Self-Paced Workshops
Painting with Gouache on Marbled Paper
A four-part self-paced workshop exploring how to combine the vibrant, opaque qualities of gouache with the rich textures and patterns of marbled paper. Across four recorded lessons, I guide you from materials and planning to creating a finished painting, with a focus on composition, layering, depth, detail and responding
creatively to the surface of the paper.
