Have you been wanting to stay consistent with your sketchbook practice or finally complete a gouache sketchbook this year?

In this class, we’ll paint two calm, nature inspired gouache sketchbook spreads step by step, focusing on greenery, landscapes, and soft detailing and all while enjoying the process of painting in a sketchbook. This class is part of my Gouache Sketchbook Series, where we practice gouache regularly through simple, approachable, and satisfying projects.
