Discover the potential of gouache, a form of water painting that is flexible and unique.

This medium combines the ease of using watercolour with the possibility of achieving thick, rich colours that offer a magnificent velvety and matte finish once dry.

This class will guide you through the fundamentals of gouache technique, from delicate washes to intense solids. You’ll develop a deeper understanding thanks to the targeted exercises, which will focus on studies of colour so you can learn to mix and modulate the tints.

Join us to free your creativity with this captivating and versatile medium!

Instructor: Donna Shvil, artist and art educator
