YS25 Gouache Landscapes | Homeschool | 6-8
Class - Youth | Available
Gouache (pronounced gwaash) is a versatile and fun paint often called an “opaque
watercolor”.
Painting landscapes with gouache paint creates vivid and stunning scenes, with the
ability to easily cover previous paint layers and correct areas of dissatisfaction. This four-week class will guide you through how to use gouache paint to create beautiful landscapes. We will paint ocean, mountain, and meadow scenes, and students will be able to design and paint their own landscape, as well. Throughout this class we will discuss color and
composition and learn a variety of brush techniques to make fun and engaging landscapes.
Ages 6-8 | Homeschool
To ensure that students thrive and succeed, it is important to adhere to the age guidelines.

CLASS INFORMATION:
What to Wear: Art gets messy, so wear clothing suitable for an artist! It sometimes gets chilly in the studios, so an extra layer is recommended.
What to Bring: Sawtooth will provide all materials and supplies needed for class. Students are welcome to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated and a snack to be eaten during a break.
While parents and guardians are more than welcome to stay in the building, we kindly ask that you don't stay with your children during the class. We've found that this can sometimes hinder the creative process.
Parking: Lastly, metered parking is available on Marshall and Spruce Street and is free on evenings and weekends.
Please note that face coverings are now optional on Sawtooth's campus, including in all studios. We ask that you remain respectful of all students and keep in mind that Sawtooth is an inclusive environment. We want everyone to feel supported, safe, and welcome on campus. They're available at our front desk if you need a disposable mask.

Born and raised in the foothills of North Carolina, Sarah Katherine Booze has been drawing and painting since the age of 12 but started her professional art career in 2017. A self-taught artist, Sarah always found herself drawn to the beauty and wonder of the natural landscapes of the world and began to paint the places around her. Her paintings are inspired by her home in North Carolina, as well as the many places she travels.
Through color, brushwork, and composition, her art illustrates the tranquility and allure of nature. The landscapes she paints possess a quiet simplicity which invites the viewer to dive in and sit for a while.
