2149 - Painting Flowers in Gouache All Levels
Course Overview
Gouache (pronounced “gwash") painting is a technique in which an opaque white pigment is added to watercolor to produce opacity. In gouache, the color lies on the surface of the paper, forming a continuous layer, or coating. A gouache is characterized by a directly reflecting brilliance. Gouache is a versatile paint and a great medium for beginners. In this step by step painting class, you will learn how to sketch a floral bouquet, brushstroke techniques for adding more visual interest and texture to paintings, layering and blending and basic color theory. Gouache achieves a flat matte finish that is unique to any other medium!
