Curious about gouache? In this video, I dive into what gouache is and how it differs from watercolor, highlighting its unique qualities and creative potential. I'll introduce a hands-on challenge where you'll explore gouache in your studio color notebook by trying a color study, painting with opaque color 'building blocks,' and working with strong directional light.

Email me at colortheory@annelivingston.com to share any studies you would like to show me!

Plus, I recommend an in-depth video review of different gouache brands by Sarah Burns Studio on YouTube (see links below). If you're ready to unlock the possibilities of gouache, this is the perfect place to start!
