Oh My Gouache! 10 Things you must do to tame the beast! In recent years, you may have noticed on social media a resurgence in popularity of gouache. It is a really great medium for sketching and studies, due to its brilliant matte colors and portability. You may perhaps have even been curious enough to try it, only to discover how difficult it is to control it. In this workshop, I will break down the unique quirks and characteristics of the medium, and explain why it’s so difficult to control. And then, I will show you exactly what you need to do to overcome these annoying obstacles so that we may tame the beast. We will get to know the medium by working indoors, in a controlled environment using photo references. This stuff is hard enough without the added factors of weather and hauling gear, don’t you think? Once you gain a command of the medium, it just may become your favorite sketching medium both indoors and en plein air!

Biography: After graduating from Art Center College of Design in 1990, Terry Miura headed out to New York City to pay his dues. He began his career as a freelance illustrator, creating imagery for such clients as Time, Newsweek, Rollingstone, and Sports Illustrated, to name a few.In between illustration assignments he painted and exhibited cityscapes, and continued his transition to becoming a full time painter after returning to the West Coast in 1996.

Miura's evocative tonalist landscapes explore the relationship between memory, emotions, and identity. "Although they're still very much representational," says Miura, "they're not about specific locations. Well, actually they are, but the locations are found in my and the viewer's memories. Not out there in the physical world." With atmosphere, mood, and abstraction as driving characteristics of his work, Miura has, more recently been revisiting the complexities of the cityscape as a major part of his repertoire. Urban Aria, his latest solo exhibition at Thomas Reynolds Gallery in San Francisco, illustrates his mastery in this genre.

His works are represented by The Christopher Hill Gallery in St. Helena, Sekula's Fine Art in Sacramento, Sloane Merrill Gallery in Boston, and Holton Studio in Emeryville, Ca.
