I like to do arty things in my spare time and this channel holds me accountable. I use a mixture of media, from pen and pencil to watercolor, gouache and even oil pastels and acrylics! If it's colorful and fun to try, I will give it a go!
This is how I got on in July - personal art challenge results
Not gonna lie - this was harder than I thought it would be!
But I am REALLY proud that I found time to persevere and I really love my attempt so far of the Cézanne!
What do you think?

I need a less pressured challenge this month... 😍
Просмотров 708День назад
This is the final month working on my 'big project' so I decided to be kind to myself, and set myself a fun but non-pressured art challenge for August. It helps that I am not traveling at all this month, so I feel free to get my 'liquidy' art materials out and have a good play. It may be a disaster, but I'm excited to stick paper to my board and just have fun with zero pressure on myself. Thank...

These five books have come into my life over the last 4-5 months, and while I've not yet had time to read through them all, there are things in each that inspire me, and I'm excited to see how they might inform and inspire my art practice.

Another sketchbook tour video for you. I am always happy to share these every day sketchbooks in the hopes that it inspires others to use one too. A sketchbook is not a place for perfectly pristine and perfect art... in my experience anyway. I use my sketchbooks for playing, learning, testing and failing at all things art... Hope that you enjoy this one too! #sketchbooktour #sketchbookflipthrou...

Hey friends... Following on from last month when I said I needed to be more 'strategic' with my personal monthly art challenges, and this might have been my best month so far. Not because of the artwork I created - I didn't create much 'art' as I also left my palette behind when I went to the UK - but what I did learn from it will inform my art practice moving forwards. I hope you enjoy this vi...

Hello friends! Today I’m sharing plans for my July art challenge! A little bit different to the usual focus, which is normally using a specific art supply. I’d also love your thoughts on which one of three Cezanne painting you’d like me to have a go at. I’ll be leaving that one until the last week of July! Hope you have a fab week - I’ll be back Friday with a June recap video. 😘 Art books I'm s...

I am so chuffed with this little project. I made myself a drawing kit with an old wooden cigar box I was given, and it is SO perfect! Putting together what went inside took me a while, but I've been loving it since! What do you think? #drawingsupplies #artkit #artsupplies

A small but mighty art haul for your pleasure - and the selection of art supplies included is DROOL worthy. I lost the footage of swatching the pencils, so will redo that and add to the next art haul video! Hope you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Hey friends... I'm back with a personal art challenge results video! There's plenty of 'what was I thinking' in this video, but I do think that as the month progressed I got better at using the Kuretake Art Nouveau set... which makes me think that I need to be more strategic with my planning each month.

My personal June art challenge!

After a month of using my Kuretake Art Nouveau set in May, I am ready for a new challenge, and for June 2024 I have put together a small palette of Daniel Smith and Winsor & Newton watercolors which I'll use to work through and learn from the 'Making Color Sing' book by Jeanne Dobie. It's a while since I worked through a book in this way, but I think the structure in it will help this month as ...
Swatching my Polychromos pencil collection! 😍
Просмотров 5403 месяца назад
I have 57 of the 120 polychromes pencils, and am loving working with them. So I thought I'd swatch out the selection I have, and review whether I need to add any additional colors to my collection while there's a Jackson's Art sale on drawing materials. In an ideal world, I would have the full collection in their wooden box, but alas, I keep mine in a glass jar instead. 🤣 To get your hands on i...

I was so excited to get this Art Nouveau set from Kuretake last year, but I have not used it as much as I expected to. So for the month of May I will be exploring and experimenting with it EVERY DAY, to see what I can create. I'll be using it in three sketchbooks - and while traveling! - and will likely double up with some other art materials too. If you have suggestions or thoughts please do l...

This looks brilliant, watched and enjoyed till the end ☺☺
CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT YOU DO
That's pretty good 😮
Thx....nice to follow....
Hi, new subscriber here! I like to use oil pastels for master studies too. They kind of mimic the texture and blendability of oil paints. I haven't done one in quite a while.... These look lovely! And very ambitious.
Your monthly art challenges always inspire me to pick up some different supplies. I played with some inks last night, in fact. And I have plans to do some master studies with the oil pastels as well. I just need to pull myself away from the watercolours for a bit. Thanks for sharing! And good luck getting through this month, my friend.
Thanks Kilby! I cannot wait for this month to be done... I'll be able to get back to my regular routine in life and biz. I'm honestly feeling super burned out with the work aspect and the only thing keeping me going is the art practice. ❤️ It makes me so happy to know that you're inspired to try new supplies Kilby... I did not expect to enjoy the oil pastels / Cézanne after not enjoying the gouache / Masson one, and yet I look forward to doing a little bit each evening. 😎
I enjoyed browsing your sketchbook with you. Your sketchbook is really a sketchbook! That's great to see.
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! 😘
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience is such a delightful way. I certainly had to subscribe and like. I am a retired gal who loves hiking (solo) so weight is more of a concern now then before and I am also brand new to drawing with graphite, coloured pencils, and water colour. I certainly made a ton of notes of which I will begin to incorporate into my own travel art kits for the car, overnight hikes, and day hikes. Well done.❤
Oh, I'm so happy to hear that you're enjoying the videos! Less is definitely more when it comes to hiking, where every gram can feel quite weighty after a few hours... I hope you have fun working out what to take with you on your day hikes! 😘
oh I look forward to seeing what you create - I absolutely love acrylic ink. and use them lots
Thanks Sam! I'm having fun, which is the main thing this month! 😍
I so get this, Ive got so many challenges and scheduled paintings, its nice to have a break ☺☺
Yeah, too much life going on! 😎
My challenge for August will be surviving my life😂 and hopefully a bit of art.
Ha, I completely sympathize with this! 😍
Hi Evie! This sounds great and I loved your flip-thru's I love me some abstract art work! Can't wait to see wht you do! Hugs from HOT Az🥵🌵❤
Thank you Susan! It's a mixed bag so far I have to say! Stay cool and safe in Az my friend! ❤️
Maybe I missed it... but... why no acrylic markers? I mean, they contain acrylic ink! Daler Rowney even include an empty marker pen with their 6 FW acrylic ink sets! There are other brands, and in theory, you can refill liquitex markers and even most poscas (which unscrew the wrong way! - may need pliers) Have fun!
Hey Tara! Mostly because I have too much control over the markers.. I want to have less control, and more fun! 😬 But who knows, maybe I'll end up caving in! Only time will tell! 😘
@@eviedivadoodles Fair enough 😁 Enjoy your month!
That sounds like such a fun challenge! I need ideas like that (with the supplies I have) for crazy-work times when I just do not have the time/energy to devote to art. I tend to watch others do art during those times, rather than digging out things and trying to figure out what to create. I love those types of abstract colour pages.
Thank you! I have found myself spending ton much time 'listening' to other RUclips videos and not actually getting work or arty fun done, and getting frustrating because of it. So I'm hopeful this is going to fix all sorts for me! I've just taped up a page on my art board and am about to have some proper fun! 😍
@EveAshford yes!! Can't wait to see what you do! I'm guilty of watch and not doing lately. Iml like in a big dry spell😢
I love these challenges you set for yourself.The last time I played with acrylic ink, I spilled over half a bottle of Prussian Blue and it was everywhere.
Thanks Angie! And my goodness, that would have made a right mess I'm sure! 👀 I've tapped up some paper and am going to have some fun at the dining table - here's hoping I don't spill my inks! 🤞😍
Eager to see how you get on with the inks this month. Good luck with your big deadline!
Thanks Rachel.. I've been hard at work on the project, so I'm hopeful it'll all come together in time! thank goodness for art being a distraction when I need it! 😘
My challenge this month is gouache painting every day….Augouche 😂🤣
Ha ha ha ha, you made me laugh a little too hard! 🤣 Are you going water-gouache or acryla-gouache? I *almost* went gouache too... but this is less pressure - more fun me thinks! 😘
Best of luck! Inks are fun :)
Thanks Jaime! I've had fun when I've used them before, but it's been a while. And I could use the fun and more spontaneous nature of them to be fair! 😘
3:45 love that one! I love ink, I love its layering possibilities and vibrancy. Ooh I must try a silicone brush!
Ah, thank you - one of my favourites too! I'm excited to have fun with the inks... and definitely try a silicon brush, it makes some fun marks! 😍
I find the stickyness of honey based watercolours to go away with water and its not really been a problem But now paints that wont rewet very well is a problem that annoysvthe hell out of me some are like rock Butveveryone is different
Oh, that's a good point. Some of my DS paints struggle to rewet and that is SUPER annoying!
I love the "tiny container" for neocolors - where is that front please?
Hey Jude.. I searched my inbox for the old order and can't find it.. I think I added it on another video for someone else a while back, but can't recall which. If you search 'tiny container' - they come in red, green and blue only - I discovered them via Melanie Chadwick!
Love this Eve this is super helpful to see what you took with you xx I love your style ! I need to sketch more.
Thanks Sam! I do enjoy getting out and sketching. Very confident doing it when I'm on my own, not so much when others might watch me... 🤣 xx
Thanks for showing what you used and what you did. Looked like a fun day..
Thank you, it was a brilliant day! 😍
These are terrific and I’m so impressed that you put yourself out there and did an urban sketching group which is some thing I haven’t gotten brave enough to do. I think what I like most is how your sketches evolved as you kinda get more comfortable with the subject. I really appreciate what you use. I’m getting ready to go on a trip and I have packed so much stuff I need to go and reevaluate what I’m taking.
Oh, thank you so much! It was definitely anxiety inducing, but I took my OH with me (and left him at a cafe) so I didn't have too much time to myself to 'worry', and then I was there and getting stuck in. I hope that you get to go yourself one day... 😎 And I hope your trip is going well too!
Such beautiful drawing, love the ones made with inktense blocks and hearing your reflections about the experience of sketching outside! Happy to find your RUclips channel thanks to Katie Moody 😊
Oh, thank you! And I LOVE Katie Moody, one of my favorite Patreons! 😍
@@eviedivadoodles mine too!
I got a secondhand “zuca” wheeling bag from FB marketplace. It holds heaps of art gear up to a4 size and it’s a seat. I love taking it out on art trips now.
Ooooh, I'll have to have a look online! Thank you!
this is brilliant, watched and enjoyed till the end ☺☺
Thanks Chantelle! 😘
Wow, you got so much done!! Beautiful paintings!! When you were packing all of those sketchbooks, I thought “she’ll never use that many”, but you did!! Glad you had a great time and plan to go back 😊. It looks like you were in a lovely spot with so many options for subjects to paint.
Ha ha, yeah I was pretty sure I'd struggle to use all the supplies I took... and yet I managed quite a bit! 🤣 And thank you - I still quite like looking at them, which is something! 😉
You had such a productive day, congratulations! I liked the diptych soread between the two sketchbooks. It looks very fresh and spontaneous. Drawing and painting outside is hard. You now jnow what you like and what you didn't use. As for seating, check out the Walkstool, made in 🇸🇪. They are light but stable, comfortable and the legs are collapsible. It fits well in a backpack. I ❤ mine and take it to all my sketch walks and hikes. Your green tiny container with the inktense blocks caught my eye. It is so cute! I look forward to your upcoming videos
Hope you had a good time. I meet up with USK groups whenever I travel, and found the filks to be very welcoming and friendly. I dont usually know anyone there...but sketching and discussing sketches and art suppkies at the end of the session is a good way to break the ice. Good set of materials...but my guess is that you overpacked. Time flies when you go urban sketching, so less is more for a session on the go.
Thank you for this great video. I too have wanted to join the local urban sketching group but have been a chicken. lol. I also liked your sketch that you did across the two smaller sketchbooks, I think what I liked was the different values, made it more vibrant. I’m enjoying your videos and your cute songs at the end. 😊 Hello from Canada. 🙋🏼♀️🍁🩷
Hi Suzi! And yes, that's exactly it, the values really helped didn't it? Thank you for pointing that out Suzi! 😎 Great to hear that you are enjoying the videos, let me know if there's anything you'd like to see! 😘
Love to see the results!
Thank you!
I am glad the day was successful! And I really enjoyed seeing what you did and what supplies you used.
Thanks Kilby - it was a lot less anxiety inducing that I expected! 😎
If I can only take one medium, I take a watercolour palette with a waterbrush and a waterproof pen. But it’s fun to mix and match on the spot if you can carry more. You might like Helen Cryer’s “splodge and scribble” method for plein air.
That makes sense, and usually I do take a lot less when it's just me on my own. 😎 Yes, I've seen her videos using that method, but I think I'm a bit too much of a perfectionist for it.. It alarms me having too much 'splodge' on my page from the outset.. 😬 but I should give it another go.
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?
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. 😘
But you're going to use all these materials/sketchbooks? I definitely will get stuck and overwheelmed if I would carry this huge pack of materials with me. 😢 I think that too much is not necessary to have fun or draw outside but I hope you get awesome!
Hi Cora! Oh, I absolutely agree that you don't have to have all the things in order to draw outside... I often go out by myself with a limited selection, but this was a full day with others and I wanted to make sure I had plenty as I didn't know what to expect. I have my thoughts on the day / experience / my sketches coming in a video later today!
@@eviedivadoodles Oh, I understand. I don't draw outside or with other people but it's difficult to me to know what to carry when I go out. Thank you for your kind answer, I'll follow you, I love so much to learn new things from other artists and know how they work. Hope you were in my country, sometimes I would do artistic things with others but here we have nothing 😅❤️
all artists really do have the same problem when it comes to supplies lmaooo 🤣🤣🤣 I hope you had fun!
Ha ha ha, I think this is quite true! 🤣 And yes, it was great fun!
I think I’d pick either the inktense or neocolor ii if you need to reduce load. I’d leave the water soluble markers and pencils behind, and pick just 2 graphite pencils, 2 line art pens and take the big blue Molotov. I like to take a sketchbook and some loose papers on a clip board rather than 4 sketchbooks. Cool pencil roll. It’s nice to see “me-made” art tools. Sometimes I feel like everyone on RUclips has a Sendak roll. Good luck. It’s good to find a group of like minded people to connect with. Hope you have fun.
Hope you have a fabulous time! Not too much! Definitely just the right amount! 5 hours is a long time...Plus, it's for art!! So, it's never too much. Have a great week!
Thank you! I ended up using a little bit of everything, but will definitely lighten my load for the next outing with this group! 🤣 Hope you're having a great week too! 😘
Hopefully you liked it and you don’t worry about bringing to much, because you can’t take to much on a art trip
I had great fun, but I think I could've used less! Carrying all that was a bit much! 🤣
I snap all my supplies to make them lighter to pack, I multi day hike weight is an issue, have a 10 tin of neocolor 2s that has a quarter of my 40 set in. Better to use them in bits than leave them at home pristine.
Agree completely, which is why my neocolors and inktense have been snapped. I've even sawn down pencils too for another kit! 🤣 Lighten the load as much as possible!
Hope everything went well Evie , the amount of Art materials you’ve packed ready is really good for 5 hours , don’t worry xx . I’ve got 2 sets of the caran d’ache museum aquarelle watercolour pencils , marine & landscape and I really love them , I’ve been wanting them for almost 2 years and I finally have some of them , both sets were bargains as well . Xx
Hey Kerry! It was great fun, thank you! And I did end up using quite a bit of what I took with me, so that felt good. 😎 Funny thing, the two sets you have are the ones I was looking at, but they were so prices, I decided to just grab a couple open stock first.. maybe Christmas this year someone will treat me! 😍 I'm glad that you're enjoying them! Xx
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! 😎
Yeah.... ! I just went away fo two weeks and brought one 12 x 12 art creations sketch book and a set of micron pens. I stopped on Day 2 and bought a ton of stuff in a French art supply shop but decided not to open the package once it was packed up!!!! I spent the two weeks on the 12 x 12 with the pens. Illustrated the whole trip. Very funny. It was a test. Usually I take 2 paper blocks, and 3 art supplies... for a "normal" journal. Have fun and curious what you will do with what.
@@jackielubeck ha ha, that’s so funny! I ended up using *some* of all that I took, and it was good to experience different materials *in the wild*… I definitely know what didn’t work for me today! 😍
I recently found out that the Molotow markers are refillable!
@@dorianadesanto4158 oh my word, this is the BEST news.. thank you so much for the heads up! 😘
@@eviedivadoodlesYes, this is why I ditched Posca markers and moved on to Molotow. They also sell extra nibs. Very sustainable!
I hope you had a wonderful experience. I hear you on the overpacking and the introvertedness (autocorrect does not like this word I just made up).
@@KilbyDelaney-jt1kw it’s a VERY good word, autocorrect should get its act together! 😆 air was really fun in the end. Got a sore bum mind you, ended up not taking the stool as it’s quite heavy, but ended up regretting it a LOT! 😆
@@eviedivadoodles i just got home from a little plein air session. I used my new Arches paper and wow it was a pleasure. I also overpacked like a champ. Only used a fraction of what I brought but I had it just in case
those cork sketchbooks look so cool! 😍
@@ChantelleArts yeah, they’re super cheap too, so I am very prolific in using the pages! 😆
It's Talens Art Creations.
Do you age the link for your pattern for the Sendak dupe?
Yes,I am interested in getting your roll pattern as well. Thanks.
@@julianneaitch hola! Yes, it’s now up on my personal website: evetokens.com/shop/p/rowan-tool-roll-sewing-pattern - let me know if you have any questions! 😘
@@eviedivadoodles ooooo fab! Will do. Now to decide on fabric lol.
If it fits in your bag and you are willing to carry it around, I'd like to call it coming prepared instead of over packing. I'd like it if you could get back to us on your experience on meeting up with the group and tell us if you feel you took too many supplies.
I have just managed to buy one of the original sensac sorry I don't know how to spell it on eBay for 3rd of the price I can't believe how lucky I am I was about to buy one like it in leather on Etsy as I am just a beginner with sewing skills
I hope you have a great time! I’m definitely an introvert and would be very nervous as well. Hopefully your nerves ease as soon as you get there and you’ll love it, the ‘before’ is always the worst 😅. Can’t believe how much you can put in the Peg & Awl case. Enjoyed seeing all your cases and supplies for the day. The tool roll bag is LOVELY!! Have fun!!!
@@FaithAnnNB thanks so much! I ended up being nervous for the first 30 minutes but then once I got a position and started drawing, I was fine. Bit nervous sharing my work at the end - everyone did just the one piece while I did MANY! 😆 But it was a fun experience. 😍
I hope you have heaps of fun!
@@jaimeo2312 it was SO MUCH fun! Just finished, a long day! 😆 But I am so chuffed with the few bits I did! 😘
