Get started with gouache—the paint that’s hard to spell but easy to love. It’s a form of watercolor that dries fast, travels well, and cleans up easily. Hone your skills with this groundbreaking guide by acclaimed painter and bestselling author James Gurney.

This comprehensive guide to gouache grew out of Dinotopia creator and New York Times bestselling author James Gurney's long-running love affair with opaque watercolor. Gurney's instructional videos on YouTube have attracted half a million subscribers and millions of views, and his decades of experience in artistic instruction make him the perfect ambassador and instructor for this rapidly growing, readily accessible, and artistically rewarding form of painting. In this book you'll learn the fine art of painting on location, the nuances of capturing still life as well as human subjects, and the joys and challenges of working with this lively, versatile, and vivid medium.
