This class will focus on painting a variety of costumes in gouache. Students will work from photo reference of costumes from various time periods in order to study quick indications, textures and folds. This class is great from someone who has some drawing skill and is just getting into using gouache for painting. Jeff will be coming around the class helping students with their paintings. The skills learned in this class can be applied to comprehensives for larger paintings or concept sketching.
