I hope you can join me for this all-inclusive Plein Air Painting with Gouache Workshop & Retreat!
Join Artist Cory Wright and learn to capture your own version of the Italian countryside using gouache- a fun, versatile, & easily portable opaque watercolor medium, perfect for on-the-go travel, creating postcard size paintings.
No previous experience needed, just an open mind and a willingness to learn! Cory will do daily demos and provide individual instruction as you paint together at various locations throughout the week. She will share with you the flexibility and versatility of Gouache and how it can enhance your creativity and “playtime.”
You will observe her methods up close as she guides you in how to use various techniques to create strong compositions, mix the colors you want, loosen up your brushwork, make every brushstroke count and eliminate fussy detail by focusing on the big shapes first.
At the end of your week in Le Marche, as well as having gained new friends and cultural experiences, you will come away refreshed and reenergized, with a stack of postcard-sized visual memories of your Italian adventure and the confidence to enhance your painting practice in the future!
