An introduction to this beautiful, misunderstood medium. Not quite acrylic – not quite watercolour, gouache is a paint that can be used multiple ways. Added to your watercolour paintings, you’ll find its matte finish and opaqueness delivers depth and vibrancy to your floral, landscape and abstract works. Starting with our watercolour or acrylic brushes, we'll do some simple landscape and floral exercises on watercolour paper before moving on to mounted canvas or canvas paper works. Or if you wish, try yupo or mineral papers as each one delivers its own unique results with the gouache. This full day workshop is intended to help you gain a feel for gouache's capabilities, whether alone or combined with other mediums. Previous experience with watercolour and/or acrylic is recommended.

Members: $76.87 + HST, Non-Members: $79 + HST. Sunday.
