Saturday 20th June 1pm - 4pm and Sunday 21st June 10am-1pm This two-day workshop offers an introduction to the expressive and versatile qualities of gouache, a medium that sits beautifully between watercolour and acrylic.
Participants will explore how gouache can be used opaquely or transparently, layered, reworked, and combined with other media to create fresh, lively paintings.
The workshop encourages a spontaneous, intuitive approach to painting, while also developing essential skills in observation, composition, and colour awareness. Working from life, participants will create one or two small paintings, learning how to simplify forms, capture light, and respond to what is seen rather than overthinking the outcome.
Day One – Landscape (3hrs)
If weather permits, the group will work plein air, painting directly from the landscape. If conditions are unsuitable, participants will work indoors using collected reference images. The focus will be on capturing atmosphere, colour relationships, and the overall feel of a place.
Day Two – Still Life (3hrs)
Working indoors from life, participants will explore still-life painting, focusing on composition, tone, and mark-making. This session supports careful observation while maintaining an expressive, loose approach.
