Painting metals
Discover the ultimate online course on painting metals with gouache. Empower yourself to create stunning jewelry illustrations.
WITH GOUACHE
Jewellery gouache painting is a precise and creative craft, treasured in historical jewellery houses as an important part of their heritage. Every jewellery drawing is a tiny masterpiece seen to hold the same importance as a jewellery piece itself.

Painting metals with gouache course is designed to focus on depicting yellow, white and rose gold or silver jewellery. In other words, predominantly highly polished metal surfaces and volumes.

It requires a basic experience in gouache painting as it might be challenging for complete beginners to paint small scale objects and maintain a right consistency of paint to achieve a satisfying result. If you are a complete beginner in this technique we advice you to start with our Drawing Gems Foundation course.

ART OF JEWELLERY GOUACHE PAINTING
If you love jewellery and are fascinated by the magic of a jewellery drawing.
It is suitable for beginners and experienced jewellery artists, who have not yet studied the nuances of light, shadows in cabochons and faceted cuts.

After the background in academic drawing from the art and architecture schools she developed her jewellery design skills at Creative Academy - private design school by Richemont group in Milan. There she worked on real projects for Richemont brands such as Van Cleef and Arpels, Vacheron Constantine, Roger Dubuis and others, followed by an internship in Van Cleef and Arpels design department in Paris.

Combining her drawing skills with extensive practical experience in the industry she worked out the series of jewellery drawing programs of different levels for jewellery designers and lovers. Since 2016 Inesa has been teaching around the globe. For her masterclasses she collaborated with different art and design institutions, including Victoria and Albert museum in London.

Curiosity about life in all its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people.
