Acrylic Gouache Adventures: Getting Started

Acrylic Gouache is a wonderful beginner-friendly medium, It's bright and fun, it's creamy to paint with, it dries fast and it layers like a dream. There's just one problem. There aren't very many resources to learn how to use it! Until now! This class will be the getting started guide I never had to teach you everything you need to bring your ideas to life in Acrylic Gouache! 

In this class, you'll learn everything you need to know to get started with Acrylic Gouache (on paper). We’ll cover how to control the ratio of water to paint to get exactly the effects you want (for lines and areas of colour!), how to layer colour and perfect your brush control, and how to mix custom colours and create swatches so you will be able to masterfully mix colour to create anything you can imagine. We’ll be painting three simple still-life projects to apply everything we've learned while we work together to uncover all the secrets of Acrylic Gouache!

So if you've been wanting to experiment with Acrylic Gouache but you didn't know where to start, or you have a few tubes of Acrylic Gouache tucked away that you were too nervous to try: now is the time! Let's grab our paint and get painting!
