    I am tending to like smaller 5 by 5 inch sketchbooks right now. It seems easier to complete a small drawing or painting. I always enjoy seeing your art and books!

    I’m so excited I found your channel! I’ve been wanting to do this for years and was too intimidated to start. I’m having back surgery next month, so next year when I’m getting around just fine I’ll be starting my nature journal ❤ Until then I’m going to be living for your videos!!!Thank you so much for all the information you provide.

    I think all sizes have there benefits. Just like you mentioned. I do love to work on the medium size sketchbook the most. Working on the big size I feel somewhat lost. 😅

    Fantastic tips and questions to ask ourselves! I can't say which is my favorite size, though -- they all have a purpose for different activities. I received a gift of a small 2" x 3" that I carry on my daily nature walks to capture just 1 plant that caught my eye that day, and that has turned out to be such a wonderful journal! There's no pressure to complete a big page or fear of the blank page. Most of my nature journaling is done in a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" mixed media sketchbook which fits great in my journal kit bag, so I would say medium size is my most commonly used. Thanks for sharing!

    I use a 7x10 mixed media spiral sketchbook for the most part. I sometimes make an accordion fold watercolor sketchbook if i’m wanting to do wetter, looser work. Those i make out of 9x12 pads so they end up being 6x9. I make those accordion folded so i can work with two or more continuous panels.

    Your sketches are beautiful I love A5 size sketchbooks because they suite all situations for me outside I hug mine close to sketch inside it's used on my desk also I love to put my yoga mat down and sketch in the living room this has a childish effect on my sketches and loosens up my artwork too thank you for sharing this video with really useful information hints and tips 😊
