Create a Vibrant Aspen Tree Landscape: Gouache & Pastel Workshop with Eric Matranga
If you’re looking for a creative escape that combines fine art with a bit of fun, join us for a special Gouache & Pastel Workshop on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. Led by artist Eric Matranga, this workshop will guide you through creating a beautiful aspen tree landscape using gouache and pastel pencils. It’s a fantastic way to explore new techniques and enjoy a unique art experience, especially suited for those who want to dive into color and form with a twist.
What’s Special About Gouache?
Gouache is an opaque watercolor paint that stands out for its bold, vibrant quality. Unlike traditional watercolors, which are more translucent, gouache allows for layering and vivid detailing. It’s an ideal medium for capturing the bright whites and yellows of aspen trees against the crisp autumn or winter sky. Eric will guide participants through using gouache to bring out these striking contrasts, blending in pastel pencils to add rich textures and enhance the scene’s depth.
What to Expect
This workshop is designed for adults, ages 21 and up, who want to spend a couple of hours sipping wine and learning new art techniques in a relaxed, friendly setting. Eric will demonstrate each step, from sketching out the scene to applying layers of color with gouache and adding delicate touches with pastel pencils. Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, you’ll come away with a beautiful piece of art—and perhaps a new passion for gouache painting!
