Intro to Gouache - Workshop

Intro to Gouache with Kels

Gouache from the ground up - no experience necessary! We will cover what makes gouache unique, drawing for painting, colour mixing, and more. Kels will teach you how to paint subjects like delicious food and beloved pets. Six classes will finish with a project of your choice.

Artist Bio:

Kels tried many careers before finally admitting in her thirties that art was the only sustainable path for her. Creating has been a throughline all of her life, even when it didn’t feel playful. She feels most content these days building community and a body of work while live streaming on Twitch. A normal broadcast can range from animating something silly to painting a still life alla prima – but it always includes a detailed explanation of her process and reasoning.

She’s beginning to understand how an art career is just an art life and that any idea can be translated into shapes and shadows. In her studio there are several digital, gouache and oil paintings in various stages of completion at any given time. In her work you will find her impressions of the world around us in all its colours.

Kels has pieces across Canada, USA, United Kingdom, Finland, France and New Zealand.
