In this workshop, you will learn to swap realistic colors for bright hues. Sarah Laree will demonstrate her style of painting colorful streetscapes in a unique palette. Sarah will show you her process of setting up a palette, mixing colors, planning color for an illustration and more acrylic gouache techniques. She will also share some paintings from her sketchbook, and process of illustrating from travel photos. You can paint along with her photo example or choose your own.

Suggested Materials

• Acrylic Gouache paint (Sarah’s favorite brand is Holbein) - a set of cmyk primaries: cyan, yellow, magenta, plus black and white

• Paper: hot-pressed watercolor paper (smooth surface, 140lb)

• Ruler or straight edge to tear paper

• Brushes: 4 Round, 2 Round, 1/4” Bright - if you don’t have these, any brush you have on hand will do :)

• Stay-wet palette (or any air-tight palette) - you can also use a ceramic plate or palette for mixing instead

• A jar for water and paint cloth (or paper towel)

• Colored pencil (any color, Sarah usually uses Prismacolor light cerulean blue)
