Why Gouache?

If you're familiar with watercolor, you'll find gouache to be a delightful and accessible transition. Gouache offers the beauty of watercolors with the forgiving qualities of acrylics. You can easily build from dark to light, correct mistakes, and achieve vibrant, opaque colors.

The best part? Unlike watercolors, you don't need expensive, artist-grade materials! Student-grade gouache and standard paper will work perfectly.

What You'll Learn:

This class covers all the essential gouache basics, including:

• Gouache techniques for beginners
• Color mixing and layering
• Creating smooth gradients and blending effects
• Tips for achieving luminous, glowing sunset effects
• How to correct mistakes easily

Your 7 Beach Sunset Projects:

You'll apply the techniques learned to paint seven unique and beautiful beach sunsets, each with a distinctive glowing quality. These projects are designed to build your confidence and skill.
