Learning path

Gouache on a Tablet

A project-led path that teaches you to build opaque, hand-mixed-looking paintings on a tablet. It starts with the tools and a small brush kit, then moves through flat blocking, edge control, and the layering order that keeps colour from turning muddy. You will paint loose florals, a coastal landscape, and one full still life, choosing composition and value deliberately rather than by accident. The later classes cover the working habits — file setup, brush economy, knowing when a study is finished — that carry over to any painting you start after the path ends.
