How I trick myself into painting more ✶ Gouache sketchbook study session

Do you ever sit down to paint, start scrolling through your images (or pinterest) and before you know it, 20 minutes or more has gone by and you still haven't chosen an image?? I do this all the time. Decision fatigue is real!! I know it sounds silly, but sometimes I just need to "trick" myself into painting when I'm being too picky about my references. In this video I'll share some tips for how to get through that so you can get that valuable brush mileage in. #gouache Paint with me in Spain! ➤ https://bit.ly/4eV5ZjU Plein air art retreat, October 2025 Materials: Stillman & Birn Nova Sketchbook (beige) Winsor & Newton Gouache Sarah Burns x Craftamo Brushes https://bit.ly/3QLQWMu Redgrass Glass Palette https://bit.ly/3BiVk4b My Full Supply List with links ➤ https://bit.ly/SBfavesupplies -------------------------------------------- Patreon (Monthly Tutorials) ➤ http://bit.ly/sburnspatreon Buy Originals, Prints, Books & Calendars ➤ https://bit.ly/sbbookshop Newsletter ➤ https://bit.ly/sbstudionews Skillshare art classes ➤ https://bit.ly/sbskillclasses Tutorials & Blog ➤ https://bit.ly/sbpaintingclasses Website ➤ http://bit.ly/sburnsweb This post contains affiliate links.
