Join Leah as she shares everything you need to know to get started, from selecting supplies to combining techniques in your final composition. Key lessons include:

  • Choosing (and pronouncing!) your gouache paint and supplies
  • Using water for watercolor effects
  • Layering your paint for a bolder look
  • Linework techniques for adding detail
  • Combining techniques for your final composition

Everyone is welcome to discover the fun and fulfillment of using gouache paint — there’s a reason it’s the favorite of artists and illustrators everywhere! After taking this class, you’ll have everything you need to start painting, experiment with your new medium, and create the work you’ve always imagined.

What can you learn from this course?

Paint your own still life!

Begin by collecting 3-5 pieces of fruit or a few objects from around the house. Try out each of the techniques with one or two objects—identifying moments or styles that you like—then bring everything together into a single still life. If you find that you prefer one of the techniques over the other, paint the entire still life using that technique. Or, try to mix and match the techniques to create a unique look.
