Landscape Painting with Gouache Outdoors

Description

Gouache is an opaque water-based paint that suits quick work outdoors. These fourteen PDF lessons begin with gouache materials and setup, its properties and techniques, and the equipment for painting outside.

They continue with setting up a portable painting station, mixing colour for natural scenes, and painting skies and clouds, distant mountains, trees and foliage, and water and reflections. Later lessons cover building layers from background to foreground, light and shadow, changing outdoor conditions and atmospheric perspective, and finish with protecting your artwork. Exercises and a checklist appear in many lessons. After reading, you will be able to plan and paint a small outdoor scene.

Who it is for: beginners who want to paint outdoors with gouache.
