Mixed media sketchbook flip-through

- Last week, I opened up about my current sketchbook journey, and today, I'd like to share some insights as to how they are coming along. When it comes to working inside of my sketchbooks, I'm not aiming for picture-perfect, flawless pages; rather, I view my sketchbooks as personal workspaces, wellsprings of inspiration, and a way to connect with my inner creative self - something every artist should prioritize. So tune in and let me know what you think in the comments below!

"Constantly refining what you care about is important in art." I honestly did not know this. I looked at art as production with the end stage finding it on a wall. You're right because in other art genres like songwriting , refining brings the artist closer to the vision not the product.
Yes!!! 🖌 ❤
Thanks to you, I have been able to create much better and more inspirational scratch books. Going through them, keeps my inspirational juices flowing.
So glad I could help! ❤
Dear Louise, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing all of us with so much free inspirations.
This is not a given and that is why I would like to thank you.
The video series about sketchbooks really inspired me. I like old book pages and collage paper myself.
Now you have made my creative spark shine. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Warmely Conny
So glad I could give even just a tad bit of inspiration. Thank you for watching! ❤
Thank you, Louise! I love all of your books and love the idea of movement and energy!
You are so welcome!
Thank You Dear Louise for another inspiring video filled with your wonderful thoughts as you flip through your most interesting sketchbooks! It helps me to look at your sketchbooks and ask myself- which part is my favorite and why. Hearing what you like and don’t like is also so educational to me. It helps me develop my own language as an artist. Your insight and most generous sharing has helped me more in my quest to practice art making than any teacher I’ve ever had. You truly are a rare gem. You have creativity and art running through your veins and you are such a wise teacher. Thank you as always from the bottom of my heart. I look forward to joining Art tribe in the near future. Much love to you and yours!

Awww thank you Jalyne for all your amazing comments. It truly means so much to me. ❤
I've loved this deep dive into sketchbooks (thinking about this video, your newsletter and the most recent Art Juice.) This video, in particular, feels like a permission slip. A permission slip to play, experiment, be ugly and incomplete. In other words, step wholeheartedly into the mystery of living and creating. Thank you!
A permission slip to play, experiment, be ugly and incomplete. I couldn't have said it better! ❤
Seeing the variety of books you use and your attitude about how you use them was extremely helpful. I am a FYJ 23 student, and throughout my experience with you, you have always been very open and honest about your process. I appreciate that SO MUCH.
Glad it was helpful!
Love this Louise, especially the fact that at 8.02 you use a bill from Prideaux of Barnstaple, North Devon. In the 1960s my partner used to buy car parts from Prideaux or the company it later became. Barnstaple is where I do my shopping!
So cool!
Wonderful!
So glad you enjoyed it!
I love this collage book. I love that it still feels like a working artists experiments vs some precious art journal. That’s not to say I don’t love these. But it’s cool how you just keep coming back to things. My sketchbook is always a hodge podge . Still your goes together. But I’m still figuring out my style.
I think we all have our own ways which is what makes us each unique as an artist. ❤
Love the idea of using old books for sketchbooks! Thank you !
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
I can't tell you how many times in your videos that I have watched you paste or paint over some of my favorite bits of your explorations. ("Oh nooo") ROFL! Enjoy your videos very much. I need to hear all of the art wisdom that you so freely dispense, so thank you again.
I'm so glad!
Really enjoyed this. I have just started my very first art sketchbook and loving it. I also love the grunge look.😀
Thank you so much 😀
Dear Louise, thank you very much for this great video series about sketchbooks.
Since I'm still suffering from Long Covid, I can only paint while sitting. In order to stay in touch with my art despite illness, sketchbooks have become very important to me.
Like you, I love text, old book pages and scribbles.
Your video has given me new food for thought and inspiration.
I love watching you create. Hopefully you will make more videos about sketchbooks.
By the way, your cat in the background of the video looks like my cat Lilly. It's so good to have such a little art lover in the studio. By the way, I have 3 of them...

So glad I could provide even just a little bit of inspiration ❤
PS: that cat isn't mine! She just likes to come in and keep warm x
I am so encouraged to witness your very organic exploration of self, put on paper.
Aww thank you for your sweet words maggie ❤
Unique is what we seek.
Yes, always!
One Of A Kind --- and nothing is "worth-less" on that yoyage - all is expression of the very most inner section of our Selves... Resonation and reaction - we are generally so rich and full of refined emotions - combined with artsy movement ... Thank you very much - this is so encouraging and very helpful - :-) xx
So glad to hear you enjoyed it! ❤
Thanks, Louise, I always enjoy your permission-giving videos. And thanks for the weekly newsletters, too. Very helpful. Since I took your FYJ 12-week workshop, I need a touch of your encouragement to get at it & have fun.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Louise for showing pieces of your process. You encourage me to explore, and trying to figure out why I like something or not. I also learned from your videos the freedom of having ongoing work that doesn't have to get finished. So thank you for lots of inspiration! +like your cute cat in the background 😍
So glad this helped (that's not even my cat!! It's my neighbour's 😂)
It was great to see your books. Also your kitty!
Aww thank you Pamela!
I love Louise's art and the way she teaches. I have taken three of her extended workshops and hope to take more if she offers them. I really enjoyed this look at her sketchbooks because I love to look at people's processes of ideation + I love to keep sketchbooks myself. Working in sketchbooks is so freeing and meaningful. I get so many ideas just from fiddling around...and then I find myself going down new pathways. One thing I found funny in this video, though, was that two of the pages that Louise flipped through in a hurry saying that she wasn't satisfied with them were two of my favorites :-)! Go figure!!
That is why art is so subjective. 😂 Glad you enjoyed the video!
I really enjoyed listening to you describe your sketchbook process! I, especially, loved the message at the end about the importance of keeping true to oneself and style of art.❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Also, love watching you work 😊
Thank you! 😊
Thanks Louise. Beautiful ❤and lovely piano music
Glad you liked it!
I absolutely loved this video, such inspiration and encouragement.
I am so fragmented at the moment after a lot of success.
This has given me so much. Thank you. Thank you.🌹
You are so welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Loving all your videos, thank you so much. What do you still everything down with?
Reminded me to get back to my sketch books and to put a bit more thought into them. I can be too practical. I can see how I might spend more time with my sketch books if I created a bit more romance with them. I can’t think of a better word than romance. 😊 Magic or special. No not it. 😂Thanks for showing your sketch books. ❤
Sketchbooks can be an amazing tool and romancing them is the perfect way of putting it. 😂❤
I also go back to pages in my sketchbook and re-do them, add marks, remove … it’s so interesting and intriguing, what sometimes comes out of it … what hides underneath
I completely agree! Sometimes it amazes me with what they end up becoming!
Louise have you seen Lydia rink she is the collage queen, she’s amazing same as you are ❤❤
Not yet!
now i am looking for books to use for my sketch books....
It's a fun project to try and tackle. ❤
👏👏👏👏👏
❤❤❤
Words to live by…if our art d doesn’t come from within ourselves…it’s not unique and special
So glad you enjoyed that! 😂
Thank you Louise. I not only enjoyed the video, I subscribed to the channel. Can you share more about your supplies and tools? Thank you in advance. Leslie: LSindtArt
