In this studio vlog, I spend two cozy days filling a sketchbook spread in my mixed media travel journal with gouache sketches inspired by Jeju—tiny iced coffees, soft greenery and hills, little buildings, and flower fields. The whole point is to turn these pages into a new art zine, so you’ll see me thinking through composition, choosing what to focus on, and building a layout that actually makes sense as a finished piece (instead of just a bunch of random paintings I like). I’m also very, very obsessed with limited palettes right now, so I’m using the Holbein Irodori gouache sets (Winter and Spring) and pushing them across a bunch of subjects. I talk through why the limitation is what makes it interesting—because it forces me to practice color mixing, find “warm” versions of cooler sets, and keep everything feeling cohesive. Along the way I share brush choices, how I use bounce light, what I do when I’m struggling mid-page, and that moment when I finally lean into mixed media to pull everything together.
