What is Gouache? is a free demonstration by June Musick, Sat. April 26, from 1-3 pm.

Gouache was first used in France in the 18th century.  It is a water-based paint with higher pigment than watercolor.  It dries fast, can be re-wetted, and leaves a matte finish   June will offer her insights and experiences using this type of paint.
