Discover the wonderful world of gouache painting in this beginner-friendly Skillshare class!

Gouache is a fantastic medium – a beautiful blend between watercolors and acrylics. It boasts a unique creamy matte finish and offers incredible versatility. You can achieve the opacity of acrylics through layering, or thin it out to achieve the delicate washes of watercolor.

This class is designed for artists of all skill levels, whether you're a complete beginner or have some painting experience. We'll dive into essential gouache techniques, including:

• Consistency: Mastering the right paint-to-water ratio for different effects.
• Blending: Creating smooth transitions and seamless color mixes.
• Layering: Building depth and dimension in your paintings.

The culmination of our learning will be three beautiful beach-themed Polaroid paintings. Each project is carefully structured to be accessible for beginners & intermediate painters, providing a relaxing and rewarding creative experience.
