Gouache Landscapes with Laura Bifano
About This Experience
Laura Bifano will demonstrate her unique technique for creating luminous gouache paintings. She will begin with a warm underpainting that sets a vibrant tone for the artwork. Gradually, she will build the opacity of the Gouache in layers, adding depth and richness to the colours and creating a beautiful interplay of light. By the end of the demonstration, viewers will understand how to achieve luminous effects with this versatile medium.
