Gouache & Marks: Creating an Abstract Art Journal Spread

Join me in this relaxing art journal session as I create an abstract two-page spread using Holbein Gouache, inspired by a beautiful Color Cube palette.

I start by painting organic circle shapes on watercolor paper in my handmade art journal, then layer in expressive mark-making to add depth and texture.

Watch as the page evolves through intuitive brushstrokes and playful details! Whether you're new to gouache or looking for fresh inspiration for your art journal, this process-focused tutorial will spark your creativity. Grab your supplies and paint along!
