Ally will show you how to use the very versatile medium GOUACHE which is a water based paint but has some characteristics of watercolor, acrylic and oils. Gouache is an opaque matte medium and YES we use white paint!!

One of the popular techniques is layering with gouache- start with a thin wash and work thicker layers over it to create an opaque masterpiece. Layering allows you to make changes more easily and makes changes to value and tone.

Once used mostly by illustrators, gouache is becoming more popular among modern painters. Let's experiment together with small and simply compositions to get the feel of the medium and see what all the fuss is about! You will love it!

Supplies: Any set of gouache tube paints (not acrylic gouache) The more expensive paints have more color pigmentation and light fastness- ie. Winsor Newton or M.Graham- both sold at Jerry's Artarama. The Arteza 24 regular colors sold on Amazon are also a good choice at around $23. Any Hot Press watercolor paper pad size 9 x 12 and a set of various watercolor brushes, a flat palette and paper towels one inch artist tape, pencils, water container, eraser and ruler.
