Painting with Gouache: Opaque Watercolor

Learn how to use gouache paint as we create works from observation. Gouache is an opaque, flat, color medium with beautiful possibilities. We'll start with a one-subject painting from observation and then move through projects with a variety of subjects like still-lifes with fruits and vegetables, flowers and botanicals, interiors and furniture, and outdoor landscapes. We will also go outdoors to paint and evening scene, a great exercise in painting under quickly changing light conditions.
