The Art of Small Things: Mini Painting in Gouache with Jessica Tamlin

In this three-hour workshop, each participant will receive a curated Mini Gouache Art Kit to use during class — and to take home afterward.We’ll begin with a simple colour-mixing exploration using a mini colour wheel, learning how a limited primary palette can open into a full range of harmonious tones.From there, I’ll guide participants step-by-step through painting a delicate wildflower study in miniature — slowing down to notice subtle shifts in light, layering colour gently, and allowing the small scale to sharpen our attention.If time allows, participants are invited to begin a second small painting inspired by their own reference photo, applying the techniques explored during the session.No prior experience is necessary. All materials are included. Participants will leave with a finished miniature wildflower painting, a reusable mini frame, and a complete gouache kit to continue painting at home.
