Besides Stephen Coates, Mr.Ford produces books that are easy to learn a lot from
His teaching skill, whether pastels, watercolor and now gouache, is clear, succint, deep2 of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you?Excellent introduction to gouache painting.
I agree with the previous reviewers comments. The book gives a number of ways to work with gouache and demonstrates the process. Myself I feel Gouache is a very under rated medium. It is very versatile great for loose and detailed work. No mediums to add or retarders, boosters or whatever. Just add a little water.
