Oh My Gouache! 10 Things you must do to tame the beast! In recent years, you may have noticed on social media a resurgence in popularity of gouache. It is a really great medium for sketching and studies, due to its brilliant matte colors and portability. You may perhaps have even been curious enough to try it, only to discover how difficult it is to control. In this workshop, I will break down the unique quirks and characteristics of the medium, and explain why it’s so difficult to control. And then, I will show you exactly what you need to do to overcome these annoying obstacles so that we may tame the beast. We will get to know the medium by working indoors, in a controlled environment using photo references. This stuff is hard enough without the added challenge of painting en plein air. Once you understand the characteristics that makes gouache unique, it just may become your favorite sketching medium both indoors and out!
