Demo Description
Learning Gouache in a free and unstructured method techniques to create layers over a dry painting, and confidence using bold color.
Demo Materials List
Paper
At least 3 sheets of 22”x30” - 300 lb. watercolor paper. One suggested brand is Fabriano 300 lb paper.
Brushes
A mop brush is essential for this workshop, it will be your main brush. some examples would be
Princeton series 2850 mop, Winsor Newton series 240 or 340.
You might also like to have a liner brush and a small flat brush. I like the Cotman blue handled brushes
for gouache because they are not too soft and relatively inexpensive with a nice snap.
A white ink pen or jar of white ink
A jar of Sennelier gold ink
A black ink pen or small jar of black ink
(Optional) Calligraphy brush
Gouache Paint
Please buy tubes of paint. Also, you are going to be using a lot of paint, get the larger sizes where possible.
I use Holbein brand or Winsor-Newton gouache. At the minimum, you should have a warm and cool of red, yellow and blue, here are some examples:
Yellow- Yellow Light (not lemon)for your cool and Yellow Deep for your warm
Red-Magenta and or Permanent Rose for your cool and geranium, Winsor Red, Brilliant Red for warm
Blue-Turquoise and Brilliant Turquoise, Cyan, Katsura Blue for cool and Ultramarine for warm
Purple-Iris, Lilac, and Dioxazine purple (If you are on a budget, Viridian Green and Magenta make a nice purple)
Greens- Winsor Turquoise Green, or Viridian Green for coolant Permanent Green Light (Please note if you are on a budget-you can mix some blues and yellows to make green)
White-Permanent White or Designer White -Get a Large tube!
Ivory Black
Palette
You will need a paint palette, plastic or I use a piece of glass with plenty of room for mixing. Since your paper will be wet at times, if you don’t have a table that can get wet, get a piece of “Gator Board” or large piece of Plexiglass or shatterproof glass, (Make sure its bigger than your paper) or you might even be able to use a vinyl tablecloth to protect your table.
Additional Materials (Recommended)
Since we will be working looking down- Also have a piece of cardboard, or backing board and some clothes pins so you can stand up the painting up to look at it from across the room now and then. This is always a good idea. In addition, a spray bottle for water.
