For this 15 Day Gouache challenge, I will be guiding you through painting 15 beautiful and unique landscapes using Gouache paints. Starting from today, I will be uploading 1 Class Project every alternate day. I encourage you all to complete all the 15 paintings in a row because painting consistently will help you develop your style and get comfortable with the medium. But you can always come back and finish at your own pace too.
My journey with Gouache started 2.5 years ago when it was just gaining a lot of popularity in the art community and my curiosity drove me to try it out for myself and I fell in love with it instantly.
Gouache is a very versatile medium. It is as beautiful as watercolors and as forgiving as acrylics. You can go from dark to light and correct mistakes and that makes this medium so much fun to explore. I love the fact that with Gouache, you don’t need any artist grade materials to enjoy the medium. Any student grade materials can also help you achieve the same results.
In this class we will be covering all the basics needed to get started with gouache, we will explore some techniques so that you get comfortable with the medium as well as it will be easier for you to follow the class projects. We will also p some elements such as trees, branches, leaves & clouds. Incorporating the techniques & elements we learned we will be painting 15 beautiful landscapes
