What They Say About Our Course

"I had followed your Instagram for years and after graduating I knew The Art of the Gouache was my best chance to learn gouache so I decided to give the online course a chance, and it was worth every penny! I learned the techniques I love in depth and still revisit them often. Though gouache isn’t always the first choice for fast-paced work, they are a high-end option that sets my designs apart. Even in my digital work, I apply the same principles, and feel like that gives my drawings a warm, paper-like quality that I adore."
