Terry Miura Gouache Workshop - May 19th, 20th and 21st, 2023

Class Description:

Gouache may be described best as opaque watercolor, and it is a great sketching medium, both for en plein air and in-studio studies, thanks to it’s unique characteristics. The set up is more compact and much less messy than oils; truly a very handy medium for traveling and quick sketches almost anywhere.

You may have noticed a recent resurgence in popularity of gouache on social media, and perhaps have even been curious enough to try it, only to discover how difficult it is to control it.

In this workshop, I will break down the unique quirks and characteristics of the medium, and explain why it’s so difficult to control. And then, I will show you exactly what you need to do to overcome these annoying obstacles so that we may tame the beast.

We will  get to know the medium by working indoors, in a controlled environment using photo references. This stuff is hard enough without the added factors of weather and hauling gear, don’t you think? Once you gain a command of the medium, it just may become your favorite sketching medium both indoors and en plein air!
