I may have told you that I am 68 and just starting my art journey. I absolutely love your sketch books. I am binge watching you now whenever I can. Thank you so very much for your help and support in our creativity. I need all the help I can get. Very much enjoyed everything I have watched. Thanks again love to all from Ontario ❤️🙏😍🙏🥰👍
Hi Jeanette! I too began my art journey last year at 68, and I take delightful inspiration from Creative Paula. many years ago, I read a wise statement that stuck with me throughout my life: A woman can lose herself in painting; a woman can find herself in painting. This is never more true than for you and I. Best wishes from Buffalo, NY to you in your journey of exploration.
I needed this today ❤ I've been so unwell and unable to make "Art" that it was a well needed reminder to just have fun and enjoy play time with materials x
Thanks so much for posting this!!! This tutorial made my day!! I just moved and getting very antsy to create! Now I have to find my markers in storage ASAP!! 🥰☺️🙏🏼
Very fun and it looks great, all of them. I especially love the frog, so cute. The lines in the beginning are very good to zone out I think, I'm going to try that one, it looks nice too. Thank you 💖💖💖💖
Another great week of wonderful art ideas....your moth and dragonfly are so beautiful....i love the froggy pucture and tge bunnies playing in the clouds also....THANK YOU AGAIN for some more great ideas!
The way you did the water was so fun!! I live in pacific northwest in USA on the ocean and want to try it asap to draw some of the orcas we have here. Can't wait, than u for sharing
🎉🎉🎉 wohoo i love your videos with your art in it and your calming voice ❤❤❤ i want to doodle strait away 🌞 have a great time amazing Paula ✨thank u for sharing your talent with us 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
@bycreativepaula I thought there was something off. I tried to go back to it cus you had some great ideas I wanted to try and couldn't find it till this comment lol
Paula, I LOVED this sketchbook ideas video & I’ve asked for these Arrtx Simptap Acrylic Markers for Christmas. You always inspire me so much and I love these ideas videos SO MUCH. Please also continue to include us in all your prompt book journeys (Create this book, Christmas advent, coloring books, etc) You are a priceless gem and you truly add so much to my week each time you post.
Another wonderful video! You’re getting closer to 1 million! I bought your coloring book. Love it, but haven’t had the nerve to color yet! Maybe this weekend. Blessings…
Thank you so much!!! Please jump in! I’ll share videos on my book starting next week and from there I’ll probably host buddy coloring on insta, and maybe live coloring here 😊
Great ideas and artwork. 😃👍🏼 Love each page. ❣ I love the clouds and bunnies page. ☁🐇 Your moth and dragonfly are beautiful.❣ I love stickers, and still have my collection from my youth. 😃👍🏼 love your "sticker" page.
Paula, mis emociones han estado tan desreguladas debido a las elecciones... realmente necesitaba relajarme y hacer algo de arte que me llevara a otra parte. Tus videos hacen precisamente eso! Dios te siga bendiciendo!
I love the bunny cloud page!! ☁️ Your levels of the earth inspired painting is stunning!! 🌏 The frog is so cute!! 🐸 The moth and dragonfly are beautiful together!! 🦋 The ocean is lovely and serene!! 🌊 What a wonderful combination of mushrooms!! 🍄 You really have a very whimsical style in your sketchbook! 🥰 I think the bunnies would be great in an office as well!! 🐇 Bright and cheerful!! 🌈
We're gonna be moving around this year to a newer place, and I'm excited mostly for having a type of art room all of my own. Hopefully new environment will help spark some new creativity.
I LOVE your content Paula! I'm kind of obsessed right now lol! My chance to create is at night after everyone's in bed, so I will play your videos on repeat as a general vibe while I'm attempting to get my creative juices flowing. You put so much thought and love into your content and art and that shows. ❤ The Arrtx markers really confuse me. I have not used these Simptap ones, but I have purchased their other brush tip acrylic markers (twice) and they start off strong but dry out within a couple of months. I just bought the Ohuhu 30 count Kakaako Series Acrylic dual ended markers...so far, so good! I'm starting to think that markers that need shaking are probably the most consistent. Even though they can be a mess for you in your high altitude! 😝 p.s. I'm also really into moths and butterfly art right now, so this video really hit the spot! THank you!! ☺️ ❤ @creativepaula
Hi!! Thank you so much! I was just answering another comment about this! So I’ll probably make a video about it… the arrtx normal brush markers are the best for little things and crafting in my opinion… for painting large areas these are far superior since they are more painterly. But the Ohuhu set you have is amazing for that too! So unless you want more colors that one is great for sketchbook play!
@bycreativepaula yes pls sweetie your art inspires me and I live in South Australia 🇦🇺 be really really beautiful in my bedroom , kitchen my lounge room and our art room just the simple ideas and you putting them on the wall is magical. 100% beautiful art xxxx thank you for your reply xxx
Paula, you are an inspiration. I love your work. Question- do you have a process to turn your art into an art piece that can be hung on a wall? Please share. Thank you in advance.
I am going to make a video about this next year; for now the most important thing is to get a really good picture or scan from the original art … then you can have it professionally printed
Please, I have asked before, but that was on an older video…. Please can you show us how you do your mock-ups of wall art? (Or even tell us what you use?) Please? 💜
I don’t know why people think that a marker is supposed to magically match a digitally created color cap. Things like markers and paints have tones that they cannot manipulate. A cool toned red will always be cool toned. You don’t have that limitation with digital colors
Love these videos. Question: I have the first set of Artexx and eh... they are ok for block drawing. Do you like these new ones better? I know it's a hard to answer question but just wondering which you prefer, messy paint aside. Thx
I think I might do a video about this; so the other markers are the ones I use most on a daily basis but for little things: highlights in coloring books, details on crafts; stuff like that…. For covering large areas and “painting” these are much better… they never feel dry like the other ones do. These are for sure the most painterly . And then for in the go the Ohuhu set is my favorite
Hello Paula…….I think I may have asked you this before…..but what app do you use to be able to enlarge your artwork onto those backgrounds…..it looks fab when they are blown up onto the wall 🤩 I did download an app to try and it did work, but it only gives you a one size format unless you pay for the app. Loving your videos….as always 😊😊😊 I have continued to watch this video, and can see that the app you have was the same as the one I have…….I recognised the table with the lamps in one of the examples 😂😂 With the free version, that is the only example that they give you……or at least I think so. I need to go to the tuition part to find out more 🤪🤣
I listened to an acrylic artist and she said not to use watercolor brushes for acrylics because they DO get damaged. I purchases a set of cheap synthetic ones just for acrylics. Hopefully they last a bit longer but at least won't destroy my watercolor brushes.
I may have told you that I am 68 and just starting my art journey. I absolutely love your sketch books. I am binge watching you now whenever I can. Thank you so very much for your help and support in our creativity. I need all the help I can get. Very much enjoyed everything I have watched. Thanks again love to all from Ontario ❤️🙏😍🙏🥰👍
Hey again! You did! I think any time you start is the perfect time to start! As long as you enjoy it you’ll do great in sure! 😊

This is beautiful and inspiring, Jeanette ❤
I love how Paula makes mistakes but always fixes them instead of having an 'artistic tantrum'
LOVED the moth and the dragonfly
Thank you so much!
I needed this today ❤ I've been so unwell and unable to make "Art" that it was a well needed reminder to just have fun and enjoy play time with materials x
Oh I hope you get better! And yes! Just have fun either way it, don’t worry about the result 😊
Sorry you have been poorly 😔
Hoping you feel better soon and are able to get back into enjoying playing with your art making again soon 🤗

Cuánto me alegro! Muchísimas gracias de verdad! ❤️
Love all your videos. I share with my BFF who wants so badly to create but is afraid to start. Hope she can start just jumping right in!😊❤❤
Hi! Thank you! I really hope this helps and she starts!!!
I like the first one you made 😊.
You inspire me 😊 I’ll recommend your channel 👍🏻☺️🥹💕
Hi from Canada 🇨🇦
Hi! Thank you!
Omg I struggle so much with symmetry too and moths and butterflies are always so hard to draw for me. Yours came out beautiful, as everything!
Hola Danny!!! Thanks! Well it’s definitely not symmetrical but looks ok haha, thank you so much!
All the pages are favorites here. Lines especially.
Thank you! I love that one too!
I love the bunny cloud page!! ☁️ Your levels of the earth inspired painting is stunning!! 🌏 The frog is so cute!! 🐸 The moth and dragonfly are beautiful together!! 🦋 The ocean is lovely and serene!! 🌊 What a wonderful combination of mushrooms!! 🍄 You really have a very whimsical style in your sketchbook! 🥰 I think the bunnies would be great in an office as well!! 🐇 Bright and cheerful!! 🌈

I love all of the art, but the ocean and mushrooms are my favorites.
You inspired me-I want to play like that with my coloring pencils!!! edit: yeah, i sketch pretty well but coloring is just so fun!!!
I’m hooked on coloring too! 😊
Absolutely beautiful ✨️ love your frog best 😊
Thank you! 😊
We're gonna be moving around this year to a newer place, and I'm excited mostly for having a type of art room all of my own. Hopefully new environment will help spark some new creativity.
Oh wow for sure! What a blessing congrats!

I want the flower one in my bedroom and the rock layer one in my lounge room beautiful colours
Thank you so much! Maybe I should make prints!
@bycreativepaula yes pls sweetie your art inspires me and I live in South Australia 🇦🇺 be really really beautiful in my bedroom , kitchen my lounge room and our art room just the simple ideas and you putting them on the wall is magical.
100% beautiful art xxxx thank you for your reply xxx
Fun! I think my favorite is the cloud bunnies =)
❤
Super cute ideas. I love the bunnies and clouds. That would be sweet in a nursery. What kind of paper/sketchbook do you use?
Thank you so much! I’m using Canson watercolor paper; here’s the link: amzn.to/4hCcBWb
Paula, you are an inspiration. I love your work. Question- do you have a process to turn your art into an art piece that can be hung on a wall? Please share. Thank you in advance.

48 markers for $45, wow that's a great deal! Looks like fun
The frog looks like Moriah Elizabeths one frog with flowers out of its head
I know! Once I drew it I thought it was very similar 😊
Please, I have asked before, but that was on an older video…. Please can you show us how you do your mock-ups of wall art? (Or even tell us what you use?) Please? 💜
Sure thing! I use an app called Smartist

I need to go to the tuition part to find out more 🤪🤣
Haha yeah Smartist; I’m reaching out to them to collaborate
Let’s see if I can get something for my viewers 😊
As an acrylic painter do you have favorite brushes?
I don’t because I destroyed them too often, so I get a lot of cheaper ones
I listened to an acrylic artist and she said not to use watercolor brushes for acrylics because they DO get damaged. I purchases a set of cheap synthetic ones just for acrylics. Hopefully they last a bit longer but at least won't destroy my watercolor brushes.
How do you do the wall mockups?
I use an app called Smartist
Do you use an app to show your art on a living room wall? How do you do that?
I do; it’s called Smartist
