Painting Beautiful Landscapes in Traditional Gouache with Peri-Laine Nilan
Join artist, Peri-Laine Nilan, as she paints a landscape scene with gouache. We are so happy to present a demo on the highly requested topic of traditional gouache. Attendees can look forward to seeing this opaque water-soluble medium in action, as well as learning blending and layering. This popular and versatile medium can also be combined with other mediums such as pen and ink drawing or coloured pencil to create a colourful and unique finished work. For all those looking forward to Plein Air season, Gouache is a fantastic alternative to watercolour or acrylics when heading out for your next painting adventure. This demo will be fantastic for anyone interested in learning more about traditional gouache!
