Gouache Still Life

Learn to paint a dynamic gouache still life with Rebecca Prince.

Starting with a coloured ink layer underpainting you will sketch up a still life from a selection of arranged fruits and vegetables. Rebecca will then guide you through the process of painting on layers of water soluble gouache to make your still life subject pop.

This session is beginner friendly and aims to be fun and relaxing as well as an opportunity to learn new painting techniques.
