Marian Hirsch Gouache Supply List

Known for its opacity and brilliant color, gouache is a versatile water-based paint that has recently grown in popularity. This workshop will help students make the most of the medium, from transparent washes to opaque applications. Its soft, velvety matte finish is well suited to still lifes and luminous landscapes. Although more forgiving than watercolor, gouache still benefits from a thoughtful approach. Marian will share techniques that help students use the medium effectively. Its fast-drying time makes it ideal for quick studies on location as well as larger studio work.
