Introduction to Gouache Painting

Join artist Takeyce Walter for a day of painting along the beautiful Hudson River. In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore the expressive possibilities of gouache?a versatile, water-based medium perfect for capturing the changing light, color, and atmosphere of the Adirondack landscape. We?ll begin with a brief demonstration and discussion on composition, color mixing, and painting techniques specific to plein air work with gouache. Then, you?ll set up your easel along the river to paint your own interpretation of the scene. Takeyce will offer individual guidance and feedback throughout the session, helping you translate what you see into a vibrant and cohesive painting. Whether you?re an experienced painter looking to refine your plein air technique or a beginner eager to explore the magic of painting outdoors, this workshop will inspire you to see the Hudson?and your own creative practice?in a new light.
