**All sessions are live and will be recorded, students do not have to be present. All recordings will be available to students for 3 months after the final session, after 3 months the recording will be deleted.
Please check your email spam/junk folder for your Zoom invite. Our business hours are 10:00 AM through 5:00 PM. All course information and email correspondence will be sent during business hours. If students purchase a course, workshop, demo or recording outside business hours or during the weekend the course information or recording will be sent the following business day.
During the 4 meeting course I will emphasize: To do and not to do rules while working with gouache.
Each meeting I will do a demonstration, and show a different artist for inspiration. Starting from choosing a good motif, planning the composition, and working on different sketches.
Continue through some exercises to feel the material and how it behaves, how it covers the previous layer, and what happens when working wet or dry. Brush strokes, how much color, how much water.
We will enjoy the discovery of opaque and strong colors that gouache provides, planning the stages of our painting (there is a limitation of how many layers the gouache can absorb).
Starting from big and simplified shapes into choosing and considering details: where to put them, how many of them, how to do them, in order to keep freshness and focus.
Individual comments and help will be provided through Padlet.
