Picture a lemon tree on the Amalfi coast, sun-drenched and a little wild, next to a wall of blue and white tiles. That's the painting we're making today, and it's the perfect excuse to really play with gouache.
This isn't a "follow along and copy" workshop. It's exploratory, so we're getting into what actually makes gouache work, not just following steps. By the end you'll understand the medium, not just have one painting to show for it.
Here's what you'll walk away knowing:
- How to get your gouache consistency right (this alone fixes half the frustrations people have with the medium)
- Layering, blending, and dry brushing techniques
- How to mix colour with a limited palette for maximum impact
- Expressive, loose painting that feels full of life and character
- How to sketch and paint your own Amalfi Lemons composition
- A lot more confidence with gouache in your hands
