Start with a 15-minute breakdown of what gouache is, the surfaces it works best on, and tips for achieving the right consistency for opacity and layering. Then, use a curated selection of beginner-friendly reference images to create one to two finished works on watercolor paper. Whether you’re an artist looking to expand your practice or a beginner eager to try something new, you’ll leave with completed artworks, an informational leaflet about gouache, and the joy of a new creative experience!
