Working with Gouache
Ages: 18+
Gouache (from the Italian guazzo, "water paint, splash") is a type of paint consisting of pigment suspended in water. Gouache differs from watercolor in that the particles are larger, the ratio of pigment to water is much higher, and an additional, inert, white pigment such as chalk is also present. This makes gouache heavier and more opaque, with greater reflective qualities. Gouache is an excellent medium for learning about and how to use color. The class will focus mainly on color and design and the materials of the artist. All materials and supplies provided.

NOTES FROM THE INSTRUCTOR:
Paper: I use Rives BFK heavyweight -white Or Arches 140lb cold press

Paints: Try to get at least the primary colors--a red, yellow and blue in good quality paint--you can mix what you need from those. Don't go buy a whole bunch of paint for this class unless you plan to keep painting! You can do the class work and learn a lot without the investment! I would suggest that you look at some of the sets that are available.

Other materials I like to have on hand when I paint:
