*Note: Gouache is expensive. If you have some, use what you have for this workshop. If you wish to buy gouache, it’s worth it to get good quality (such as Winsor & Newton, Schmincke, Turner or Holbein.) Student quality paints generally don’t give you good results. Don’t buy acrylic gouache.

** Note: Since this is a short workshop, if you don’t want to purchase all these materials in advance (gouache, watercolor paper, colored papers), feel free to watch the demo. If you have one or two tubes of paint, it will be sufficient to work along with the instructor and then can continue with additional colors and paper afterwards.
