Artist James Gurney shares how he paints from life using his portable gouache setup. He'll start with a digital presentation to give an overview of his painting process in opaque water media, including gouache, casein, and watercolor. After a quick demo, we'll all work together on some basic exercises to get comfortable with the unique properties of gouache. In the afternoon session, you'll be able to paint in the classroom from a range of seasonal blooms provided by NYBG.
