This one is a longer, cozy sketch-with-me where I’m painting the same travel-inspired spread over multiple days—because I was trying to finish my “Jeju Wanderings” art zine in time for a local stationary fair (hello, deadlines). The core inspiration comes from temple travel sketches, and I let the spread evolve slowly: thumbnail-y impressions, a “quick” temple sketch that absolutely escalated, and then a lot of patient layering to bring it all together. I also had some very important studio interruptions (cat visits), which honestly feels on brand for my sketchbook life. I’m working with the Holbein Irodori Winter palette (I’m using the dry paint samples I got as a gift, plus a single tube of Permanent White to re-wet and refresh mixes), and a big chunk of the video is me nerding out about pigments, chroma contrast, and how complementary colors can either save your painting—or make it more chaotic if you’re not careful. I test brushwork with a new DaVinci Fit brush, do a little color study, and wrestle with choices like “to gold or not to gold.” At the end, I share the finished zine pages and how I fold my mini art zines, plus a few bonus illustrations.
