Learn to paint an autumn forest landscape in gouache with artist Mike Thomas (@mikethomas.art) in this 30-minute art class. He’ll show you how to truly capture the atmosphere and colour of the fall season on an Etchr postcard. You’ll use a simple autumnal palette, wet on wet, and dry brushing techniques. You’ll see how to simplify shapes, combine gouache and pens to create vibrant artwork, and use your colours to their fullest potential.
