Hello and welcome! My name is Parul, and I am an artist, and illustrator, from London, UK. I create paintings and illustrations inspired by everyday objects, scenes, and little moments that can otherwise go unnoticed. They all tell a story. I am obsessed with colour and pattern and love capturing all of this in my work and in my sketchbooks. On this channel, I share my art process, my favourite art materials, and behind the scenes of my studio life. I hope you have a fun time!

Travel sketchbooks: The biggest lessons I’ve learnt
Sketching while traveling can be both pure joy and equally stressful. I have a tough time deciding what to draw, and how much to draw in my sketchbooks. Trying to strike the right balance between drawing everything I see and not drawing at all, spending time with my family, and being in the moment is not easy. Over the years I have done a bit of everything, not drawn at all, and felt guilty or spent my whole time drawing and not spending enough time with family or friends and felt guilty. So in this video, I wanted to share a few tips that I've learnt over the years, on how to enjoy drawing while travelling as an artist without having full-on FOMO.

Why EVERY Artist should try gouache

As an artist, you know that finding the right art medium can be transformative. For me, that moment came when I discovered Gouache paints. It was as if my creative vision had finally found its perfect match, allowing me to capture the world around me in a way that felt effortless and true. So this video is a love letter to Gouache and why I think every artist should give this art material a go ...
Overcoming CREATIVE BLOCK with colour play
Просмотров 4,2 тыс.Год назад
When I'm feeling anxious, stuck, or in a creative block, I give myself permission to open my sketchbook and just play with colour. I just fill the page and go with the flow. It’s intuitive. I play until the colours take on a life of their own and connect with each other. I would love to know if you guys do the same or have any other ways of managing creative blocks. ✨Art supplies used or mentio...

Choosing Keeping watercolours ART HAUL & review
Просмотров 7 тыс.2 года назад
In this video, I visit the gorgeous stationery store, Choosing Keeping here in London. I try and review their Retro 1980s Japanese Gansai watercolours set and drool over the rest of their sets. Have some good old swatching sessions and test my new Gansai paints out with some pattern painting. And finally, I share my thoughts about them and compare these watercolours to gouache. ✨Choosing Keepin...
the photography of your video is extraordinary, and clearly what you say resonates with me as perfectionism, ans letting go of it. Your art is beautiful, I will be watching all of your videos. I have a question : I bought some art supplies, I’m all set to start a sketchbook, I’ve been for at least a month. I’m a creative person, but not a artist. I’m blocked and can’t seem to be able to start. I’m afraid I won’t like what will come out of it, that I won’t find it beautiful. What should I do to get unstuck? Thank you so much for you input. geneviève
Ahh thanks for your lovely message. I can totally relate to getting stuck and not knowing how to start. I’ve made a video of how I trick myself into starting a new sketchbook. Have a look at that. Also I usually keep a board on Pinterest with ideas of what I might want to draw if I am not feeling inspired. Or why not go on a drawing date to a cafe and people watch and draw. You can do it on your own or with a fellow artist. Summer is a great time for that. And finally if you are interested in drawing people why not try a life drawing class. Find one near you or there are loads online that you can join. I hope this helps.
I love the way you curate your videos, the editing and how you capture footage and weave in your artwork is incredible. Look forward to your future videos ❤
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!
This is such a wonderful idea and something that I’m going to do whenever I start a new sketchbook. I just uploaded a short showing my first attempt and I’ve included that I got the idea from your lovely channel. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed the video and my idea. And thanks for sharing and spreading the word.
I appreciate all your thoughts and I am thankful to youtube to suggest this beautiful video before my trip to abroad. Thank you 🩷
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video.
This was such an inspiring video to watch, it actually made me tear up a little! I loved listening to your journey and what you discovered about your art style and what makes you happy. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. :)
Awww thanks a lot. I really appreciate it.
What type of gouache is it in the round pans?
They are Holbein pan traditional gouache. But I think they are called Opaque watercolours on the packaging.
I loved this video and completely get what you are saying. I spent so long thinking that my sketchbook needed to be perfect that it stopped me creating. Now I just use it and what I create, it what I create. I can refine and assess later, the important part is to just get on with it.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
I instantly followed you when the video ended! ❤ Your artwork is beautiful and the videography was cinematic. I am leaving feeling very inspired and somewhat nostalgic 🌟 thanks for sharing
Awww thank you. I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Good work thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot! ☺️
Because of you ❤❤ you convince me to try gouache
Awww and did you like it??
@@parularora im used to watercolor i need to practice
Ahh it is quite different from watercolours. I’m sure you’ll enjoy and find a way to use it your work. ☺️
Lovely video and great advice! I have never documented my trips in my sketchbook before. I only wished to, and didn't know where to begin, and I was intimidated by the commitment. So instead, I'd just travel as usual and return to drawing when my trip was over. I will be travelling again soon and I really wish to start my first ever travel sketchbook and feeling uneasy, this video has given me a new perspective and now I'm very excited!
Awww it’s never too late to start. I’m glad this video gave you ideas of how you could incorporate your art with your travels. Have a fab time!
Just came across you on tiktok and saw you have youtube, immediately came over to see what long play info you have on gouache! Already surprised to hear I could buy gouache sticks! ❤️ 😊
Brilliant! Glad you found it helpful! ☺️🙌🏽
I’ve only just recently discovered you & subscribed! I’m enjoying going through all your videos - you have a lovely calming manner about you & I LOVE seeing your cheerfully quirky & colorful pieces of art! I wish I could do this… 😻🎨🙌🏼🖼️🩷💚🩵🧡
Awww thanks a lot and I’m glad you have enjoyed my videos. ☺️🫶🏽
I absolutely LOVED your quirky rendition/painting of the museum chair, especially with the use of those pops of neon orange coloured paint!! 😻🎨🤩🩷🪑🧡
Aww thanks a lot. It’s fun to reinterpret things in your own pov. ☺️
Thats how i feel about acrylic gouache ❤. I just love the opacity but also that i can layer without mixing and blending other layers❤
I totally agree! What a great and underrated art material.
I found your channel last week and binge watched it. Your videos are lovely! I hope you make more. 🩷
Awww thank you. I have a few work commitments that I need to wrap up and then it’s back to making a lot of new videos. I have so many videos in the making. I can’t wait to share them with everyone. ☺️
@@parularora Lovely! Look forward to seeing them. 🙂
Your whimsical style is adorable! 🩷🩵💛💚
Ahh thanks a lot!
I love everything about your channel and you =D Why it is so long you did a video? will you go on? I binge watched them all yet ^^<3 thank you
Aww thank you for your kind words and I really glad to hear that you have been enjoying my videos. I am definitely going to be making more. A few shows / other work commitments means that the videos had to take a back seat. But I’ll be sharing more soon. Thanks
Great advice!
Glad it was helpful! ☺️
Please publish your sketchbook!
Awww hahaha thanks! I guess at some point I’d like to publish a compilation of my sketchbooks. ☺️
@@parularora Please do! Do you have additional content or patreon membership coming?
Amazing talent! Thank you for the inspiration 😍
Thanks! I am glad you liked it. 🫶🏽🫶🏽
im obsessssed with this!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
Beautiful video and artwork inside the sketchbook. I love the neon red color. Which brand and color is that?
Thanks a lot. I use a few different neon brands. For gouache it’s Holbein and Turner. For Japanese gansai it’s Choosing Keeping.
Beautiful...your video editing skills are amazing as well. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks so much 😊
What is the name of the paint set you show with the round pans? Is it gouache? You don’t list it in the description of paint used. I’m always looking for a set of gouache in pans I don’t want to carry tubes. Thanks
Yes they are pan gouache. They are Holbein and are called opaque watercolours. The reason why I haven’t listed it is because I bought mine from a seller on eBay from Japan as they aren’t available in the UK. There are also Carandache pan gouache that are more easily available but the pigment quality of Holbein ones are much better.
Thank you for this video. I’ve realized tonight that gouache is my medium. I like to use it loose and with a lot of water. I have limited belief about gouache. Like real artist only paint big, on canvas, and with acrylic. Thanks to your video, I realized I am an artist too. Even if gouache is my medium ❤
Ahhh I wouldn’t diss gouache like that. It can stand against any medium and shine through. I do agree it’s a very underrated medium but people are really warming up to it. I am glad you enjoyed the video!!
Thank you! You make the most relaxing, inspiring, informative videos!
💛💛💛
Ohhh I loved this video. What a fabulous museum and once again, I found your audio insights and suggestions so inspiring. Your interpretation of the coloured chair is gorgeous! thank you for sharing. You use such amazing colours!
Thank you! You will love this museum. It has so much to offer. And glad to hear you enjoyed the video! ☺️👩🏽🎨🫶🏽
I need to go there!!!
Yessss! You won’t be disappointed. It’s a brilliant museum!
I have a question here. In the opening frame with the two sketchbooks- one practicing chair, two- final chair, what is the second sketchbook?
It’s a Daler Rowney Ebony sketchbook. Have a look at my highlights on Instagram.
Hello, Parul😊 I was encouraged by your ultra lovely videos! I want to draw something, but I’m always confronted with the fear of blanc pages. So, when I found your instagram and youtube, I was so excited❤ I can’t wait until your next video. I’m your huge fun ! Thank you😊
Aww thank you for your kind words. I am so glad that my work and videos have resonated with you. I’m working on some ideas for new videos so hopefully soon! ☺️🫶🏽
Thank you for sharing this idea, I love it and am going to start it too.
Brilliant! Glad you enjoyed the video. Please tag me on Instagram when you try it out as I’d love to see your creations. 🫶🏽
Beautiful thank you 🙏
Thanks so much! ☺️
Hey Parul! I just come from discovering you on Instagram and also found your YT channel this way. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea! Really cool! I'll definitely try this out in my next SB. Thanks for sharing! Also I really like your style and color choices, it's just so joyful and fun. Happy drawing and painting!🖌❤😊
Aww thank you. I really appreciate it. Please do tag me on Instagram if you try this idea as I’d love to see it. I must warn you that it’s highly addictive and once you start you won’t want to stop! ☺️🫶🏽
Your color palettes are so beautiful! Would you mind sharing the brand for the gouache sticks? I do not see them above.
Ahh thanks so much! I really appreciate it. The brands called Shuttle Art and they are branded as Tempera sticks. I have to warn you that these are more student grades ones and aimed for more kids art. There are loads of brand available in case you don’t find these specific ones. They are a great non messy way of carry gouache and to work in sketchbooks but I won’t recommend using them for final works.
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate it!!
Thank you so much for sharing your sketchbook, as an artist I know how daunting and scary it must be to share it. It’s like a diary. But this is so inspiring and makes me want to do the same. Also having a book for colour swatches. I also love pigeons, they are so misunderstood and lovely birds. ❤
Thank you! Good to hear you enjoyed it.
What a beautiful inspiring video.
☺️ Glad you enjoyed it.
Would love to see more. Love your work it is so inspiring.
Thank you! Yes I plan to make more videos. So watch this space! ☺️👍🏽
They look so cute! I will start doing this for sure!!! thanks for the tip :D
Thanks. Do tag me on Instagram when you share your creations.
Lovely storytelling ❤
Thanks a lot for sharing this great idea ❤
This should have a million likes❤
Thank you for this video !
My pleasure!
This is an insanely well made video. Wow! Please keep sharing! I'm so inspired to continue <3
Thank you. I really appreciate it. ☺️
This is so lovely - both the edit and the beautiful work
Ahh thanks so much!
I love this!! You really spoke to my heart in this video!
Love your paintings. I have spent the last 10 days in Laos and brought two sketchbooks and many supplies. I have ended up using a little pocket notebook, pencil, and a tiny watercolor kit exclusively. It took me a few days to get over the fear of missing something by not using all the supplies or whatever but the simplicity of pencil and paper made it more easy to do things quicker and easier. I also take lots of photos so I have plenty references later on.
Hello Parul - thank you for your wonderful videos and your art is so colourful and inspiring. I will soon start working with gouache for the first time. May I please ask - a little unrelated but relevant- what sharpener are you using to achieve such beautifully sharpened pencils?
Aww thank you and definitely not irrelevant at all. Happy to chat about art materials anytime. It’s a Swordfish desk manual sharpener. I’ve had it for ages and it works really well. 👍🏽
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated and keep up the fabulous videos!! @@parularora
Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing your honest feelings, this is very refreshing!
this is really inspring and the whole video is artistic. just can't stop watching.
Ahh thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. I’m working on another sketchbook tour so keep a look out for that.
