This workshop offers a focused introduction to gouache painting, a dynamic and expressive ?medium known for its rich opacity, vibrant color, and flexibility. Gouache bridges the qualities of ?watercolor and acrylic, allowing artists to work with both transparent washes and solid, opaque ?layers.?

Participants will explore the fundamental characteristics of gouache, including color mixing, ?layering, tonal control, and surface interaction. The workshop emphasizes creative exploration ?while building strong technical foundations, making it suitable for beginners as well as artists ?with some prior painting experience.?
