Gouache is a vibrant medium that blends the luminosity of watercolor with the bold opacity of acrylic, making it an ideal choice for beginners. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn essential techniques—such as wet-on-wet washes, blending and rich layered color—to create your own beautifully framed three-dimensional artwork to take home. All supplies are provided; just bring your curiosity and adventurous spirit! You’ll also leave with a helpful resource list so you can continue exploring gouache at home.
