Angela is on the faculty for the inaugural Gouache Live online art conference, coming up August 23, 2025, where she’ll help simplify the process of choosing colors. She said she plans to demonstrate a mountain landscape, and will focus on how to put down “quick and accurate colors.”
Gouache LIVE (August 23, 2025) is about rewiring how you see, think, and create as an artist while giving you a fresh sense of creative freedom, whether you’re picking up gouache for the first time or ready to explore! Maybe you’ve tried oils. Acrylic. Watercolor. But gouache is different. Learn why at GouacheLive.com. (No tech skills? No problem! If you can click a link, you can join our event!)
Ask any seasoned painter, and they’ll tell you — gouache is one of the art world’s best-kept secrets.
It may resemble watercolor at first glance, but it handles with the richness and control of oil. Gouache dries quickly, packs light, and gives you the freedom to layer, shape, and adjust without overthinking. That’s exactly why more and more top artists are turning to gouache — it gives them the bold, expressive results they want, with the speed and control they need.
Why try gouache?
- It gives you the freedom to work quickly without sacrificing vibrancy, so you can capture the energy of a scene in the moment it inspires you.
- Gouache dries quickly, cleans up with water, and fits in a backpack — perfect for plein air, travel, or spontaneous sketchbook sessions.
- This medium is forgiving — just re-wet, lift, or paint over areas until it feels right. That means more freedom, less frustration, and better results.
- Gouache gives you total control — light to dark, bold to subtle. Layer light over dark, blend edges, and sculpt shapes with painterly brushwork — all without waiting hours between layers.
- Use it for quick studies, to plan your compositions, or to test color ideas before committing on canvas.
