About this lesson

Sarah Burns demonstrates two primary approaches to gouache painting: the 'layers' method using sequential washes from diluted color through mid-tones to opaque details, and the 'chunks' technique for detailed compositions. She emphasizes keeping gouache moist using spray bottles and sealed palettes to counteract its fast-drying nature.
