What really says that you’re in the tropics are palm trees and tall grasses. And yet the way that light illuminates them is so different. So you will learn that there are a variety of colors and placement of shadows that are unique to palm trees. You will also learn how to paint natural tall grasses which are very similar in approach as palm trees.

This class is designed to teach the benefit of using gouache, considered an opaque watercolor, with transparent watercolors. The techniques are used to highlight, correct, and soften your watercolor paintings. Use it to create realistic feathers on birds, easily blend backgrounds, paint interesting foliage and any other number of uses. Gouache, pronounced “gwash”, is easily lifted and reworked even after several weeks without scrubbing.
