Learn to paint gouache florals in this beginner-friendly class! A close cousin of watercolors, gouache is a vibrant medium that is more opaque than watercolors and boasts bold, rich colors. You can use gouache to paint large swaths of color, or hone in on finer details. You can also layer and paint on dark backgrounds!
In this class, we’ll focus on painting several kinds of cultivated flowers and wildflowers. We’ll cover color mixing, sketching, washes, detailing, and painting over colored backgrounds. You’ll learn why gouache is the perfect medium for painting vibrant, graphic-style florals for wall art, greeting cards, or invitations.
Join us for this extra-colorful gouache painting class to explore the beauty of nature and develop skills to cultivate your artistic journey.
