Welcome to Month 3 of our 6-Month Gouache Journey with Emily Hughes! 🎨✨

In this box, you’ll be drawing an eye using gouache. This project is a great way to explore observation, shading, and detail while learning how to create depth and realism in your artwork.

Emily will guide you step by step as you build the structure, tones, and highlights of the eye. This focused study is an important preparation for your final painting, helping you develop the skills and confidence you’ll need for the last project. By the end, you’ll have a strong foundation in place and a detailed study to be proud of. 🎨✨
