In this class, we'll be focusing on how to paint with gouache and get the best out of it. Gouache is such a versatile medium, so often though it gets used like watercolor, but I believe it's at its best when used in a flat, slightly thicker way to give a bold graphic look.

We will start with some paint tech exercises and then move on to pattern making.

Covering:

•   What materials you will need.


•   The different qualities of the paint pigment.


•   How to paint a color guide for reference.


•   My personal methods for mixing paint to get the right consistency.


•   The best way to layer your paint.


•   How using different brushes affects your mark-making.


•   We will experiment with marks creating a variety of patterns and produce a library of inspiration.
