Feeling nostalgic for the epic Norwegian landscapes that first drew me into gouache. These scenes are from my recent travels - places that stayed with me long after I packed up my paints. Some of these pieces mark the beginning of my gouache journey. Hope you enjoy them! 🌱

A moment of appreciation for my painting: "Monet's Window". 🌱 🪟

This piece marked a huge turning point for me — my first piece in a new style, new medium, new series and honestly, the beginning of a new art journey. ✨

My #gouache process explained:
1) I started with colored pencil, carefully distinguishing between the pink petals and the green leaves.
2) Next step was building up the layers of gouache from the lightest shades to the deepest tones.

Though I often paint #Italy, my art isn’t truly about Italy. It’s about capturing warmth, freedom, the quiet joy of contentment—moments that feel like a perpetual vacation. ☀️

Unveiling the first page of my "20 Pages of Italy" #gouache sketchbook, a vibrant scene from Limone sul Garda. The process resembles a complex paint-by-numbers, with many elements blending into a cohesive piece. This artwork is dedicated to those who love sunny days and flowers! ☀️ 🌸

I never finished a sketchbook before (shame on me! :D), but I had this one custom-made recently. It's the home for my new #gouache project "20 pages of Italy". And it's not just about the sights - it's about a personal journey of rediscovery, where I found joy and inspiration after facing burnout.

Hi, I'm Luisa and I paint vibrant floral landscapes in gouache. 🌸🌱

After spending years hustling to build a successful career in freelance fantasy art, I experienced burnout that made me lose touch with the joy of creating. I'm now on a journey to rediscover happiness through my art. 🩷
