Terry Miura-Oh My Gouache! 7 Things You Must Do To Tame The BEAST!

https://www.terrymiura.com/

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 overcome these annoying obstacles so that we can tame the beast.

The workshop will be held indoors, working with photo references. There will be plenty of demos and hands-on instruction.Included in the workshop will be a brand new, full-color instructional book explaining everything you need to know! This book is available only as a workshop accompaniment, and not available for sale.
