New Course! Gouache Outdoors

**Authentically Human! Not Written by AI**

I’m pleased to announce that my new Plein Air Essentials course, Gouache Outdoors, is now ready for you! If you’ve been looking for a convenient and very portable plein air sketching medium, gouache is it.

The course features over two hours of video, three full demonstrations, plus plenty of discussion on gear and materials and process. What’s more, at the end of the course, I show you how I take the three demonstrations from the field and make final adjustments in the studio.

The price of the course is $24.99. but I will be giving monthly discounts to my web site visitors. Right now, until February 18, 2025, you can get it for only $17.99! Click here to have the coupon automatically applied to the course. (You can also just preview the course with the same link if you wish.)
