Digital Gouache Masterclass: Paint Textured Illustrations on Your Tablet

Learn the core gouache moves — blocking flat shapes, layering opaque passes, and dragging a dry brush for grain — using a small set of tablet brushes. You will finish a guided still-life that builds confidence with value, edge control, and clean-up.

Loose Botanical Gouache — Build Delicate Floral Studies

Explore botanical painting by shaping petals and foliage with soft washes, restrained color choices, and the small details that make a study feel observed rather than copied. Strengthen your control of brush pressure and layering to keep the artwork lively.

Color Studies: Mixing Muted Palettes with Confidence

Finish the path by building your own palettes — mixing greys that still carry a hue, testing three-color limits, and keeping a swatch library you can reuse across projects. Every exercise ends with a small painted card you can pin above the desk.
