Further Detail
During this course you will be introduced to the versatility of gouache and shown a number of different ways in which the medium can be used to create paintings using a combination of loose, watercolour-like washes together with opaque colour. We will be working from a variety of genres and arrangements, both conventional and the slightly more unconventional. As with watercolour, you will be using watercolour brushes and paper, but there will also be examples demonstrating how gouache can be used with other mediums.
