Gouache, painting the little joys

Gouache Painting the little joys Gouache, often associated with our first artistic steps at school, reveals itself to be much more than a simple instrument of discovery.   Gouache was widely used by great artists such as Odilon Redon, Picasso, Matisse and Kandinsky. 

They appreciated its matte and velvety finish, its simple use, its vibrant colors as well as the visual games and textures it allows. Whether you are a novice or an artist looking for inspiration, this art teaching book accompanies you at every stage of your artistic journey. Marie Deligny introduces you to gouache painting in a fun way by sharing her experience as an illustrator of life's little moments and through illustrated step-by-step instructions.   It's difficult to resist the freshness of its characters and this cheerful and peaceful universe. Learn to combine gouache with other artistic mediums such as colored pencils, felt-tip pens, etc.   Much more than a technical guide, this book encourages regular practice and a caring approach towards oneself. 

Marie invites you to keep a painting notebook, to experiment without fear, and to give free rein to your spontaneous creativity.  "Gouache" is a source of inspiration, practical advice and comfort for every artist, novice or experienced.
