Learn how to paint gouache portraits!
Gouache Portrait Masterclass is an immersive video course that will teach you how to paint gouache portraits in your own unique style.
You'll learn step-by-step how to paint beautiful and realistic portraits. In every lesson I'll show you what I'm doing in real time as well as explain why I'm doing it.
This isn't a bunch of theory or a high-end art school - this is ready to apply, immediately useful information from a professional artist.
Watching my process takes out a lot of the intimidation factor for people who are just starting out with gouache painting and it helps experienced painters process subjects quickly and easily.
Let me demonstrate just how easy painting can be, and give you the jump start that you need to master this skill of painting typically reserved for only professionals!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is it suitable for beginners?

What do I need to begin?
When the class open, you’ll receive a complete and detailed supply list. The first week we will discuss in detail all the supplies and material you need. So don't buy anything before you enroll in class!
Can I use another medium?
The class is painted with gouache, but you can as well use acrylic or acrylagouache, which is a matte acrylic. Watercolor and oil painting wouldn’t be suitable though.
