About the course

In this beginner/intermediate class you will learn how to paint with gouache to create a tree painting with lots of color, texture, movement and mark-making.

We will discover our inspiration through:

  • A virtual walk through the Morris Arboretum in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia
  • A look at the dynamic tree paintings of Vincent Van Gogh

I will teach you how to:

  • Mix a wide variety of colors with a limited palette
  • Record the colors you create in a sketchbook
  • Play with washes of gouache and wet on wet techniques similar to watercolor
  • Layer textures and mark making to create a library of swatches you can use in future paintings
  • Draw and paint a dynamic tree based on original reference photos from our virtual trip
  • Paint your tree using the skills gained from previous lessons 

Join me for a relaxing and enjoyable painting experience!  I’m excited to see your paintings!

What can you learn from this course?

Your Class Project:

Your class project is to paint a tree in gouache 

  • based on  a reference photo (your own or one of the photos I’ve provided for you)
  • inspired by the beautiful and energetic tree paintings of Vincent Van Gogh
  • exploring the colors you’ve created with a limited color palette

If you have any questions along the way you’re very welcome to send them my way!!

I’m excited to see how Van Gogh’s work inspires you and to see your personality shine through your paintings.  Post photos of your color mixing exploration, your mark making swatches and, of course,  your tree painting.  If you use your own reference photo it would be fun to see what inspired your painting!
