The Gouaché in High Jewelry 2: The Color
Using different paint colors, discover how color enables the designer to reproduce color and shape of stones on a Gouaché
Creating a piece of High Jewelry starts with a “gouaché”: a painted sketch
The gouaché will act as a guide for all the craftsmen involved— mock-up makers, jewelers, gemologists, and stone setters.
At L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts, two classes 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.
In the second class, using different paint colors, you will discover how color—combined with the depiction of light— enables the designer to reproduce both the color and shape of stones, until they appear to come to life.
