Painting the Everyday with Gouache


Your everyday life can provide endless subject matter for painting with gouache.


More details

Gouache (pronounced “gwash”) is an opaque water-based paint that is easy to use and very forgiving. Students will discover the excitement of working with gouache through a range of weekly projects. This course is inspired by the artist, illustrator, and writer Maira Kalman (http://www.mairakalman.com/). The focus is on using objects and experiences that are part of your everyday, as well as using popular culture and current events as subject matter. Composition, working with text, and ideas surrounding meaning and content will be addressed with each project. Course will include presentations of other artists working with ‘the everyday’ as a source as well as examples of artists who work with gouache. TUESDAYS, JAN 7 - APR 1, 2PM - 5PM ONLINE
