A modern, easy-to-use, authoritative guide to painting with gouache, including the basics of this exciting century-old medium, techniques for all skill levels, and practical projects from an experienced author and illustrator.
This charming, contemporary step-by-step guide to gouache (pronounced "gwash") is perfect for creative people who have dreamed of painting inspiring subjects from everyday life.
Gouache is a water-based paint similar to watercolour that has the opacity and layering ability of acrylic paints. It creates wonderful gouaches, allows layering and texturing, and dries quickly with a unique matte finish.
Illustrator Emma Block presents everything you need to know about this whimsical and fun medium, including expert guidance on tools and materials and techniques that will make it easy to use.
Thirty lessons cover subjects from simple ones, such as the morning cup of coffee and bright lemons, to more advanced ones, such as fluffy animals and portraits of your friends and family.
All are accompanied by their fine-tuned workshop instructions and step-by-step illustrations, which will help you gain the dexterity and confidence to finish beautiful pieces of your own.
