Earthy Mixed Media Color Studies with Holbein Irodori Gouache

In this art journal session, I’m continuing in my Etchr Perfect Sketchbook with the Holbein Irodori gouache sets and creating a spread of small earthy mixed media studies. These little paintings lean into olive greens, deep browns, soft blush pinks, muted reds, creamy neutrals, and tiny white dotted details, with layered arches, striped marks, loose floral shapes, soft washes, and graphic pencil lines giving each piece its own little personality. I’m pulling from the supplies I’ve been keeping on my desk for this journal, including gouache, Kingart gel crayons, Neocolor II pastels, Blackwing pencil, Faber-Castell Black Edition pencils, Posca marker, tempera sticks, Kuretake metallic watercolor, and fine line mica inks, and letting the pages come together through color, texture, contrast, and intuitive mark making. Come hang out in the studio as I keep building this new art journal one tiny abstract painting at a time. Supplies used: 🖌️ Looking for the supplies I used?
