Do I Need To Be An Advanced Artist To Paint With Gouache?


You don’t have to be an advanced artist! Gouache is easier than you think.

I spent a lot of time perfecting gouache techniques. Through a lot of trial and error, I discovered some key learnings that allowed me to more easily paint with gouache. With some help, I know you can, too! You will see, gouache is more forgiving than other mediums. Watercolor actually uses the paper as its white making it difficult to lighten up while gouache can be layered light to dark or dark to light, making it really easy to create depth and more vibrant paintings. Gouache is so fun to paint with! It is more opaque and contrasts more easily than watercolor. I can’t wait to show you how!

Meet Your Teacher: Philip Boelter


From a young age, I loved to paint and draw the nature that surrounded me living in Southern California. To this day, I am still inspired by the flora and fauna around me. My passion for art never faded and I went on to earn a second bachelor's degree at the Academy of Art University. 

My passion for art has grown with the community that I love to share and inspire. Over the last several years, I have amassed a following of over 730k+ on Instagram, 800k+ on Pinterest, 150k+ on Facebook, 100k+ on TikTok, and 20k+ on YouTube. I’ve been featured and shared on tons of curated accounts including Buzzfeed, 9gag, and Tastemade. My videos have helped inspire new and old generations to paint. Every like, follow and comment has made me want to give back in a way that I can help more of these fellow artists grow on their own journey.

My practice has evolved over the years from pastel to oil and acrylic to watercolor. I’ve explored every medium, but I’ve found love with gouache. Although my mediums have changed, I’ve always been inspired by flowers, cacti, and landscapes.

I’ve now hosted several solo art shows, produced custom art for clients, and run a thriving e-commerce shop for my art.

I pride myself on the online community around Boelter Design Co. I’ve been so inspired to see how my art has helped other artists from beginner to advanced get into gouache and find inspiration. I am so excited to more directly help teach others with my online course. Most people are too intimidated to try gouache, but I am here to help you.





Have you ever thought I could do that

Gouache Painting — Made Easy.


I've spent years practicing gouache, testing new techniques, making mistakes, and discovering ways of painting with gouache that have allowed me to explore and perfect this exciting medium. Let me help you learn gouache by following my guided techniques in this online course so you too can paint with gouache. I'm excited to share these techniques with you so you can explore gouache and discover your new style of painting.

Gouache is my favorite medium and could be yours, too. Gouache has recently been gaining a lot of attention and popularity due to its vibrant and opaque nature. It's my favorite medium for that exact reason. Yet, so many people are too intimidated to try it. I was, too! I kept using watercolor even though I was amazed by the beautiful paintings produced by gouache. When I finally got the courage to use gouache after trying to get out of some tricky creative block, I immediately fell in love and found my new style. If only I had started sooner and not wasted so much time on other mediums! I'm confident gouache will be your favorite medium, too.
