The Frisco Arts and Culture Council (FACC) is offering a gouache landscape painting workshop with artist Patti Vincent on Friday, August 30 from 1:00pm – 4:00pm at the Frisco Bay Marina Landing Building. This workshop will focus on getting to know gouache (a forgiving opaque water-soluble paint) and painting a landscape.
About Patti Vincent
Patti Vincent is renowned for her tiny gouache paintings that she creates at her studio in Salida, Colorado. Her paintings are currently featured in Portfolio Gallery in Breckenridge; Rock, Paper, Scissors in Buena Vista; and Sage Mountain Gallery in Salida. Recently, Patti was invited to the Learn to Paint Podcast where she described how she discovered gouache painting and why it may be a good fit for artists. She also talks about her approach to painting with gouache and the importance behind simplification in her paintings.
Patti frequently paints small gouache paintings with big shapes and a big brush, even though her daily paintings are only 2″ x 2”. These small paintings build her painting skills, which she uses to paint larger works in both gouache and oil paint. No matter the size, her paintings appear as fresh and unlabored records of her favorite subjects (Colorado landscapes and her cats). She has instructed many workshops, both in person and online, with the goal of getting her students “excited about painting landscapes with gouache!”
Gouache Landscape Painting Workshop Specifics
Renowned gouache artist Patti Vincent will guide artists through an informational and hands on three-hour in person gouache painting workshop.

Patti will give guidance and encourage artists to build their painting skills with small gouache paintings.

About the Frisco Arts and Culture Council
In January 2023, Frisco Town Council approved the Frisco Five-Year Arts and Culture Strategic Plan, which recommended the creation of a Frisco Arts and Culture Council (FACC). Subsequently, in early summer 2023, seven community members were appointed to the Frisco Arts and Culture Council. The FACC has taken on numerous projects, including a robust mural program, stipends for creative July 4th floats, and Arts Pop-Up events around music and ice art. Future events will include a free community movie night at the Frisco Bay Marina on August 24 and a mural commissioned for the pedestrian tunnel under Highway 9 at the Frisco Adventure Park. More information about the FACC may be found at FriscoGov.com.
