Pat Blair - Designing with Gouache - Jan 23 & 24, 2025

Gouache can provide limitless possibilities when working in color. This class will show how to mix and use it with pointed or broad pen, and give you ideas for using it in multiple ways to add a punch of color to your work. We will do several projects to explore the potential for blending color. You will learn: 1. How to mix gouache to achieve the color you are seeking to match, by using the basics of color theory. 2. How to choose color palettes, to evoke a feeling or emotion. 3. Write a piece of text with a variety of colors, blending them to achieve a unified composition. 4. Writing a piece of text on curved lines, melding colors as you progress through the writing. There will be no lettering instruction, students will work with lettering they are familiar with. I will be using a pointed pen for the demos, but the projects can be easily done with a broad pen as well. Guide lines will be provided for both types of lettering.
