This class delves into the transparent and opaque qualities of watercolor and gouache and focuses on tonal value and layering techniques that you can use to create plaid patterns that will give you all the warm and cozy seasonal feels!
After a brief introduction to our chosen mediums and how to achieve tonal value with them, we will warm up with some brief exercises and learn some techniques on how to achieve broad, flat washes.  Then, we will explore different ways of layering with both watercolor and gouache. We will use our warm-up knowledge to create three different, yet cohesive patterns.  Proper paint and brush techniques, as well as color theory,  are discussed along the way, so whether you are a beginner or a seasoned artist, you will come away from this class with new ideas and be excited to experiment with unlimited patterns and color combinations!
Painting these patterns is a fun and meditative experience, and once you get the feel for layering, the possibilities are endless!  Painted plaid patterns make great art statements by themselves, but they can also be used to create original gift tags, bookmarks, greeting cards, and more!
