If you are a fan of watercolors, then you are going to truly love painting in gouache! The character of gouache paint shares much in common with watercolors but arguably offers greater degrees of layering possibilities, incredible opacity and brilliancy to the pigment, which delivers a deliciously lush finish to the artwork. Join us this autumn as we take short strolls through our garden, pick up a few bits of inspiration to work from, and capture their beauty through art within a studio setting. Under the guidance of Carlos Gallostra, you will gain a greater comprehension of the media, color theory and design, while developing a series of dynamic illustrative paintings in gouache depicting the wonders in Nature. All levels are welcomed!
