- ❖Travel Journal SKETCHBOOK TOUR in ICELAND!
❖ This is my first Sketchbook Tour / Travel Journal / Urban Sketching abroad flip through!!! I worked on this sketchbook during a stopover in Iceland with a lot of different sketching, drawing, painting, techniques : watercolor, ink, pencils studies, watercolor pencil quickies. I also added quite a lot of ephemera collage to get the sens or travel journal and art journaling I like so much. Calligraphy and hand lettering enhance the work.

Hi! I had a big technical problem with this video so I wasn't able to release it last Friday as planned but I am really happy I finally managed to save it and that's it's available now!! I hope you will like the SKETCHBOOK TOUR with the close up views on the sketches, and the gear and technique sharing along with a few anecdotes about my travel adventures. :) Thanks in advance for your feedback! :)
So inspirational!! I hope your sketchbook is protected by a museum someday...thankyou..It makes me want to try this..with my home city. Portland OR...
I have been drawing and watercolor painting with a long time buddy of mine...we draw and paint in public various places and it is amazing how many people stop and chat...and I think that they would also like to have a social drawing and painting experience...
Thank you very much for your enthusiastic comment, Sweet Street!!! 😃 Ha ha, the museum thing is so fun and adorable!!! 😅😁😘 Yes, that's a lot of fun to do journaling in our home cities and known places too! So much to see, to enjoy, to enhance, and it can be a way to rediscover a place too. 😊
Lucky you that you have a drawing and painting buddy to sketch with!! 😃👍 That's awesome!! Yes, that's sometimes funny how some people don't care at all and others seem to amazed and interested that we are sketching a place just like that. 😊 Some teens say "But did you just draw all of this now ?! Here?!!!". 😅😁
You could create an Urban Sketching group if you think the people you see would like to join too. In fact, there probably is already one in Portland! Do you sketch with them sometimes ?! 😌 urbansketchers-portland.blogspot.fr
Oh I didn't know about that! I am going to have to get a little brave (artist hermit me) and get out there :)...
the main thing for so many artists and especially in a group setting is to unplug our inner critic...
This is what so many people bring up conversationally if they see me drawing in public and I struggle with it of course too..
I started watercolors...using my brush cleaning page...as the start of a new painting..because that way I can't make it worse and I am more likely to take risks and be free-er...
I have gotten a tad out of practice...now needing reading glasses and facing that change....so I am thankful for your inspiration, so glad to see you sharing life this way :)
Hi Sweet Street! Wonderful, I am so happy I made you discover the Portland Urban Sketchers group! 😃 I hope you will join them sometimes, that's so nice to share great time with other artists. Yes, our inner critic is evil but, you know, it shouldn't be stronger with other sketchers because we all know sketching is difficult and are impressed by what others are doing and all sharing to shares things together. 😊
Your brush cleaning technique seems really fun and a good idea! Good luck with your glasses then! 😬😅
I am so glad your follow me. ❤️ My first artist VLOG is coming!! 😱😃
I will stay tuned !!
Excellent !!! J'imagine que vous fabriquez vous-même vos carnets façon "cahiers de travaux pratiques" de notre enfance ! ? Alternance de canson ordinaire? Et de papier aquarelle bien sûr.
Je me reconnais dans la diversité qui caractérise vos croquis. Votre liberté et votre technique produisent des perles, et la mise en page est vraiment chouette. Bon, j'adore!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻(Je m'habitue à votre parler en très bon anglais bien frenchie ! 😊
Second degree I suppose?! 😉) Merci beaucoup, vous m'inspirez et me confortez dans mes essais divers et variés de croquis.
Anne-Laure I love your sketchbook. Your creativity is so fun and memorable!.
Thanks a lot for these lovely compliments Joh Ma. 😊
Absolutely Fabulous! U are so cute. Ur work inspires this Texas cowgirl! Going to Greece and i want to paint while there! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your sketchbook with the world - the way you capture your experiences and the world around you is very inspiring and I'm a little sad I didn't do this previously when I travelled but I will now. Thank you again!
Hi Emma, thank you for your compliments and your reaction to the video! 😊 About not doing it previously, I know this feeling but we can never do it all. 😌 When I started sketching and painting, a few years ago, I thought about the time when I was not sketching that I didn't recorded the same way... Some times are recorded with photography, some are not... Some times with sketching, some are not... And now that I am more and more interested by the video, I tend to think, sometimes : what a shame that I didn't do it sooner and record some other life moments with filmmaking!... 😯
But we can't spend our life having regrets about what we didn't do at some point. 😊 This is a nice thing that our life is recorded one way or another at some point (it can be letters you write, or journaling or poetry, or photos, or sketches or anything) and this is good to keep evolving and finding new way to record the lovely things in life and express ourselves!
That's wonderful that you decided that you would record your next travels in a sketchbook! 😃👍 You can even start to record things from your life right now. 😊
It will be nice for the recording, and a good practice to be prepared for the situations you will encounter when traveling. I am happy I inspired you, keep the creativity flowing, Emma! 😝
:-) I've started by recording where I live and the house/house-items before we move. I'm loving it. x
Wonderful!!! :D
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing.
Trop bien !!!
Merci Jean-François, ça me fait très plaisir !! 😊
Hello, I just finished looking at your New England, New York journal, and it gave me great joy. I lived in Boston area many years ago. and it brought back happy memories. Thank you!
oh fantastic!! Will you visit Australia one day. :D
Thank you so much!! 😊 I hope so!!! Finger crossed. 😃
It seems that I have quite a bit of Australien followers. ☺️🧡
Could not understand a freaking word she said
We leave for Iceland in a few days for a two week tour. I’m taking some watercolor supplies and a sketchbook. Thank you for inspiring me!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! I'm going to check out your sketchbook making videos!
Really enjoyed your lovely sketchbook tour and your tips for quick sketching
Question: when you paint in these mixed paper sketchbooks, do you use the pages in order or you just pick the type of paper you need for the kind of art you want to produce?
Wonderful natural scrap/sketchbook! Gorgeous!
What a cutie pie you are! You brighten my day. Thank you!
this was lovely...thanks...can't find your Ontario sketchbook...did you make a video of it?
I love this. How you combined objects with your journaling and you art all in one place. In a sketchbook that you made!! Very nice. Love the boats and the water and the birds.
Ich liebe Aquarele sehr. Dein gefallen mir auch. Aber du selber bist viel zu laut.
I was also wondering what is the other paper in your journal besides the Fabriano Artistico?
The other paper is by the French brand Clairefontaine. I ma not sure you can find it outside of France... It's the "Papier dessin cartridge Studio Gerstaecker by Clairefontaine", 160 gsm. I can by it A4 size or A3 etc. 😊 It's more like Bristol board.
In Germany we have this paper
Thx for sharing, I have been in Iceland from May to July 2017 - not much rain and mostly sunshine, untypical for the country. Loved it, the country has so much to offer. Love your style !
Anne-Laure I love this sketchbook and video. We were in Iceland in December and loved it so much. It was around -1 C which was ok for the time of year (we are from Toronto so we're used to cold winter weather) but too cold to sketch outside. I'm still finishing my sketchbook journal from there. You have inspired me to push on. I so want to go back there! I can't wait to see your sketching from Ontario! I watched a lot of your other videos and was wondering will you be doing any sketching trips like you did before? I would be so interested. Thank you for sharing your sketches, processes, inspiration and positive energy.

Bonjour Anne-Laure,
J'ai beaucoup aimé que dans ton carnet tu incorpores des objets, des collages, des photos et même des tampons avec tes aquarelles. Ce n'est pas si fréquent parmi les aquarellistes il me semble....!!!
What a wonderful sketchbook tour! Loved the close ups, your tips for quick sketching and the anecdotes. Thank you!
I love your art and channel and your energy! Thanks for showing your beautiful art!
Super mam..
What a beautiful sketchbook I love it. What camera do you use for the tiny photos?
So interesting. Thank you, Anne Laure for sharing. :)
First off, I loveee that your channel name alludes to Alice in Wonderland as AiW is my biggest art inspiration!! Soo jealous that you went to Iceland! I need to visit one day soon!! I tried a little travel sketchbook a while back but it wasn't as in depth as this at all! But this is inspiring me so much!! Your Paris sketch of the Louvre is loely. I'm so in love with how deep the colors of your art are! Do you make these sketches in real time while you're on your trip or do you do it after the trip? Those minimalist landscapes!!!
Hi ShinYi-Nomi!!! 😃 Thank you so much for your wonderful enthusiastic comment! I was so happy to read it. 😊 I changed the name of my channel rather recently so I am really happy you liked it so much! I am doing a video to talk about Alice in Wonderland and explain why I chose "Following the White Rabbit" as a name for my channel. ☺️
I think I will definitely need to come back in Iceland too with a better equipment, more clothes, more prepared, and in order to enjoy other places than Reykjavik. 😉
I am French, by the way. I live in North of France near Belgium. 😊 And you, in the US?! Thanks for all your compliments, I am glad I inspired you with my sketchbook. 😁
Yes, I always make my sketches pleinair, in the fields, on location! 😅 I like having the subject in front of my eyes, feeling the place, and the adventures that goes together with this kind of "Urban Sketching" approach usually make the sketches more spontaneous, more dynamic, looser so nicer. 😊
Thanks again for your great feedback on my sketches and sketchbook!! I love your videos too, I am going to make a comment there as well. 😌😉 See you! 😘
Your sketches are absolutely stunning! What precious memories. I love your channel and your sketchbooks. Subscribed.
Hi Aneta, I am so happy you liked my sketches, my channel. Thank you so much for the sub. ☺️
Your compliments make me really happy. 😊
Wonderful sketch book, loads of ideas and well thought out.
Wonderful sketch book! I Really love your style! Where do you live in France?
Hi! Thanks a lot for your compliments!! ☺️
I live in North of France, near Belgium. 😊
Wow I just discovered your channel and YOU ARE AWESOME!! Your ideas and sketchbooks look amazing Im a FAN!!
Thank yoooooou Moonlightlin!! 😃 Welcome!!! 🎉😝 😘
Your compliments about the channel made me really happy, thanks!! I hope you will enjoy watching the other videos as well. 😊
See you!!! 👋 😌
very nice sketchbook ! I love how " travelly " it feels ! thanks for sharing
Merci thank you Isabelle. 😉 C'est sympa d'être venue voir la vidéo ! 😌
Journaling/Sketchbooking/TravelJournaling rocks!!! 😝🤘
Salut!!! Thanks for sharing your sketchbook - I just loooooooved it! I envy all of you who live in Europe and can just hop over to another country so easily - Iceland is definitely on my travel wish list - a million miles from Australia... I’m looking forward to more of your sketchbooks. Anne-Laure I loooove your palette of colours, can you please tell me which colours you use.
Hello Magdalena! 😊 I am happy you liked the sketchbook and it gave you a bit of fresh air and sense of traveling abroad. 😁😉
I plan the video about the palette really soon, promise. 😘 (and more sketchbook tours 😃)
Wow! Please upload more sketchbooks! Very inspiring! Ok, I admit, I am binge watching your video's right now. So much fun. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much Bojoura! I will!! 😃 Thanks for your compliments and for binge watching my channel. 😁🤣😘
I started to make videos again a few weeks ago but now I am uploading severals videos every week and am very excited with the channel. 😊 See you, then!! 😉
This is so beautiful. This can be actual book!!
Another great video! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Love your sketchbook so many great ideas!!!
Thank you for bringing your energy and enthusiasm to this venue!😍
Joy, thank you do much for being so enthusiastic too about my sketchbook work, my videos, my presence on UA-cam! 😃😘
Yes I like to watch videos with enthusiastic charismatic people sharing things they are passionate about so I try my best so that my passion shows the other side of the screen. 😊 Because passion is so wonderful!!!! 😃 Along with creativity, of course. 😌
I am really happy you found my sketchbook could be a good inspiration and it gave you new ideas. 😊
Anne-Laure, this was quite a remarkable journal! I am actually surprised at how much ephemera (coins and shells) you could glue in, and the book still not be as thick as I would expect. Your art is gorgeous and I look forward to seeing more! Thank you for taking us along!
Thank you so much for your kind words about the sketchbook Corikay. 😊 I admit I don't usually paste or glue things that thick but I got carried away by the shell and coins appeal I guess! 😁 And I am glad I did it. As you said, the sketchbook is not so enormous so it opens opportunities and can give us new ideas! 😛 A few years ago, I started to write down ideas for an article than would have been called "the craziest things I pasted in my sketchbook". I should definitely make it with a video. 🤣
You have created a beautiful and unique sketchbook! What kind of paper did you use in addition to the Fabriano? It looked as though some of the pages were quite smooth. I loved listening to your narration - your enthusiasm is catching.
Thank you very much for your compliments Sharon. 😊 I am so happy you liked the video!!! 🎉
The other paper is by the French brand Clairefontaine. I ma not sure you can find it outside of France... It's the "Papier dessin cartridge Studio Gerstaecker by Clairefontaine", 160 gsm. I can by it A4 size or A3 etc. 😊 It's more like Bristol board.
Yaaayy... I've been waiting for a sketchbook tour!! 😍😍 I really love your loose style of painting! I really need to loosen up.. I tend to be too uptight with my paintings, it stresses me out sometimes.
Your sketchbook is so precious and beautiful 🤗💝 thanks for sharing!
Yaaayy and it's live now!!! 😃🎉 Thanks for your enthusiasm, Elga. 😊 I hope that watching my videos will help you to loosen up if that's what you want to! Use a big juicy brush to paint, set a 15 mn alarm, splatter on the page first thing, tilt a bit your paper or sketchbook to encourage the melting and you are good to go?!! 😝 Just some thoughts. 😌
Iceland has been a dream of mine...someday. Love the idea of the minimalist approach and your color choices are so beautiful. You always inspire me and I thank you for that! :)
Thanks for your comment on this video too Evangeline. 😊 I have to pursue this minimalistic idea, indeed, and my love for colors.
Thank you for letting me inspire you! 😃
I really enjoy your loose and vibrant style.And you are very brave for travekling to Island in order to sketcht!
Thanks a lot for your compliments about my style muhlenstedt! 😊 Yes, these few sketching days were a bit tough because of the cold and sketching mostly alone but, then, I spent one month hanging out with sketching friends in the US and Canada in a wonderful summer weather so I am not going to complain! 😉
What a fabulous documented trip , love your drawings and sketchbook.
Thanks o8rufus. 😊
I adore your journals!
i adore the sketch of oskar!
very artistic and colourful sketchbook... lovely!
Thank you so much Fiona. 😊😘
That's a great travel journal, all it needs is a picture of you in it. :)
Oh, yeah, you're right!! 😅 I think I can take selfies with the Instax so next time I should think about doing it or print one from my phone afterwards (I remember I took a crazy selfie of me wearing my scarf on my head to keep my ears a bit warm, as I didn't have any hat 🤪). Thanks for your compliments about the journal. See you!! 😀
alterner surface lisse et grain torchon c'est pas mal du tout. ça donne un rythme particulier au carnet.
Oui, j'aime bien aussi et d'autres personnes m'ont fait remarquer également que de passer de l'aquarelle à l'encre, des surfaces aux lignes etc. permet que ce soit moins "lassant", de dynamiser le carnet et le rendre plus attractif. 😊
Gorgeous! I just subscribed :)
Thanks a lot Nichole and welcome then!! 🎉😃
Love it!,
Thanks!!!!!!!! 😊
Your travel journal is so lovely. You have so many unique pages. I love the different scenes you sometimes put on one page and all the ephemera. For being cold you still were able to accomplish a lot. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Paint to Paper! 😊 Thank you so much for your lovely compliments about my sketchbook, my style, the adventure! ☺️ I am really happy you liked the journal. 😌
Yes, I sometimes tend to sketch too big and the sketch takes the whole page but that's a shame, as I prefer when several ones are put together on the page, along with the ephemera. 😀 That's one of the reason I like big sketchbooks too. I talk about it in this video : ua-cam.com/video/m5Va9UjHvQA/v-deo.html. 😌 See you!!
Way too much unnecessary chit chat... couldn't watch to the end
Thanks for your your feedback Nikki, 😊 😅 🤣 I was wondering about making sketchbook flip through only with music sometimes. 😉 I hope you will like them more. 😌
