In the Flow with Sketches from Home
Many sketches from home this week. I'm inspired to paint where I live and capture these warm memories of place and home. Boats and seagulls and splashes of red paint are everywhere. I'm happy I love to paint them because they are in abundance around here! I also made a special painting from the walk to the school bus stop one morning - black birds everywhere. It was amazing!
This week I played with gouache, watercolor, acrylics, and neocolor - maybe a few colored pencils too. Lots of inspiring ideas!

The Value of Composition

Color swatching, thumbnails, mini paintings, oh my! Going bigger can feel a bit overwhelming and preparing for it can seem like drudgery but I know it gives me better results. I found a few ways to put the fun back into prep! Creating compositions and value plans are an opportunity to be creative and play with color, shape, and line. Then I can feel free to paint intuitively when I go bigger! A...
Following the Threads of Inspiration

Green was speaking, maybe shouting at me, so it dominated my art for a bit! I didn't fight it. I dove in and just followed wherever it led. Playing with a monochromatic or limited color palette let me focus on intuitive painting and composition. I was super happy with the result. Let's dive in!

What is your favorite watercolor marker? I've only tried tombows and winsor newton, but i really want to try albrecht durer and ecoline.
It’s so hard to pick! I like the tombows for skinniness and portability and they’re muted color options, winsor Newton are nice but not a fan of their color range though there are a couple I like, eco lines are great - very similar to tombow - but they have a more flexible tip I think and go on a little wetter (I feel like tombows dry out quickly) so I like them better for that, albrechts are probably my fave if I want to wet or smudge them. They have a lot of moisture and the color range includes more of what I like. I still need either ecoline or tombow though for other muted colors - the albrechts alone don’t have all the colors I like. Hope that helps!
Thank you for sharing these ideas for planning a painting. Very helpful. Look forward to the next part. Peace.
The Key Largo looks great underwater
Map crunch is hard to navigate.
It can be tricky. I just go and keep hitting the button that takes me from place to place until I find something I like. I make myself stop though after a few clicks so I don’t spend too much time looking for the “perfect” scene 🙂
I love going to the library and take out children’s books for inspiration
Love the circular motion of your seagull picture. Love you repetition, practice and style.Your big seagull looks so content...😍🎨
Really enjoyed the tour! Find this style so interesting as I really struggle to stay loose when im painting.
It’s definitely tricky. I have to constantly prioritize looseness over a wanting to make sure I have a good outcome. It gets easier with time though!
I love "he looks mad" followed by "nope he's fabulous" - and love all of your work from this week! So lush!
New to your channel. Did you say you have a Patreon? I love your sketch book paintings. Too fun!
Not yet! Would love to my schedule is crazy right now. Possibly over the winter after the holidays 🙂
The curved lines bring movement 💕That full spread seagull is cool🙂 Repetition 👍🏻🖌️🎨🐾Thank you, Lauren 💚
I am currently making a point of repeating painting/sketches in my journals. I feel like I get to see such a fun variety of the same subject and like you said, you get to experiment with it each time and build that muscle memory. I am terrible at landscapes. I would love to get better but for some reason my creativity and skills disappear when I attempt. 😂
It really does help and it’s fun! Best advice I can give for landscapes is limited color palette and look at it like it’s just a bunch of shapes. If you can work from a photo it can help to turn it upside down. There are so many ways to make a great landscape - don’t worry about any rules!
You know what's weird? I used to hate landscape painting bc i sucked at them.When I do portraits, I do semi realism, but for some reason, when I do landscapes, that isn't the way I want to paint and it took me a long time to figure that out. I love loose landscapes with bits of abstraction and a slightly more detailed focal point. I say all to say, maybe you just haven't found your way of painting landscapes yet?
Love it all!! Inspired
I lovr your style so much! Its actually more difficult than it seems. You and Sandi Hester are 2 of my fav artists right now. Also, an albanian artist named Pashk Pervathi. Older gentlman with breathtaking paintings
Oooo I’ll check him out! Thanks for sharing!
@LaurenBellArt it's his landscapes that are to die for!
This is gorgeous! You make it look so effortless. You're very talented.
Thanks so much - very inspiring 😊✨
I love your channel! Just found you today and you're exactly the type of artist I was looking for. (I love Sandi Hester and you are in the same genre IMO) Thank you!
Enjoyed your tutorial about value very much- so helpful because I am a newbie and it can be overwhelming at times!
This video is so helpful wow thank you!
this was so helpful, i took a lot away from this, thank you for teaching! <3 also, i love your green-heavy colour palette these days. your pictures are so beautiful and inspriring.
Whoa! I do see how this small value changes you made led the eye around better. Great teaching! Thank you!!
Love all the greens! 💚💚💚
Funny cat.😄 Great advice and techniques on how to bring a larger painting to fruition. Thank you.
Very good🍎Thumbnail sketches & small tries I like. Lately I’ve lingered in swatching colors, forge a palette. The paintings will be on mixed media paper on the smaller side. Time to create 🖌️🎨💚
NICE❤
What color was the green watercolor stick you used ? I like that color 😊
Cascade Green. It’s a nice mossy green 💚
Like your boats and seagulls a lot. The boat that almost fills the page I love to pieces.
Thank you! 💚
Waay too expensive! Do you have any other option for that pouch?
I think Amazon has some other options. Searching pencil roll might help bring up the right stuff 🙂
@@LaurenBellArt Thank you!
love this meditation on green! feeling inspired to spend more time with one image and experiment/play 😍 gorgeous work - especially love the last set you shared!
Thank you! 💚
Thank you Lauren. The green house is very nice.
Thank you! 💚
Great video
Interesting concept 💜💚💙
Great, great teaching. Thank you!
Your Art is organic, relaxed, beautiful and doable. Good advice to stick with and develop our sketches. TFS
Thanks Melinda! 💚
I was struck by how your video is so much like sandi hesters videos.
Hi! Maybe. It’s a common format in videos that are more of a here’s what I’m doing rather than a step by step. Basically you need an intro hook so people see what’s coming and want to keep watching and that’s visual for artists - so a bunch of short clips of art and what’s coming up. Talking is fine but has to be broken up with more visual clips of either art or actually doing things so lots of B roll. I haven’t done as much B roll in the past because I haven’t had the time. I do now. I can’t be anyone else than who I am and this is what it looks like when I try to tell the story of making my art 🤷♀️
I'm subscribed to both channels because they are unique in their own way. There are similarities, yes, but in that regard there are a lot of channels all showing "the same content" 🙂
I am struck by how snarky that sounds. It's an art vlog! My goodness!
Good idea! I tend to move on too quickly !
I would have never considered green to be a favourite colour of mine but I really love all these sketches and the paintings as well.
If you would do Patreon in the future I’d join 😊
I’m considering it! 💚
Great information.
Omg I want some derwent light-fast colored pencils so bad to go with my derwent drawing. The derwent drawing are my favorite favorite but I need some brighter colors too. Love your art. Love the inspiration ❤
Thank you! I love them too! 💚
Love ur work, new sub!
Nice to see you back and I loved your paintings x
Love the sailboats fishing boats cape cod seascapes. Your work really grabs me
Love the seagulls
some great fun happy sketches
Watching while I nurse my newborn! I just had my husband bring me over a coffee and i’m so enjoying this little flip through. Love your work and the nautical vibes!
Love the seagulls. They feature in much of my work too. I’m based in seaside fishing town in 🇬🇧
Lauren!!! Welcome back. I was just thinking about your channel. I love your artwork. It's very inspiring. I'm gonna pick up a child's book. Good tip. Thank you.
So many gorgeous paintings!
Thank you, Laura🩵Enjoyed your pages🖌️ Art practice on the couch, in bed., in the car, outside that means you can’t be stopped. Leave things fresh rather than overwork, I agree🐾 Glad you feel well & look to make more art🎨
Lauren💕been watching painter Laura from Australia 🗺️ She does abstracts. My colors go more into suggestive landscapes. Love when you paint the gulls🖌️
