Our first class with artist Eva Christensen will focus on telling personal stories through gouache and watercolour. Core topics include composition, looking to art history for inspiration, instruction in gouache painting, group critique, varnishing and mounting paintings on wood panel and more. Participants will use their own personal photos as the foundation for this program. Eva will lead participants through her process of painting and sharing cherished memories from photo references as gouache studies on paper. All participants welcome, some prior experience with painting recommended.
