Gouache is a wonderfully versatile medium and it really comes into it's own when used in sketchbooks or travel journals to record what you see. It is fast drying and vibrant but also able to be used in many different ways. In this class i will demonstrate how i like to use gouache in my sketchbook to capture landscape sketches and studies for inspiration for larger artworks.
I have broken the process of creating a landscape study down into four simple steps and i will show you two finished landscape studies, one in real time and one as a time-lapse.Â
I will also talk about gouache as a medium, which materials I recommend and also how to work with a limited palette.
This class is aimed at more intermediate artists that do have a bit of prior painting experience however if you are a beginner don't let that deter you. You need to start somewhere and there is a lot of really helpful information in this class regarding how to plan a composition, working out which colors to use and the step by step process of painting a landscape sketch.
