About this Event

Join the McLean Art Society for “All About Gouache,” a free artist talk and live demonstration with painter and teacher Jane McElvany Coonce.

🗓 Friday, May 15 at 11 am

Artists have been using gouache in various forms for centuries, and for good reason. This versatile medium combines the best qualities of several painting traditions. It offers the water-based cleanup like watercolor, the quick-drying convenience like acrylic, and the rich, opaque color like oil.

During this engaging session, Jane will demonstrate her approach to gouache and share practical insights into how it can be used to create expressive, vibrant works. Whether you’re new to gouache or looking to expand your techniques, this presentation will provide inspiration and a deeper understanding of this dynamic medium.

✨ Free and open to the public
