Painting with Gouache en Plein Air Workshop with Cynthia Inson (Monday through Friday)

This workshop is designed to introduce students to the unique characteristics of painting on location with gouache. Using a casein underpainting, we will work on location to capture the light in the New Mexico landscape. Gouache is a perfect medium for plein aire painting with fast drying times. Basically an opaque watercolor, gouache acts very differently from oils or acrylics. It is not a difficult medium and that simplicity makes it exciting to work with. Students will be encouraged to paint in smaller formats with the goal of completing two pieces each day. Color characteristics of gouache will be studied and developed thoughout the workshop. The emphasis throughout will be on learning, having fun, and developing skills to paint with this incredible medium. Each day will start with a short discussion and demo, then students will paint for the remainder of the class with one on one instruction from Cynthia. 

Please sign up early: class size is limited.
