Oh My Gouache! Beginner Gouache Painting (4wk)

Oh My Gouache! Beginner Gouache Painting (4wk) with Megan Bray

Part 1: Wednesday March 19 - April 9 2-5pm

Using traditional gouache, and with a focus on creating and maintaining a sketchbook practice, we will explore colour mixing, layering, blending, glazing, and all the possibilities gouache offers!

PART 2: TBD

What is Gouache anyway?!

Gouache (rhymes with squash, say it like gwaash!) is an opaque watercolour paint with a very matte finish. Traditional gouache is always re-wettable, whereas acrylic gouache is permanent once dry.
