Learn the traditional art of jewelry design in gouache through professional hand-rendering techniques used by the world’s finest jewelry houses.

In this private jewelry rendering course, students learn traditional European gouache and watercolor techniques to illustrate gemstones, precious metals, reflections, texture, light, and intricate jewelry details. Rich, vibrant colors bring each design concept to life, while carefully rendered gemstones appear luminous, dimensional, and realistic.
