Enrollment now open – starts March 1st
Would you like to fill your sketchbook with bold, joyful colors?
Join me for a playful 30-day sketchbook celebration of fruits and vegetables. We’ll slow down, observe closely, and build color confidence one page at a time.
If you hesitate when choosing colors or don’t know how to start a page, this edition is for you.
Each day, you’ll paint one fruit or vegetable in mixed media. This is a simple daily practice that helps your confidence and style grow naturally.
Ready to start your joyful sketchbook practice?
Thirty days. One page at a time. No perfect skills required. No perfect supplies either.
Just your sketchbook, a few colors, and the willingness to show up. Everything is guided. Everything is simple. You can move at your own pace and rewatch anytime.

Cecile Yadro
Hi, I’m Cécile, a French artist who loves color, mixed media, and gouache.
Art should bring joy, not stress. That’s why I create playful, step-by-step tutorials that help beginners explore, experiment, and fill their sketchbooks with confidence.
Over the past six years, more than 25,000 students have joined my courses and discovered that you don’t need to know all the rules to start creating. With the supplies you already have and a spirit of curiosity, you can express yourself and enjoy the process.
My mission is to help you grow as an artist while having fun along the way.

Want to see the full sketchbook before joining?
If you’re the kind of person who likes to know exactly what you’re stepping into, I made a full sketchbook tour for you.
In this video, I flip through all the finished pages and discuss the materials, the stylistic variations, and the creative approach behind the class.
You’ll see the pears, the pineapple, the garlic on black paper, the rainbow chard, the sliced fruits, the playful lineups, everything.
But if you prefer to discover each fruit and vegetable day by day, and keep the surprise alive…
You might want to skip the video and join us with fresh eyes.
Both ways are perfect. Just follow your instinct.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What materials do I need to follow this class?
We’ll be working with gouache, watercolor, acrylic inks, crayons, collage, acrylic markers, and oil pastels. But you do not need to own them all. In every lesson, I give you options and suggestions for alternative materials. You can easily follow along with what you already have. For example, if I use oil pastels, you might use crayons or colored pencils. This class is not about the “right” supplies. It’s about curiosity, rhythm, and making art with what’s at hand.
Is this class for beginners?
Yes. Absolutely. You don’t need any experience with gouache or mixed media to enjoy this class. Each lesson is short and approachable, and I always explain what I’m doing in a clear and encouraging way. You can follow at your own pace.
What if I can’t attend the live sessions?
No problem at all! All live painting sessions (March 9, 20, and 30) will be recorded, and you’ll receive the replays the day after. You can watch them anytime that works for you.
Do I get lifetime access?
Yes. Once you join, the lessons are yours forever. You can go at your own pace. Some people follow every day in March, others do one lesson a week, and that’s fine too.
