NEED AN AWESOME SKETCHBOOK FOR YOUR GOUACHE JOURNEY?

To celebrate this occasion I have teamed up with Archer & Olive who create beautiful sketchbooks perfect for your Gouache journey. The paper is smooth and takes gouache beautifully. The colours are vibrant and you will have little to no buckling. And what's best, the price is sweet too. I created the little squirrel above on their sketchbook and I highly recommend it.

I contacted them a few months ago because I was impressed by the paper quality. So far I haven't found a sketchbook that took Gouache well. Most of the time the paper was either too thin or too textured. Once I saw their paintings on this sketchbook I knew this would be for you guys. They sent me a free one to test and I can say that I am very happy with it. It's great for opaque paintings like the one you will learn in Gouache for Illustrators. However, it is not meant to be used for watercolours or very watered down gouache. Please note that I am not getting any financial benefit from this recommendation. We only agreed to promote each other as an exchange.

I hope you will love the course and the sketchbooks as much as I do

Hi, it's been a while. In this video, I share what has happened since handing in my final work up to graduation and what will happen next. There were and still are a lot of questions that came up for me, and in this video, I will share my reflections on graduating, turning 30, and working full time as a freelance illustrator. Thank you for your support :) #womenwithpencils #illustration_daily #womenwhodraw #illustrationartists #illustratorsoninstagram #instaart #instaartist #freelanceillustrator #dowhatyoulove
Happy Swiss National Day 🇨🇭 Today as well as on countless other days, I think of my Swiss grandparents who were and still are a great inspiration for me in their deep love for each other. I miss them very much but remain with a feeling of deep gratitude for all the times we could share before they passed on. I hope all you Swiss and Half-Swiss people (like me) out there have had a wonderful day. I've drawn a few things that we used to do when I was young e.g. hanging up Swiss themed decorations, eating off themed paper plates, singing "gang rüaf di Brune", and eating cheese fondue. How do you celebrate? #schweiz #schweizernationalfeiertag #helvetia #switzerland #swissnationalday #swisscow #cows #fondue #illustration #pencildrawing #colouredpencil #illustrator #illustratorsoninstagram #drawing #twitter
Hi, I'm back from my long social media absence and wanted to start with sharing this absolutely amazing #gouachepainting by one of my students. I can't get my head around how cute this senior pug portrait is. Please check out @kristajadeart who is the creator of this cutie #seniorpug #pug #petportrait #gouache #gouache4illustrators #pugstagram #dogportrait #petillustration #illustratorsoninstagram #twitter #Repost from @kristajadeart with @regram.app ... And my last cute animal -a very special senior pug-for @romica_s Gouache for Illustrators on @skillshare. Turns out pugs are really hard to paint 🎨. Really great class that got me doing something different!
Can't believe this is happening - only 3 weeks left of university and my book baby is in its final stages. Here is a colour scheme for my picture book "How Maud met Anne", a story for young aspiring authors and creative children about how Lucy Maud Montgomery got her first novel "Anne of Green Gables" published. It's a story about persistence, rejection, passion, and the belief that you will arrive one day. Not only is she a true inspiration to me, her books and short stories have given me hours of joy, and countless tears and laughs. I've read most of her novels and countless short stories. I hope this book will find a wonderful publisher and be appreciated, loved, and read by the ones who need it. Although only at the start of my journey, I, like Maud, believe that I'll arrive one day. Thank you so much for your continued support and for following me on this journey of becoming a full-time freelance illustrator. The next 3 weeks will be intense but I'm looking forward to this baby being born. #kidlit #kidlitart #childrenslit #childrenswritersguild #picturebook #picturebookart #picturebookillustration #anneofgreengables #lucymaudmontgomery #colour #colourinspiration #colourscheme #instaartist #instaart #illustration #illustrator #illustratoroninstagram
