filling my sketchbook : tiny (gouache) landscape paintings & travel sketching setup | Seoul Art Vlog

I've been practicing gouache painting and landscapes lately, and took my sketchbook to Seoul to fill a spread with tiny paintings.

In this art vlog I reflect on what I've learned about gouache paints so far, reasons why I like them for travel sketching (and some reasons why I don't...), and go over the painting process for this sketchbook spread. Breaking these sketchbook pages down into smaller scenes felt very liberating, with less pressure on individual sketches to "be perfect", and I hope you like the idea for your own sketchbook practice. 💚
