Gouache, body color, or opaque watercolor, is one type of watermedia, paint consisting of natural pigment, water, a binding agent, and sometimes additional inert material. Gouache is designed to be opaque. To give our Circle Members the experience to learn and enlighten themselves about this traditional art form, Rajasthan Studio curated a special workshop and invited Umashree Taparia.
Umashree Taparia is a Chartered Accountant by profession, and an artist by heart! She has always been creative i.e making gifts and cards for her loved ones, but never took it so seriously as a profession until lockdown happened. She says that she is happy at this moment as she has started taking art as a priority and since then it has become a part of her everyday life. It’s her best time of the day to relax and be at peace with herself. she adds that she has been trying to learn new mediums and techniques since then! The mediums she absolutely loves working with are Gouache and Watercolour.
