Gouache and Watercolor Pencil Portraits Workshop

$48

with To Be Announced

Calendar Next available session starts Apr 25, 2026 at 1 pm

In this workshop we will focus on creating unique self-portraits with gouache. Learn how to use the spontaneity of loose washes and gestural mark-making to your advantage in creating expressive portraits! We’ll focus on building up form with color and value, while refining shape with watercolor pencil. Gouache is an opaque, water-based paint with working qualities similar to both watercolor and acrylic, that results in a matte, flat, and quick-drying finish. It allows for layering from dark to light, high color saturation, and is easy to work with.

Ages 18+. All Materials included.
