I was an architect. I was good at it, and I was almost completely burnt out.

So I picked up drawing again, and found out something funny. I could draw a perfect straight line. I could not draw a single thing I actually saw. My first drawing was a tree and it was not good.

So I made it smaller. One subject. Leaves.

I spent the whole of 2020 on that, the year our first baby arrived. Markers, pencils, ink pens, trying everything. Then I bought watercolors and just swatched them, and the way the colours bled into each other, I still think it is magic.

Still leaves, until I found it. Ink lines and watercolor.

The thing I was missing was accountability. I wanted every line perfect, and perfect is a very good reason never to begin.

Now I am the opposite. Not because I got good. Because I started doing it for fun. It is not the finished page that makes me happy any more, it is the hour.

And when I started teaching, I heard the same three sentences every time. I don’t have time. I don’t know what to draw. I don’t know where to start. And then we just don’t start.

So I built the answer to all three.

Gabriela’s Creative Circle opens on the 20th of October. Comment CIRCLE and I will put you on the waitlist.

What if I tell you there is no wrong way to fill a page?

No really. None.

Not too wonky. Not too bright. Not too empty, not too full. Not too much like somebody else’s and not enough like your own.

We carry all of these rules around and nobody ever gave them to us. We just picked them up somewhere and started marking our own pages against them.

Your sketchbook is not an exam. Nobody is coming to look at it. There is no version of that page that is the correct one.

Let it be imperfect. Let it be personal. Let it be completely yours.

That is the whole practice, honestly. Everything else is just technique, and technique you can pick up any time.

If you want somewhere to start, I have a free autumn leaves workshop waiting for you.

Last week I shared all the buts. Not knowing where to start, not knowing what to draw, being afraid of the white page.

Today I want to show you what I built for them.

Every Tuesday there is one thing waiting for you. A talk, a challenge, a live session where we paint together, and a small tutorial. Plus the whole tutorial library from the first day with recording and 100+ classes waiting for you to explore at your own pace.

One thing a week. Nothing to fall behind on. You just show up.

Gabriela’s Creative Circle opens on the 20th of October. 🎨 There is a seven day free trial for us to do the 7-Day Challenge “Draw One Fruit a Day” to kick this creative journey off together!

Comment CIRCLE and I will send you the link to join the waitlist because all the founding members will get 3 bonus courses from me 🎉

Five ideas, pick one.

1. One big watercolor splash. Put the colour down and then use your hands to push it into an organic shape. No smooth wash, no flat edges. Enjoy the mess.

2. Splatters. Big brush, loaded, and go. A whole page of them. Do not count the dots and do not tidy any of them up.

3. Wonky lines. Fineliner, and do not try to make one continuous smooth line. Sketchy, broken, overlapping. It loosens your hand faster than anything.

4. Let two colours touch and then walk away. Wet on wet, drop one next to the other, and do not rescue it. Whatever it does while it dries is the point.

5. Draw something without looking at the paper. Eyes on the object, pen on the page, and no peeking until you are done. It will be terrible. You will also loosen up more in two minutes than in an hour of careful work.

Which one are you doing? Tell me below.
