Learn Gouache!!

Greetings Art Enthusiasts!

We've been having a really hot summer here in Sacramento, and it's enough to wilt your motivation to do much of anything.

Inside the studio, thankfully the AC is on full blast and I've been busy preparing for the upcoming gouache workshop in Lowell, Michigan!

It's not too late to sign up! I have just a few spots left, and if you've been thinking about learning how to work with this very versatile medium, now is your chance!

OH MY GOUACHE! 7 Things You Must Do To Tame The Beast!

Where: Franciscan Life Process Center, Lowell, Michigan

When: August 25 - 27

Cost: $625

I'm bringing my gouache workshop to Michigan! Gouache has once again become very popular, thanks to its travel-friendly nature and beautiful, opaque colors.

If you've tried it, you may have found that it's very difficult to control values and without that control, we really can't do anything satisfactory, right?

Well, in this workshop, I will show you exactly why it misbehaves, and how to manage it so that you have complete control over it!

It's not just about values, obviously. So in this workshop we will cover everything from materials to colors, and strategies for different situations.

This is an in-studio workshop, and we will be working with photo references that I provide.

Please go to the Franciscan Center's website for more information, or to sign up!

Oh and my secret book, Oh My Gouache! 7 Things You Must Do To Tame The Beast! is included in the workshop!

This book covers everything we'll talk about in the workshop, with plenty of process shots so you can take home the lessons and concepts and refer back to them.

This book is published only as a an accompaniment to this workshop, so no, it is NOT available for purchase on its own. Sorry!

July Sale!

Here's a breezy summer hike through the woods to beat the heat.

Walking through a shady part into a sunny patch, I aimed to retell the quality of light and the mood it creates.

Painting something to resemble reality is one thing, but communicating what it felt like to have been there, requires more than technique.

I can't articulate what that is - if I could, I'd have been a writer - but looking at this painting, hopefully you can feel the fresh air and sense an appreciation for the pleasant day that I was experiencing.

The painting is available for the special reduced price of $1200, frame, tax, and shipping included. (The regular price is $1800)

If you'd like to add this piece to your collection, please email me.

Thanks for reading my newsletter and have an artful day!
