Oh My Gouache!

Oh My Gouache! is a comprehensive beginner's guide to the wonderful world of painting with gouache. Author Zoe Ingram shares her wealth of knowledge about getting started with gouache painting. Why gouache? Because this exciting paint medium can create amazing opaque graphic effects that are more vibrant than traditional watercolours - you can layer it, paint on dark backgrounds, rework and much more.

Zoe's distinctive art style makes this book a visual treat as she shows you how to paint a variety of subjects from birds and bugs, to flowers and foliage, to abstract collages, hand lettering and patterns. Along the way you'll learn about colour theory, colour mixing, sketching, washes, mark making, line work, overlaying, working on dark backgrounds, how to get crisp edges, how to add details, different approaches to collage and even how to digitise your work so that you can create repeat patterns and custom prints.

Beautifully illustrated, expertly explained and a riot of colour . The perfect instructional book for the artroom and at home.
