The Gouaché in High Jewelry 3: Materials (3h)

Before taking shape in the hands of artisans, every jewelry creation begins with lines and colors on paper. The gouaché technique consists of representing the three-dimensional volumes of a piece of jewelry on a flat drawing.  

In this third course devoted to gouaché, take a paintbrush and let yourself be guided as you explore how to translate light, texture, and contrasts with gouache that bring a jewel to life.  

Use your imagination as you create the jewelry motif of an Art Deco-inspired brooch, incorporating a jade ring and a white pearl, among other elements in onyx and diamonds. Throughout the course, which combines explanations with hands-on exercises, the jewel takes shape under your brush: reflections emerge, textures appear, and volumes are revealed. After the class, bring your gouaché painting home.  

Two other courses are devoted to this technique of High Jewelry design: "The Gouaché in High Jewelry 1 - The Light" and "The Gouaché in High Jewelry 2: The Color". It is recommended to follow them in this order. 

• You are welcomed by your lecturers, and a refreshment is offered to you before the class starts.

• All necessary equipment is provided on site.
• A certificate is given at the end of the class along with a list of recommendations of books, podcasts, websites, museums related to the course attended.
