DESCRIPTION:  Gouache is one of the most versatile and fun painting mediums, allowing you to paint similar to oils, acrylics and watercolors, but with different advantages. There is less mess, easy to make changes, effortless set-up and clean-up, and great for travel, using no solvents, only water, as a convenient grab-and-go medium.  And you can use it for quick studies or a finished painting.   In this class Kathleen will guide you through the ins-and-outs of how to use gouache, including your equipment, paints and surfaces so you can enjoy using it as much as she does.
