You will then explore essential gouache techniques, including smooth sky blending, soft cloud creation, and painting distant landscapes with depth and balance.As the painting develops, you will learn how to create expressive trees, autumn foliage, fallen leaves, rocks, and textured ground using layered brushwork and colour variation. Special attention is given to understanding light direction, adding highlights and shadows, and knowing when to stop refining a painting.This course is not about perfection. It is about enjoying the painting process, learning to observe your work from a distance, and developing confidence in your own artistic voice.
