Watercolor and Gouache with David R. Becker
Dates: June 18 – 20, 2024
Time: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM Location: Faith Lutheran Church, Bagley Cost: $125 This watercolor and gouache class will cover using transparent watercolor and opaque watercolor gouache together. Students will be learning about traditional watercolors and how to use them together with acrylic and watercolor gouache techniques. There will be times we use the gouache in a transparent watercolor way and at times we will be using it like you would use oils and acrylics. Painting surfaces will include paper, Yupo paper, and black watercolor paper. Students will learn how to use these two mediums together to create a different type of style and technique. It is like TWO CLASSES IN ONE! Each day the students do an exercise in the morning and start another in the afternoon to go over many different aspects of each medium they use. Each class and exercise builds on the previous assignment, which helps students learn all that David wants them to take away from this class. David will bring the gouache for the workshop.
