DESCRIPTION

In this workshop, we will explore the versatility of gouache, a water-based paint with a little bit of the best properties of watercolor, oil, and acrylic all in one medium. Traditionally developed as a commercial graphic medium, gouache is a richly-pigmented, water soluble opaque paint that is great in the studio and easy to use while traveling. We will explore the paint’s unique strengths, application, color mixing, and preparation for exhibiting finished works. The instructor, Justin Shull, will also bring completed examples of his work in gouache to discuss.

Gouache is one of the most versatile watercolor mediums available, as it can be used on paper or canvas. Gouache is a great medium for beginners because it’s easy to use and has a lovely opaque quality. It’s also a popular choice for artists who create artworks in other media such as oil, acrylic and pastel because it can be used as an underpainting to create rich layers of color. It can also be used on its own, without any other mediums or supports. The opaque quality of the paint allows you to layer on the color without losing detail or having your brushstrokes show through.

Justin finds inspiration the landscape. He is especially interested in the interaction between the built environment and its geography, trees and plants, and in the quality of light and color unique to each location.  In his paintings, trees, buildings, telephone poles, plants and geography are all cast members interacting on a stage. The story they tell is the story of how we create our environment and how it shapes us. Justin thinks of each painting as building an image that captures something of an individual landscape’s growth and it’s unique environmental conditions. He works in a variety of media, including oil paint, gouache, acrylic, and wood, handmade paper, and sculpture.

Justin Shull was born in Newport, New Hampshire in 1982 and currently lives and works in Traverse City, Michigan. Justin received a BA in Studio Art from Dartmouth College and a MFA in Visual Arts from Rutgers. His work has been exhibited and collected nationally, and he has won several national awards from the Joan Mitchell Foundation, the College Art Association, and the International Sculpture Center.
