  • Hi everyone, today I'm sharing with you my day in Victoria on Vancouver Island. I re-visited several places and created small sketches along the way. Finally I was able to do an escape trip after attending to my fur baby Dudu's recovery journey.
    🎨 Materials I used:
    Sailor's fude fountain pen (Bamboo Green)
    Noodler's Brown 41 Ink (to fill the fountain pen)
    Mungyo watercolors
    Etchr Mix-Media A4 size Landscape Sketchbook
    Holbein Water Brush (large tip)
    Holbein water brush (medium tip)
    🎨 I'm teaching online classes every week. Check them out the newest 2024 classes in my Ko-Fi Shop:

    Every day is a good day to make art. We don't need fancy subjects, but we need to pay attention to the beauty in the mundane.

    QUESTION: love your videos! Can you do an updated video on your watercolor palette please? Last one is from 3 years ago, and a refresher would be very helpful to show what colors are your most used, which ones are must haves, which you took out of your palette or replaced with different ones. Take care and keep up the good work.

    Thank you for a beautiful and informative video. Your narrative is entertaining too. I lived in Victoria many years ago and still visit family there annually. So glad to have found you and I’ll be watching all your videos now and following along when I can. 💖

    I’m still amazed at how you can draw with ink perfectly and not sketch with pencil first! You make it look effortless 😊 16:18

    That looks like a very nice place to visit Becky. Each place had it's own sense of beauty. I especially liked how they had the piano in place for people to play 🥰. You played nicely by the way ✨. Hoping Dudu is doing much much better now 🥰

    I visited Vancouver Island and stayed in Victoria in June 2015. It was absolutely stunning and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the beautiful sights. It was well worth the trip from Australia. Love your paintings Becky.❤

    I had a palette that pilled and beaded water like that. If that bothers you like it did me, take a very, very fine sandpaper and buff it briefly. Then you’ll be able to see the small pools of mixed paints. I absolutely love Victoria, BC. ❤

    What water brush do you use? I figure a recommendation from someone who actually uses a water brush regularly is “ worth the weight in gold.” Thank you

    Hi becky! I subscribed to you very recently. I am curious to know what book you use. Can you help me with it please?

    • @BeckyCao
      @BeckyCao  2 місяці тому

      I'm using an Etchr mix media A4 size Landscape sketchbook. I purchased it on their website: etchrlab.com/products/es-landscape
      It may be pricey, but you can get other brands of sketchbooks, for example, Moleskine watercolor album, Strathmore Visual Journal, both can be found on Amazon.
