Come and learn how to draw and paint still lifes of beautiful plants! Once your drawing of the plant is complete, you will paint it with gouache! Gouache is a wonderful paint. It is water-soluble and combines the best of both acrylics and watercolors and is easy to use. It is easy to set up, clean up and with a limited palette, you can mix many colors.
You will learn some basic drawing skills and gouache painting techniques. To begin, you will use artist drawing pencils to draw your plant. Then you will create a lovely painting of your plant using gouache colors that you have mixed with the help of a color wheel.
