Synopsis

For artists who enjoy watercolour and want to explore something different, gouache offers a distinctive balance of fluidity and opacity, with the flexibility to paint light over dark as well as dark over light. Jeremy Ford introduces the materials and tools required, then builds confidence through a substantial techniques section covering overlaying colours, colour blending and troubleshooting.

Three straightforward, step-by-step projects demonstrate different approaches to the medium, supported by numerous finished paintings that show the breadth of subjects, styles and techniques possible. With 90 colour illustrations, it is designed to help beginners get started while encouraging the development of an individual painting style.
