How fun!! I used to do the squares when I would doodle in school 😂🤣😂🤣 I wasn’t for sure how I felt about the second one then you started laying down some of the paint color and I loved it so much more and the third one. I’m so jealous of your handwriting.!!!!!!!!! 💝
Thank you great ideas !
I really enjoyed these ideas! The scraping paint one is so cool! I love all of yours. They turned out so good. I did this a while back to an Arteza spiral sketchbook with gesso and then paint and it made the areas near the spirals like lift. Thank you for the inspiration!!! 💜💜💜
Black n white tangled ❤
The finished product is really pretty! I love the this! And I love that you just kinda painted, too. It was really enjoyable to watch. I am officially a fan! More please! Lol.
Really loved this! Thank you for sharing!
Wauw Beautiful 🖍️🖌️🎨
Hello Kirsten, I have a question: "Did you use acrylic gouache as a base? Can I also make the base with regular acrylic paint so that the acrylic markers still stick well?" Love from the Netherlands 🖍️🖌️🎨
Good morning Kristina, you asked why I (the viewer) sketch. Ever since I was a toddler I have been fascinated by colors, whether with pencils or fabrics, it doesn't matter. I used to receive very good quality pencils from a family member and then there was no stopping them. Now I am 60+ and after a stormy life I have found peace again while working in my sketch books. It processes traumas and gives joy. Even though my works are quite simple but it is so wonderful to create. Love from the Netherlands 🖍️🖌️🎨🌞
So very nice 🎨🖍️🖌️
Cute! I like the color palette of the branches =)
Stunning 💜
Thank you!
Good morning Kristina, I am so happy that I came across your UA-cam channel. What a pleasant voice you have to listen to and watch your many ideas. I am not a very good artist myself, but I love coloring with all kinds of materials. It gives me a lot of peace and pleasure. I enjoy watching and listening to your videos. Love from the Netherlands 🖍️🎨🖌️🥀
That's so wonderful to hear. I'm happy you are enjoying them. And in my eyes no one is "not a good artist" they simply have a little less experience. 😉
I love all of these ideas, Kristina! I want to do all of them! I especially loved the tone of the dark color used on the second cover (the abstract one in which you used the gift card.) The stark bright white of the gesso and the cool-toned lavender bring out the blue tone of Payne's Grey. I love that! Normally, that wouldn't be my favorite style, but your talent for choosing unusual color combos makes me see things differently. ❤😊 Thank you for making such a great video and sharing your creativity with us!
You're so welcome, and thank YOU for your lovely comments and encouragement, Marisa!🥰
Fun to watch. I especially like the large leafy cover.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
What a beautiful idea!! 🥰 I loved how colorful they became!! 🌈 Washi tape can have less ability to stick. Do you have recommendations for that? I think I liked the leaf shapes and patchwork ones the best!! 🍂 Paint pens are just awesome!! 😍🤗
When I want to "bolster" my washi tape, I put a thin layer of Modge Podge or clear-drying glue underneath it. It works great! I even used it on a notebook cover once and it held up really well. 😊
@@marisafaith Thank you! 🤗
Thanks so much! And thank you Marisa, I haven't tried glue underneath washi yet, I'll have to give it a go.
@@kristinahunterart You're very welcome! 🤗😍
@@Kreative_Rainbow You're welcome!
They are all beautiful.
Please do more like these. I paint just to manage pain, distract myself so it has to be low stress or it does the opposite 😂. This was perfect, just absolutely perfect for me. ❤
The colors are gorgeous its so pretty!!! What kind of markers did you use? ❤
I think they’re alcohol markers
Or acrylic markers
But she also used watercolour
@@ユシん-こ ty <3
@@densechocoholic678 They are Zig clean color watercolor brush pens. There’s a link in the longer video 😊
❤❤❤🎉🎉
Just found your channel and I love your Sketchbook ideas. When I saw you drawing that mitten and I saw you place the string at the cuff I laughed because my Mum made mittens like that for me when I was a kid and I used to call them "idiot mittens", because you could never lose them even if you took one off off the other one stayed attached! LOL Growing up, everyone I knew had these! 💜💜💜
magical
Beautiful and inspiring!! I think having these pens might make "painting" time more accessible.
I love these! And I would enjoy more fall-themed videos. If I had to choose, I think I like the Cinderella pumpkins, but they are all wonderful. But I'm really excited because I think I have these watercolor brush pens at home, and you've just shown me a great way to use them! I love your videos, but I must admit I miss it when you stop talking, lol. I find your voice soothing and I enjoy listening to you. Glad you're feeling better and back to making videos.
Okay, thank you! I'm glad you have a new way to use the pens. And it's so kind of you to say that you like my voice 😊 I struggled a little this video because of all my residual coughing (luckily I can edit all that out!). I'll have more full voiceovers in the future.
What a fun and happy page(s) and color pallette!
I love Arrtx paint markers🥰. I have Posca markers but I use the Arrtx a lot more often.
I love these ides! Where do you get those clips.
Love these ideas. Keep them coming! 😉❤️
Loved all the pages esp the retro flowers
Great colour choices, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Love these slow soft videos! 💖💛💜
Oh good, I really enjoyed editing a video this way 😊
TOP LEFT HAND CORNER.😊😊
I absolutely LOVE leaves but have only done them in watercolor. I might have to get some of these markers and try this!! It came out SO beautifully! ❤
I'm so happy to hear this! (Stay tuned... you'll see something similar to this soon!)
I love the choice of colors. So relaxing, please do more of these.❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! I will!
Lovely collection of colors and shapes!! 🤗
Thanks so much 😊
@@kristinahunterart You're welcome!! 🤗
Wonderfully relaxing 🎉. Please do more. Very relaxing.
Thank you, I will!
beautiful vide😊 i love hearing you talk too though so, both?!
Thank you for letting me know! 🌸
love this exercise
Thank you!
Too beautiful! I absolutely loved the colors used.. i am going to try to replicate it soon.. thanks for the inspiration and sharing your work here, Kristina 🙏🏼
I'm so happy you found it inspiring! Have fun!
Lovely! Soothing! Inspiring
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you. I can do this! 😊 just started using a sketchbook to help with chronic pain distraction. I’m loving finding ideas like this that I feel capable of doing without getting anxious.
I'm so happy to hear 💕 Thank you!
I simply love your videos
So cool. ❤❤❤
Excellent design ideas. My students will love these or their versions of these as they navigate visual journaling for the first time.
I wish someone would have warned me about the 'ugly stage' when I first started painting. I threw away so many because I thought they were terrible, when in fact, they just weren't done. Now I remind myself to keep going, and if it still turns out terrible, at least I've learned some things. I love how your mini canvases turned out, but especially like the second one. (I'm a sucker for landscapes) I'm glad you didn't give up on it. I'm really enjoying your channel and should be getting stuff done around the house, but I can't stop binge watching you!
Thanks Ruby! I've also had my share of ugly stage paintings that don't ever evolve, but I think it's still a win when you don't let that stop you from trying again! And I know the feeling of binge watching videos for sure. 😉
You are a pleasure to watch!
Thanks so much Laura! 💕
New subbie. I love what I’m seeing such great inspiration for a newbie like me. I’d honestly watch anything long or short . Thank you for sharing your ideas with us x Lisa uk
Thanks so much Lisa! Hope you are having a lovely week.
So pretty!
