On the surface, gouache (pronounced ‘gwash’) and watercolor seem confusingly similar. Gouache is a member of the watermedia family and can absolutely be used like watercolor. However, in this class, Monochromatic Textural Gouache Floral in Procreate, we will create the flat style digital gouache painting style reminiscent of 70’s advertising. This style is really oh so popular right now, and we will do it in Procreate! You'll learn the basics of the flat digital gouache digital painting style and how to create a chunky, bold floral artwork. To make this even more fun and challenging, we will create it all in one color!

There are a dozen Procreate gouache paint brushes included with your enrollment, so you can follow along with every video. I have even included 5 floral outline brushes to jumpstart your sketch if you need them. Nothing beats traditional painting and those happy accidents that can happen with gouache. Digital painting can be equally fun, therapeutic and relaxing, and it can really up your illustration game. Restricting yourself to one color is a fun challenge too because there is no way your artwork’s color scheme cannot work.

This class, Monochromatic Textural Gouache Floral in Procreate, will show you some of my illustration and color choice methodology. In the class, I take you from start to finish in creating a complete illustration. One of my goals is to show you how you can sell your work once it is created. We explore the Society 6 website and important considerations in sizing your art.

In this class I’ll walk you through:

• creating a sketch to guide us with the painting
• manipulating layers to be as efficient as possible
• my workflow for use of layers and other great features like snapping
• working with a monochromatic color scheme
• methods for keeping the art fully editable for later adjustments and recoloring 

Join me in this class to paint a gouache illustration on your iPad in Procreate. I am going to walk you through all the steps to creating a digital gouache painting and you’ll learn all the skills you need to make more artwork in the future with this style.
