Discover the joy of painting with gouache— a vibrant medium that blends the transparency of watercolor with the opacity of acrylic, making it a versatile choice for beginners. We’ll explore techniques like wet-on-wet washes, blending, layering rich colors and dry brushing. You'll leave with a framed painting, practical skills and a resource list to keep creating at home. All supplies are included. Just bring your curiosity—and a willingness to try something new. Susan Tarrant earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of North Texas.
