What is a gouache adventure?

Every month for the past couple of years I have created a collection of themed tutorials for the Get Gouachey community. Gouache Adventures are a curated selection of these tutorials for you to enjoy at your own pace and without a monthly subscription.

A gouache adventure is a mini creative escape to help you explore gouache in a fun and enjoyable way, with different themes to suit whatever creative adventure you're craving!

How the classes work...

Each tutorial has its own page where you'll find a video to watch, along with a supplies list, any reference photos you might need and a breakdown of the individual steps of the project.

You can move between the lessons using the navigation bar on the left side of the screen and you have a choice of short or real-time versions of each project; this is great for when you want to check out what's involved before sitting down to paint!
