Join the free challenge: Draw One Fruit a Day

Before the Circle opens, let's draw together - no strings attached. Each day brings a short video (10-15 minutes), a few simple steps to follow, and a little creative time just for yourself. Day one starts with the basics: the supplies you need, and a starter guide to the techniques and methods I use every time I sketch.

I keep hearing the same thing from creative women everywhere.

It's hard to find a space to share your sketches without feeling judged - and even harder to keep going once the first spark fades.

Gabriela's Creative Circle is what I'm building for that: a warm, welcoming space where I'll personally guide you through the process - with a gentle monthly rhythm of mindset talks, creative challenges, live workshops and mini tutorials to keep you inspired and connected along the way.

The Circle opens in October, to a small founding group first. The waitlist is open now, and everyone on it hears before anyone else.

A month in the Circle

What actually happens inside

1

Week 1 · Mindset talk

We open the month with a gentle talk on creativity, confidence, and letting go of perfection - the inner things that keep you painting.

2

Week 2 · Creative challenge

A playful prompt to work from at your own pace - something to loosen up with and share in the group whenever you're ready.

3

Week 3 · Live workshop

We meet live to sketch together and actually connect - a proper workshop and a warm catch-up with your circle. Recorded, if you can't make it.

4

Week 4 · Mini tutorial

A short bonus lesson to round off the month - a small technique or idea to try in your sketchbook.

A peek at the sketchbook

A little of what we make together

Some pages loose and quick, some more finished - all of them made for the joy of it, not for getting it right.

How it feels

The heart of the Circle

🖌️

No judgement, ever

Share the messy middle, the wonky first tries, the half-finished pages. Here, that's the whole point.

🌱

Small and doable

Little and often beats big and overwhelming. A few quiet minutes with your sketchbook is a win worth celebrating.

🤍

Guided by me, personally

I'm in the Circle with you - answering questions, painting along, and cheering you on by name.

🌍

Kind company worldwide

Creative women from all over, in one small, warm room - so you never have to create alone.

When you join the Circle

Everything you get inside

📚

100+ project-based tutorials

A whole library of guided, paint-along projects - start anywhere, follow at your own pace, and never sit in front of a blank page wondering what to make.

💬

Real support - from me and the group

Ask a question any time and get a proper answer from me, not a bot. And a warm circle of creative women beside you, sharing their pages and cheering you on.

🗓️

Something for you every week

Every week of the month brings something - a mindset talk, a creative challenge, a live workshop to paint together, or a mini tutorial. The same gentle rhythm you can count on.

Who the Circle is for

The Circle is for you if…

  • You love sketching or watercolour (or want to) and wish you did it more often
  • You're a complete beginner - or you already paint and sketch; every level is welcome
  • You're a busy woman who needs to slow down, and creativity is the way you want to do it
  • You want creative friends who understand - not just likes from strangers
  • You keep starting and stopping, and would love gentle company to keep going

It's probably not for you if…

  • You want a fast, technical masterclass to “level up” as quickly as possible
  • You're looking for a big, bustling community with lots of noise
  • You prefer to create completely alone, with no check-ins at all
  • You enjoy criticising or judging other people's work

From me to you

Why I'm building this

I'm Gabriela - an ex-architect who found my way back to myself through a sketchbook, in the middle of burnout and early motherhood.

A few quiet minutes of drawing each day changed everything. It slowed me down, and it reconnected me with something that was mine.

Since then I've taught over 1,000 women to sketch and paint for pleasure - and the same wish keeps coming up: “I want people to do this with.” Gabriela's Creative Circle is my answer to that.

I'd love for you to be one of the first.

Kind words

From women I've taught

“
Thank you, Gabriela, for bringing back my love for drawing. Everything is so easy with your help - drawing gives me peace and ease. I look forward to the next challenge!

“
I truly enjoy the Art Power Hours! Super relaxing painting sessions that recharge me completely. Simple, fun, and so energizing - highly recommend!

“
I finished “Meditative Leaves” and loved it. I'd recently decided to add ink to my watercolor - your class came at the most perfect timing and was EXACTLY what I was looking for!

Good to know

Your questions

How do I join when the Circle opens?+
When the Circle opens in October, I'll email everyone on the waitlist first - with a private link to join before it's shared anywhere else.
Why are the spots limited?+
I want to keep this first group small and intimate on purpose - a real circle, not a crowd. Limited spots mean everyone gets a proper warm welcome.
What do founding members get?+
Everyone who joins in that first opening is a founding member. You'll be first through the door, and you'll receive a bonus package of courses - Watercolor Basics for Beginners, How to Start with Ink & Watercolour, and Meditative Leaves - to help you get the most from day one.
How much will it cost?+
I'll share full pricing closer to launch. Waitlist members always hear first, and founding members receive the bonus package to start with everything they need.
How much time does it take?+
As little or as much as you like. One live session or a few quiet minutes with your sketchbook is plenty, and everything is recorded so you can dip in whenever life allows.
I'm a complete beginner. Is that okay?+
More than okay. We start gently, and the founding bonuses are made for people who've never really painted before. You'll be in kind company.
Can I leave later if I need to?+
Of course - there's no lock-in. You can step away whenever you need to, and come back when the time feels right.
