Catherine Hamilton - Gouache Seascape Paintings

Catherine Hamilton – Gouache Paintings

A great workshop to find out more about gouache painting. Gouache are water based opaque paints which are perfect for travel, plein air and studio work. Similar to watercolour, but have a wonderful opacity that gives a rich, deep, colourful finish. If you have tried them before and want to know more about how to layer your work, create washes or you’d like to discover new techniques, sign up for this workshop. If you have never used gouache, this will be an ideal workshop to learn this new medium! If you are a watercolourist and want to introduce more opacity to your work, come and join me!
