OK, lady...your channel just popped into my algorithm, AND I AM HOOKED😊😊😊 I am a watercolor LOVER /amateur, and I loved this video. I subscribed before the video was finished😮😅. So nice to "meet" you and hope to see lots more. Great video, beautiful work!!! Thank you, Dawn in Georgia🍑
Thank you for the in depth tour of your sketchbooks. I love the "peek behind the curtain." I really hope you make a book of your favorites like you mentioned in the beginning. :)
Just found your channel, glad this is the first video i see. Feels to go on a journey to get to know you. Love your explanations, superlove your style and way to explore the colours. ❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So great! I love seeing all your palette choices, and really enjoyed your art and narrative. Especially Inktober when you tipped the wagon over and lit it on fire 🤭
HAHA Never again with the Inktober! I always have the best intentions, but you know what they say about that! Thank you for watching and commenting! xo
I love these sketchbooks and how you experiment and play in them. It’s inspiring me. I’m learning a lot from your videos today. Thank you so much for sharing
Loving your vids!! Heads up, painting the covers of Etchr Lab sketchbooks with heavy body acrylic is an awesome thing. 😉🙌🏼 And... I too LOVE LOVE LOVE crunchy painted pages.
Ooooh I will have to try that if I ever buy one again! The paper is nice and the quality is great, I just hate the white fabric and how it feels. blehhhh hahah!! Thank you for watching and commenting!! xo
I know this video is a little bit old and you might already know this, but if you love the crinkly thin paper you have to try painting on Tomoe River Paper ❤ the best!!
So fun to see all of your sketchbooks! I was just in Preston for a week visiting my son and his family. We love it there. You talked about your kidney transplant and trips to Salt Lake. I’m currently awaiting for qualification for a double lung transplant in Salt Lake. I think I too will be painting a lot when it happens. I’m enjoying your videos! Thank you for sharing!
What a brilliant idea! Both of those things are embedded throughout my workshops, but it would be so cool to have a workshop dedicated to them!! Thanks, love it!!
I haven’t yet! I am not sure I want to ever re cover a sketchbook again because I ended up weakening the spine. If I could find a better way I will make a video!
I really enjoyed seeing all your sketchbooks. You are very talented. I also love Etchr the best! I would sure love to know how you make your sketchbooks and cover them with PU leather. I am very fond of Stoneground Paint Co gouache! Have you tried them?
Hello, I buy it in packs of 10 full sheets from Jerry’s Artarama! I now offer samples on my website though if you want to try it without the investment! Www.Ashleyhawkeswatercolor.com
I hear you girl!! I often get asked if I have ever modeled, played basketball, ran track...and while I CAN do those things, they don't interest me. Then they look at me like my height and long legs are just a waste of space. haha I did enjoy a bit of church volleyball though!
I can totally understand how that could be discouraging! I’m a bit of a color nerd, but if that isn’t for you, you do you! I love how many convenience colors are available out there! Thanks for your comment!
That was the most enjoyable 1 hour and 19 minutes of youtube in a long time! And no ads! Thank you!
You’re so welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏻
@ i do love to swatch all my art supplies.. but you swatch to another level!!..so fun…gave me some new ideas (I subscribed as well)
OMG yes, Ruth Wiltshaw is awesome isn't she! Love all of her tutorials. The subject matter she does is always so beautiful and fantastical!
Yes!! I am so grateful for her magical gouache tutorials! I hated gouache before her! She helps show how incredible it can be!

Oh very cool! I wonder if I know your son! We love it here although winters are a challenge! Thanks for watching and commenting! 💗
I hope your transplant goes well!
Damn I wish I could inherit some artist grade watercolors 😅😅
Right?!? I still pinch myself!!
Hi Ashley. Could you do some workshops on swatching and mixing? I would love to learn!
What a brilliant idea! Both of those things are embedded throughout my workshops, but it would be so cool to have a workshop dedicated to them!!
Thanks, love it!!
@@ashleyhawkeswatercolor I just LOVE your color enthusiasm and like you said, it's an art in and of itself!
Did you ever make a video on you recovering your sketchbooks
I haven’t yet! I am not sure I want to ever re cover a sketchbook again because I ended up weakening the spine. If I could find a better way I will make a video!

Never heard of soft pressed. Where do you purchase this? Thanks!

I am 6 feet tall. All the coaches chased me, but I can only play volleyball.
I hear you girl!! I often get asked if I have ever modeled, played basketball, ran track...and while I CAN do those things, they don't interest me. Then they look at me like my height and long legs are just a waste of space. haha I did enjoy a bit of church volleyball though!
@ashleyhawkeswatercolor By the time I got to college, I learned to eat first and then talk sports. I never got a 2nd meeting.
Love your video but why all the science of mixing colors? It is discouraging. I love my colors as I go along with my painting.
I can totally understand how that could be discouraging! I’m a bit of a color nerd, but if that isn’t for you, you do you! I love how many convenience colors are available out there! Thanks for your comment!
