What You Will Learn?

  • Painting Postcards is lots of fun and Gouache is a great medium to capture the beautiful Spring colors with. Gouache is a medium that is overlooked by many, while it is an awesome medium for those beginning with painting and for all those who have been painting and want to try a new medium. While it's close to watercolor, it is way more forgiving and has some special powers that watercolor lacks... it can be used opaque and transparant and is a fast drying paint..
  • After exploring a Winter Impression with Gouache in the previous Class, it is now time to discover painting the next season... Spring. It is NOT a must to have done the Winter Impression to join this Class. Each season is a stand-alone Class focussing on different things..
  • In the Spring Edition we're going to focus on painting in a slightly different way than before. Perhaps not painting differently, but we will not only be focussing on painting alone. We're going to work with 3 colors only (and black & white for support), I'm going to show how to use yellow, red and blue to get a nice range of colors, like greens, pink, browns and greys..
  • While we'll be mainly painting a landscape, I'm introducing a new element to this series, animals. What is Spring without some birds? As if that isn't enough, I'm also going to show you how to use a reference from a different season and turn that into a Spring painting..
  • Plenty of element to discover in the Second Edition of the Gouache Postcards Series..
  • Included with this Class are a Material List, a Sketch and the Reference Photos. You will find all of those in the Project Section..
