I'm glad you enjoyed it! Always happy to share the realities of my sketchbooks, especially if it helps others to just go for it and not worry about perfectionism! 😘
They do fill me with glee😂. I paused on the new mini palette to check out the actual colours--of course it was burnt sienna. I enjoyed the flip through and now I’m looking forward to seeing what new supplies you have. Because that is the second best thing to getting my own new things.
Your videos are always inspiring. Not just the art itself but also the feeling of experimentation and lack of fear of making “bad art”. My favorite is when you point to something that you don’t think turned out well, but all I was thinking up to that point was how interesting it is. Another lesson for my brain that art is subjective, we can be our own worst critics sometimes, and theres no bad art if you’re having a good time (ESPECIALLY in a sketchbook). It’s amusing to me that David grumbles about how you’ve drawn him. I think I’d be tempted to draw him with three eyes or something just to mess with him a bit! I’ve not ventured much into drawing people (yet?), but it’s making me laugh to imagine drawing my husband at my current skill level and him trying to diplomatically ask if that’s really how he looks. 😂
We were in Groningen on the 9th at The Grand Theatre where we gave a presentation. And got completely wet in the rain. Would still like to meet up but until then, I like your work.
Hey Jackie! Sorry to have missed you - I was aware that you’d be in town, but my OH has been dragging me to many of the Euro games this summer, and I didn’t want to commit and then perhaps cancel. Hope the presentation went well?
Thanks Karyne! It's actually an Art Creations sketchbook from Roral Talent. The paper is an off-white, cream color and as long as it's a small amount of water, works well enough without any prep! Watercolor paint will dry fast on the paper, as it's not cotton, but as I only use these sketchbooks for play, I'm fine with that. 😘
I love how many different things are in your sketchbook and I love your explanations.
Thank you so much! I do treat my sketchbooks as a place of play, to try things out. 😍
So many beautiful drawings. And how quickly you managed to fill up your sketchbook. Thanks for sharing the flip through.
Thanks Jessica! This was definitely a rarity, filling it up so quickly, but I needed that ‘creative time’ so it makes sense. 😘
I enjoyed browsing your sketchbook with you. Your sketchbook is really a sketchbook! That's great to see.

Fun tour! I loved seeing the references that inspired the portraits and hearing your explanations.
@@sketchbookscheming thank you so much! I should do more portraits, I find them quite fun! 😎

Ha ha ha, I suspected you’d like that ditty! 😆 Yes, burnt sienna! Couldn’t leave it out.. 👀 And the new supplies will go up in a couple weeks.. 🤞
WoW! That’s Lovely! Have An Incredible Weekend! 🤩❤️✨
Thank you so much - hope your weekend is also a good one! 😘

@@RachelVanse thank you Rachel! I can’t see the full comment (on my phone) to reply in full so will come back later and do so properly! 😘

I really love your landscapes! How are you using wet media in that sketchbook? It’s a moleskin, right? Do you prep the paper with watercolor ground?
