Acrylic gouache Sketchbook Practice
Follow a clear, beginner-friendly sketchbooking, sketching & painting process
When creating feels harder than it should
You want those quiet, cozy moments with your sketchbook.
A warm drink nearby.
A little time just for you.
But when you sit down, you’re not sure what to paint.
Or how to start.
You scroll, you save inspiration, you tell yourself you’ll try later, when you feel more confident, more inspired, more ready.
But what you really want is peaceful feeling of creating for the joy of it.
Hi, I'm VICTORIA!
I'm an illustrator from rainy northern Spain specialising in traditional art and gouache paintings.
My artistic goal is to create illustrations that combine powerful storytelling and warmth, or that turn the everyday into magical moments. I'd love to make my own books one day and to develop a career in publishing.
I also create products and manage my own online shop, and just ventured into attending local markets where I get to meet other amazing artists.
When I'm not drawing or painting, you can find me reading fantasy novels under a blanket or hiking in the woods.

Fill Your Sketchbook with Cozy Acrylic Gouache Illustrations
✦ Imagine opening your sketchbook with a warm drink nearby and actually looking forward to the blank page.
Imagine knowing how to begin.
Having a simple idea.
A colour palette that feels just right.
You paint slowly.
Layer by layer.
Letting acrylic gouache do its thing.
Page by page, your sketchbook fills with cozy scenes,
soft colours,
and little stories that feel calm and personal.
And when the course is over,
you’re not wondering what to paint next.
You have a rhythm.
A process.
A way back to those quiet, creative moments
whenever you need them.
When You Complete the Course, You’ll Have the Skills to:
Bring Your sketchbook to life
You’ll know how to gather inspiration ethically, build moodboards, choose references, and translate ideas into sketches and full-page or spread compositions without feeling stuck at the beginning.
Sketch and paint complete illustrations
From rough sketching and composition to underpainting, layering, colour variation, and final details, you’ll be able to take an illustration all the way to completion using acrylic gouache — even when mistakes happen.
Create warm colour palettes
You’ll understand how to mix colours, mute and adjust palettes, add texture and volume, and curate your colours so your pages feel warm, balanced, and intentional rather than random.
Course Content
The course is divided into 7 carefully structured modules, thoughtfully designed to guide you step by step through the illustrated sketchbook process. You’ll gain access to hours of lessons and hands-on demonstrations, along with 30+ video lessons you can pause, replay, and revisit anytime as you build confidence with acrylic gouache.
This course welcomes everyone, from complete beginners opening their first sketchbook to artists looking to slow down and develop a more cohesive, personal practice. Each module builds gently on the last, starting with inspiration, moodboards, and sketching, then moving into color mixing and painting with acrylic gouache to create cozy, expressive pages.
In My Course, You'll Learn:
Modules 1 & 2
Getting Started & Creative Foundations
Build a supportive foundation for your sketchbook practice. Learn about essential materials, setting up your space, creating small rituals, and understanding why sketchbooks matter. You will begin overcoming the blank page while developing a gentle, sustainable creative habit.
Modules 3 & 4
Inspiration & The Sketching Process
Learn how to gather inspiration ethically and intentionally through moodboards and visual research. Explore loose sketching techniques using shapes and forms, practice drawing objects, animals, people, and small scenes, and develop confidence in planning pages and spreads.
Modules 5 & 6
Color Craft & Painting with Gouache
Dive into acrylic gouache techniques with a focus on color theory, mixing, swatching, and palette curation. Learn how to build layers, add texture and volume, fix mistakes, and paint cozy illustrations step by step using a slow and intuitive approach.
Modules 7 & 8
Finishing Pages & Making It Yours
Bring everything together as you complete final sketchbook spreads and refine your personal style. Learn how to add final details, photograph and share your work, reflect on your process, and build healthy creative habits that support your ongoing sketchbook journey.
