouache, we will explore some techniques so that you get comfortable with the medium as well as it will be easier for you to follow the class projects. And using this basic knowledge we'll paint 7 gorgeous landscapes in our sketchbook.

This class is not only going to help you get over the first-page anxiety that we feel when we launch a new sketchbook but also help you improve your art using the medium. By the end of this class, you will be tempted to add in more paintings to your sketchbook!

Materials you need for this class :

Water based gouache/ Poster colors
Watercolor/Mixed media paper (at least 180 gsm) - Gouache works on almost all surfaces.
Small size round and medium size flat brush
Mixing palette
Masking tape
2 jars of water
Cloth rag/tissues

And that's it, get them ready and join me in the class!
