Unleashing the Power of Gouache: A Comprehensive Course

What Is Gouache?

Gouache, often labeled as "opaque watercolor," is distinct from watercolor, primarily due to its opacity compared to watercolor's transparency, despite both being water-soluble.

Immerse yourself in the vivid world of gouache in this engaging four-week class designed to spark creativity and enhance painting skills. This is more than just another painting course—it's an exploration of a versatile and expressive medium.

What you will Learn:

-The intriguing history and unique characteristics of gouache

-Live demonstrations showcasing essential techniques, from rich opaque layers to watercolor-like washes

-Adjusting gouache consistency for varied effects

-Key principles of color theory and practical tips for mixing and layering

-Fundamental composition skills for captivating artwork

Rodgers Naylor: A Few Shapes, A Few Values, A Few Colors (10/01/2026)

Thu, 01 Oct 2026 15:15:00 GMT

Thursdays, October 1 – October 22, 9:15 am - 12:15 pm - 4 Sessions

A Few Shapes, A Few Values, A Few Colors

How many shapes are just the right number in a painting? How many values? Colors? And how do you avoid making a jumble of too many colors on my canvas? What is mud? We'll address these and other questions in our search for the right amount of simplicity in our work. Life rarely hands us a perfect composition, so it's our job to edit and modify!

In all cases we'll stay focused on practical solutions using everyday knowledge and materials. The answers to our questions may vary from one painting to the next, depending on the design needs of each painting.

We'll start with brief comments by the instructor and a short demo, but plan to spend most of the class time working on your own art. This class is open to all levels. though a little bit of painting experience is helpful. If you're looking for a first-time-ever oil painting class then there are probably some better choices out there. This is an oil painting class, and while many issues are the same in any medium, the instructor will be better able to help you if you're working in oils.

I like to keep the atmosphere in my classes relaxed, friendly and supportive, and normally do not do group critiques at the end of the session. You'll be working on your own painting ideas so bring the ideas that you'd most love to paint!

LEVEL

All Levels

SUPPLIES THAT INSTRUCTOR WILL BRING

Students will bring their own supplies. I may have some extras on hand if needed.

PLEASE NOTE: Students are required to bring a container for acrylic and/or oil paint waste and will need to take it home to dispose of properly. It CANNOT be poured down the drains at our new location. Students are also encouraged to wipe brushes clean.

SUPPLIES TO BRING

Please bring:

- small sketch book: 8" x 10" or smaller

- pencils of varying hardness. I use 2H, HB and 3B

- Photo references or other ideas to work from. Bring several!!

- 1 - 2 canvases. If in doubt bring small ones, like 8" x 10" or 11" x 14". But bring the size you like to work with.

- Brushes of various sizes. I mostly work with Brights #2, #4 and #6, but I also use a #0 round for small details and an old filbert for getting rid of edges. And a #8 or larger to slather in washes in large shapes. But again if you've got favorites, bring them!

- Oil Paints. Bring the colors you like to work with but not too many. If you're not sure, I think that a good limited palette is: Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow Medium, Cadmium Red Light, Quinacridone Rose OR Permanent Alizarin, Cobalt Blue OR Ultramarine Blue, and a neutral such as Raw Umber or Burnt Umber.

- An easel (tabletop or standing)

- Paper towels or rags (I use Viva paper towels)

- Odorless mineral spirits like Gamsol (NO TURPENTINE PLEASE) and a small container to use them in (I use something called "SILICOIL") PLEASE NOTE: Students are required to bring a container for oil paint waste and will need to take it home to dispose of properly. It CANNOT be poured down the drains at our new location.

Rodgers gets most of his supplies at Meininger's or Guiry's, but they're largely available online, too.

About the Instructor

Light and depth are woven throughout Rodgers Naylor's oil paintings, and are always foremost in his mind as he paints. His landscapes reflect his love of exploring the world's natural and cultural wonders. Rodgers studied drawing at The Atelier in Minneapolis and painting at The Art Students League of Denver. The Atelier provided a rigorous approach to accurate drawing while at the Art Students League he learned a loose and painterly style of painting. These influences remain strong, and he enjoys sharing his wealth of knowledge with his students. Rodgers exhibits his work in galleries, juried shows, art festivals and other venues. He teaches both workshops and classes, including teaching for several years at the Park Hill Art Club.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

I've always been a dreamer, a romantic, and an artist. I've been told more than once that I have my 'head in the clouds.' I admit that is true. I see the world differently. Maybe that is why I like watercolor so much. It is fluid and free and has a hard time playing by the rules.

I received a traditional art education at both Michigan State University and Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, but I just couldn't seem to follow the rules either. I kept asking, "What if I did this?" Or, "What if I changed that?" Early on I developed a loose style of watercolor painting and over time it has evolved to a very loose style. I start a story with my paintings but then, I want the person looking at them to find their own story and finish what I started. That is how I connect with the collector, by creating a story telling relationship. I want to do more than paint a pretty picture. I want to create art that connects us through thoughts, memories, feelings, and beauty.
