Learn how to paint gouache portraits!
Gouache Portrait Masterclass is an immersive video course that will teach you how to paint gouache portraits in your own unique style.
You'll learn step-by-step how to paint beautiful and realistic portraits. In every lesson I'll show you what I'm doing in real time as well as explain why I'm doing it.
This isn't a bunch of theory or a high-end art school - this is ready to apply, immediately useful information from a professional artist.
Watching my process takes out a lot of the intimidation factor for people who are just starting out with gouache painting and it helps experienced painters process subjects quickly and easily.
Let me demonstrate just how easy painting can be, and give you the jump start that you need to master this skill of painting typically reserved for only professionals!

What do I need to begin?

Can I use another medium?
The class is painted with gouache, but you can as well use acrylic or acrylagouache, which is a matte acrylic. Watercolor and oil painting wouldn’t be suitable though.

Outstanding class!
What a fantastic class! I always found the prospect of painting portraits daunting, but Cecile breaks it down into manageable steps. I felt I had successfully achieved my goals by the end of the class, and confident I could achieve good results moving forward on my own.

Excellent gouache and portrait course
This course takes patience, but worth the time! Cecile is so warm and friendly, she makes approaching difficult topics inviting. I could see myself taking this class again in a few years as a rigorous way to practice painting skills. Thank you!

So stimulating and rich - First review
I’m arrived here after the fantastic and funny Portrait Party and now I’ m in this course more complex but so stimulating , I ‘m a beginner with colours and this course , that I attend slowly it seems to me a jump to a sort of semiprofessional level , because Cecile is so precise and explain completely way of seeing and blending colors. So satisfied to be in

Gouache Portrait Masterclass
This is an interim review because Gouache Portrait Masterclass is so awesome that I am not rushing. This course is very detailed which is fabulous, to have so many options to practise and I enjoy practicing. Seeing improvement is important, but to have covered enough techniques to choose the approach best for me to continue with portraits. My greatest joy will be sketching and painting my daughter who is just 40 years, a naturally very attractive woman. Sooo watch out for my next review as I work thru and grow!
