Wednesdays, October 2-30 | 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

Basic watercolor paper and brushes will be provided, but students must bring their own gouache paint kits to class.

Gouache is a fun and accessible medium for beginners as well as more advanced artists.  Using gouache, students will work from a different still-life set up and complete a small painting each class.  The class is limited to 6 students, so each student will be able to work at their own pace and ability.  Although Lauren will explain many of the traditional rules of painting, her teaching method values experimentation, intuition and playfulness over perfectionism. Emphasis will be placed on composition, color, and expressiveness, rather than on realistic rendering.  We will learn from our mistakes, encounter “happy accidents” and have fun.  Basic watercolor paper and brushes will be provided, but students must bring their own gouache paint kits to class.
