Gouache and Art History

Gouache and Art History

Here is a good article on the history of Gouache.

Here is John Singer Sargent with pencil, gouache, and watercolor.

Last day of watercolor class

Today was the last day of my beginning watercolor class at Petersen Barn in Eugene. This is the demo I did. The class will start up again January 9, 2013.

on Wednesdays 9:30a-12:30 January 9 - February 27

Advanced Watercolor

Petersen Barn Community Center

You can sign up online too! 

In the beginning class I usually have a project ready to go. Students come with their own painting equipment and start painting. If you are brand new to painting there are some materials available to get started on the first day. I can help you figure out what to buy.

In Advanced class students are more self directed but I always have some projects ready in case you are uninspired. I do demonstrations and work one on one.

Send me an email if you have questions.

Painting Demo at the Duck Store

• Stop-in-Studio: Oil Painting: Layer by Layer with John Holdway
• Date: Saturday, October 13th, 2012
• Time: 2 p.m.-4 p.m.

Join us for an oil painting demonstration with talented artist John Holdway. John will begin his discussion with under-painting techniques and how to choose pigments and mediums. John's main focus will be on layering methods and mastering control of opacity and transparency within your oil painting. John is a proponent of depicting realism, however, the techniques he'll use could be applied to a variety of other painting styles. Many oil painters have moved to non-toxic materials and methods and John will speak to these as well.

Drop-in to watch John work, ask technical questions, and glean insight into his artistic process. http://www.johnholdway.com

Attend the demo and receive 20% Off All Paints and Mediums!
