As we continue to explore the watercolor medium, people inevitably begin to ask about gouache watercolors. I’ve dabbled in them before, and found that they have quite the learning curve. I find this especially if you go into your gouache experience, assuming they’ll be just like transparent watercolors. But they’re truly unique, and kind of remind me of acrylic and oil and watercolor – confusing right?! In August, we will explore 4 weeks of gouache paintings. We’ll warm up with some abstract studies, work into painting on grey/beige/black toned papers, landscapes and florals
Supplies:
§ Pencil & eraser & pencil sharpener – you might want to consider a mechanical pencil, they give great tiny line work
§ Water cup
§ Palette for mixing colors, I strongly suggest a white ceramic plate or palette for gouache
§ Watercolor brushes Round size 2 and ¼” flat wash
§ Micron 01 pen in black or sepia (brown)
§ Heat tool or hair dryer
§ Painters Tape
§ Art tote or rigid surface to tape your watercolor paper down to
§ Strathmore Toned Paper in Grey or Tan - really prefer Toned Mixed Media, but it’s not always easy to find in the grey or tan. I will be demo’ing on grey, tan and 6x8 mixed media black
§ Ruler
§ Paper towels or baby wipes
§ Sspray bottle
§ OPTIONAL – Kuretake Gold Mica Ink
§ OPTIONAL – Fountain Pen (for dipping into your gold ink)
