In this class we will paint a gouache landscape using a limited number of colours. You will learn how to paint soft clouds in the sky, distant mountains, water and reflections, and a field of flowers.

The colours I have used are: primary blue (cool), ultramarine blue (warm), primary yellow (cool), deep yellow (warm), yellow ochre (warm), primary red (cool), burnt umber, black and white.

This class is suited for intermediate students and is a fun way to put into practice the knowledge and skills taught in my Beginner's Guide to Gouache class.

Some skills we will be practicing include:

Sketching
Colour mixing
Blending and gradations
Dry brush technique
Layering light on dark
