Glowing Beach Sunsets : A 7 Day Gouache Challenge

via Skillshare

Overview

For this 7-day challenge, I will be guiding you through painting seven unique and beautiful Glowing Beach Sunsets. I encourage you to complete all the paintings in 7 days in a row, but you are welcome to stop and come back to finish at anytime at your own pace. Doing this challenge consistently over one week will help you stay in the loop, and help you to develop your style and also get comfortable with the medium.

I'm super thrilled to invite you all to a fun and beginner friendly class where we explore a series of Glowing Beach Sunsets with gouache! 7 Days and 7 Stunning Beach Sunsets!

If you are familiar with watercolors then gouache will be a very interesting transition to explore. 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. The best part of working with Gouache is that unlike Watercolors you don't need an expensive artist grade paper or paint just a student grade paint and a normal would work just fine.

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. Incorporating the techniques we learned we will be painting 7 Beach Sunsets.
