Description

Join artist Carrie Richardson for a hands-on gouache painting workshop, where you'll create a vibrant Striped Love Beetle masterpiece! Perfect for beginners and hobbyists alike, this class introduces you to the basics of painting with acryla gouache (pronounced "gwash")—Carrie's favorite paint!

So, what is gouache? Imagine if watercolor and acrylic had a baby—it has the blendability and fluidity of watercolor while being vibrant, layerable, and fast-drying like acrylic. Often called "opaque watercolor," it dries to a bold, matte finish, making colors pop beautifully.

Whether you're an acrylic painter curious about a new medium, a watercolorist craving more intense hues, or a beginner eager to learn painting techniques, this class is for you! Carrie will share her top painting tips, and you'll leave with a colorful, 9x12 framable work of art and a set of skills to keep your creativity flowing.
