Gouache for Beginners Class with Nancy Hollis

Tuesdays, October 7, 14, 21, 28, 2025.
5:30 - 7:30 PM.
$100, supplies needed.
Limited to 10 students.

Join illustrator Nancy Hollis for a gouache painting demo focused on color theory and chromatic value. In this hands-on session, you’ll learn how to prep and paint on illustration board using just two complementary colors — burnt sienna and ultramarine — plus white to create a full range of values. We’ll explore how value, temperature, and color relationships interact while painting from a still life. The evening will include a mix of live painting demonstration and directed studio time so participants can practice the techniques themselves.
