Gouache class starting next month! International students welcome! Even if you can't participate the class in real time, you still get plenty of feedback and instruction through Discord and video recording, so time zone is not an issue with your learning! #warriorartcamp @warriorartcamp

@zacretz Quick Concept gumroad class homework, combining abstract images and representational shapes. This was nerve wrecking, I'm sooo outside my comfort zone, and yet this method really gave me a new way to approach scene I don't dare approach before! #pleinairpril

Taking @zacretz #gumroad quick concept class is really helping me learning how to tackle scenes I wasn't confident about before. Mostly in helping me making loose strokes, is what I find most useful.

Homework from @zacretz Quick Concept class on #gumroad. I'm learning how to have the courage and knowledge to tackle a complex scene like this, and creating implied details. 💪

I've been taking @zacretz gumroad class on quick concepts, so I'm applying the 'staying loose' mindset to my gouache practice. New #gouache class @warriorartcamp starting on April 12th! #pomegranate
