If you’ve been curious about Acrylic Gouache but haven’t known where to start, this class is for you. Acrylic Gouache is a bright, opaque and delightfully beginner-friendly medium. In this 4-week class, we’ll cover how to make crisp lines, flat areas of colour, layered compositions and mix any hue you can imagine, while working on simple exercises and still-life paintings with Acrylic Gouache. Explore a new medium in a fun and supportive atmosphere!
