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.
