Skillshare - Gouache Portrait #001

This class focuses on creating a Gouache painting a portrait in a whimsical way. You will see my example worked through from beginning to end. We are using watercolour for the painting. Just follow and repeat what is done in the class. Colour palette will be listed below. Paintings will be created in any brand of gouache.
