How to Start a New Sketchbook | Magical Gouache Landscape Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2024
- The first page of a sketchbook can be really daunting. There’s all this pressure to make that first spread something awesome- after all, this is the page you’ll see most; you’ll get a glimpse every time you open the sketchbook to paint a new page!
So how can we create something great? Something that inspires us and sets the tone of the whole book? In this video I’ll share my approach as we paint the first spread in a brand new sketchbook!
Happy painting!
Ruth ✨
COLORS
I used Prussian blue, primary blue, permanent middle green, cobalt turquoise light, primary yellow and titanium white.
BRUSHES
For brushes I use a 1/2" angled shader, a 1/2" flat, size 8 filbert, size 6 round petal and size 2 liner. These are Kingart Original Gold Series brushes- I've been using these brushes exclusively for nearly 2 years now and I love them!

If I did anything like this, I would carry this sketchbook everywhere with me and show everyone I came across!! Bloody magical Ruth.
Im healing just by watching this magic happen. Im so tired from work emotionally and physically. I just want to escape to this fantasy by painting magics everyday.
So I did what you said at the beginning and I chose colors that I like: pinks, purples, and teal and I started just putting the paint on the paper but as I did it I started seeing mountains and clouds and so instead of following along with you, I just tried to pick out those shapes… then I worked on adding details like yours at the end with the plants and it turned out sooo cool! I feel so accomplished having made something purely from my imagination. :) thank you for the inspiration!
This was absolutely beautiful to watch it was like a fairy tale scene I can imagine little fairies and fire flies or exotic birds living there.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
I AM SO THRILLED to have found you. Your art is inspiring and etherial and truly magical. I did my own version of this in one of the pages of my current sketchbook - but when I start a new one, I am going to do something similar. I ADORE your style. Your calming voice too, make this so easy and relaxing to follow. I hope you add more of your beautiful art!
This might be the most lovely YT channel on the internet. I’m so glad I found it…but I may never get around to painting since I can’t stop watching. 😊
This was so mesmerizing to watch. Your painting style is so unique and effortless, it almost looks like magic. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊💕
❤❤❤❤❤ what a wonderful picture, I want to live there
My goodness. There is talent and then there is talent. I could literally feel my heart speeding up at the magic that was flowing from your brush. Amazing!!!
I will never get tired watching your YT videos on your painting, they look so soft and beautiful, vibrant colours and similar to watercolor. I uses watercolor for painting, i will attempt gouche one day, color looks more vibrant.
One of the best tutorials i have seen. You make it look so easy! Thank you for this 🤗
You are so underrated on youtube, Ruth! This was absolutely gorgeous!
You make this look so easy to tackle!
'I want to give my waterfall some trees and bushes to keep it company.' 😂 I love such quotes by the true nature lovers.
Dear Ruth, thank you for sharing the steps that make an incredibly beautiful magical painting. I definitely have page one nervousness but with this tutorial it seems surmountable. ❤🎨🖼️
And pointing out the brushes you use is also very helpful.
Wow amazing
I’ve just discovered your art through domestica and I’m completely in love with your style and the atmosphere in your paintings 💚
Wow, magical!👌🙌🙌🙌🎨👍🙏👏👏👏
So magical! Blue and greens are my favorites also!💙💚
Precious and so relaxing ❤ thanks!

Simply beautiful!❤
This was brilliant and I’ll definitely be rewatching
Absolutely beautiful

Absolutely beautiful! It's so dreamy and magical!
Thanks Nichole! 🥰
Wow i Love your work!!!❤❤❤❤❤
This is very beautiful in its simplicity, and creates a magnificent atmosphere that is truly magical. Absolutely love it ❤️ thank you for sharing your stunning work with us 😊 ❤️.
wow my favourite colours too.
Holy moly that looks so magical! ♥️ I was just gifted a large etchr landscape sketch book and I think I know what I am gonna paint first. Thank you!!!
Amazing tutorial thank you!!! 😍😍
I am aspiring to learn gouache painting because of how I am so amazed with the way an artist use it. I just don’t like how they draw before painting as I am a man of free spirit so I’d like my arts to be free of sketches and just go with the language of colors and your video is just exactly what I needed. My favorite thing is also an enchanted forest so I am really thankful I found your art! This is just really breath-taking!
When it comes to drawing my imagination is very bad but I did as you did and the results are awesome thx😊
This was so dreamy and magical! Loved it 😀
I'm glad you enjoyed it! 💕
A pity you stopped uploading on UA-cam and that I found your account only now, your art is gorgeous!
She didn't stop...
@@TheNightBus I mean, when I wrote that comment her last uploads were „1 year ago“, so it definitely seemed like she did.
This is so beautiful!! You make it look so simple, although I don't know how many attempts I would need to achieve such a gorgeous result
Thank you so much!
Woow...This is amazing!!!
Wow! This is just magical! Love it!,
Gorgeous 😍 I often struggle with confidence outside of photos or live subjects recreation. I will rewatch your video and I'll try it out. Just to relax and follow the general ideas you talked about.
That said, I have watched all your videos but one and I can't wait for the next one. Thank you for the inspiration and pleasure watching your art and its presentation
This was incredible to watch. I had it on while painting myself and used some of the techniques already, but I definitely also want to do a big piece like this soon!
Oh so soothing! Lovely to watch and lovely to listen!
Thank you for sharing!
Wish you luck and inspiration.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 💕
Absolutely beautiful!
If I could paint like that the first page would be no problem 😳🙂👍
Just magical. So inspiring. Glad I’m enrolled in your school, I can see how much you are going to teach me!
Omg that is mesmerizing!!! I just bought your book and I can’t wait for it to get here so I can pain as beautifully as you!!
Ah thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the book! 💕

Thanks Theresa!
I love this!
Thanks Sharon! 😊
Just done this starting a new sketchbook for my new adventure into gouache. Its a great way to explore the feel of gouache and it also makes me want to use the book. It’s not the same as I included yellow as part of the base and did the trees black. But copied the general idea quite a lot. So happy with it. Thank you for sharing. I have subscribed and will get your gouache course this week. ❤ xx

This gave me the feels 😢😢
Hi! I've been trying to learn watercolors but kept finding some amazing gouache pieces. I'm wanting to try out gouache now and found your channel, your content is amazing! I was looking into your patreon page but was wondering, is it for beginners too? Or do you need some knowledge of gouache/painitng already to be able to follow along with the patreon content? Thanks so much for making these video's either way
Hey Jana! I’m just putting together a Gouache Boot Camp for all the basics and a free tutorial from Get Gouachey- these would be a great way to get started! Shoot me an email or a DM on Instagram with your email address and I’ll send you the link 💕
Wow super💗💗👍👍👍
Magnifique belle âme ! ❤
I love how you say ---> sketch booook!!! 🙏
lol! thanks 😊😂
Hi my friend. Thanks for the great video you shared with us. very interesting video really great thank you for sharing the video please keep in touch. Keep posting the videos I follow, .💖💗 .💖.💗.💖 ,.
🎉🎉❤
I'm speechless
glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I love to try this even though I have no artistic skills! Are Arteza gouache work? I can’t afford Windsor &newton. They are so expensive unfortunately. I could do the background ok but not sure about the forest. This painting is beautiful. I have to try this ❤
Yes, Arteza gouache will work! 🥰
For beginners do you recommend hot pressed or cold pressed sketch book
So magical♥️🤍
Ah thanks so much! 😊💕
I wish I could get to that stage of producing art. I can replicate pretty much anything. But to just add a plant? Or waterfall? Not there yet, lol. Not even sure how to get there.
I love your paintings, what kind of sketchbook is this?
Thank you! This is an Etchr cotton sketchbook 💕
I really loved this video! So inspiring! However I am new at gouache and lanscapes so whenever I try to sit down and paint something I come up blank (actually it's the same for whatever I try to paint, I just stare at a blank page and end up just closing the book again. I am really struggling to paint anything these days).
Do you have any website recommendations for some inspirational pictures to use as reference? I tried using pinterest but most of the time I am struggling to find something close to what I am looking for.
Hey Rebecca! I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊 For reference photos I like to use Unsplash or ones I've taken myself. I will also combine things from multiple photographs if I cant quite find what I'm looking for. Hope this helps! 💕
@@RuthWilshaw okay, thank you! :)
Which gouache is this?
It’s Winsor & Newton 💕
I'm a beginner artist can anyone tell me what kind of sketchbook she used??
It’s etchr lab cold press sketchbook (A4) AFAIK
A4 Etchr 100% cotton watercolor sketchbook
I was wondering, when you layer down gouache on the first layer of gouache this activates the first layer because the second layer is wet. How come this is not happening in your video?
Hey Pippi, using cold press cotton paper helps so much with this! The paint can sink into the surface a little and the paper is very thirsty and quickly sucks all the moisture out of the paint- it takes more water to reactivate gouache on this type of paper, which makes layering much easier!
@@RuthWilshaw thank you !

Terrifying? I was in jail in E. Africa--THAT was terrifying, this is fun...and I've been painting for 50 years... I'm never terrified.
You are a talent painter 👏😊 (but why this vocal fry? It's so difficult to hear your explanation 😢)
