Illusion of Light
with Zoungy Kligge

In this workshop, we will explore how to create the illusion of light and depth using gouache paint. We’ll begin with a fundamental lesson on gouache techniques, including opacity control, blending, and layering. A discussion on light, shadow, and color theory will help deepen our understanding of how light interacts with different surfaces and atmospheric conditions. Using a carefully selected photo reference, we will apply these concepts to create a dynamic and luminous painting. This workshop is perfect for artists looking to enhance their ability to capture light realistically while gaining confidence in using gouache as a medium.
