Let me show you step by step how to paint this contemporary gouache painting of a beautiful lighthouse in Santa Cruz, California. You'll learn how to paint sunset colors, a spashing wave, reflected sunlight and sparkle on the water and how to create depth in the distant coastline. You'll also learn how to make the lighthouse look 3D and paint dynamic sea rocks.
I'll explain and demonstrate a variety of techniques to help you understand how to paint with this gorgeous medium. We will explore how to layer gouache, how to mix colors without making mud! How to make the paint look luminous and of course, brush techniques

I use Royal Talens Gouache, there is a set of 8 tubes that are
great to start with.
The 8 tube set includes
1.) White
2.) Lemon yellow
3.) Yellow
4.) Ultramarine deep
4.) Light blue cyan
6.) Black intenso
7.) Vermillion
8.) Permanent rose magenta
In addition to the colors included in the 8-tube set, I also sometimes use
1.) Naples Yellow
2.) Turquoise Green
3.) Lilac

Squeeze your colors out onto any watercolor palette or gouache palette. Seal your colors with plastic wrap when not using.
Brushes:
I use watercolor brushes, round size #8 and or #6, a Black Velvet cats tongue brush 3/4”, and possibly a small round such as a #2 or 4.
I paint on watercolor paper, the size is up to you, the demonstration will be on a 9" x 12" block of Rembrandt watercolor paper.
You'll also need a cup of water, a few paper towels, and a #2 pencil or leadholder and a white plastic eraser.
