Are you curious about Acryla Gouache? Is it acrylic? Gouache? The answer is Yes! it’s the best of both. Learn about this versatile medium and all its properties in this next installment of the Spectrum Sketchbook series, offered by Liz Carlson. Each class will focus on a wedge of the color wheel allowing you to focus and master a full spectrum of color mixing. You’ll be amazed how far you can get with a limited palette and a little guidance!
Fill pages of your favorite watercolor sketchbook; the perfect format for exploration. Inspiration images are provided for in class work. Homework is part of this class. Access to Pinterest will be useful. Some drawing experience is helpful.
