Dingler, Fred – Painting with Gouache
Archived Class Materials Lists
- I have worked with Gouache for 40 years. Gouache is an opaque cousin of watercolor. Watercolor is a stain and Gouache is paint
- There are many brands of paint. My favorite is Winsor & Newton Designers Gouache
- To work in black and white, students can start with Titanium White and Ivory Black
- Add color with this palette: Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow, Cadmium Red Light, and Ultramarine Blue. (Great way to learn to mix color)
- Or start with any colors, student’s choice
- Brushes for gouache are the same as watercolor brushes. Good brushes are a must. Rounds and Flats. Not bristle brushes
- Plastic palette or ordinary dinner plate
- Water container
- Pencils and erasers
- Best surface is Illustration Board. Watercolor paper is ok (not hot press)
