BEGINNER GOUACHE FOR PLEIN AIR –
Workshop:
Instructor: Judd Mercer
– Ages: Adults
9:00 am – 4:00 pm, Friday, Saturday, Sunday –
September 16, 17, 18 – $425.
Bring to Class:
-Water media sketchbook such as a Strathmore
-Mixed Media or Moleskine Watercolor Sketch-
book or a Ringed Sketchbook. If you prefer, you
can also bring illustration board panels cut down
to a manageable size (8×10, 5×7) or a watercolor
paper block.
-Watercolor or portable palette. Something small
with 8-10 wells. A pochade box will work as well
if you have one.
=Masking tape
=Small mister spray bottle
=Gouache: Any standard 12 color set and we can
work with that, or you can mimic my palette
(below). Student grade is ok for this class, but try
to avoid acrylic gouache as it dries too fast. I
prefer Holbein but any brand will do.
