In this vibrant, hands-on workshop, you’ll dive into the expressive magic of gouache, starting with playful floral studies and building up to a full-sized landscape bursting with color and light. Whether you're a total newbie or looking to refine your technique, this is your chance to explore gouache in a fun, supportive setting.
What you’ll learn:
- How to choose the right paper and brushes
- Mix rich, opaque hues and delicate transparent washes
- Master layering without your colors looking muddy
- Simplify shapes and build strong compositions
- Add expressive detail and light to your landscapes
If you love watercolor’s fluidity or acrylic’s punch—but crave something more portable and matte—this workshop is your perfect match. Come curious, leave inspired. Supplies are not included—please check the workshop description for the supply list. Space is limited—register now and bring your creativity to life.
Please note that our classes are typically held in the lower level of Arlene's. Because access to the lower level is available only by stair, please let us know if using the stairs presents any difficulty for you in advance of the class so we can make alternate arrangements. We want to make sure everyone is able to enjoy and participate in our classes.
