In this sketchbook I focussed on developing my style through master studies.

As tempted as I am to just say, "Wow lady, you've sure got mad skills!!" I always try to comment on what specifically gets my attention in artists' videos. There's a lot to like in the way you capture light, dark, and subject matter in your studies, particularly of Sargent pieces. I think your pages @11:26 of your daughter and your hubby are my favorites. Each looks similarly engrossed, but in subtly different ways. Perhaps you're capturing your daughter at the start of her own art journey. Your husband's phone looks like a futuristic sci-fi object beaming both light and enlightenment onto his face. Your Sargent "Man Reading" study has a similar feel to your pic of your husband. The erasure study @2:35 came out amazingly well. I wish you had said more about the Jeffrey Jones study @0:35, and the source material. She looks like a 1920s extra-tall, Flapper-era fairy. The Bouguereau study @11:13 captures the subject and the background to an amazing degree, and I'm even more intrigued with how normal and unassuming your handwriting looks next to such a detailed drawing. Also, your fixative strategy seems to be working well. The piece at the left @5:00 is for me the only notable exception where something appears unfinished and maybe a bit "off", where the area at the top of her elaborate hairdo looks a little like a horn or a haircut mishap, so I'd love to know if anything happened there, or if it's just unfinished. The rest of it looks beautifully captured. I am encouraged at what can be accomplished with a lot of practice, but I also think if anything, if there's an art school in your life, you should be running it!!
💯✅️💯
glad you enjoyed the video! and thankyou for your feedback -it’s a pleasure to read your thoughts!
So wonderful and so impressive! Thank you for the inspiration 🥺
i am in LOVEE with your art and your sketchbookk
I have a little sketchbook that I use in a very similar way. I've mostly done studies of Sargent's drawings in it too. Loved seeing your work, it made me want to go draw 😄
That's awesome!
A lot of people see sketchbooks as more than just for sketches. I prefer them to be more messy and experimentation. It takes too much premeditation for me, I just want to pick it up a scribble. They're not to show anybody.
You just gived me so much motivation to continue to draw,so that I can be like you
so amazing i just want to draw all day after watching this
I'M THE BIGGEST FAN OF YOUR WORKS! I love it.
I love your sketchbook!
Un gran libro de arte, me encanta.

I would like to ask, how come your pages don't get graphite stains when the notebook is closed? I suffer a lot from this problem, one drawing stains another.
Sorry for my English, it's terrible. :(
I do get a bit of that! the elastic keeps the pages in place so they transfer less. I also use fixative spray which works well
Ooooh, just put on some hair spray over the drawing and it wont move or stand another drawing, I swear
She uses a fixative spray but if you really have nothing at home/ at hand, I sometimes just use an old hairspray can and give it a couple of light sprays to fix it. (I don’t use it for my hair, just had it for a party hairdo once 😂).
@@isabellaguimaraes8561 I can second (third?) the tips from other commenters - hairspray works like a dream. There’s potentially some long term archival issues so don’t use it on drawings you want to sell - but for sketchbook sketches it’s great. I’ve been known to pick up a travel hairspray for when I’m on the go
Why are you drawing this sargent person so much?
I covered this is 01:30 👍
Well first of all this person is John Singer Sargent… he was a very famous portrait artist in both Europe and the States. He was quite skillful in capturing the essence of the person he was painting with both beautiful color and brushwork. I recommend you look up this “sargent person”…
I really like it!
