Paint your first peaceful waterside gouache scene

that looks so real, people will think you bought it!

"Imagine if you could..."

  • Layer shades of green and brown to paint tall grasses swaying at the water's edge.

  • Step back and smile at a painting that looks peaceful, balanced, and beautifully yours even if this is your first time with gouache.

  • Feel calm and present as you mix colors, watching the paper transform from blank to a tranquil landscape.

Sounds amazing right?

But so many people never try because they think this is too difficult.

You might be convinced this requires a lot of experience, special tools and have the 'artistic bone', right?

Wrong. It's a lot more doable. You don't need a lot of expensive materials or years of experience.

And if you're still thinking...

Imagine walking into your room and seeing this beautiful creation in your room

"I have no idea where to start"

When I first started painting, I searched for tutorials that would show me straightforward steps to create beautiful paintings.

Instead, I found bits and pieces of guidance scattered on social media, youtube and forums. Needless to say, I made a ton of mistakes.

But I wasn't the only one. It's what most people face.

Maybe you’ve seen amazing paintings online and thought, “I’d love to try making something of my own.” So you walk into an art store or scroll through Amazon… and suddenly you’re drowning in choices — fifty types of paints, tools you’ve never even heard of, kits that cost a fortune. You put a few things in your cart, second-guess yourself, and then quietly leave.

And it’s not just about money or tools. You see other people's paintings - that look clean and stunning - and then you look at yours and think "What did I do wrong?", "Why doesn't it look as good as theirs?"

It doesn't have to be overwhelming and you don't need special "talent" or tools. In fact...

You can easily do it at home with the right guidance!

All you need is some paints and tools that is found everywhere. In fact, I'll personally show what I use. You can use more specialized tools if you want to - and I'll tell you exactly which ones are worth it - but you can get started without them.

‍I want to tell you more about what I've got in store for you, but first...

Let me introduce myself...

Hello! I'm Bari

If you're anything like me, you probably love creating something personal and meaningful on your own.

I'm a self-artist who specializes in realistic gouache painting, a comfortable authentic style developed after years of trial and error. Apart from numerous local and international commission, I've won awards in the Mixue and Ohuhu competitions.

Now I've taken everything I learned and turned it into a step-by-step process that works even if you've never painted before.

Here's why:

When you clicked onto this page, you saw the realistic depth of the scenery like it was taken straight out of your camera.

And you felt a spark of curiosity.

‍

Wondering if YOU could really make something like that yourself.

Then discovered like many others you can paint a beautiful piece of nature's art.

Commissioning a painting like this could cost in the $100s.

So I thought it would be reasonable to charge $97 for this course.

But then I had a change of heart.

‍

I remember how great it felt when I finished my first gouache scene, and the sense of calmness it brought. And I don’t want price to get in the way of you experiencing the same joy.
