About this workshop

During this two session workshop, we will paint a still life using acryl gouache, Bodil Jane’s go-to paint. Inspired by a selection of hand-picked objects from her personal collection, we will be working on a painting from sketch to final. The matte finish of gouache paint will allow you to carefully layer each object of the still life, and work either detailed or rough. If you love color and interesting, quirky objects, you will probably enjoy this one! No experience needed, it is totally OK if this is your first time using gouache, although it might take a bit of effort to learn.

The workshop is run across two sessions: The first session (Friday, 11 April 2025) is all about learning how to work with acryl gouache. By the end of the session you have practiced with the material and completed some small exercises. At the start of the second session (Friday, 18 April 2025) you will create a sketch for the final still life, which you will work on during the rest of the afternoon (and hopefully finish).

This workshop will be held in a small group of 8.
