In it, you'll rewire how you see, think, and create as an artist while gaining a fresh sense of creative freedom.

Co-Host

Scott Christensen

Scott Christensen grew up in Lander, Wyoming, a place of extreme geography and wild beauty. There his aesthetic developed.

For over 40 years, Scott has pursued painting with the discipline he once brought to sports. The atypical combination of athleticism, scholarly curiosity, and an ardent desire to experience nature became the alchemy of his success.

Although finished at the easel, most of his paintings begin as plein air studies. They end up in prestigious gallery and museum shows, as well as in major collections, like Prix de West and in the permanent collection of Grand Teton National Park’s Craig Thomas Visitors' Center.

Meditate on a Christensen landscape, just as he did the place that inspired it. If it resonates with you, then he has succeeded as a conduit of nature’s true expression. He hopes that you, too, will get outside and be uplifted by nature’s beauty, but in lieu of that, his paintings will more than suffice.

Here is what to expect
when you attend Gouache Live

Before this event

  • Struggling with chalky, streaky layers and wondering why your paint dries darker (or lighter) than expected.
  • Overworking your painting because you’re unsure when to stop — or how to fix mistakes without ruining everything.
  • Confused about how much water to use — too dry and it drags, too wet and it acts like watercolor.
  • Feeling limited by traditional techniques and unsure how gouache can be both bold and subtle.
  • Hesitating with every brushstroke because you're scared of "messing it up."
  • Watching pro gouache videos online, but never getting the same look — and unsure what you're missing.
  • Feeling creatively blocked, uninspired, or bored with your current medium and craving something fresh.
Image
Image

After this event

  • ​Understand how gouache truly behaves — including water control, reactivation, and drying shifts — so you can use it to your advantage.
  • Know how to build up and layer paint intentionally — and how to rescue a painting without starting over.
  • Master the balance between opacity and transparency to create beautiful textures, depth, and mood.
  • Use gouache for expressive, fluid work or tight, detailed pieces — and confidently switch between the two.
  • Paint with clarity and boldness, knowing that gouache lets you fix, revise, and explore without fear.
  • Learn from real-time demos that break down the exact process pros use — not just the end result.
  • Leave recharged with new creative tools, fresh momentum, and the inspiration to bring your next idea to life with gouache.

I’ve already purchased a ticket, how do I upgrade to get longer replays.

It’s Simple. Just click here to Upgrade Your Ticket link.

Unsure if Gouache Live is for you?

Before we jump into the FAQs, we wanted to quickly address a few common hesitations we hear — and how we help ease them. If you’re wondering about something, chances are you’re not alone!

I'd like to attend, but it’s too pricey for me right now

We get it—budgets are tight. That’s why we’ve priced this course at less than you would pay for a weekend in-person workshop — less than your cable bill! Plus, you can pay in instalments through ShopPay if that works better for you. You’ll save money by learning skills to paint with what you already have, no fancy extras needed.

I’m scared I won’t be able to keep up with the live sessions

No pressure here — this isn’t a race! Our live classes are made for all levels including beginners who would benefit from our one-day Essential Techniques class first. It will help give you core essential skills as a refresher or for complete beginners. There plenty of time to follow along. You don’t have to paint along or keep notes. Just watching and learning will be helpful! Every session is recorded, so you can re-watch and practice at your own pace — no stress, just fun! Everyone gets a replay package, but you can choose to extend it for more time if you wish.

Tech gives me a headache and it's too complicated

Tech’s not your thing? No problem—we’ve got your back. You’ll get a simple ‘click here’ link — and if anything goes wonky, our friendly team is just a phone call away to walk you through it. We have 'how-to' videos too. No yelling at the screen required!

I don’t have time for live stuff

Busy days? We’ve got flexible times—pick from morning, afternoon, or evening sessions to fit your life. Miss one? No biggie — watch the replay recording whenever you’re free, even if it’s 10 minutes while the kids or grandkids nap.

Free YouTube videos are right there

Sure, YouTube is free—but it’s a jumble of ads and guesswork. With Gouache Live, you get 20+ of the top gouache masters — most who are too busy for YouTube. These world-class instructors will answer your questions live plus offer a clear step-by-step plan. No pausing and rewinding a million times—just results you’ll love.

I’m not sure it’s worth it

Wondering if it’s legit? We’ve got hundreds of happy students who’ve gone from “what’s a brush?” to painting gifts for their kids. Try us risk-free — if you don’t love the first day let us know by the end of the day, we’ll refund you 100%, no questions asked — and you’ll end up with the first day free.

My supplies are a mess

You don't have to paint along. You can just watch. That’s what most people do. If you see something you want, you can always experiment with it later while watching replays on your schedule. No need for new gear — use whatever you’ve got! Old paints, beat-up brushes, even a paper plate for a palette — we’ll show you how to make it work. This course is about creativity, not a shopping list.

I hate being watched

Shy about your art? Relax—you’re in control. Keep your camera off, no sharing required. Ask questions privately in the chat if you want. It’s your space to learn, not perform.

It feels like homework

This isn’t school — no homework, no deadlines! Paint when you feel like it, skip when you don’t. We’re here to spark joy, not add chores. You’ll want to keep going because it’s just that fun.

I might not stick with it

Worried you’ll drop out? We keep it short and sweet — each class demonstration is about 60 to 90 minutes. Stick around and you’ll be amazed at what you’ve made. No guilt, just a win you’ll brag about!

Learn gouache painting live online—for just $47.
