    I love the music you’ve used in this video, and the colour palette of the bird painting is absolutely gorgeous!
    I’m so looking forward to seeing the other birds that you’ll create in this series.
    Excellent tip on breaking in a sketchbook too! If you gave me a choice of these sketchbooks; I’d definitely be taking the Pith! 😁🤍😘 xxx

    I think that one of the most valuable things I'm learning from your supply swatches and such is that, contrary to how I used to do things, you don't have to buy the whole set. I love that you pick and choose by colour across various brands. And, yes, Payne's Grey is the bee's knees. I want all Payne's Grey in existence!

    • @NatashaNewtonArt
      @NatashaNewtonArt  2 роки тому +1

      It's been one of the most valuable things I've learned, as it means that you then curate your own very unique palette of colours that is personal to you. :)

    Just wanted to say hello, and thank you for your wonderful videos! I’m glad I recently re-discovered them! Two years ago, or so, you were one of the first channels to use Holbeins Acryla Gouache when it wasn’t well known, and now your swatches and hauls made me buy pastels and colored pencils! Something I thought I’d never do 😊 The way you use different mixed media to add texture is really unique and so creative! I can’t wait to try my Neocolors and Luminance pencils on my own art too! Thanks again for the inspiration! I’m looking forward to see more of your wonderful process!

    I loved seeing your sketchbooks! The Strathmore Mixed Media (soft cover) has been my go-to for quite a while. The paper really does take paint well-gouache and acrylic gouache and does reasonably well with watercolor. Colored pencil, too, because the tooth is good but not too textured. I try not to be too precious about mine (the current one is quite a mess, actually). Graphite does transfer and smear quite readily so I ended up putting deli paper between the pages so it wouldn’t turn into a total disaster. // The Pith is quite lovely! I may need to try that one. // Thanks so much for the lovely video!!! 💝

    • @NatashaNewtonArt
      @NatashaNewtonArt  2 роки тому

      If you like the Strathmore, you should definitely try the Pith! They're both lovely and both feel like such great quality sketchbooks. I loved the coloured pencil in the Strathmore, so I may experiment more with using pencil on its own as it feels so nice. And thank you! 🧡

    Perfect timing, I’ve recently started to get really into mixed media, and use a lot of the same art supplies as you, but have been having trouble finding a sketchbook that works well with everything. So thanks so much for the recommendations, I’ll definitely have to check out the sketchbooks.
    Also want to say that I love your content in general, especially since we seem to have very, very similar taste in colours and art supplies, so when I watch your videos I always find something new to try out.

    Caught up on your last two videos yesterday, went out and bought a whole bunch of the molotow markers in bright colours (that poison green is to die for), and some new schmincke/daniel smith (and a few cheaper brands aha) watercolour pans. Spent my evening painting a bright, sticker-like halloween themed painting, totally out of my comfort zone, and dying at the outcome, those markers are so so awesome. Have been thinking of what to do tomorrow with my new watercolours, and I'm so happy to see another new video from you. I vibe with your colour choices so much! Can't wait for the patreon =)

    Another wonderful video, thank you so much dear Natasha. Perhaps consider trying the chromium oxide green Neocolor II as a better match for your pallet. I feel its a much better pair for colors like Polychromos Earth Green...a pencil that I too adore. Another that I think might slot in nicely is the moss green which is sort of a deeper, richer version of the chromium oxide green. Again, thank you sincerely for another wonderful look into your process. I adore these videos. (Formerly Brian McCarthy)

    • @NatashaNewtonArt
      @NatashaNewtonArt  2 роки тому +1

      I've never done that but all my instincts would say: don't do it! It dries so quickly and once it's dry you can't rewet it, so it's unusable. Even paints in airtight palettes dry eventually. I would definitely keep it in the tube. I've never heard of anybody squeezing acrylic gouache into a pan, unless someone sees this comment and knows differently! :)
