Full Description:
Urban Vignetting and Storytelling in Gouache

If you have never used gouache, but have been curious, this is the workshop to take. Instructor provided pigment set of only 3 pure colors + black and white will automatically focus you on color mixing – which is the primary joy in gouache. Having a non-fussy palette clipped to your sketchbook will allow you to walk around the historic Santa Fe plaza as you take notes of colors and forms and make a walking tour journal of the day. Class will begin with teaching you ways to arrange a palette when on a move, how to keep the pigments wet at such an elevation and how gouache’s overlapping and covering power relieves the sketcher from adhering to strict forms while painting. Mixing colors and applying them in vignettes and then connecting them by a handwritten story will give you the day’s journal in gouache. When you share this image of your day with others, you will have followed the Urban Sketching manifesto, “Show the world, one sketch at a time”. You are now an Urban Sketcher.
