Gouache Basics


Discover the velvety, matte finish of gouache while learning to paint with this forgiving medium


More details

This workshop is an introduction to gouache (pronounced ‘gwash’), an opaque water-based paint valued for its saturated colour and velvety matte finish. While related to watercolour, gouache has unique qualities such as using light colours over dark and on toned papers. Students will explore the basics of colour theory through a series of painting exercises. Gouache is a great medium for beginning painters because of its versatile and forgiving quality. This two-day workshop offers a valuable introduction to anyone curious about gouache and its potential. Suitable for all levels. See supply list. SATURDAY & SUNDAY, JANUARY 23 & JANUARY 24, 1:30 - 4:30PM(PCT) IN-PERSON
