Blue Chefchaouen in Gouache

💙 Step beyond the Zorn palette and dive into deep Mediterranean blues. In this 1+ hour demo, Brandon Gonzales guides you through painting an atmospheric architectural scene set in Chefchaouen—showing you how to use a limited palette (including ultramarine blue) to bring subtlety, depth, and focus.


You’ll learn how to:
🎯 Create convincing perspective in a complex architectural reference without getting lost in detail 
🌌 Use blue tones intentionally—when to emphasize, when to pull back, and how to let the eye travel through the painting 
🛠️ Navigate color hierarchy: choosing focal points and deemphasizing areas to support the composition


A perfect course for artists ready to expand beyond warm, limited palettes—gain confidence with cooler tones, architectural settings, and depth. 🕒 Runtime: 1+ hours
