CLASSICAL REALISM: PENCIL WITH WHITE GOUACHE, INKS AND WASHES

An Old “New” Approach to Drawing and Gouache Painting

Recently, while traveling abroad, Stephanie developed a “new” way to create stunning tonal Gouache Paintings. In this workshop, Stephanie will help you create small jewel-like paintings with three mechanical pencils, ink, a kneaded eraser, brushes, and white gouache on toned paper. Working from an iPhone, iPad, or hard copy photos, participants can use any preferred subject, whether from travels abroad or simply animals, figures, or portraits. Stephanie is well known for her ability to help each person find their own unique drawing ability, in their own way, without feeling overwhelmed. A great way to improve your technique for water-based media and beyond!
