If you’re looking to start painting with gouache or want to build a consistent sketchbook practice, this class is perfect for you. In this class, we will be painting a beautiful and calming seascape using gouache, step by step.

This class is a part of my ongoing Gouache Sketchbook Series, where we are filling an entire sketchbook together while improving our skills with each painting. This class is designed to be beginner-friendly, so even if you are completely new to gouache, you can follow along with ease. We will start with the basics, understand the reference, and then gradually build the painting layer by layer, from the background to the final details.

What you’ll learn in this class:

How to simplify a seascape reference
Basic color mixing for sky and water
Layering techniques in gouache
Adding highlights and final details

Whether you want to relax with painting or improve your gouache skills, this class will help you gain confidence and enjoy the process of creating. By the end of this class, you will have a beautiful seascape painting and a better understanding of how to approach similar paintings.
