I completed my first gouache sketchbook last night, 50 pages of paintings in a little over six months. I'm absolutely in love with this medium, I never knew traditional painting could be so lightweight and convenient  To send off this book, here's my four favorite pages, and four more recent sketches I haven't posted before in the replies

...and the promised recent sketches. These are all fully from imagination, just picking up my tin palette with all the paints already in it and ready to go, and being done 45 minutes later. So quick and easy I'm more inclined to do this than a digital sketch these days when I'm trying out color ideas

@molentum wow, this is só inspiring! I've recently sewed a watercolor paper sketchbook for a similar reason. I feel like going back to traditional painting gives me a certain freedom which I don't always find working digitally nowadays. Feels like stretching up long forgotten muscles

@ManoelaCosta Thank you very much :) I started with digital and always found traditional painting intimidating, but now that I've taken the time to learn it I've unlocked so many new dimensions to my work, it's amazing. Making your own sketchbook is very cool, I have a friend who does that sometimes but I haven't dared try it myself yet 😅
