Gouache Botanicals

Middle school art students were inspired by nature for a recent project. Students researched flowering plants and selected a plant to study more in depth. Paying close attention to bark, leaves, berries, petals, and other elements of the botanicals, students created a painting. Gouache, which is a heavily pigmented and opaque watercolor, was used for this project to allow texture and color to shine through. #wearesaintjamesschool
